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

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.
Dolly Dillon.
Dolly Dillon, denouncing dawdlers,
disdained dashing Dlek Dereritt, deb
onair dancer. Dick, despairing, defied
decorum, dug ditches daily, duly dem
onstrating devotion. Dolly, delighted,
discarded derision, discontinued dis
paragements. Dick's diamond deco
rates Dolly's dainty digit.—Christian
Register.
Plants Are Prollflo.
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.
Come to think of it, Eve must have
worn a coat of tan even before the
apple episode.—New Haven Register.
Ground Squirrels.
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. A smatter
ing information Is a treacherous pos
session. All It requires to effect
better relations between nations as
well as individuals is knowledge, and
more knowledge.
Lost Motion.
'Tve climbed these stairs six times
to see you, sir," said the bill collector.
"Too bad, too bad," murmured Mr,
Jobbles. "Now, what do you think of
that, sir?" "Um. Well, I guess that
comes under the head of lost motion." j Casa Stabilita nel 1895 PROVATE I L'Olio Marca "La Siciliana" ili
