As a general rule there is nothing serious about a loss of appetite, and if you skip a meal or only eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time corns. Bear in mind that at least five hours should always elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period of rest before a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a reasonable amount of outdoor ex ercise every day, you will not needs to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by con stipation as is often the case, that should be corrected at once. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it. Recommend Sale of Hoarded Food. Washington, July 25.-Immediate sale of the $120,000,000 surplus stock of foodstuffs held by the war department under a plan which will "insure opportunity for th e people of the United States to buy" was rec ommended to-day by the ten republi can members of the house war inves tigating committee. The five demo cratic committeemen withheld de cision, pending a review of evidence taken by a sub-committee,. "The inactivity of the government in the indisposition of these food sup plies was, and is, the result of a well defined policy of the secretary of war to withhold them from the domes tic market and to protect the inter ests from which these products had been purchased," said the subcom mittee, report drafted by Represen tative Reavis, Nebraska and Mac Gregor, New York, republicans. Chairman Graham, of the full com mittee, was instructed to ask for a special rule on a resolution calling upon the war department to sell the goods. Efforts wdl be made to bring the resolutions before the house next Monday, Graham announced. The report criticised on what it de clared the department's "non-activ ities of food supplies now held in storage" and asserted that six months elapsed before any surplus stock was declared while "in the meantime the food was deteriorating and becoming of less value and the high cost of liv ing continued." The report also expressed "the sub committee's disfavor of a policy of export," and recommended that "plans be devised by the secretary of war through the war department for the early disposition of all surplus fod production on the domestic mar ket." The report estimated that on July 8, last, the value of surplus food stored in the United State over and above the needs of the army was as follows: Corn beef, $24,000,000; bacon, $23,000,000; hash corn beef, $10,000 000; roast beef, $20,000,000; fresh frozen meats and poultry, $20,000, 000; canned vegetables, $23,000,000.
