Present Meat Prices Shown
Extortionate.
The report made by the Department
of Agriculture on the meat aituation,
rorroborutoa tho opinion already held
by the j-enernl public as to the in
justice of meut prices.
It develops that (hive is no shortage
of meal or meat animnls in the United
.States. Thero are pin.';' of cuttle
and sheep. So far us production v, 'Ci',
beef and Iamb might ulnu. t Le culled
a drug on the market The p.irkcr
evidently regard it so, for tliey have
lowered the prices paid for livestock
about 25 per cent since last March.
This should result, of course, in li
coTiVfponding reduction to the con
sumer. There has lccn no such reduc
tion. Itetad prices do not seem to
have been lowered anywhere moro than
10 per cent. In most communities the
prices are as high as ever, and in some
cones thy have actually risen.
Whob'sulo prices have gone do .
The niickoi und cattOmen complain
that the public is not citing JTiouii
meat. How can the powic roiisumo
meat s ujual at the rati it lHto
pay? Tb:re iS,no usg urging ini-fuaito
cdmsumption unless prices drop.

Industry no less" than the welfare of
consumers who need more mnt thaii

ment recommends govuriimciit control
of the, mmt industry, and the publica
tion from day to dy of listt of fair
rtil prices, io that consumers maj
know whin thty are ling over-charg
d, and may help to regulate prices
accordingly. If there is any differ
ence of opinion as to the former sug
gution, there ran be little as to the
value of the latter.

'Iljur
Cut or a Shave?"
"Both!"
l.onr and serious articles have been
written and fine orations made on the
benefits which humanity has derived
from the wnr, and now the barber
comes along with another one "Toft-
soriul standards have been raised by
tho war," says he.
"Tonsorial standards" has a mighty
fine sound, but what he means is thai
all the 4,000,000 or so young men who
have been in training and service in
the nrn-.v learned habits of cleanliness
and neatness which they refuse to give
up ns they return to civil fife. They
cling to the clean shave and the neat
lv trimmed hair which nre a part of
every good soldier's make-up.
Moro than this, it is not just the
soldiers themselves who demand extrn
good and frequent service from the
barber; it is all tho younger and older
men us well, who wish to look as sol
diers do. So clean cheeks and well
dinned heads have become the ruling
fashion, and of all the people who
lirench of the good war has brought,
nono has a finer text nor better ex
amples to hack it than tho barber.
Cleanliness of tho body and cleanli
ness of the soul are mysteriously in
