We saw a few mad people one
day last week, caused from the fact
that they were without their daily al
lowance of fresh beef, for the reason
that their butchers had disposed of all
the beef to passing steamer, thus
leaving their regular home customers
to do without. While not wishing to
dictate to our butchers to whom and
how they shall dispose of their meat,
we would suggest that the home Gus
toners, who deal with them the year
through, should have their wants sup
piled first.
