A committee Of the Royal Statisti- cal society of Great Britain has re- gently been engaged in Investigating the production and consumption of meat and dairy products in that country, and while they find that there has been increased production, yet it has not been on scale propor- tional with the in population, says an submitted at a recent meeting of the society, the average consumption per head in Great Britain was, of meat, 121.S pounds; of milk, 15 gallons; of cheese, 10.5 pounds, and of butter, 1855 pounds. The amount of meat included 56.S pounds of beef and veal; 27.5 pounds of mutton and lamb, and 36.S pounds of bacon and pork. In addition, the British people consume extensive quantities of poultry, game, rabbits, etc, which are not included in the above summary. The average of 15 gallons of milk does not include separated or skim milk or condensed milk, both of which are consumed to an appreciable degree. In comparison with the continental countries. Eng land consumes much more meat, but considerably less than the United States and Australia. The United States is the best fed land in the world, and whatever theorists may say about little eating, and how often point to the success of the Japs who are small feeders, yet when history is overhauled it will be found that all conquering nations not only fought with short swords, but were good trencher men.

A writer who is in favor of govern ment rife shooting has this to say in favor of his scheme and at the same time gives the Kansas rife team dig in the ribs for its poor showing in the recent national contest: sShould there arise call for troops for service K in war, the American army would be composed of men less expert than the Kansas rife team. Suppose they were pttted against one of the nations which has prepared its men by long practice in the use of the modern rife. Suppose the armies approach to e1- gage in battle. When one thousand yards apart the army of experts begin to make bulIseyes in American sol diers. The Americans will be hunt ing their targets like Kansans at q rifle match. The combat would be short and the Americans would be wiped off the topography of the seat of war before getting close enough to charge. The man who can get the first hit will be the winner. It would look to be on the part of prudence and patriotism to prepare the average American with the skill to use the modern weapons effectively at the ranges for which they were intended
 As well be armed withea fAnsket as with high power rife which he can not use above the musket's range"

It was the argument of the fathers of protection that when defense against foreign competition had en- abled the infant industry to grow up and attain strength, domestic compe- tition would bring cost and prices down so that protection would be no longer needed. Now, when an indus try has become aagfanr, it uses this defense agafnsf f5fefgind c6n6betftion as a shield behind which combina- tions are formed to throttle domestic competition and keep prices up, al- though cost has come down even be- low the foreign level, says the New York Journal of Commerce. This en- ables the trust to organize with enormously inflated capital upon which profits may be distributed to dominate the market, and force com petitors into pools, forai maintaining prices, and to sell at profit in other countries at prices far below those charged at home. This kind of trust, of which we have more than one fla grant example, is the direct progeny of the tariff, and it is futile to attempt to deprive it of the power 1t abuses by other expedients so long as the source of its giant strength is left untouched and it is permitted to levy an enor- nous tax upon the consumers of the country for payment of interest and dividends upon capital inflated to two or three times the values invested. It is precisely here the effect of excess. i've protection is most easily traced and most clearly discerned, and it is precisely here that the remedy for the most serious of trust evils can be most effectually applied.
