New York Dec. 21.-"One hun

died from starvation in Tcheran.
The Persian capital has lost nearly
Ealf Of its population. People all
over Persia are falling dead from
actual starvation as fast as autumn
leaves fall from trees. Unless help

entire population will die OF cold and

of the workers for the American
Committee of Armenian and Syrian
Relief.

to relieve the situation with the

Hundreds of people are employed

EGGS FROM TABLE WASTE.

In every household, no matter how
economical the housewife, there is a
certain amount Of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding
value but which, if not fed, finds its
way into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of domes-
tic animals which is suitable for con-
verting this waste material, right
where it is produced in the city, into
wholesome and nutritious food in the
form of eggs and poultry meat. Scraps
of meat or leftover vegetables which
can not be utilized in any other way
make excellent feed. There are also
many other waste products, such as
beet tops, turnip tops, carrot tops, po
tato parings, onion tops, watermelon
and cantaloupe riHds, the outside
leaves of cabbages, waste lettuce
leaves, bread and cake crumbs, etc,
all of which are relished by the hens
and can be used to the best adVant
age.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-11-01

"Our general conclusion Is that we
would rather not attempt to cover
the men who will not get packages
from their families or friends by a
special distribution of packages col
lected by others or made up at some
central point by the Red Cross be-
cause the difficulties introduced seem
too clearly to outweigh any benefit to
the men through this special distribu-
ton.
81 should like to add one further
thought, and that is our deriser in
all that we do to make no distribu-
ton of things that is not general to
all alike and this suggestion runs
counter to this policy in a way we
believe would be somewhat serious"
