DOES THIS HIT YOU?

An interesting and complete analy-
sis Of the food waste problem has been
made by Lucius P. Brown, of the Blu
reau Of Food and Drugs, New York
City. His chart follows food from the
farm to the kitchen. Below are some
Of the causes of waste cited by Mr..
Brown that will interest the individual
citizen.
Kitchen waste comes from:
I. Unbalanced ration.
2. Letting good food 60 into the
garbage pals and sinks.
g. Poor facilities for and ignorance
in handling food.
4. Poor cooking.
s. Too much variety in dishes.
G. Influence of custom.
7. High retail delivery cost.
g. Unnecessary credits.
8. Failure to buy home packed
goods of equal quality.
All of these causes do not neces-
sarily apply to any one family but the
list is means by which housekeepers
may widen their conservation efforts.

HAS WAR PUZZLE

Bangor, Me-, April 19.-According to
reports received in Bangor, there is a
war mystery at Mattawamkeag. 1t has
to do with the sudden appearance of
some rifles in the shed of John r. Es-

April IS, Mr.. Estes went to a shed
near his house and found therein three
Canadian rifles. The shed has never
been locked and there were no guns
in it on Thursday. The rifles had the
appearance of having been used. No
one has appeared to claim them, and
no one has been found who saw any
body go into the shed other than the
family residing there.
Mattawamkeag is on the main line
of railroad connection from the west
ern CanadaS to the east, the Canadian
Pacific tracks passing through the
town. which is an important junction
point with the Maine Central railroad.
The rifles are being held for time in
the hope that some clue may be secur-
cd to the identity of those who placed
them in the shed.
