Show OME MEATLESS DAY A MONTH IN FRANCE PARIS, Jan. 22, (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Ono meatless meat-less week each month during the coming com-ing spring and summer in order to couservo the cattle supply is planned by tho French government. Two moat-less moat-less days a week were tried last summer sum-mer but this plan failed as most housewives simply bought enough meat for-48 -hours and there -was no saving. The government's proposal to establish ono hundrod municipal meat markets in Paris to be managed by mobilized soldiers has had tho immediate im-mediate offect of reducing moat prices. Tho wholesale price of .mutton has ,come;tdaw3x-.ciebi.i conb&iPjDun&.and. beef five cents. Tho retailers, however, how-ever, have not reduced prices. An experimental ex-perimental market in the populous quarter of Belleville has reduced the retail price of meat 30 to 33 per cent by eliminating wholesalers and commission com-mission houses. oo |
