Without Waste

Just a little less butter
and fewer dried foods will
do much to make happier
the lives of those who arc
sacrificing so much "over

The food supply of the
world is short and getting
shorter. If you cat more
than you really need, you
are taking that much
away from men women
and children who arc
barely existing.
Besides, what you do
eat will cost you more as
supplies decrease. YOU

DEATH OF FRED HAIsTENs
At HIS HOME IN ATLANTA

Mrs. Will C. Wright received a
telegram last night conveying sad in
tnIligence of the death of her nephew
Fred Haistens, at the home of his
parents in Atlanta during the after
noon. Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Haistens,
parents of the dead boy, resided in
Americas during many years, the lat
ter before her marriage being Miss
Marie Jossey of this city, and they
have the sympathy of many friends
in their bereavement. The dead boy
was about six years of age and death
was due to scarlet fever. The fun
eral arrangements had not been com
pleted this morning, but it is thought
the remains will be brought here for
funeral and interment.

KILLING OF Hens
And PULLETS GOES
in EFFECT TODAY

The order from the Food Admins
tration forbidding the killing of hens
goes into effect today and must be
obeyed by poultry dealers until May
l. 1t is hoped in this way to increase
the nations stock of eggs by 5,000,OO0
dozen.
No special provision is offered to
the rooster nor to chickens which
have not yet reached the egg laying
stage. These are left to-s,1ift for
themselves in a manner that is likely
tc cause great deal of trouble be-
fore barnyard exemption boards.
Another dark side of the picture
this painted by persons who are inter
ested in the poultry business-is that
the persons who have been eating
hens will turn their attention to beef,
and the increased demand for that
commodity will force up the price.
Poultry dealers have two weeks in
which to dispose of stocks on hand.

NUNNERY BLAZE

MONTREAL, Feb. 15.-With forty
one charred bodies of babies recovered
from ruins of the west wing of the
Grey nunnery which was swept by fire
last night, workmen today searched
for other possible victims. Officials
are unable to give the exact number
missing, and it is estimated the prob
able loss of life will total from fifty
tt one hundred. The fire was caused
by defective wiring
More bodies recovered this morning
raised the death toll to figty-two. Near
ly one thousand crippled men, women,
wounded soldiers and young babies
were enabled to escape through the
valiant efforts of the nuns.

CASTLE
IS KILLED AT
AVIATION CAMP

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 15.-Ver-
non Castle, the famous dancing mas
ter, was killed today while flying at
Benbrooke. He was student in the
United States aviation corps training
here.
Castle was a member of the English
flying corps, and was flying with an
American cadet when the machine
swerved beyond control, and he was
unable to right it. The cadet was
uninjured but Castle was killed in
stantly. He had made more than a
hundred and fifty flights over the
German lines along the Flanders front
and was the hero of many exploits
in the war zone. He had received the
Cross of War for valorous action.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BILL WILL PASS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 15.--
EARLY passage of the daylight saving
bill seems assured now, as it has been
recommended by the house committee
on interstate commerce. The senate
passed practically the same last July.
1t was shown by convincing EVIL
dence that the benefits of the measure
will be the following:
lit will save 100000 tons of coal
every year.
2-The saving in gas and electricity
bills each year in the United States
will be 40 cents per capita, or $40,-
100000.
st will stimulate an increased
production of foodstuffs by giving
suburban gardeners an extra hour of
light for their work.
At will permit the exchanges of
New York and London to be open
simultaneously each day for one hour
during the warm months. Under the
present conditions London closes just
as New York opens.
Sit will reduce the annual casu-
alties from street and highway traffic
accidents
6-It will conserve and improve
public health and morals by giving
more daylight hours for both work
and recreation.
Tt will speed up the general
movement of freight by giving an ex-
ira daylight hour for overtime work
81 the docks and freight terminals.
Sit will stimulate healthy in
terest in all forms of outdoor sport.
especially baseball, and will enable
baseball games to be held at later
hour.
9-It will be of especial interest to
women in industry, as it will enable
them to stop work at the time of day
when their nervous strain is the
greatest.
10-It will place America in line
with practice which, since the be-
ginning of the war. has been adopted
by all of the European countries.

people of the state fully into his
confidence as federal food admins
traitor for the state, on material in
formation which has been gathered by
himself pertaining to Georgia, and by
the United States food administrator
on the worldwide food situation
Commissioner of Agriculture J. j.
Brown, who has lately been making a
close canvass of the acreage condi-
tions in the state, and particularly
of farm labor conditions, will pre-
sent a plain word picture of just
what has been ofund to exist in that
respect. n
From the several commercial organ
izations the financial interests and the
mercantile interests. there ar eto be
five-minute talks, out of which it is
expected to evolve the definite under
standing that every tillable foot Of
Georgia land will be put to seed at
once and made to yield to the state the
necessaries that not only Georgians
but the people of other states must
have as abundantly as they can be
produced.
The urgency of conditions and the
need for attending the Macon meeting
has been clearly presented in the fore
going call. Shat ready response which
the people of Georgia have given to
the war call in every other respect
will, it is assumed by those who are
calling the meeting, send to Macon

A Pie IN TOWN
STRONGLY URGED
PROFESSOR FROM STATE COL
LEGE OF AGRICULTURE Is NOW
HERE ADVOCATING RAISING OF
SWINE in CITY.
BY PROF. MARTINI

State College of Agriculture Expert.
Due to the shortage of hogs in the
United States, the animal husbandry
department of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture has been consid'
ering means and methods whereby
Georgia folks can be assured of plen-
ty of pork to eat in the future.
One of the methods is the keeping
Of a pig in town. 1t is true, the av-
erage town grown pig will cost q
trife more to grow than the average
farm pig, but the advantages are two
fold. /. He will use all the table
scraps; (2). The local butcher mar
kets will be assured of plenty of pork
for local use.
Some people have the idea that to
keep hogs in town is quite an un-
sanitary thing. The hog Is just as
clean an animal as he is given the
chance to be. A few minutes once or
twice a week with the hose and
water, and perhaps little disinfec-
,tant sprayed about, can work won
ders.
Again the thing that has made the
town pig repulsive is the fact that they
are generally fed on swill or slops,
containing everything from paper to
tin cans; more specifically speaking,
things the hog does not like, leaves,
and is then thrown out around the
pen, causing terrible odor. This can
be eliminated by throwing thed 1sh
water down the sink, leaving out the
coffee grounds, for these may kill a
hog. In other words, if you wish to
feed scraps from the table, use more
care and time in cleaning the plates
and give tn epig something that is
nalatable, for unless you do, the pig
never will grow much, nor do we'll
The largest hotels in this country
hire people to grade the scraps that
are left from the table and kitchen,
and these are then sold, according to
their food value. There is no reason
why town folks who have a vacant
lot or two should not have pig; the
mig will help keep down the grass and
weeds.
Remember it is not the pigs fault
because of the usual unsanitary con-
ditions found in town, but the fault OF
an ignorant human being. For such
people as these city ordinances must
be made forcing them to keep clean
yards and pens.
The need of the town pig has not
been felt in South Georgia as yet, but
if iss ure to come, and come all OF
a sudden. This is not so much OF a
dollar and cents proposition as one
which will assure the people of
Americus meat in the future crisis
which is sure to come, if these trou-
bled times do not stop.
