MADSON, ODEGARD & GO, One-Price Glothiers | RETAILERS DENY CUT IN PRICES Think Packers Would Curry Favor With Public. SAY THEY ARE HELPLESS Assert Shopmen Are Completely at the Mercy of the Beef Trust and Have No Faith in Recent Published Interviews—Dr. Wiley, Government Food Expert, Declares So Called Lower Prices Are Merely a Trick of the Interests. Chicago, Nov. 18.—“All this talk of reduced prices for meats has no foun- dation in fact. The big packers, alarmed by impending federal prose- cutions, are trying to curry favor with the public and to make the retailer the goat in the whole affair.” This is the explanation of the Unit- ed Master Butchers of Chicago of the interviews recently given out by J. Ogden Armour and other “beef bar- ons,” in which the assertion was made that meat prices were on the toboggan and that the consumer would soon find it cheaper to eat porterhouse steak than to go hungry. “If we can be assured by the pack- ers,” said the master butchers, as- sembled in regular meeting, “not in newspaper interviews, but by signed contracts, that they will reduce the price of meats to a certain amount and keep them reduced for, say, three months, we will be glad to make cor- responding reductions to our custom- ers.” There is no doubt the retail butch- ers of Chicago are angry. At the meet- ing tales of alleged impositions by the packers were frequent. Say They Are Helpless. “We are helpless,” said Vice Presi- dent Edward Levy of the butchers. “We don’t make big profits. They say: ‘Why you pay 12% cents for lamb and charge 25 cents.’ “But what do we charge 25 cents for? For six pounds of chops that come out of a forty-pound lamb. All the other cuts are lower and if we make 50 cents on a lamb that costs $5 we are lucky. You must remember that the packers make their own terms when they sell to us. We pay 12% cents per pound not only for the al- most unsalable flanks and for the worthless plucks, the liver, lungs and heart. And lots of times'we get stuck worse than that.” . The butchers are unanimous in say- ing that meat prices are appreciably lower than they were at this time last year, but object to the packers giving out the idea that heavy price cuts are to be expected either at once or in the near future. TRICK OF THE INTERESTS Dr. Wiley’s Opinion of Much Her- alded Lower Food Prices. Washington, Nov. 18.—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart- ment of agriculture, has blanketed all enthusiasm over the lower food prices by announcing that it was merely a trick of the “special interests” to get a better hold on the market. “The interests which manipulated ihe prices,” he said, “have temporar- ily released their hold on our throats for the purpose of getting a fresher grip. The so called reduction in meate is fictitious. It is merely a de- ilberate manipulation of the market. The prices were fictitious when they reached the top notch, but they were arbitrarily forced to that high level by the interests. “The reduction is not a reduction in fact. “If there is a reduction at this par- ticular time it is far from bsing per- manent. The interests which con- trolled the market a year- ago and forced prices of meat up to an abnor- mal level are still in control. It is impossible to believe they have sud- denly become philanthropic and .de- cided to give the people a square deal.” NEW REPUBLIC DENOUNCED Catholic Convention Condemns Gov- ernment of Portugal. New Orleans, Nov. 18.—Principal among the resolutions adopted at the concluding session here of the annual convention of the American Federa- tion of Catholic Societies was' one of bitter denunciation ‘of the administra- tive officers of the new republic of Portugal and of commendation:.of the state department at Washington for delaying recognition of the new gov- ernment. Horror was expressed at the “bar barous inception” of -the new-republic, President Braga ,and his, associates were scored for their alleged persecu- tion of Catholics, their harsh-and in- sulting treatment of muns: and monks. Infant Dies of Burns. La Moure, N.. D, Nov. 18.—Fire starting in the Jenson apartment above a restaurant here caused the death of the one-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.” Ralph Jenson. ‘Chijldren playing in the rooms are supposed to have set the fire. The baby’s screams brought help, but she was so badly burned that she died in a few hours. - = R e L — s His Sarcastic Friend. 5 He was very proud of his new auto- mobile—talked autowmobile, dreamed au- tomobile, read automobile. Finally to his friends he became a nuisance, and each to himself swore softly that he would bide his time and at the prop- er moment give him a little verbal thrust. Finally one long suffering individual was asked to go for a ride. Excuses were of no avail. He was bundled into the machine and taken for a spin through the parks and over the boule- vards. In due course of time. without any serious mishap, they pulled up at the Automobile club. The auto crank and his guest were soon surrounded by several of their friends. “How did you enjoy your ride?” was asked of the auto crank’s friend. “Until today I .never thought an automobile could go so fast.’” was his reply. (Here the auto crank was all attention. That was some praise for his car. Right out in public too. That would silence some of the scoffers who said his machine should be called Snail) “Why, do you know there was a car went by us at such a clip that I could hardly see it.” The auto crank glared, and under his gaze the group melted away. They had had their revenge.—Pittsburg Gazette- Times. Juvenile Suicides. “A generation ago the taking of their own lives by minors was almost an un- heard of occurrence.” said a physician. “Now it is becoming alarmingly fre- quent not only in this country. but in Europe. In most cases the phepome- non can be set down to the artificial life people lead and to the complex conditions of modern existence. Very often parents are too ambitious for their children and by constant appeals to them so work on the nervous tem- peraments of their offspring as to bring on a derangement of the mental faculties. One of the most noted spe- cialists of France. Dr. Berillon, who bhas made a study of the matter, as- serts that children who have a suicidal tendency ave for the most part want- ing in the sense of smell. He makes recommendation that all who suffer frow this defect should be taken to an expert for examination, as it might tend to forestall some future tragedy. —Baltimore American. The First Automobilist. Nicholas Joseph €Cugnot was the first automobilist. Many years before Ste- phenson had introduced his railway locomotive Cugnot. who was a mili- tary engineer. had made a locomotive for roads. His locomotive has been piously preserved at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. Cugnot died in 1804. His lot was not that of many geniuses. He did not die in want. Na- poleon had secured him a pension of 1.000 francs—passing rich on $200 a vear. In this respect the premier con- sul showed more enlightenment than he did in regard to IFulton of steamboat fame, whom he considered—it is dis- tressing to write—an adventurer. Cug- not's carriage was built to transport arms and he had designed a service gun. These achievements atone would be a passport to Napoleon’s favor.— London Globe. His Luxurious Pillow. “When sleeping cars first came in,” said a railroad man, “the bedclothes in the berths were very scanty. On one of these early cars one night after everybody had turned in and the lights were low a loud voice called from an upper berth: ** ‘Porter, got a corkscrew?" “The porter came hurrying down the aisle. “‘Boss.” he said in a scandalized tone, ‘we don't allow no drinkin’ in the berths. It's against the rules,’ *‘Oh, it ain’t that, porter, the voice answered. ‘I just want to dig out a pillow that’s sort of worked its way into my ear.”” The Persian Crow’s Beak. There is a weapon known as the crow’s beak which was formerly much in use among men of rank in-Persia and north India. It was a horseman’s weapon and consisted of a broad curved dagger blade fixed at right angles to a.shaft, pickax fashion. The shaft incloses a dagger. unscrewing at the butt end. This concealed dagger i1s a very common feature of Indian arms and especially of the battleaxes of Persia. Her Question Answered. Yes. Geraldine, we quite agree with you that the crunching of celery is a noise abhorrent to the sensitive soul. A much better way is to cut the stalks into medium sized pieces and . hold them in the mouth until they dissolve. Write: again, Geraldine.

Mrs. ' Newlywed—Oh, darling doesn’t that make you proud? Mr.. N. —Why 'should it? ' Mrs. N.—Why,.just to think that our baby is the smartest and prettiest of 50,000.000.—Cleveland Leader.
