Commercial Supply Of Fats
Z and Oils Other Than Retail
Stocks in u. S. July I, 1918

Stocks of fats and oils In commercial
channels, other than retail stocks, as
reported to the United States depart
ment of agriculture in the comprehen.
sive food survey for July !, 1913, were
as follows: Lard, 1868. 1872 pounds;
lard compounds (including substitutes
other than purely vegetable substi-
tutes), 5O,41O, $50 pounds; solid vege-.
table cooking fats, 42;636,551 pounds |;
cleo stock, cleo oil and edible tall0w,
3O,77O,747 pounds; cottonseed oil, H.
71S,674 gallons; olive oil, 9O1, 1915 gall
Ions; peanut oil, 4,839,931 gallons;
corn oil, 1891 .457 gallons. III. =
The figures given above include
stocks actually reported as on hand by
manufacturers, storage houses and
wholesale dealers, and also quantities
reported as in transit from these
stores. The stocks of retail dealers,
as reported for July 1, 1918, are not in.
Guided, since these reports are still in
process of being tabulated., In a SINH
lar survey made by the department for
January 1, 1913, the retail stocks con-
stituted the following percentages OF
the total commercial stocks Of the
commodities here considered: Lard,
20.5 per. cent; lard compounds, $50
per cent; solid vegetable cooking fats
$50 per cent; oleo stock, cleo oil and
edible tallow, % per cent; cottonseed
oil, rs per cent; olive oil, 44.S per
cent; peanut oil, 4.8 per cent.
In the case of lard and lard COM
pounds, the stocks reported as on hand
on July 1, 1913, were slightly less than
the corresponding stocks for July !,
1917, the percentages being 1853 and
9S.4. respectively. The holdings OF
cleo stock, cleo oil and edible tallow
were 87.8 per cent of those reported a
year earlier. The greatest decrease is
noted In the case of olive oil, where the
holdings on July 1, 1913, were only
1858 per cent of the holdings for July
1, 1917. In the case of the four re-
naming commodities, the stocks re-
ported represent an increase over the
corresponding stocks of year earlier.
the percentage Of increase being al
follows: Solid vegetable cooking fats
.14.5 Der cent; cottonseed oil, 81 per
cent; peanut oil, 1913 per cent; corn
oil, $3.50 per cent.

New Faces, Including Cheeks,
Noses, Lips, Jaws, Provided
In Great Hospitals of Paris

Some miracles of modern surgery
are being performed at hospital In
Paris. The surgeons here. writes a
correspondent, have become sculptors
in human flesh. They reconstruct a
man who otherwise would have to go
through life hideously ugly, but who is
able to leave the hospital practically a
normal man. A man whose face had
been blown away by shell has new
nose and lips grown for him new chins
are no longer q matter of comment.
The simplest method Is that of re-
moving scar. An incision Is made
and the arteries bound up then piece
Of skin Is cut from another part of
the body and the surgeons scissors clip
1t to the desired shape, and very speed
lily the scar disappears. =
To construct nose piece OF gr1S-
tie is removed from the region OF the
ribs and PUT out to nurse" as the
surgeon describes 1t, under the skin OF
the forehead. The gristle continues to
live, and when all is ready the sur
geon removes it and the protective skin
and skillfully manipulates knife and
scissors until q new nose Is put In Its
place. The lower portion Of the organ
is sewn to the upper lip and skin re-
moved from the thigh is used to cover
up the scar on the forehead.
A man who could not eat because he
had no lower jaw was given a new
one constructed from his hip bone.
New lips are provided with flesh re-
moved from the neck; broken bones IN
the Uranium are removed and fresh
bones put in their, place and kept there
by few metal supports. A soldier
who had lost his upper. jaw, lips,
cheeks, palate, nose and mouth came
to hospital to ask for new face be-
cause he wished to visit his mother.
He was Accommodated, with new cheeks
and Nps, and in a comparatively short
time he had the rest of his new face.

Beef scraps or some other animal
protein feed has been shown by
number of experiments to be essential
to good and economical egg produc-
ton, especially during winter. In
the Is months preceding January, 1915
the price of meat or beef scrap has
Increased 100 per cent, while. In some
places, 1t has been difficult to secure
It at all, making 1t advisable to use
something in place of this feed. To
find satisfactory substitutes was the
object Of experiments conducted by
the poultry specialists of the depart
ment. Rations for laying hens con-
tanning peanut meal, soy.bean meal
and yelvet-bean meal have been used
with good results since the first OF
November on the government poultry
farm. =
Half Of the beef scrap normally fed
IN the mash has been replaced by these
feeds, making the ration as follows:
"A scratch mixture Of two parts crack
ed corn and one part oats, ana
"a mash of nine parts cornmeal'
Eve parts middlings, four parts bran,
two parts beef scrap, and two parts
Of either peanut meal, soy.bean NEAL
or velvet-vetch meal. All OF these
parts are by weight. A similar ra-
ton containing cottonseed meal has
been fed with good results for over
one year. The percentage Of protein
In these feeds was as follows: Beer
scrap, SO to IS; soy-bean meal, a;
cottonseed meal, IS; peanut meal, ~;
and velvet-bean meal, 10.
The egg yield for the first three
months has been fairly good with all
OF these feeds, but not quite as good
a has been secured from the use OF
normal amount of beef scrap. The
highest egg yield was secured from
the peanut meal; nearly as good re-
suits from the soy-bean meal. but only
. fair egg yield from the velvet-bean
meal. It would appear that all OF
these feeds are worthy of trial, used
With beef scrap, In sections where
they are easily secured. These tests
win have to be carried through con-
Lderable period Of time to accurately
determine the relative value of these
feeds. r.- s...s

Cleveland Street Man Tapped
 Pipes and Helped Himself

Upon conviction of the charge of defrauding the New Britain Gas Light company by connecting with a gas pipe and taking gas without the knowledge of the company, Joseph Sara was fined $50 in police court this morning. Judge James T. MeskiI was on the bench and the casee was prosecuted by Attorney G. w. Klett Attorney P. F. McDonough was coun- sel for the accused. Edward Pitney an employee of the gas company, sail he visited Sarra's place at 73 Cleve- land street on August 23. He was stopped in the kitchen by a girl, who told him to wait the woman was doing something downstairs. When he went downstairs he noted the odOr of gas, but did not observe any unus- ual connections. On September he again went to the house and this time he found a connection had been made with pipes that had supplied a meter that had been removed. He identified the fittings shown in court Steve Goodrich gave corroborative testimony and Detective Sergeant Richardson said that Sarra admitted he had used gas for about three weeks. Manager Hodge of the gas company said that Sara did not haze permission to make this connection
 Sarra has been in. this country 20 years, but insisted on talking through arf interpreter He admitted he made the connection, but claimed he thought he was connecting with a pipe that had formerly suplied a chicken incu4 bator and which was set ahead of the meter. Attorney McDonough made a. plea for his client, claiming there was no intent to commit a fraud
 A neighborhood scrap on Grove street Saturday night has involved some of the principals in a lot of trouble. Adam Stavinski and Mrs. Rosie Ptetras were before court today charged with assaulting Veroica Droe- sel, Mrs. DroeseI was unable to be present because of the beating she re- ceived. The case was adjourned until Friday under a bond of $100. Stavins5i will probably face the federal authori- ties for evading the draft. It is alleged that he was placed in Class on the representation that the woman and her three children vera dependents of his. Tie couple are not married. His statux in the draft is being investigat- ed today.
 While the foregoing trouble was talk ing place John Jebloski and John Krystopia, and wife were spectators. Jebloski is sa@d to have declared that he wanted a fight of his own and, turning about, assaulted Mrs. Krysto~ pia. He loosened @ couple of her teeth. Krystopia went to his wife's assistance and he was hit. Jebloski claimed the woman stuck him first He was fined $15 for assault.
