Systematic Food Saving Systematic food saving is beginning to tell.
One 'of Richmond's: restaurant owners sells one boiled ham a week now in comparison with
three and four a year ago. Besides this his pur- : chases of meat show a decline of 200 pounds..
If every restaurant in the United States shows a proportionate decrease of neat consumption,
owing to meatless days and a the public to eliminate meat, a
conservation is under way. Its full meaning will assert itself at the end of the year when statistics
; will show the saving effected all ' try.;. ' 4 ". Tabulation of meat saved in
in New York City last November shows 193,545 pounds. ; An estimate places the number of homes in the United States 22,000,000. Every time a family conserves one pound of meat, 22,000,000 pounds are saved for our army and the Allies. The United States Food Administration urges housewives to -observe meatless and Wheatless days with fidelity. One report to the Administration from a wholesale-house that sells to both hotels and butchers says that the former had a 80 per . cent decrease while the retail trade 'and homes showed only a 12 per cent decrease. : "It is time," says the Administration, "that every housewife was following the example set her by the hotels and public eating houses" and having definite meatless and wheatless days in her menage." Ninety per cent of the hotels in the Southeast are obeying the request of the Administration. Virtually every hotel and club in Chicago is carrying out the conservation program.
Who is Physically Superior? Investigation by the provost . marshal general's office into the average physical soundness of city, and country boys shows a result that virtually is a tie. The comparison resulted as follows: Of 85,017 registrants in urban areas, 9,969 were rejected. Of 44,462 registrants in rural ireas, 12,432 were rejected. In other words,

THE CLINICCLEARING MOUSE FOR. TUBERCULOUS CASES Fighting to Keep Homes Safe From Eneay as Dangerora as German Bombs. The city of Manchester, Mass., has a tuberculosis visiting nurse. Not long ago a call came to her from a relief agency which had discovered in a dark tenement a woman and her children in a deplorable condition. The nunc found there a family of four living In three unheated rooms, dirty and disorderly because the mother was too weak to keep them clean. A little girl who should have been at school was doing the house work and caring for the baby. The mother, bearing the marks of advanced tuberculosis, was nursing the baby. When the father came in the nurse discovered that his eyesight was bad. which might account for his being unable to bold a Job for any length of time. A physician, called on the advice vf the nurse, pronounced the woman . tn advanced consumptive. She must top nursing the baby and go to a anatorium. The nurse knew that Jhls meant that the care of th entire tamlly would bow be under her suterviston. She would have to help

have decreased very seriously since the war began. The normal supply to Great Britain from Denmark, Holland and Sweden has practically been cut off so that she now looks to Canada and the United States for all her needs. Everywhere in England the price has risen and the quality deteriorated, many shops having none at all on hand. -In fact, there has been talk of requistioning the civilian's supply entirely for army needs. And has America and Canada's production advanced to cover this European shortage? On the contrary, there are 4,000,000 less hogs in this country than there were a year ago. There is a shortage of 10 per cent in hog production in . the United States.' In spite of this the American people ate 3 pounds more pork per person last year than was the average annual consumption for the three years before the war. . Now that our own army is in the field, there wll be a still heavier drain on our pork supply. . This we must meet both by increased production and by economy, in pur own consumption. - : In Canada there has already been systematic saving in this direction. Baconless days in Canadian hotels and public eating-places showed a saving of 39 per cent for September and 41 per cent for October over the corresponding months of last year. It was estimated that the monthly saving made in this way. wpuld furnish a day's rations for more than half of all the Canadian army.

It has recently been my good fortune to meet very large audiences oil people in various cities of the United States, in connection with our exposures of German , propaganda in this country. I have been told repeatedly by those who are in a position to know, and whose standing in their various communities is of the highest, that the results secured, up to date, by the returned officers of the BritishCanadian Mission are infinitely greater than any which can possibly come from recruiting Itself. A great number of meetings held under - the auspices of the Mission, addressed by officers and men of the Mission, seem ' LINES ON OUR BIRTHDAY How rapidly time onward goes.

to have caught the public fancy in a most tremendous fashionTo such' an extent, is this true that I am convinced, even if not one single recruit' were brought io the colors as a result of these meetings. Great Britain and Canada would be far more than repaid for any expenditures in connection with the work, by the splendid results secured in moulding public sentiment throughout this entire country. Tens of thousands of people seem to have been abe to visualize the war and its meaning by listening to direct and soldier-like expressions from "the men who know by experience what they are talking about; men who speak their 'own language and think In their own terms, and who capture the entire sympathy of their audiences from the start. we read, but when we 6ee this headline, "Turks Take Two Islands" Off tte Coast of Asia Minor," we want to know what klnl of saw they used.

WEAR MORE CLOTHES Editor Palladium: I have been wondering why one does not advocate women wearing more clothes as a help to conserve ; fuel and food . I am not Interested tn the coal shortage, on my own account, as we use wood at cur house. .But I spent some time in public in company with women, at Red .Cross headquarters. In church and in the stores on Main street and there is a continual complaint on the part of most of the women that I meet about the heat not being sufficient. Now it seems to bo the fashion to wear waists made of the '""i ma terial oneiican buy, and the scantiest underwear it Is possible to procure, which Is bad enough In summer from a moral standpoint, but Is simply out of place In the winter; time. So It seems to mo that if the women are really sincere tn their wish to conserve the things the government asks us, we would at least be consistent If we would wear a little more and hoarier underwear. .

Doctors Are Boosting It Still the good work goes on, soon there will not be any more tired, nervous people In our city. This is caused largely by the widespread use of Phosphated Iron. ' the new tonic and nerve bracer that has sprung Into Instant - popularity witb the medical world. Phosphated Iron will help any run down, nervous condition almost immediately. It will put fresh iron in the blood, the phosphates taking bold of the nerve centers and bracing them up. You will eat better, sleep better and get up In the morning feeling like doing things; you will ' feel the oldtime vtm and snap of youth surging through your veins; you will tackle the day's work with conldence and a smile. Science has taught us that when we have enough Iron and Phosphorus in the blood and nerves we are healthy; that almost all conditions of ill health and nervousness are due to the lack of Iron or Phosphorus. Phosphated Iron rarely fails to supply the seeded amount of both. Use Phosphated Iron one week and you will forget you were ever nervous, tired out and run down, you can feel it taking hold. " Special Notice. To insure physicians and their patients receiving the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put up in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to substitute pills or tablets; insist on the genuine, in capsules only.
