FOOD CONTROL IN ITALY Italy's present sugar consump tion averages about 1.1 pounds per month per person, or approxi mately one-seventh the amount used in the United States. The manufacture of confection ery in Italy is illegal and a large fine is placed on the sale of candy and even powdered sugar for cakes. Supplies of eggs are limited and preference has been ordered, in their distribution, to invalids and! nursing mothers. Sales of fresh meat to the pub lic and to hotels and restaurants are prohibited on two consecutive days in the week. Dealers in foodstuffs such as vegetables and meats must display a list of their prices. Fish is being urged as a substi tute for meat and salt fish is ex-1 tensively used at the front. Feeding corn to hogs has been almost entirely prohibited. Hotels, cafes, dining cars arej specified classes of other public j eating places are required to fur- i nish the police a copy of the bill of fare every day. The most pressing shortage in Italy is coal and the next is wheat SI VENDE Un magnifico piano in legno di j rosa. Rivolgersi al N. 56 Fifth St. ! FACTS ABOUT WORLD FOOD. In Europe tines up to $5OO are levied 011 persons who throw away stale bread. The success of food conservation I in American homes depends en tirely upon voluntary action. Our Allies are dependent on us for food because the route to North America is the shortest and the safest. Scarcity of ocean-going ships makes it important for us to ex port foods of concentrated value, sneh as meats, sugar, wheat, con densed milk and fats. The success of the Allies will depend largely 011 winning the war against food waste in this country. It is now being waged in 22.000.000 American kitchens. Are you winning yours? The people of the United States consume double the amount of fat ty food needed for proper nutri tion. Our European Allies are suf fering privations from lack of suf ficient fat in their diet. The war in Europe is a great co-operative effort of democracy j to resist autocracy. Democracy must win, but it can win only if all the people help by conserving meat, wheat, sugar and fats. ENOUGH FOOD FOR ALL An important effort of the Unit ed States Food Administration is to regulate the handling of staple foods so there will be enough for all in spite of the large supplies sent abroad. Mi*. Iloovcr recently stated, "We have and will retain suffi | cient food for all our people. There is 110 economic reason why j there should be exorbitant prices. We are not in famine. It is ob vious that our people must have quantities of food and must have them at prices which they can pay from their wage." The entire question revolves up [ on the successful substitution of | foods that cannot be exported for 'those that can be readilv handled in this way and of course the sav in? of edible foods now being wasted.

If all the seeds of any one sort of plant were allowed to grow they would soon cover the earth to the exclusion of all else. A single orchid plant pro duced more than 10,000,000 seeds in a season and many common plants, as the foxglove, very nearly equal this re markable record. Costly Curiosity. A friend of ours has handed us thU interesting definition: Curiosity—Pay-i lng a thousand dollars to see your ap pendix.—New Haven Register. The First Garment.

More than 50 species and races of ground squirrels inhabit the United States and Canada. Plant* on Defensive, Though some plants assume the of fensive and catch insects for food, oth ers act on the defenalve to protect them from being used for food. This special provision accounts for the pres ence of thorns, spines, stinging hairs,! etc. Understanding. More hate would be mellowed to love by Intimate knowledge than ( would regard to disfavor.
