FOOD ADMINISTRATION FUTURE PreptrxH by Federal Food Administration for Gtorgii The United States Food Administration makes the following state ment: "There is no truth in the statement that the Food Administration is to be transferred to the Department of Agriculture, nor has any bill been drafted by the Executive Departments to that end. The Food Ad ministration will last by law until legal peace is declared by the Pres ident. It will then automatically dissolve except as to obligations en tered upon, and these must and will be discharged, either by the Food Administration er by assigning them to other departments of the gov ernment. In the meantime the Food Administration does not intend to relax its efforts in any direction. The Food Adminietraticn itself considers that the law as at present framed is purely a war measure, and that its major provisions have no place in the country except to serve war ends. Whatever Congress may decide as to continuation after peace of any of the measures now in force must be a matter of special legislation and the particular depart ment that is to continue then will, no doubt, be determined at that time. The Food Administration, in its function of feeding people abroad, has a larger burden after armistice than before, and this bur den will continue until next harvest. There will be plenty of time be tween armistice and peace to determine upon any detailed method of liquidation of the war agencies of the government and what measures must be continued through the reconstruction period.” The World And Sugar The world’s household sugar ration, as compiled by the Food Administration, presents some interesting figures and shows that the United States has at the present time the largest individ ual ration, three pounds for each per son per month (four pounds per per son for December alone), while Italy with seven-tenths of a pound per per son iper month has the smallest. In the United States the price is ten and one-half cents per pound, while in Spain the price ranges from twenty one to twenty-six cents per pound; in Austria it is twenty-one to fifty-four and six-tenths, and in Turkey from $1.77 to $5.05 per pound. In Germany, the ration ranges be tween one and four-tenths to one and six-tenths pounds per person per month, with an average cost to the consumer of seven to eight cents per pound. This low selling price is due to the fact that Germany produces its own sugar crop, and the strict regula tions of the disbursements per capita has enabled the Food Controller to so regulate the sugar supply as to make it possible to utilize a great portion of the production, for the extraction of fats, of which Germany is in great need. The household sugar ration and re tail prices in various countries at the latest date available follows: Pounds Retail per price Country: month cents per per person pound United States .3 10.5 Allies: England. . .2 14.1 France . . .1.1 18.4 to 19.3 Italy 7 19.9 to 35.4 Canada . . .2 11.2 Neutrals: Norway . . .2.2 13.3 Holland . . .2.2 12.9 Switzerland .1.1 15 Argentina . 16.2 Spain. . . . 21 to 26 Sweden . . .2.5 12 to 14 Centra!

Decartler, the Belgian Minister, stated today that while under the terms of the President’s basis of peace Germany must pay for the reconstruc tion of Belgium, there will, however, be an interregnum before collections can be made from Germany, wherein not only must the Belgian people be Notice ot Election.

Davis, Clerk and Sheriff respectively. In pursuance of an order granted by the Governor of said State, ORDERED : That an election be he'd m said county of Mont gomery on Monday the 28d day of December, 1918, for the purpose of electing successors to till the uuexpired terms oT M.

More over, the whole population is under nourished and must have enlarged food supplies instantly in order to en able them to go to work. The President’s direction to Mr. Hoover that he «hould enlarge the ac tivities of the Commission for Relief in Belgium to embrace the relation of the United States to this recon struction program and that he should handle all matters In connection with this American relationship is a mat ter of the most intense satisfaction to every Belgian. The enlarged shipments of food al ready started to Belgium to meet the present emergency, the large orders just being given for cloth, the great response of the American people to Mr. Hoover’s appeal through the Red Cross for second hand clothing and the measures under consideration for prompt amelioration in other direc tions are all in line with the marvel ous activity of the Commission throughout the whole of the last four years. I do not forget that the Commis sion for Relief in Belgium was form ed under Mr. Hoover’s direction on the twenty-sixth of October, 1914, and that the first cargoes of food to starv ing Brussels arrived through the Ger man lines and in the city of Brussels on the second day of November. That Mr. Hoover and his associates in the Commission for Relief in Bel gium and in the Food Administration are to have charge of this enlarged interest of the American people in Belgium will give a feeling of abso lute confidence to the whole of our people and this evidence of America’s continued solicitude will be an encour agement and stimulation to my people second only to their actual liberation from German oppression. The English and French govern ments have already evidenced their solicitude in this matter, and their willingness to co-operate and give sup port to Belgium in her task of reha bilitation. It must always be born in mind that over four million of our seven million people are destitute and are today subsisting in soup lines; that except for the garments provided through the Relief Commission, ihey have had no textiles for over four years; that the whole clock of indus try has been stopped and that the Germans have carted away to Ger many all the machinery which they did not destroy In Belgium. They destroyed our railways, our mines and our canals. Never before has a country been reduced to such a plight as ours today and never has a country had such friends. We have won the war. We must now bend every effort to restore our country and prepare it for its glorious future. Third Hounds of T. C.

C. — (Special.) —Ac- cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epi demic of influenza in Spain lias al ready caused an Increase In the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar association be tween influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News holme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, In hla analysis of the tuberculosis death ruto in England. In order that the people of the Unit ed States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United Stutes Pub lic Health Service Ims just issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe cial precautions at the present time. “Experience seems to Indicate,” says the Surgeon General, “that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are pecullui' ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with Influenza this country now of fers conditions favoring the spread ot tuberculosis.” One Million Consumptives In the United States. “Then you consider this a serious menace?” was asked. “In my opinion It is, though 1 hasten to udd It is dis tinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United Stales. There is unfortunately no complete census nvallnhlo to show ex actly the number of tuberculosis per sons In each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting lias been In force for many yours, over 85,000 cases of tu berculosis are registered with the De partment of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the ad dition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number neurer 50,000. The very careful health sur vey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Muss., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would indicate that about one In every hundred per sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes n source of danger to be guarded aguinst.” What to Do. In bis statement to the public Sur goon General Blue points out bow those who huve bad Influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo sis. “All who have recovered from In fluenza,” says the Surgeon General, “should have their lungs carefully ex a mined by a competent physician. In fact, it is desirable to have several ex aminations made A month apurt. Such examinations cannot he made through the clothing nor can they be carried out In two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuber culosis every effort should be made to keep them so. This can he done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air.” Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe cially against certain danger signs, such as “decline” and “colds which hang on.” These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not get well promptly, If your cold seeing to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber culosis is curable in the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber culosis. “Above all do not trust In the mis leading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuber culosis. The money spent on stub medicines Is thrown away; Jt should be spent instead for good food and de cent living.” Lost Cow.
