(By Mall.) -Now that many American cities have their own women police, It may be Interesting; 'to learn how England's women . police have devel oped Into a real force for the maintenance of order and public morality. y The forces hava been -formed CLOSE G mm mm m m . The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette Our Government needs tin for' war purposes. Thus the new "Tea-Foil" Package of Tuxedo tobacco renders a timely and a double service: it saves tin and has many advantages : - Soft and pliable. Decreases in size as tobacco is used. Tobacco does not cake in this package. No digging it out with the finger. Keeps the tobacco in perfect condition. Costs you less than tin, 10c a package. I ' Try Tuxedo in the new "Tea-Foil" Package today.

'Supply. :. ; HOW PARIS IS REGULATED Bread Shortage Affects the FrenoK More Seriously Than Any Other Meat Scarce and Costly : ' :, In Belgium. ';' '; . Paris. All but sir of the-famous St Bernard dogs kept by the monks ot that ancient monastery in the Alps have been killed. Shortage of meat caused by the war led to this mas sacre. The Bt. Bernard pass-la of historical renown. It connects the valleys of the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. It van traversed by Ilomun legions thou sands of years ago.' In medieval times the pass served the armies of conquer ors und the bands of mercenaries. Na poleon crossed the Alps at this polbt In 1800. The great monastery was built In the middle of the sixteenth' century. It. was maintained- for the Tcllef of travelers who were surprised by snow storms while-crossing the pass. The St. Bernnrd dogs were used to And the froiteo' victims of the storms In the snowdrifts. They were specially train ed for this work of relief and carried the first aid to the Injured In a little basket attached to their collars. These dogs rescued thousands. of human be lugs, many of whom were of historic prominence. And for the first time In the history of this famous monastery, the dogs had to be slaughtered for want of food. , ' ' Human' Pood First Interest. ; . At other- times a report of, this sort would create profound Interest . In Paris, but at present the hurann race is thinking of its: own necessities and cares less about dog heroes living more than 8,100 feet above the surface ot the sen.' Today the people of France are re stricted In the consumption of 'meat, hrend or any other article of food In the making of which dough or flour Is used, and sngnr. There are three meatless' days and' to prevent anyone buying meat! In advance the TUle1 re stricts purchases to 200 grams of meat oo' a any preceding" a meatless day. - . The sale ' of meat Is prohibited Wednesdays, Thursday? and Frlduys. Ill' hotels' andf restaurants no guest Is entitled t more thun 100 grams of meat as part of a meal TueMays. This icRtrlcllon Is aimed at hoarding. iTven slaughter houses are entirely closed the meatless days. Thus, the Attempt Is mndo to prevent as !ar us possible any violation of the rulcv Of course any attempt nt enforcing "estrlctlons of this sort In the prov inces would be needless. French pens outs ent little meat, once or twice a week at the most, If nt all. The average Englishman consumes much less meat. England hnd three meatless days n week, applied to res tnumntR and similar' dining rooms, be ginning In. Hie summer of 1917. How ever, those meatless dnys were abol Ifhed, the order taking effect May 17 this year. In plnce of the former re strictions a ment card was Issned. ThlB card entitled the holder to a cer tain amonnt of .meat, which he may buy four specified days In the week. Englishmen are consuming about double the amount of meat eaten by the.snmo number of Frenchmen at present. . " , French frugality In meat Is the) mora remarkable ns It. Is accompanied Ay a similar and much more drnstla restriction In the consumption of bread.. "A Frenchman," nccoHSing to a peace-time wit, "Is a gentleman who wears a decoration and orders an ex tra portion of bread."' Breod has been the staff of life of the French people. Still France Is In a better position than adjacent countrlos. Meat Is very wnrco and costly In Belgium. In Ant werp one has to pny 20' francs for a Pound of meat and 80 francs for n pound of bacon. In Meerle, near Ant werp,, a butcher paid 2,025 francs for a' two-year-old steer. Cows ore soft!1 for 5,000 and goats for S00' francs. Swiss Regulations Strict. ' At Val de Trovers, Switzerland, two butchers were found guilty of having violated the government rule regu lating the price of cnlves. The butch ers were fined 1,1100 frnncs cueh, ond Till have to pny tho cost of the trlnli while 15 farmers, to whom the butch ers had paid more than the maximum price allowed, -were acquitted by the Jury. . ' In the course of proceedings In the court It wns shown that an army of ficer of the- commlewiry department Id ! buying rntrle for the army hod also said more than the maximum price permitted. Now the state's attorney is going to prosecute the army officer for the same offence for which the two butchers were found guilty. In Vlcnnn meat ratinns for hotels, dining rooms and hoarding houses vere cut 20 per cent, beginning July I. Even meat supplies for hospitals were reduced 10 per cent. This caused Increased prices. , Clergymen In War Work. London. Four hundred nnd thlrty oven rlorcymen of the London (KnR and) dUwose have done or are dulug national work. T. M. C.
