BY W. . FORREST (I'nltert Pr Staff Correspondent. PA.TU?. May 2 (by mail). While the T.'nltert States is struggling- with the war prohibition problem, France is today quietly administering a most effective check to demon rum and its lire effect on national efficiency in war time. . In those districts of France Where the h ghesf efficiency is demanded of those pn?aBl in vital war work or where vigilanoe and sfamina are the order of the day, strong drink is barred. Alcohol has bt-en driven from the limy Z'-nes, naval zones, munition zones, isolated where it i incapable of material interference with the war strenath of the nation. France s method is strict control. In every army zone of Northern France, the commanding general is not only the supreme head of the military i trees, but -"governor" of the uiviliaii population. Tn these zones alcohol has been driven out. In every naval zone of the Atlantic and Mediteriancan coasts strong drink is pro
hibited the simple virtue of a de
cree issued by the 'admiral commanding the rone. Xot only are sailors and men in national service denied the use of trong alcoholic beverages, but ail inhabitants of theAone. women as well
as men. Albert Thomas, minister of munition", has issued1- sim.'ai decrees
to regulate the alcoholic consumption of the great munition making areas when these areas aie not in military
or ntvel zones. Xot only have prohi
bitory measures' been decreed, but heavy penalties are 'mposed when workers, by any chance, set bad example.f for fellow workers. Chamber of leputie recently
denid the urgent request of ex-Premier Briand to allow the government to take the liquor problem of the country in hand and control it by right of arbitrary decrees. Political complications intervened. But since France is at war, this arbitrary control Is placed in the hands of the military authorities, who are today regulating the problem with a Arm hand. Pending the forthcoming peace when the great problem of general prohibition In France will flame up again in the French legislature the present system of control today is simplicity itself. Here is the way Vice Admiral A. Rouyer, commandant in chief of the prefect maritime of Toulon, the great Mediterranean naval center, proceeded to rid Toulon of alcohol on March 3. 1917: "Detree: Considering- ihat. "Tinder the pressure of coming military events, on which depend fne safety of the country, it Is necessary to carry to its maximum of intensity the production of labor in factories of war; Considering that alcohol is a redoubtable enemy, not only against soldiers and workers of the two sexes, but also, in a general fashion, against women and young people who represent the future of the race; "Prohibition Article 1 The sale and consumption of spirits, alcoholic liquors and appetisers (aperitifs) other than those of a base of wine less than 53 per cent are. forbidden in cafes, restaurants, buffets, bars and saloons to military men and sailors of all grade,?,: men belonging to mobilized classes or thos engaged in work or service of national defence; in private factories? as well as those (f the navy or military: to women or young people of less than 21 years of age. . "Article 2 All infractions of this decree will be dealt with . vigorously under the law. "Article 3 The civil authorities of Toulon are charged with the execution of the present decree." Prohibition in France. nh?pr ad
ministered by military authorities in time of war or civil authorities in time of peace, will never bring the lifjlit French wines or beer under its ban.
These are without the pale.
SHORTAGE OF MAIDS CAUSED B WAR
nr I nlted Pre. CHICAGO. May 19. There's a shortage of maids along the North Shore today. Offers of $20 a week with board and room, private bath, laundry and other privileges for a maid and a cook are going begging at one home. Applications for employment as maids have fallen off from fifty to seventy-five per cent in Evanston, Willamette and Winnet"ka. "Our applications have dropped off fifty per cent since the declaration of war with "Bermany," Mrs. S. Anderson, who operates one of the biggest agencies for women workers in Chicago, declared. "I am inclined to believe that the girls are getting married. They must be marrying the men who are trying to evade war service." 'Mrs. Helen Gahl. . director of the employment agency at" Evanston, puts the blame on the munitions factories, as does Mrs. E. N. Graham, director of the Benson Avenue agency.

BARNARD TELLS K0W TO BUY MEATS BV DR., H. E. BARNARD Pure Food and Drutf Commissioner. Written for the Vnlted Pre. Tlmt meat ordered by telephone costs a third more than meat carefully selected at the butcher-fhop by the person who is ruling to prepare it, is a fair statement. MeEts vary greatly in price and there is no real basis for fixing the pr'ce save conditions of ten domes the consumer has learned to demand, and a a matter of fact, ten-

as much by the method of preparation as by the quality of meat or the kind of cut. It does not pay to buy a fatty cut unless the cook knows how she can use the fat which she trims off. The cheaper cuts of beef are by far the most economical source both of lean and edible meat. ' There is as much flavor in the cheaper cuts and cooking tests show that the proportion of waste and shrinkage is not greater in cheaper than in expensive cuts. Good meat is nearly odorless, having only m slight flesh smell. Any taint is usually betrayed to the olfactory nerves. Sometimes the surface of meat held in cold storage for several weeks has a slight odor, but this will disappear with washing. Good beef is a rich, bluish red. which turrrs bright cherry or pale red after exposure to ai?. Veal is best when dull pink, but the color varies from almost white to light red. Lamb cuts range from light pink to grayish red, according to age. Mutton is a dull brick red. Pork from young pigs is nearly white, and from older animals, a dull pink or rose color. Fat of all meat should 'be nearly white.v free from clots and spots. Beef fat often has a decided yellow color, being determined by the kind of feed and the breed of the animal. Soft, spongy and reddish colored bones indicate the meat Is from a young; animal, whle hard dense white bones are characteristic of old ones.

OPERATOR REFUSES TO QUOTE PRICES The public service commission, members of which are now conducting hearing throughout the state to ascertain the reasons for the "outrageous" prices of coal and the alleged shortage. Thursday received a letter in which it was disclosed that a certain mine operator in Indiana hM refused to quote prices on coal to school authorities in Indiana for the use of school buildings during the coming winter. The school officials had asked for prices on coal to be dellevered duYing the summer months of June and July, when normally coal operators are begging for orders. The operator in question announced in a letter that the car conditions and the "heavy obligations with regular customers" were the reasons for turning down the proposed order. , Consider Buying: Coal Mine.
