LUXURIES OF '63 NECESSITIES ROW New York Grocer of 50 Years Ago Tells of Advance in Food Products. GOTHAM RECEIVES BEST XVople Are Learning More About Food Today and Are Getting More for Their Money Staple Goods Are Fnr Cheaper. NEW TORK, Dae. t. Just suppose that there were no canned frulta and Vegetables, no things out of their sea sons; only half a dozen kinds of bis cuits and crackers and no foreign cheese to put on them, and not an ounce of creamery butter in all this great city. Now. then, we are back in 113. when John Campbell Clark, who last week was surprised into the celebration of his half century as a grocer, began the business of purveying to the people of New York. Mr. Clark began as a delivery boy with one of the old line grocery stores, then In the newly opened.Fifth Avenue Hotel, and all these years he has been In touch with a clientele which in every generation has demanded and obtained tbe best which the markets afforded. "Did any one ever stop to think," said Mr. Clark at the establishment of (Tharles Co., of which he Is the head, "what the tables of New York would be in Winter without canned goods? When I started in this business they were Just beginning to come in. A Frenchman in Chicago had invented the process of preserving fruits and vegetables in tinned cans. Caaaea Praaact af reat aerrtee. "Canned tomatoes made their debut. There was prejudice against tomatoes as a vegetable end there were ideas about them which have since been shown to be utter nonsense. The first year we sold 500 cans of tomatoes, and that was a record. Last year this house alone sold IS carloads. BOO cases to the car. two dozen cans to the case. The canning of food has been of In estimable service to mankind. In the old days we waited for the seasons. Now the canner puts up asparagus in the Spring, then apricots, peas, straw berries, raspberries and, later In the season, peaches, plums and the like. It Is possible for man to enjoy the fruits nf the earth In their original flavor all the year. No surplus goes to waste." "By the way." continued Mr. Clark, "I am no stickler for the good old days, for I believe that the times are get tin? better and that man has more comforts as the years advance. He also is learning more about food and Is get ting better food for his money. I sup pose every other family in the United States has some kind of a cereal for breakfast. Fifty years ago such a thing was never even dreamed of, and c..tmeel was not kept In groceries, but In tlruj; stores, where it was doled out for poultices. Klari, at Cakes MoIMply. "There were about 10 varieties of cukes and biscuits sold then. Now there must be fully 500 on the market. A glance at the shelves of any well equipped grocery will tell that story. Once we carried only water crackers, lemon crackers, butler crackees and ginger snaps. Now we have so many kinds that it Is hard to count them. "There has been a big development In all dairy products in the last 60 years. How .well I remember the 'good old days' when we grocers used to go down to the foot of Franklin street In the early morning and wait for the butter barges. The principal supply for the New York market was drawn from Orange County and was brought down the Hudson by the Homer Kamsdell line. So Mr. Park and Mr. Acker and Mr. Jackson and Mr. Corwln. well known grocers of their time, would run out at the end of the pier, jump on the barges and be busy with th tast ing of butter while the barge was be ing warped into Its berth. "Thirty-eight years ago the creamer ies came into being and the farmers. Instead of making their own butter, sold their milk and cream and the re sult was butter of uniform quality and grades. The customer may now order Just what he wants by a definite name and be sure that he receives a standard article. Quality Far Better. "One of the most popular Stems in the American dietary at present is cheese. Enormous quantities of foreign cheeses are brought to this country. Whenever T hear of a new kind of cheese which seems to be good I put It out on sale. All cheese have their friends. Cheese Is a valuable digestive which the American people seem to be appreciating more and more." Air. Clark was asked what he thought of the cost of living, concerning which In these days there is so much dis cussion. "It all depends," he rejoined, "on what we are disposed to call 'living.' There are more amusements now than there were when I was a boy. and what were considered luxuries which only the wealthy could afford may be ob tained by the workingmen. It Is pos sible now for a man who works for his dally wage to have a better place to live in and better things to eat and a greater variety of them than could have been obtained in 1S6J. The aver age American lives as well as many of the titled aristocracy of Europe, and has a greater variety often on his table. Forty per cent of the wages of the people goes for food and drink, and It is well that such expenditures should have thoughtful attention. "The comforts of life are now very great. The food we have today s bet ter in quality than it was in 'S3, and prepared and packed in a more sanitary way. The city of New York is the greatest and the cheapest food market In the country. The enactment of the pure food law has increased the quality of groceries throughout the United States and has guaranteed honest weights. It remains for the people to avail themselves of their opportunities. If one pays careful attention to nutri tive values be will be surprised to find how well and how cheaply he will be aoie to supply his table. Staples Cheaper New. "I shall not refer to war prices for comparison, for there were times when sugar was 2 cents a pound. But when prices came back to normal after the Civil War we can make comparisons. Sugar Is bftlf what It was then, and ao Is flour. There have come into the market many vegetables of the highest nutritive value, auch as beans, peas and especially lentils, the worth ot which as a food few appreciate even now. wnat better food value ran be obtained. for Instance, than from Indian meal at Ji cents a pound? A family can llvt economically and well In this country. and there Is no reason why any one should buy so-called luxuries unless his purs can afford them. "Preserved and cured meats have ad vanced In price, especially pork prod ucts. Bacon, which a few years age we sold for 14 cents a pound, is now Si cents, and bam, which brsujht IT PORTLAND ABSTRACTS OF TITLE. fKOU?T SERVICE at reasonable P"1 Hsi-lflc Tltie Trust Co.. 7 Cham, ot Com.

MAN BURIED FROM BRIDGE Contractor's Ashes Scattered From Rrooklyn Span In Gale. NEW TORK, Dec. 8. An automobile hearse beloneTlneT to the Frank E. Campbell Company, driven by Super intendent Frye. who had on the seat with him Joseph ilcGowan. an assist ant started across Brooklyn bridge at sundown. Half way between the towers the car stopped and McGowan got out. In his hand he carried an urn. He walked to the side of the roadway and scattered the contents of the vessel to the winds. It was blowing- sharply at the time and the ashes soon disap peared. He had just finished when bridge policeman came along- and wanted to know why he was violating; a police rule by stopping; a trehlcle on the structure. "I'm burylns a man." replied Mc Oowan. The policeman wanted to know what he meant, so the nndertaker told him that a contractor who died a short time aco stipulated In his will that his body should be burned and the ashes "scattered to the four winds of heaven from the Brooklyn bridge at sundown." At Campbell's office last night the man In charga said that he wasn't at liberty to rive the name of the con tractor, but that Charles W. PresljT was what he mtfrht be called, though It wasn't his name. MISS WILSON PRESIDES School Bills and Swimming Pools for Capital Considered. WASHIN'GTOX. Dec .
