A St. Louis wholesale fish house has worked out a plan whereby grocers w’ho w’ish to start a fresh-fish de- ' partment on a small scale, without risk of loss can have small orders delivered Friday morning to supply con--1 sinners who place orders in advance. i This fish house undertakes to make prompt deliveries of fresh goods, re- . gardless of initial costs, to give gro1 cers every advantage in building up ' fish trade on quality goods. Fifteen carloads of Satsuma oranges . were blown from the trees by a heavy . gale in Alabama recently, whereupon | tlie fruit growers and Mobile sodaI fountain men promptly organized to turn this wind-hurt fruit into orangeI ade for local soda-fountain consump- * tion. This shrewd conservation step 1 led to the shipment of samples of fruit : jjiice to manufacturers and preserv- ' ing factories in the north and east, I with a view to utilizing such waste in I future emergencies. The Board of Trade of New Port Richey, Fla., has a considerable agricultural membership and these farmer members have agreed to plant 1.000 acres of sugar cane in that locality , as a beginning in establishing a sugar cape industry. City members of this commercial body pledge themselves to I take stock in a sugar factory, and it is | expected that by next fall sugar making may be begun on a small scale, adding factory units as cane acreage ini creases. I When traveling salesmen througnout the country were asked to aid food conservation. it was found that the travelers had no official organization. Whereupon President Gilbert, of the Toy Manufacturers’ Association, under took to form an organization which would not only enable the toy salesmen to cooperate in food saving, but bring them together for general trade ' betterment. This organization now has headquarters at 28 West Twentythird street. New York City, in charge of Charles E. Graham, and salesmen 1 In that industry are invited to join.

The first thought in conserving meat at the Waldorf Hotel, New York, was to save at the origin by refusing young [ animals such as baby lamb, suckling, pigs, baby turkeys, and veal. A suck-, ling pig. says Steward Nulle, in the: Hotel Gazette, weighs about 20 pounds! and will make from 12 to 14 portions. | As many as 25 suckling pigs were use 1 weekly in normal times, and 40 babyj lambs a week. If the young pigs are allowed to grow to adult weight—2so to 500 pounds—there is an addition io the pork supply of the country of between 4 and 5 tons weekly. The food administration announces that the arsenic industry and its products have been placed under govei iment control by presidential proclamation, in order to procure for farmers an ample supply of insecticides at a fair price. Consumers are urged not. to place orders on any other basis. | and to communicate to the chemical division of the United States food ad-’ ministration. Washington, D. C„ any ( information of unreasonable prices or unwarranted attempts to force tho. placing of orders on the plea of scare- • ity of materials. Reports from 438 cold storages show ( that their rooms contain 1,662.543 cases of eggs while on December 1., 475 storages reported 2.812.711 cases. The 381 storages that reported holdings on December 15. 1917 and 1916 show a present stock of 1,587.274 cases as compared with 1,308,454 cases in 1916, an increase of 278,820 cases or 21.3 per cent. The reports show that since December 1. the December 1 holdings have decreased 28.4 pel' cent, while our last report showed that during November the November 1 holdings decreased 36.6 per cent. In 1916 the decrease from Deccifiber 1 to December 15 was 25.8 per cent, and during November the decrease was 40.5 per cent. A summary of ‘ this report was released by wire on December 26.

Wheatless Wednesday has brought a pie problem to hotels and restaurants, for, while substitute cereals can be used for bread and rolls, many cooks have found it difficult to make pie crust without wheat flour. John Illi, pastrv chef of Hotel Sherman, Chicago, after many experiments, says the Hotel Monthly, has evolved the following formula for a wheatless pie flour: Eight pounds cornstarch. 8 pounds corn flour, 6 pounds rye flour. 12 ounces sugar, 4 ounces salt, 8 pounds butter, 4 pounds lard. 3 quarts water. Butter and lard may be replaced with a vegetable shortening. Some chefs have cut down the daily consumption of wheat for pastry by serving deep-dish and open-face pies. The deep-dish pie is made without a bottom crust, and the open-face pie without top crust.
