where animals were slaughtered for food was made in England in the time of Richard II. In 1888 parlia. ment legislated against the casting of offal and other refuse of slaugh. tered animals into rivers and other waters. Then a long break in at. tempt at looking after the public health in the way of meat inspection, and the last century was marked by vigorous effort in this direction. During this period a national system of municipal slaughter houses was established in France and Germany. and in Great Britain the subject was widely discussed. and local instances of public ownership. To Napoleon belongs no small credit for the public sbattoir.

Iak- ing that fact away from geometry and applying prac ticay to dry goods we find that straight purchasing that is direct buying from original first sources brings the shortest prices between maker and consumer To demonstrate the proposition further and clearer we shall use hosiery as an example.
 We do not buy from the jobber Because whyf Because the obber in turn must buy from the importer who in turn must buy from the manufacturers It is the roundabout crooked way tedious and costly. having two unnecessary profits attached to it.
 But we DO buy from FIRST HANDS-the manu lecturers themselVes-thereby eliminating all useless prots-saving the expenses of handling and rehandlng
 getting the hosiery in straight direct bee line. And so follows as the day the night that hosiery is BOUND to be CHEAPER in price. The fact is illus traed very forcbly by this silk hose at SIPS Others ask $1.75, Because why? Because they buy it in roundabout way-payng three profits and adding one of their They cannot get it that way and sell for less than $l.75.
