QATLUMBIA a- - SOTH CAROTLINA~ ALLIES DEMAND MORE CEREALi American Meat Restrictions Re iaxed to Effect Greater Wheat Savings. ARGENTINE ARRIVALS SHORI Meat Supply Here Considerably Ell larged - Food Administratior4 However, Warns Against Waste. The allies have made further aS increased demands for breadstuff these enlarged demands being cause to some degree by shortage In arrival from the Argentine. It Is, therefor( necessary for the U. S. Food Admini tration to urge a still further reductloi In the conmmption of bread and bread stufs generally if we are to meet ou e3;port necessities. The Food Admin istratlon has lsued a statement es plaining the situation in detail, partic ularly the reasons which lead It, to the purpose of centering effort foi th time being upon the cereal situatioi to relax temporarily the restrictions oi meat consumption. Experience shows, this statemen says, that the consumption of bread stuffs is intimately associated with th consumption of meat. For varlon reasons our supplies of meat for thi next two or three months are consid erably enlarged, and we can supply thi allies with all of the meat product which transportation facilities rende: possible and at the same time some what Increase our own consumption In these circumstances the Food Ad ministration considers It wise to rela: the voluntary restrictions on meat con sumption to some extent with a viev to further decreasing bread consump tion. Conservation of food must be ad lusted to meet necessities from time t( time, for neither production, nor al lied demands are constant factors. no: can any of these factors be anticipate( for long periods in advance In the dls turbed conditions In which we at pres ent live. While the world situation Ii not one that warrants any relaxatfoi in the efforts to eliminate waste or t< relax economy in food, the AdmLinIs tration desires to secure better adjust ment in food balances. So long as the present condition continue the only special restriction. we ask are the beefless and porkies! Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkiesi Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the United Statei are responding to the national call t< increase hog production. Their in crease, to all appearances, Is being at tained more rapidly. Of more imme diate Importance, however, are severa complex factors which have effecte& an Immediate increase in meat sup The transportation shortage befor' the government took over the rail roads, the bad weather In January an4 early In February, the large percent age of Immature corn in the last har vest and the necessity of feeding this corn as rapidly as possible to save I1 from decay, have not only resulted It acking up the animals-particular: hogs-on the farms for a longer pe riod of feeding, but have resulted in great Increase in their average weigh1 and will result, with Improved trans portation conditions, which already ap pear, in larger than normal arrivals al market for the next two or threi months. The weight of hogs comini to the market for the past two weeks indicates an Increase In weight oj from an average of 203 pounds las1 year to the almost unprecedentei average of 232 pounds, or a net In crease in their meat value of over lV per cent This Is a distinct additiot to the nation's meat supply. It there fore now seems certain that we havy such enlarged supplies for at leas1 smne Innths tp come, that we can nol only tncrease our exports to the allies to the full extent of their transports tion facilities, but at the same time can properly Increase our domnestit consumption. The response of the public to our re qroests for reduced consumption o: meat during the past few months has been most gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government dur tg this period to provide such sup plies as tranaportation to the allie! permitted. The A dministration also suggest: that in those parts of the countra where the old fashioned home preser ation of pork Is still the custom, thi practice should be ertended at th< present time, as it will relieve the bur den upion transportation to and frot the packing houses and is economical y smmdv as savtng the cost of packin, opm-tions and at the me time wi] pmvide home supplies of pork to las o'er the months of decreased supplli The Food Administration desires ti repeat that It does not want to gtv the impression that these are 'ine! when simplicity and moderation of 11i ug are act critically necessa.ry, be that its solo desime is to secure an ad jMmrent between our different foo< supes and meet ch?angina codition! from time to time and to keep the put ic fnUy and frankly advised of it: position with the full concdence an< reliance that whenever It becomes nec essary renewed appeals for saving WIl met the sme loyal response as in thm ~~S ESWAS UNABLE TO MOVE WITHOUT HELP Give.; Tanlac Credit for Working Great Change for Him. SPEAKS TO THE PUBLIC. Declares He Quickly Was Changed from Almost an Invalid to a Vig -*rous Man. From a condition from which hel suffered so that he had to be helped around, Ora H. Rogers, of 1009 Kos suth St., New York, was changed into a vigorous man who could walk miles without having pains. Because of this remarkable benefit, Mr. Rogers said, "I praise Tanlac above all other medicines, because," as he publicly stated, "Tanlac worked the change." Mr. Rogers' statement is so interest ing and holds such encouragement for others that it is given word for word. "I suffered from rheumatism and I pains so bad that I often had to be helped when I walked across the room," he said. "That was only a few r weeks ago, and now I can walk miles without suffering any pains. "I will say right here," he contin ued," that rheumatism and stomach trouble are the worst things a man can have. I had pains down my legs and through my body. I had to sit down for hours, but this only gave me a little relief." "I tried many medicines, but not one of them seemed to do me a parti cle of good. I kept hearing such good reports from epople of what Tanlac I was doing for others that I decided to give it a trial. The first bottle gave me some relief from thase dread ful pains in my legs and back. "As I kept on with Tanlac I began to feel like a new man. The pains passed away, I coul-! ,o anywhere I wanted, and. as I said, travel miles by myself. You can imagine how I felt to finally find a medicine with such merit as this wonderful Tanlac."
