GREAT DECREASE

The greatest decreases are under the

All prisons testify to the keenness
and aacrity with which the prisoners
have undertaken the manufacture of

various government departments for
war purposes.
Regarding juvenile crime, the Com

chief cause of the downfall of youths
over is, to be that many Of them had
been placed in positions of respons-
Utility unsuitable to their age and
when opportunity presented itself were
unable to withstand the temptation to
steal from their employers. He is also
of the opinion that owing to the
Garkened streets and less police super

for the disposal of stolen property.

A FOOD SHORTAGE

Petrograd Sept. Correspond

food shortage. 1t seems increditable
that this condition could prevail in
view of the abundant crops in the out
lying districts and the amply supply
of dairy products that the peasants
are known TO have. But it is dis
turbingly true.
There was no bread sugar or butter
to be had today in the capital. Sugar
has become a precious commodity and
is cherished like so much gold. In the
hotels they are serving jam to sweeten
the coffee. The price of meat is pro-
hibitive and the supply very low. Veal
when obtainable sells at s145 pound.
Milk cannot be had except on the pre-
scription of physician. Coffee is As

any to be had, IS of poor quality.
There is no such thing as white bread
All food is issued on a card basis
Unless the situation soon improves the
coming winter threatens to bring the
most severe privations and hardships
This situation in the Russian capital
is all the more astonishing because OF
the abundance on food of all kinds
which exists in Siberia. Crossing the
continent from Nladivostook one
passes through seeming land of
plenty. of sunshine and happiness.
Stock raising and farming are carried
on at tremendous scale Cnnum-

Orono, Me, Nov. THE following
was issued today from the office of
Charles D. Woods, director Of the
Maine agricultural experiment station
at Orono:
With increased population food ma
terials that were entirely wasted few
years ago are now in great demand.
Thirty years ago the chief use of dried
blood and meat scraps were in making
fertilizers. These. unless of very in
ferior quality, are now used for food OF
farm animals. With the increased de-
mand the prices have advanced as the
supply is limited. This has led to
search for other materials to supple
ment or replace these as food. Fish
waste or fish of any kind has always
been known TO be highly reiished by
flesh feeding animals and gives excel
lent results in growth and in egg pro-
duction. The great objection to its
use in large quantities is the tendency
to give the flesh or eggs fishy havor.
Recent Investigations have shown that
the fishy flavor is due largely to the
fish oil and that when that is quite
completely removed as is now the case
with the fish meals that are put upon
the market, the material can be used
in much larger quantities without i'm
parting a disagreeable flavor to the
product.
Fish wastes have been used in
Europe for number of years for feed
ing and recent experiments by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture show that it can be fed freely to
poultry without imparting disagree
able fishy flavor to the eggs. These
experiments have show that fish scrap
is desirable supplementary animal
food for farm animals, especially for
pigs and poultry.
Large quantities of Ash waste are
