Whale Flesh or Beef?

Whale meat at from three to six
cents a pound is to be the solution OF
the meat trust question, according tc
some Newfoundland spectators who
are seeking to make market for
whale meat
1t is declared that the flesh Is finer
favored than beef more nearly sug
costing venison, and is capable of be
ing prepared in variety of ways.
Whales are not to be found in this
part of the globe In sufficient mum.
hers to make serious inroad into
the sale of beef, but it is declared by
the promoters that they have already
built up a successful trade in whale
meat with the West Indies, and that
they shortly intend placing 1t upon the
London market.
1t is to be shipped in special steam
crs. and even at price of six cents a
pound will return a handsome profit
while the cheaper cuts may be re.
tailed for half that sum.

Profits of the Packers,

There has been a great zeal OF dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent on the volume Of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how.
ever, that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on
smaller margin Of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of ST. flour and grst
mills in Illinois, In the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume of business The gross margin or
fifty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments IN Illinois
was only about One-third as large, or a
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business.
The milers have not been accused
of being in Il trust" and comhina-
tons would seem impossible In Il bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade. but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits OF
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
squcal and no wool"

Why She Preferred Viru,nia.

William Waugh Smith, Chancellor OF
the Randolph-Macon system Of educa'
tional institutions through the Vir-
ginias, tells an amusing happening
which befell him In earies days when
he was one of the engineering party
which ran through the new State line
between Virginia and South Carolina.
They had reached place where the
division would evidently cross a little
form presided over by not unattrac-
tive widow, but when they took lunch
con at her hospitable table they had
not yet decided whether the house
itself would be in the one State or the
other-and that was a question In
which their hostess showed the keen
est interest.
But at supper time, when again the
surveyors and their assistants were
the lady's guests, DR., Smith was able
to say: Madame, very little of your
place Is In South Carolina. The home
itself Is we'll into Virginia"
With glad cry she caught his hand,
and as she shook it again and again,
she exclaimed: "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm
so glad! I've always hearn tell it was
so unhealthy daown in Carolina"

Why, when buying a book, are we in.
fuenced by the authors nance Why by
an artlst's II we purchase n plctmeT
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
reliable name on nearly everything they
purchase!
1t is because the name attached is the
safeguard of the buyer = protection
against the palming off of inferior articles.
This name guarantee we all look Tor III
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food?
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying OF things to eat and drink. and no.
body realizes it more than the upto date
grocer, who caters to the wants OF his GUS
toners.
For instance, every rca! grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity of
LION COFFEE, the leader of all package
cotfees. He knows that It's uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over
quarter Of a century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
cheeriully when asked for it. He knows
that the people accept the package as
guarantee of the contents.
Yet there may be a few groaers left who
do not recognize that the buyer-not the
seller-has the right of choice, and they
may want to sell their loose coffee (who
knows what it is, or whore it came from y
instead OF LION COFFEE, which the Gus.
toner asks for, and the merits of which
both know.
In such cases the wisest advice is:

Fools All the Doctors.

There is hale and hearty looking
old chap walking about town. re-
marked New York physician lately,
who for years has had a compiled
ton of diseases which make him most
interesting to the profession. The
ailments of which he shows undenia-
bic symptoms are rarely seen in com
bination and the state of his inner
workings Is matter for speculation
among the doctors who have examined
him.
The old fellow himself loves to tell
that when he first asked medical ad,

stefan, famous practitioner in those
days, wrote across the diagnosis he
had put down on paper: This man

many years and the dying patient still
smiles cheerfully and seeks cure for
his malady. Queer, isn't IT."

NyorLe tiny Potato Cropa.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University In his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile of the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
railroad works for the interest OF
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely In Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land The competition Of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
nut of the truck farms Of Michigan.
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought tremendous yield OF
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted OH the farms 70 help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates OH
potatoes to every readable market,
even carrying them In large quantities
to place so remote as Boston. Inc
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
rrice on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose Of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced Its
already low rate, which it did. BY
means of these low rates, making pos
siblc low prices, the potato crops OF
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement OF all potatoes at al
times. to all places. they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
bur it enabled the Aroostook FARMERS
to market their crop and thereby 10
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
