UNCLE SAM MUST FURNISH WORLD WITH ITS MEAT

Food Administration Says Problem Can Be Met By Stopping Waste. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. The problem of supplying the allies with meat has devolved mainly on the United States and daily the burden is growing more onerous, according to a statement issued by the food administration today. 'War time demands have been so great that Europe has been making alarming inroads on its herds with a

i.uiiocqucui reuucuon m us aomesuci supply.

Since the war started there has been a total decrease of 115,005,000 in the world's supply of meat producing animals. Cattle increased 7,090,000 in the United States while the Jotal world decrease was 28,080,000. Sheep decreased 3,000,000,000 in this country, while the world supply was diminished by 54,500,000. ' Hogs increased 6,275.000 in America, but the general supply decreased 32,425,000. Exports to Allies. During the year ending June 30, 1916, America exported 1,339,193,000 pounds of meat as compared with a three year ante-bellum average of 493,848,000 pounds. These exports went chiefly to the allies, whose capital stock of animals has decreased 33,000,000 head. "Although the European countries have drastically reduced meat consumption among war workers," says the statement, "this Eaving has been overcome by the greatly increased demands to supply men in the armies and shops and women who have taken up physical labor. Millions of individuals to whom fresh meat twice a week was a luxjiry, are now, by necessity of their extreme physical labor eating it twice daily. "The war has injected into an already difficult situation a number of vicious conditions which are Jeopardizing the.ultlmate animal products supply of the world. The production of fodder in Europe has been diminished by the diversion of productive labor to war and its import has been curtailed by shortage in shipping and by the isolation of markets by belligerent lines. Stock Will Decrease. The problem facing America is not only one of supplying the immediate demand of the Allies, but one which is more far-reaching in its significance. As the war goes on there will be a constant lessening of the capital stock of the world's food animals. Among our western allies, the demand outruns further every day the decreasing production, and as shipping becomes further shortened by

A home lasts a lifetime. The average life on an auto is only four years. A home is an asset, automobile a liability. Above we have listed three of the medium priced cars on the market, and with them illustrated three homes which can be secured by a first payment at the cost of the car named. Look at the pictures, think of the family, talk it over with the wife, and then let us give you some interesting details about the materials, the mill work, shingles, hardware, cement, etc. These are good things to know even if you DO buy a car.

We believe that everyone who can afford a car should have one but we do not believe in putting the Auto before the Home. A pleasure car breeds expensive habits while building a new home develops thrift and life long happiness. When Building, go to the following Dealers FIRST. They are Richmond's Leading Architects, Hardware, Paints and Supply houses.
