NATION WARNED
MEATLESS DAYS
MAY BE RESUMED
Unless Economy Is Rigidly
Practiced Food Administra
tion Will Take Action
Washington. D. C.. May 3.—The
i* Food Administration sounds the
warning that unless there is a more
fy rigid economy In the domestic con
f sumption of meat It may be neces
sary to restore meatless days to the
p- menu.
According to Food Administration
officials, the seasonal decline in the
ket is now in progress. This flow
is expected to gradually decline dur
ing the next few months, and it is
desired that the domestic consump
tion be curtailed in order to strike
u balance.
The shipments abroad to the
American forces in France and to
the allies are growing steadily larger
and have now reached 75,000,000
m pounds of meat and meat products
P per week. This is in sharp contrast
to the pre-war normal exports of
less than l r >,000,000 pounds of meat.
Allies Reduce Consumption
Even with these heavy shipments,
the allies have found It necessary to
reduce the consumption of all kinds
of meats and poultry to an average
of one and one-fourth pounds per
week per person. The reduction in
-■meat situation was especially mark
ed in France, where the civil popula
tion is not only limited to three
meatless days each week, but has
. only a scanty bread ration. Meat
less days were resorted to in France
because it was not desired to ab
. sorb more ships for meat shipments
from the UiTited States at a time
when the ships are badly needed to
move troops.
The per capita meat consumption
In the United States is about three
and one-fourth pounds per week and
this gives latitude for a general re
duction without any hardship being
worked on any class.
The Food Administration hopes
to avoid meatless days, and urges
that the civil population aid by in
creasing the use of meat substitutes.

"My Dear Mrs. Huber:
"X received the helmet and wrist
lets O. K. and am taking this op
portunity to write and thank you
for them. They certainly are a very
useful present, especially in the sort
of weather we have been having this
winter. We are out of the trenches
in rest billets just lat present, and
the weather Is beautiful and warm,
but thsere have been times during the
last few weeks when I have been
standing guard at night, looking
over the parapet toward the Boche
lines and wishing, between shivers,
that I had a few extra woolens to
help keep the cold out. It is quite
a comfort to know that the folks at
home are behind us. In spite of the
fact there are quite a number of
young men over there who would
look better in uniform. We have
Just come in from a fifteen-mile hike
and It is getting late, so I will have
to close now, thanking you again for
your gift. Very sincerely,
"WiUjer A. Gruver.
