Witmer, Bair and Witmer EGGS GO OUT BY THE MILLIONS Tremendous Reductions in the Stocks in Hand Shown by Fonst's Latest Report Over ton million dozen of eggs and four million pounds of- butter were disposed of through the cold storage warehouses of Pennsylvania during the past three months according to the reports announced to-(Jay by the Dairy and Food Bureau of the Penn sylvania Department of Agriculture. The reports of seventy cold stor age warehouses made the first of the year show that there arc but 4,242,- 523 dozen of eggs in storage com pared with 1'4,367,202 dozen on Oc tober 1. Foiir warehouses contain no foodstuff® and only thirty-nine are holding eggs in shell and 15 eggs out of shell as compared with 704,405 pounds on October 1. This is an unusually large total for this time of year. There are 6,190,938 pounds of but ter in storage as compared with 10,- 923,322 pounds three months ago. The butter holdings are about nor mal. From the storage reports there seems to be a great shortage of poul try as there are holdings of only 1,431,686 pounds as compared with 1,644,532 pounds three months ago and 4,135,311 pounds a year ago. The poultry holdings with one ex ception are lower than they have" been at any time in four years. The wonderful catch of fresh water llsh has brought about an in crease in the fish in storage to 5,- 048,653 pounds three months ago. The present ilgures establish a new record of fish holdings and has re sulted in the sale by county food ad ministrators of carloads of fresh'fish at public sale. This movement to bring the fish to the people has had the co-operation of Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust and has been a success wherever tried by the local food administrators. There are 25.- 673 pounds of game as compared with 46,384 pounds three months ago. There lias been little change In | j the storage of whole carcasses of | ir.eat except a reduction in the hold- | ings of pork. Three months ago i there were 171,268 pounds of whole j rarcasses of pork and now there are | only 6,823 pounds. A year ago i there were T22.570 pounds. There I are now 915,912 pounds of parts of carcasses of pork as compared with 11,610,502 pounds three months ago. There are now 211,936 pounds of whole carcasses of beef as compared with 612,607 pounds a year ago, but in parts of carcasses there are 2,378,- 043 pounds compared with 1,748,988! pound* a year ago and 1,596,152 pounds three months ago. The holdings of both yeal and mutton are below last year's total. An interesting feature of the report shows reed birds, black plover, red' head ducks, canvas back ducks, Eng lish pheasants, mallard ducks and ruddy ducks in small numbers in storage. I Commissioner Foust has forward ed a copy of the report to Howard i.I. Heinz, Federal Food Administra tor for Pennsylvania.

JANUARY 17, 1918 EARLY TO BED BUT LATE TO RISE IS NEW BOSTON RULE Theaters and Cafes Obey Order of Administrator to Save More Fuel Boston, Jan. 17.—Boston went to bed earlier than usual last night, slept later to*-day nnd showed general and cheerful compliance with early closing and late opening regulations, made in the hope of conserving fuel. Fuel Administrator Storrow's or der for "10 o'clock closing was more widely observed last night than on Tuesday, as the public came to realize that it was a command and not a request. Without exception curtains in the leading theaters were rung down before 10.15 o'clock, while mo tion picture houses were dark fifteen minutes earlier. The streets were more or less de serted by 11 o'clock, the closing of saloons at the same hour as picture theaters having sent the crowds home much earlier than heretofore. In cafes, which remain open all night, signs displayed at cigar coun ters announced that only food could be sold, and this applied in the early hours yesterday. Men on their way to work found cigar stores closed. Newstands and drug stores were open for the sale of drugs and news papers, but cigars and clgarets could not be obtained at any price. Barber shops also were closed until 9 o'clock. The most serious problem resulting from the new regulations has fallen upon the Boston elevated railway, which operates the subway, elevated and surface linos. The morning rush almost paralyzed the traffic yester day, and greater congestion than usual has prevailed immediately aft er the closing of stores and office buildings in tho afternoon this week.
