WITH the courage of their convictions, the Commercial club of Aberdeen, Washington, has voted that in the future no veal or calve's liver shall be served in its dining room, or placed upon any of the club's menus. Recog nizing in the demand of the American people for veal, the cause for much of the diminution of the beef supply of the country, with the resulting high price of, meat generally, these business men have taken a decided stand which their fellow tradesmen over the country might well afford to copy. The cattle shortage in the United States today is estimated at 18,000,000 head. This alarming condition, at the present rate of decrease in beef herds the nation over, promises only to grow more aggravated. It is apparent the country is facing a prob lem, the solution of which prom ises to grow more aggravated. As an example, beef steers sold in Portland yesterday at $8.25 per hundred ponuds in a carload lot. The great consumption of veal,' while not the only cause for the beef shortage, is admitted to have very much to do with it. This demand seems to profit no one, to be a benefit neither to the cattle raiser, packer, retailer or consumer. It is primarily just another type of American extravagance, a wastefulness of more serious consequences than almost any other of our prodi gal habits. One of the bills that will be introduced at the next session of the legislature, and perhaps the first one, will have for its ob ject the changing of the registration laws requiring women to give their age when registering. It will be among the first bills, because the legislators will want to please the ladies, and this will do it. While mere male man takes a good deal of pleasure in poking fun at women for being touchy about their age, there is a realj reason behind it, especially with the, women who are employed in the department stores and similar work. Such wo men say that the store wants young women, and if they know a woman is above a certain age they will not employ her. If she can get employment,' she may hold it despite her age, for if she once gets employment and understands her work she will be kept. The trouble is. in getting employment in the first place. It is for this reason that many of the women object to hnving their ages known, and the reason seems to be a good one. The Rock Island railroad is certainly a slow one, if the suit filed against it has any foundation. Some Colorado stockmen allege that in 1908 they shipped 22331 lambs over the road, which were to be delivered at Stockdale, 111., and from there marketed. It is alleged that the lambs grew into sheep with a good wool crop on them, and that the railroad company made no attempt to market them, but, on the contrary, kept them, and finally sold part of them for $08,9:16, which the company kept for feeding them, and that many of the lot died, presumably of old age, while in the company's possession. The bureau of universal statistics has announced its 1912 fig ures. Among the revelations were the following: Asia's popu lation is 933,000,000; Europe's 481,000,000, Africa's 188,000, 000, America's 187,000,000 and Oceania's 57,000,000, a total of 1,819,000,000 for the world, or 110,000,000 increase in four years. The world commerce is handled in 47,714 steamships and 55,802 sailing vessels and amounts to $10,000,000,000. There are 025,000 miles of railronds. The world's national debts total is $41,900,000,000. John Lowe, accused of violating the Mann white slave traffic net, and now on trial in the United States court at Portland, is a foxy one. While he is credited with being usually one of the best dressed men in the country, so soon as he was arrested he begnn wearing workingmen's clothes, and appears at his trial poorly dressed, in order to create sympathy. This dodge on his part has been thoroughly shown up and it will probably prove a boomerang. When arrested four or five fine suits were found in his room.

Fried in deep fat, the same food ab sorbs less fat, takes on a light, delicate brown and has no burned edges. Modern domestic science teachers all advocate deep fry ing instead of pan frying.
