AMERICANS’ GREAT
MEAT CONSUMERS
The people of the United Stans are
* entitled to the title of "The Meat Eat
ers" At least they have earned It
through actual competition, and today
arc consuming more llesli than any other
people on earth. Whether they are proud
of it, and whether It Is going to be a
good thing for the people of the nation—
that is another angle.
The average American consumes 172
pounds of meat a year. This consists
of 80 pounds of beef, 78 pounds of pork.
7 1- pounds of veal and Gl-2 pounds of
mutton England Is our nearest com
petitor and the Englishman get along on
119 pounds of meat a year. The Her
man consumes ,113 pounds, and the
Frenchman and Belgian mi pounds each.
The Austro-Hungarians eat HI pounds,
the Russian 50 pounds and the Spaniards
49 pounds.
The value of the packing house In
dustries stand first, with the output of
the machinery shops and foundries run
ning second. The packing house prod
ucts, during the lust year figures are
j available, amounted to $1.370.Uuu,m*J while
| the value of all of the products of the
foundries and inaehlne shops Were Worth
$1,228,000,U00.
The present European war will of
! course affect the figures pertaining to
| meat eating, but it will accentuate the
difference In the amount of flesh con
sumed In this country and abroad. That
is, instead of approaching us as meat
eaters, the Europeans will fall away from
our record.—Dayton Times.
ELECTRIC MOTOR WEIGHS
FOUR OUNCES
The smallest commercial electric mo
tor is claimed to be the dental engine
of Ur. H. A. Whiteside, of New York.
It is designed for currying in the hand
in operating the drills arid others in
struments used by .dentists, anil from
a weight of fourteen ounces in inns the
tiny motor has been reduced in size to
only four ounces, with a diameter of an
inch and a quarter. It can be operated
on any direct or alternating current ol
0 to 2i>0 volts. A foot controller gives
variations, 4n running and, with no
gearing of any kind, provides four dif
ferent speeds in both forward and re
serve directions.
he advent ages are declared to be
important. The apparatus is very com
pact and inconspicuous, and is free from
the noise and vibration of cables, joints,
springs, pulleys, belts, etc. It is special
ly adapted for taking to a patient's home
or to a hospital. A carrying ease only
eleven by eight by live Inches not only
provides for engine and portable con
troller, with a cord and ping for at
taching to a lamp socket, but has space
also for Instruments, medicines. and
tooth-filling material. lCx.

REAL WAR PICTURES
SHOWN SOON
*
PARTS—Real war pictures of war. an
it really is; not the kind of fakes which
have heretofore been perpetrated upon
the public, in most instances, are soon
to be shown, according to announcement
rccentlwy made by the French war
office. For the French government
will shortly open what is to be called
a "press palace,” where pictures of actual
war scenes, taken at the front with the
troops of France by official photograph
ers, will be placed on exhibition.
And it is intimated that the French
government intends to derive a profit
from the production of the films. For.
after they nave been placed on exhibi
Lion, they will be sold to independent
Him producing companies in neutral coun
tries.
U is relieved that the pictures will
have the effect of bringing the horrors
of war home to the people who see
them more than anything else possibly
could. Recitals of incidents of the war
iiave ou l little effect, and that only
momentary in the human mind, but it
is thought that pictures of actual war
scenes will bo an education that most
people would be unable to get in any
other manner. The pictures will show
chiefly actual fighting, troops on tin*
march and hospital work.
AMERICAN GUNNER
6IVEN OVATION
- r 1
MINNEAPOLIS. — Dispatches received
lierc from Winnipeg announce the re
turn home of Lester Spalding, a young
man formerly residing in this city, but.
who went to Canada to enlist in the
Canadian contingent uf troops which
was first sent to Europe and to the great
war. Spalding received the great
est ovation ever accorded to
a returned soldier, over 7,000 residents
of Winnipeg having gathered to welcome
him when he stepped from the train tills
morning.
The chief reason why Spalding was
accorded such a welcome is that he is
the only survior of a machine gun crew
which enlisted at Winnipeg. Ilis com
rades were all killed, at the battle of
Ypres last September when the Cana
dians withstood the brunt of a German
uttack for several hours even when they
were outnumbered more than eight to
one, until reinforcements were received.
It was in that battle that the soldiors
from the western Hemisphere first dis
tinguished themselves in the eyes of their
English comrades. And for Ills part in
it Spalding was given the king's decor
ation, at the hands of no lesser per
sonage than King Oeorge of England
himself.
GERMANS MAKING
IMPROVEMENTS
RERUN — Announcement has been
made here to the effect that the Ger
man governfnont will convert the Hclghm
province of Llmberg, on tno frontier of
Holland and lying next to Germany, Into
a military center. A large number ol
factories have already been built in the
province and an aviation school estab
lished. The factories are chiefly for the
purpose of making munitions of war for
the German armies. Belgians chiefly
are employed as laborers in the fae
t orlea.
It is also stated in governmental circles
that a movement Is now on foot to pur
chase large estates in- Germany and Bel
gium nnd divide them tip into small par
cels of land for the establishment of
homes for disabled German soldiers. It
is hoped that in tins manner the sup
port of the disabled Germans will not
fall entirely upon the government, as
they will thereby be given a chance to do
something for themselves. The purchases
of the estate are to be made by the gov
ernment.
