This allowance takes an accounting of
all the available wheat In the country
until the next harvest.

WANTON WASTE MAY '
LOSE THE WAR
Food Administration Office Says
Connecticut Homes Are
Hurting Cause.

Hartford. - Letters received from
Connecticut soldiers now fighting In
France frequently contain such pas
sage as, 'They don't seem TO have any
too much to eat over here" In dis
cussing the food situation In France
and Italy one of the officials of the
Federal Food Administration for Com
necticut recently exclaimed:
II simply can't understand why SO
many careless people and wantonI
MASTERS In this and other states will
not stop to consider what their failure
to conserve and to follow the Food Adj
ministration's suggestions may mean
to this country. Can't they under
stand that the United States and the
Allies are at the height of titanic
contest on the result OF which depends
the very existence OF this country, the
very existence of business here In.
Connecticut and the very existence OF
our own honest
Wheat Wantonly Wasted.
AT the very moment when garbage
pals containing portions Of loaves Of
wheat bread and large chunks OF meat
are being removed from some Conneo-
ticut homes II is by no means improba-
BILE that boy from that very home or
perhaps from the next house would APP
preciate those very foodstuffs, wheat
and meat. There is no doubt but that
the French and Italian civilian popula-I
ton are in actual want FOR such things
as are thoughtlessly wasted and thrown
away in this country. Men, OF course,
are necessary TO win the war, and the
greater thousands will decide the Is
sue, but IL will be the thousands who
are fed and whose supplies continue to
reach them from the rear" ..s.

FILL ALL REFRIGERATOR CARS.

Hartford.-The Federal Food Adj
ministration for Connecticut Is calling
attention to the advice Il has given to-
all shippers Of eggs that they load re-
frigerator ears to the maximum So far
as Is consonant with safe carriage. the
carload minimum being 24.000 pounds.
As to report IN circulation that re-
frigerntor cars are plentiful. the Food
Administration points out that the
heavy production of pcrishahles will
create an unusual demand for refrlger-,
ator cars, which I'm all eases should be
loaded by the shippers as heavily as
possible without serious risk 10 the
contents.

Against Prohibition

WASHINGTON, June. 25 (By Asso-

tion cannot afford to conduct expert
ments at this time, Chairman Hurley
OF the shipping board today opposed
absolute prohibition before the senate
agricultural committee. Chairman
Hurley declared that the chief labor
difficulties of shipbuilding occurred in
dry" territory. Secretary Daniels of
the navy appeared before the COM
mittee and advocated prohibition. He
said that a dry" condition increased
the efficiency of the navy. President
Gompers OF the American Federation
OF Labor, also appeared, and said that
organized labor was overwhelmingly
opposed to absolute prohibition and
TO bring up the question at this time
would throw the apple OF discord

the present war disclaimed, and the
responsibility of the present conflict
placed primarily upon Russia, by For

any responsible man, not even the en-

the imperial government, ever for
moment believed that they could win
domination over Europe by starting

EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND

$50 GIGS LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, Juns 25.-Thirty.
three billions of cigarettes, about $50
for every man, woman or child, was
part OF the supply available for the
American smoker last year, accord
ing to estimates OF the bureau Of cen
sus.
This does not include the cigaret
tcs rolled by the smoker from loose
tobacco. concerning which the bureau
of census has no data. An official
report OF the bureau says:
"On the basis OF revenue stamp
sales, the number of cigars and cigar
cites manufactured during 1917 in
registered factories under the juris.
diction of the commissioner of inter
nal revenue are estimated at 1850.

The increase in the production of
cigarettes in registered factories dur.
ing recent years Is striking one,
amounting TO no less than 25O per
per cent, for the six year period, 1911.
1917; and when tho production in
bonded manufacturing warehouses in
1917. for which no data are yet OBJ
taInablc, Is taken into account. It is
probable that the total will reach, or
closely approximate, forty billions.
According to the latest annual rc.
port of the commissioner OF internal
revenue, there were manufactured
during the year 1910, in factories un.
