Mr. Snyder was called to the tele* phone the other afternoon and quesj tloned by an agitated woman who ? sought to know the proper food for a i turtle.

HOGS TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE I Municipal Piggery Declared Equally mm I Sanitary and More Profitable Than I Garbage Reduction Plant. B When food le In such present and | prospective demand as It now Is. waste I should be kept down to the irreducible i minimum and unpreventable food I waste utilized to the maximum. Do 1 Koaf In ftwwl nuvlriff nrhfln ] populations pass Immense volumes of^ waste food materials to the garbage can every day. The hog volunteers to utilize muni- ^ clpal food wastes In the quickest, simplest, cheapest and most profitable manner, or If preferred he will submit to selective draft or Indiscriminate conscription. A ready market offers $16 per hundredweight for the end product. The hog is not a very sentimental animal, but there has been no end of sentiment against utilizing him for garbage disposal. Quite aside from war emergencies. It Is high time that this kind of sentiment gave way to common sense and scientific knowledge, says the Engineering News Itecord. If a modicum of the scientific knowledge required to design, build and operate a garhuge-reduction plant were devoted to a municipal piggery, the sanitary results would be at least cquully good, while It Is possible that the profits per ton of garbuge would be considerably higher. For years past the garbage of many American cities hus been successfully fed to hogs. The practice would have been adopted In many other cities and continued where abandoned, had It not been for zealous hut Ignorant opposition on the ground that the practice Is unsanitary.?Engineering News Record. *' j - - ' i MAKE HUGE PROFIT IN GOING 1 I Two Men Who Bought Old Collection Expect to Realize More Than $50,000 on Deal. Two San Francisco business men who bought a collection of 2,000 old coins from the Society of California IMoueers for $8,000 and recently sold two of these for $10,000, with the expectation of realizing approximately \ $50,000 more on the remainder, hare created something of a Honsatlon among the pioneers as a result of the speculation. The Pioneer society had for years kept Its coin collection In glass cases In the United States mint here, where thousands of persons had viewed It. Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department wanted more room in the building and ordered the collection taken out. I It was explained at the office of the society that It was deemed best to sell jT the collection for $8,000 rather than move It Into their building with watchman, Insurance and other expenses. Grim Humor of the Front. v/uee uiu-r mi auucK un(l a Hllgni advance of the French many German dead were left on the field. Among these was a large, fat, red-haired Ger- v man who had fallen on a hit of rising ground In a good place for observation," says Ernest Pelxotto In "Scrlbner's." "It occurred to the colonel that n French observer might be useful at this point. The camoufleurs therefore made a most beautiful, fat, red-haired German corpse?I know you are too good an artist to see any contradiction of terms here?and that night they cruwled out with It to where the fat German lay. They threw a rope around the dead man, dragged him away, and left him behind a pllo of rocks, and they then placed the French observer in his place with a rope attached, so that they could pull him back." In Memory of a Japanese Prince. Most of the distinguished men of Japan, without regard to party affiliations, have undertaken to raise a fund for the erection of a handsome statue to the memory of the late Marshal Prince Oyama, commander-hero of the Manchurlan campaign In the ItussoJ a panose war. The sculptor selected Is Taketaro Hhinkul of Tokyo, and the statue will stand on one of Mi?? sites In the capital?the compound of the war office. The enterprise Is headed by Marshal Prince Yninngntn.
