BEEF STEW NOW A HIT.
Raise i'm Price of Meats Makes
American Dish More Popular.

Vegetarianism is becoming more popu-
lar than ever before. And at the same
time the price of meat is soaring higher
and higher every day. This has brought
about the demand for more vegetables.
Within the last few days the wholesale
price Of meats has advanced from 1 to 2
cents on a 25-cent purchase, and even
more. Consequently, the retail meat deal

According TO representatives of the
packing houses in Washington, the prices
of beef have gone up on account Of the
scarcity Of cattle on the markets in the
Western cities. Another version OF the
raise is attributed to a fight that has
been going on for some time between the
cattle buyers and the commission men
who represent the cattle shippers.

One Of the surest indications OF the
widespread prosperity of the United
States Is to be found in the unheard-of
increase in our real estate values. More
fortunes are being made out Of land in
this country than were ever made In
seeking gold. Some twenty years ago
land-bOOming was a favorite diversion Of
the get-rich-quick gentry. Prices Of real
estate in Western States, both city and
farm. went up 10 fabulous figures. Then
the bottom dropped out. and the investors
were left flattened out under a heavy load
OF mortgages. Now. strange as 1t may
seem, the land values in those same boom
districts have increased until they are
higher than the highest point reached
during the boom and nobody thinks there
is anything unusual about IT,
How individual fortunes have been
made. or how particular investments have
panned out, Is the burden Of the stories
one hears among the business men Of
every American city. In Seattle they tell
OF a newspaper man who came out West
with a little hand-press and a big ambi-
tlon. He started small paper and took
almost any kind of advertisements he
could get. One advertiser ran up a bin of
several hundred dollars before the news
paper man found out he couldn't pay.
There was much wrangling, but finally
settlement was effected by the newspaper
man giving the delinquent advertiser $40
cash in hand and a receipt for the debt,
and the editor took a deed to some sub
merged tide-lands II was family joke
for years, how the father had been
worked, not only for the advertising BILL
but for $3.50 in cash Recently that same
