men PRICES OF MEAT NOT DOE FOR BREAK

U. S. Report Blames Increased Consumption and Losses Caused by Disease and Exposure.

"WASHINGTON, July 5.—High meat prices probably will continue indefinitely. This is the conclusion of the department of agriculture as set forth in a report on the situation made to4ay.

High meat prices prevail throughout the world. One reason for this :s the fact that the production has failed to keep pace with the increase of population. Other contributory causes given are the increased cost of production and diminished purchasing power of the money unit.

While holding out little or no hope

a lowering of meat prices in the hei.r future, the report says there probably will be a gradual growth and expansion in the world's production of r.tteef, mutton and pork which may or 'tnay not equal the rate of increase of the meat eating population,

Causes of Heavy Losses.

The available supply of meat in this country would be much greater, the report states, were it not for the enormous losses caused by disease and exposure. In the past 16 years it i,s estimated that about 1,476,000 cattle have died annually from disease and approximately a million und a half from ^exposure. In 1914 at least seven million hogs died of cholera

The report points out that the United States still is not only the greatest meat eating nation but the greatest producer. Approximately twice as much is consumed as in Germany before the war and the total consumption in Rus.si*. Great Britain and France is less than in Germany. The per capita consumption in the United States also is ,far the greatest except in Australia and

New Zealand. In the fiscal years 19L4 and 1915, the United States imported more fresh, chilled and frozen beef and mutton .than it exported and imported more 4 beef of all kinds than it exported in 1914.

cord the remedies which should bo applied to the present situation. "Several Latin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore the Mexican government only awaits information that the government of the United States would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above or whether it is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments. "In the meantime this government proposes to employ all efforts that may be at its disposal to avoid the recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation. At the same time it hopes that the American government on its part may make use of all efforts to prevent also acts of its military and civil authorities on the frontier that might cause new complications.

MEX VOLUNTEERS CALLED.

Large Commands Ar« Recruited and Put In Fighting Shapo. EL PASO, Tex., July 5.—While the national guard organizations beins mobilized on the American side of the border are being recruited, drilled and equipped to bring them to the highest possible point of efficiency, the Mexican de facto government is taking similar steps with volunteer troops, concentrated in some of the larger cities of northern Mexico, according to Mexican reports here today.

The reports indicate that large commands of volunteers have been mobilized at Chihuahua City, Jiminez, Parral, Rosario, Torreon and Durango City and are being drilled daily, while Carrancista recruiting agents in- these districts have never slackened the activities begun several weeks ago.

Mexican military authorities offer similar explanations for these actlvites to those advanced, in the United States for the border mobilization asserting that they are merely "measures of precaution."

With the diplomatic aspect of the Mexican problem apparently on a mora calm basis today it is obvious that everywhere along the border American military offleors are attempting to make tlfe frontier concentration as of m^ch practical value as possible to the state soldiers. Army officers pointed out that the actual field training they are receiving will be of vast benefit in the event of hostilities and that in any case the mobilization is proving of great mlitary value in that it exposes and offers an opportunity to rectify weaknesses in the nation's second line, of defense.

Motors Replace Wagons.

In this connection steps are being taken here today to equip with motor cars the ambulance companies of the national guard organizations stationed in El Paso. It was announced that the First Massachusetts ambulance company probably would' receive motor equipment within a few days and that trucks would be assigned to replace the wagon trains of the military organizations.

With the expected arrival of the several units of the^ Pennsylvania guard it is believed that concentration of militia in El Paso will be completed.

Guardsmen Get Tags.

Many housewives have found a happy solution of the breakfast problem in New Post Toasties. These new corn flakes are distinctive in that they bear a self-developed flavor all their own—the delicate, fascinating flavor of choice, white Indian corn. Unlike other flakes, they do not depend on cream and sugar to make them palatable.

Try a handful without cream and sugar—note the fine flavor and new form also the tiny "bubbles" on each flake. These bubbles are a distinguishing characteristic and are produced by the quick, intense heat of the new process of making, which also brings out the wonderful flavor.

Although the New Post Toasties are a great improvement in flavor and form, they cost no more than ordinary flakes. Have a package delivered for tomorrow's breakfast.
