GERMAN FOOD Ex-
PERTS AND SUPPLIES

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, July 2.-German food experts
have come to the conclusion that a
dead pig is better than live one, at
least in war times. Intimate and ex-
haustive studies of the porcuplne ap-
petite have disclosed that the pig is
mans chief competitor in consuming
valuable foodstuffs. Consequently
/. about half the pigs in Germany have
been killed.
The War Food Bureau today told a
correspondent of The Associated Press
that while the number Of swine within
the empire was diminishing. census
figures of the last quarter showed that
the nation was richer by a hundred
thousand head of cattle than 1t was on
March 1. On June / it was said there
was within Germany a total Of 81. 4O0-
600 head Of cattle while on December /,
1912, there was 21,100,0O0.
The German bureau also claims that
the killing off Of pigs has not jeop-
ardized the future resources of the
nation as piss are rapid breeders and
females have been spared to q large
extent.
Tie exports who recommended the
wholesale killing Of pigs pointed out in
their recommendation that the pig in
peace times was literally fed grains,
potatoes, cabbage and beets. which
just now form some of the principal
articles Of the German diet. The feed
ing of grains to pigs was regarded as
being especially deplorable, it being
found that in the case Of barley, for
instance, four-ffths of the nutritive
value of the grain was lost when so
expended. Barley now has been d.
verted to other consumers, where. it
is declared it will prove one hundred
per cent. efficient

TRIES SLICK GAME
Stranger Presents Fake
Order, Studies Combi-
nation on Safe

Shortly before noon last Thursday.
says the Portland Press. there ap-
peared in the reception room of one of
the local photograph establishments a
slick looking, well dressed stranger
who presented to the proprietor, a
neatly typewriter card reading about
as follows:
please deliver to the bearer, repre-
senting the Boston Daily . a print
of the picture you made of me either
last January or February. I really
cannot recall the exact date, and
greatly oblige."
The name which was signed to this
letter was in a handsome hand and 1t
was some high flown name like Car
rintgon Hastings Wallingford. The
photographer could not recall having
made any such picture as that, but
he went to his card index and began
to hunt The stranger sauntered slow
ly around the studio while this pro-
cess was going on, looking at the pic
lures on the walls, and as subsequent
developments indicated, also looking
at other things. In about Is minutes
the photographer, having looked
through all of his records and finding
rothing, called in his young lady as
sistant and she also hunted all around,
but without success. He finally told
the stranger he thought he must have
made a mistage in the gallery. that
perhaps some other photographer was
the one upon whom he should have
called, as he certainly had not made
any such picture. The stranger
apologized for his mistake, II he had
made one. and politely bowed himself
out.
Shortly afterward the young lady
went to dinner and the boss of the
place went up into his operating
room. where he remained for some lit :
tie time, leaving the reception room
unguarded. When he came back he
thought he heard a slight noise as of
someone moving about the room, and
he accordingly softened his steps and
approached noiselesSly. To his sur
prise he found man on his knees in
front of the safe, studying the com
Donation very intently. Almost invol-
unfairly he let an exclamation escape
from his lips. and Immediately the
man leaped to his feet and beat a
Easty retreat. He did not get ont so
quickly. however, but that the photo
erapher saw that 1t was the same
person who had been there short
time before sizing up the place while
pretending to secure a picture that
never was there. The photographer
ran to the front window and threw II
up, intending to note which way the
stranger ran when he went out on the
street. but he did not see him go out
Later the photogra pher made a careful
search Of the premises, but found no
traces of the stranger, and he has not
seen him since.

boxing champion of the

Tommy Connolly, formerly Of Boston.

up with the Dandy Sixth, and is
now being prepared for service at

interesting pugilistic program ahead
of him at klle Deming training camp.
Army men assure him that he will
have TO confine himself to the light

quired.

The farmer gets a smaller net

Figures which have been compiled

while the land has increased in value,
