The Centre Reporter S—————— CENTRE HALL, PA. VEAL AND BEEF SHORTAGE. To remove veal from the menus was advocated at a recent con- vention of western hotel men in Kan- sas City as one remedy for the pres- ent beef shortage in the United States. A beef steer {8 but a grownup calf, of course. The latter, dressed and ready for the market, weighs perhaps 80 pounds. Permit it to grow to matur- ity, thus becoming beef, and it weighs 700 pounds or more when dressed. It is putting the case roughly and per haps inaccurately, but ig sub stantial truth in the statement that the slaughter of every calf not only shortens the visible supply of cattle by one, but is a net loss of more than 6C9 pounds of food. The loss would be the more readily endured, perhaps, were veal a really wholesome article of diet. 1It is tender and tasteful to be sure, and much sought after by many, but indigestible and little food value. There is hardly a ques- tion that the health of the people would be distrinctly better were this meat absolutely banished from the na- tional dietary. But the main con- sideration supporting such a step is that a cessation of the demand for veal might definitely stimulate the growing of cattle in every agricultural community. The farmer, encouraged to raise his calves, would provide him- self with facilities to do so, just as in the days before the cattle business was monopolized by the western ranchmen, says the Newark News. The cattle raising industry would be distributed throughout the country. there of entire The general belief that Friday day of 111 luck had its origin in the tory of Christ, the taking place on that day Friday, however, by many has been held to be a lucky day, as in Scotland it a f: day for weddings Friday h & peculiarly lucky tory of America August 3, 1492, that Colum on his voyage of day, October 12, land; Friday, he reached voyage: Frida: reached the Some that day in Bu Hill, nxer surrendered is a his- crucifixion avorite been the his a8 It was on Friday, bus set other at seasons ict that deposits tions, terest by institu- ferald here says the Ney York | Idle money is in excess: unwholesome ulation and fos be the maripulation of ks is th by tered, an moved d to or bi countr; New York bs: ®t a oy it aw fre ¥ banks recall t} Anke ay the sg it wiho are There- the bor. using upon enforce by rowers, sometimes cumu den by aft accompan a recommendation tv stop the payment of Interest on the deposits il of this ac lation withd and its sud- rawal ittees 1a8s been denounced ¥ l comm of the clearing house every panic in last fed ‘he 50 years, with ita e of out-of-town banks.
