ADMoN1TIoN ON TURKEYS.
Food Executive Calls Immature Kill
ing Unwise and Wasteful.

Don't kill young turkeys for the
Thanksgiving market.
This is the admonition passed out by
the United States food administration
which sees in the slaughter of imma-
ture birds serious loss to the coun-
try's meat supply.
A turkey gains comparatively slowly
in weight up to a certain point, after
which 1t develops rapidly. says the meat
expert of the administration.
Under practically all conditions.
reads statement of the administration
1T is unwise and economically waste
full to kill immature turkeys for mar
ket. Up to the point of approximate
full development, growth of turkeys is
slow. the flesh formed is lean and the
body is scrawny. Turkeys sacrificed al
or before this time present an unattrac-
tive appearance in the market and re-
tard the sale of better BIRDS"
Do not kill turkey hens under eight
pounds or toms under twelve pounds, Is

has been leased by the government to
be occupied by the war trade board, DR..
wilfred F. Buchanan, a dentist. occu-
pying quarters in the building, still re-

board, stated that he could not give i'm
mediate possession and agreed that
rental payments should accrue to the
war trade board as general lessee of
the building. W. w. Warwick, con-
trolier Of the Treasury. has decided that
rent paid by the dentist. shall be paid
into the United States Treasury as a
