Commissioner Garfield acquits the Beef Trust of charging exorbitant for meat, The people are. :rhaps better juages of this than is the tigator who has been helped to his conclusion by the combine’s sys- fl of bookkeeping. There is no doubt that the Trust has charged “all the market will bear;”” and that it has been declared a “conspiracy in straint of trade,” by the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court, mich Mr. Garfield can hardly overrule, {The Meat Trust is not.one corporation, but an assoclation of several prporations and firms who fix the price to ve paid the producer and the which the consumer has to pay, and who maintain their monopoly secret contracts with the railroads, This is exactly the condition of Milk Trust, which, more openly than the Meat Trust, holds a meeting rooms in New York City on the last Wednesday of every month, and trarily fixes the price of milk, Its members, too, secure rates from the ds which no individual farmer can secure. It regulates the quantity Beam eeeee eareeeeeeeneeeos: Ing stations and the cars in which milk is shipped as thoroughly as Meat Trust controls its refrigerators and private car lines. If there is any legal distinction, the case against the Milk Trust is than against the Meat Trust, and it is a case equally demanding tention of the men charged with the duty of executing the law.

By Nixola Greeley-Smith, HE good-look- ] “if ing defend- ant in a Pending divorce } case has put In the May novel defense to her young hus- } band’s suit that she J's forty-five years old and a grand- mother, Now, when @ woman admits to i forty-five it Is usu- ally proper to raise her at least twenty {n forming an estimate of the number of candles on her birthday cake, But in this instance there is apparently no discrepancy between the lady's state- ment and her face, “Good name in man or woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls.” At least we have Shakespeare's au- thority for the bellet. But when was a woman herole enough to tell her real age even In defense of the jewel of her soul, before? To be sure there 4s no reason why o woman shouldn't tell it, If she doesn't somebody else will, and the truth from her Mps will occasionally stun the oth- ers Into silence, The other day 4 young woman of twenty-four, whose friends usually tell her that she doesn’t look within sevara} years of her age, encountered a jealous female who was given the opportunity of her life by a man who sald: “Just look at Miss Blank and then tell me how old she ts," ‘The jealous person looked with eeem- ingly careful ecrutiny into the face of |the smiling young woman and sald promptly: "Thirty," | ‘Then, as the man gasped, she turned |{0 the git “That's right, isn't 4t?” she |Inquired soberly, "No," replied the lat- jter. “You are very kind, but I cannot |decelve you, I am forty-five.’ And | thls was the knife tumed upon the wielder thereof, In this case it was not. the truth but a lle that stunned. But generally, if you tefl your real age, you are just as eafe as if you had told a le, for you won't be believed anyway. A good rule is to make up your mind what your age is and stlok to it in the face of birth certificates, family bibles or bosom friends, We have all heard the story of a sexagenarian siren of old Rome who, in Cicero's presence, blushingly admitted to twenty-five, ‘That's 0," corrobo- rated the oratar; “thal her say it for forty years, Whatever age you consider the most chanming is yours for the taking, there- fore one's for the asking, And after you have adopted it tell It everywhere to everybody, and some few may belleve [!t, Almost any age other than your jown will answer, for that seemingly, whatever it 1s, ts the one that no one will accept.
