FRANGE PUTS DOWN Food Sitlmflon Requires Extra Sacrilices by People (Correspondence of The Asso, Press.) Paris, May 31.—The food question in France is regarded as very seriaus. All the measures thus far taken have failed to assure positively the re- quired ‘supply of bread to carry the country over to the next wheat crop, and the government has just decided in a special cabinet meeting to re- quire important sacrifices, .. No.more . pastry and no more crackers or biscuits will be made, ex- cept for the army, after a date still to be fixed. No more highly refined flour will be tolerated. Every miller will be obliged to leave a . greater percentage of ‘bran in his output, and eventually ‘cora meal, rye or barley may be mixed with the wheat flour to uk. out the supply. The experiences of the past year in France have shown the impossibility of influencing economic conditions by decree. The maximum selling price of wheat was fixed at a price equiva- lent ‘to ‘§1.85 a bushel, in order to avold an increase in the cost of bread. The result 'was a'great de- crease in wheat acreage; the farmers preferred to sow oats and barley that were not subject to any limitations and brought better prices than wheat, ! . The retail price of butter on the Paris markét was fixed at the equiva- fent of 68 cents a pound. Immediate- 1y the receipts fell from forty-two tons to less than nine tons a day. The butter went to the British front where it readily brought 80 cents a pound. The new Minister of Subsistence,.] Maurice Volllette, removed the limi- tation and more butter arrived, but the price went up to a dollar a pound at retail, Most persons interested in the ques- tion ,among them such writers as Senator Henry Cheron, formerly Under. Secretary of War, now are of the opinion that neither prices nor supplies can' be- affected by decrees; that it is entirely a question of pro- duction and ‘economy aver which the intermediaries can have only a passing ‘control. ' This geems to be -the con- clusion M. Voillette has reached in his short experience in power, According to a ‘story, M, Volllettd found a high pile of papers on his desy when he took charge of the: difficult task of regulating the con of living. 3 b ‘“What are all these documenu?” he inquired. “Those,” replied his chief of staff, “are the uhanswered questions that Yyau, put your predecessor in the Cham| g - From all qunrters come demands , | for & .cessation of ‘questions, debates Bnd ‘cfoss purpose action, and for & +-0f . effort. upon pro- meflon The wheat crop of 1917, according to estimates gathered by Senator !

Dr. Farrand was for ten years executive secretary of the National Association for the. Study. and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis. “The; Fench death rate from tuber- culosis is, roughl twice that of .America three times that of {ingland,” said Dr. Farfand. “Normally France has a high death rate and with the increase in tuberculosis brought about by the it is evigent that some- thing must be done and without delay. “It iy estimated, say the reports to the Rockefeller Foundation, that in the three yearz of the war 150,000 soldiers have been discharged from the French army because of active tuberculosis. Nor is this condition confined to the army. Refugees from the occupied districts of Northern France. are breaking down in large numbers and the French prisoners returned from Germany indicate a high percentage in that group. “Since the war began a special commission has been created to care for tuberculosis soldiers. This work is of the greatest importance and must go on. It is doubtful, however, if at the end of this year there will be more than ten or twelve thousand beds avallable for tuberculosis pa- tients in the whole of France and these will be o -lnly by soldier.. ““A conservative estimate would in- dicate that there are 500,000 cakes of tuberculosis in the country. It - pled almost exclu- ug that whatever preventative “{'measures can be laid down and fol- higher and this rise in prices will y Every Man Will Be Interested In A $6.00 TROUSERS F RE Because it offers an opportunity to fill out a much needed want in the clothes closets of possibly nine men out of every ten who will read this.

The extension of infectious Jis- eases in' one land ip these days is a menace to all. 8o you see while we shall be fighting the battle against tuberculosis on the first line there in France, we shall .really be fighting America’s battle as well.” “The fundamental idea behind the Rockefeller Foundatidn in going into this work is not one ,of relief, it is a wish simply to ¢o-operate to the extent of its power with France in \working out a system Yor the pre- vention of tuberculosis and the de- velopment of sound = public health | meadures in general. We are going to France simply to place at her dis- such ex- in the posal, so far as We may, perience as we have had United States.” Bxperience, Dr. Farrand sald. hak shown that the great public problem ease to those not yet affected. “In the development of the campaign,” he added, “increasing stress has come : to be laid upon the dispensary and the visiting nurse because through those agencies we are able to reach the homes ahd carry information and education to the families which most need it. Along with this concrete work must go a comprehensive scheme of general public education. |- Then' with -adequate hospital and sanatorium equipment of a commu- nity or a country may confidently ex- pect ‘to reduce the death rate with reasonable rapidity.
