HEAVY ADVANCE IN
PRICE Of FLOUR

The Iong-sunFcring housewives of this
doubtless will he delighted to learn
that another raid on their pOcketbOOls
has been made and that they must pay
higher prices for -four, the most neces-
sary of staples in all well-Ordered
households. The zniIIers have announced
TO the retail grOcers that higher prices
shall go into effect at once and the gro
GERS have been obliged to advance the
price to consumers. Commencing to-
morrow, flfty-pOund sacks of -four will
cost S1.4O at retail, instead of $1.25 as
heretofore.
In explanation of the advance. the
-four millers point TO the incr eased cost
of production and the steady advance
in the price of wheat, due to the un-
usually heavy demands made upon this
coast for -four and grain for export.
The scarcity of high grade wheat suit
able for grinding into flour for family
use the increased expense of operation
and delivery and the woful lack of
transportation facilities are factors in
the advance. The millers in Oregon
and Washington are overwhelmed with
orders from the Orient, particularly
from the famine districts in North
China, and shipments of both the raw
grain and the finished product of the
mills are being diverted from this city
to quarters of the globe where the de-
mand is considered to be more urgent.
The local interests say that, even when
-four can be procured in the north 1t
is extremely difficult TO bring it to San
Francisco, owing to the shortage Of
cars and lack of freight space on the
coastwise steamships.
The movement toward increased cost
is not merely local, but is of world
wide Importance. Throughout the
country the mills are turning out more
flour than they have in many years
past, but they also are selling it with
out difficulty, there being a brisk eX
port demand on the Atlantic seaboard
as well as on the Pacific Slope.
A meeting of the Associated Retail
Grocers of this city was held on Friday
evening to consider the demand of the
-four millers. After mature deliberation
the members decided that conditions
justified the action of the millers in
raising prices and a corresponding in
crease in the cost to consumers was
agreed upon.
Following closely upon the announce
ment of the advance In -four comes the
news that the prices of butter and eggs
at retail have reached figures unprece-
dented in this market at this time of
the year There is a scarcity of these
two staples and for some unaccountable
reason supplies are not coming in as
fast as they should. The two-pound
square of butter is selling at close to
ST. and posted dealers express the be-
lief that the price will go above that
figure before long. So it would seem
that. with the cost of various commodi-
ties steadily climbing upward. house
keepers will find well-stocked pantry
expensive ere long.

A London writer exclaims at think
ing there is really nothing to account
for the extraordinarily critical mood
which the modern child has developed
in regard to toyland." The modern
child will simply not make believe.

sticklers for the correct thing" and

car, the cut of a dolls frock or the mys-
teries the eye does not usually see are
not Just like" the real thing there is
trouble. 1t is said that toymakers have
even now to employ scientific experts

ASIA ron THE AsIATIcs

The migration of Japanese to Korea
is said to be going on at the rate of
1000 or $500 a month. The islanders
who cross the strait to the peninsula
are men of the kind who would be
most useful to Japan in case of trouble
with the Koreans. They are making
their impress, deep and strong, upon
the less advanced and feebler people
among whom they live. Meanwhile the
Japanese projects which deal with the
fortification of strategic garrison
points in Korea and the gridironing
of the country with railroads and mil
itary highways go forward steadily.
Every such extension of Japanese
power and sovereignty means another
step toward the time when Japan will
be prepared to announce and enforce,
as to Eastern Asia, a sort of new Mon
roe doctrine---Asia for the Asiatics.-

DAY oF rHE sTRoNG Man

Throughout a century and quarter
the tendency Of the nations of the
world has been toward diffusion of the
governmental powers. For the first
time evidence of a reactionary dis
position to trust all to the one strong
man appears In nearly all the larger
nations at the same time. We see no
more than curious coincidence in the
unhappiness of these present days in
all the parliaments OF man. Democ-
racy is not dying anywhere The only
moral to be drawn is the happy one
that individualism Is not moribund
either. The nations know and trust
their strongest sons. There is no man

ed to little men because his head is
high above the crowd.-New York

DANGEROUS TO WE'D FOREIGNERS

Ine Ofl1cers OF the Brll1Sn ana Amer
ican mission homes in Paris, founded
by Miss Ada Leigh, cite a peculiarly
pathetic case from Pittsburg to show
the hardships that may be inflicted on
American girls who marry foreigners.
The daughter of a former professor
in a college In Pittsburg was married
when only Is years old to a Frenchman
of good family. After the birth of chill
dren the husband went back to France
where, their marriage being unrecog-
nized, the wife had no claim upon him.
The husband and father for time sent
her $3.50 a week, but some months
ago this pittance ceased, and she is now
in London trying to support herself
and children by running boarding
house
Her mother is dead and her father
has been superannuated on a small
pension. He is unable to help her, as
he has another daughter depending
upon him who is partially paralyzed
The victim of this particular idiosyn-
Grassy of international marriage laws is
now only %. The increasing frequency
OF similar cases in which English girls
apparently legally married find that the
marriage does not hold good in their
husbands country is being considered

A FEW RECIPES

Cidar Apple JeIly.-With cider fresh
from the press, try making cider apple
jelly. Wash and wipe rather tart, fine
favored apples; quarter and put in pre-
serving kettle with sweet cider to
nearly cover. Cook gently until the
apples are soft; then strain and mea-
sure the juice. There should be about
half as much cider as fruit. Allow for
each pint of juice a pound of sugar.
Heat the sugar in the oven and cook
the Juice twenty minutes. Turn in the
sugar. and as soon as dissolved remove
the spoon. Cook five minutes longer;
then pour into hot, sterilized glasses
and seal when cold.
Old Fashioned Cider Apple Sauce
Take one gallon sweet fresh cider,
and boil down to two quarts. Have
ready a half bushel sweet apples peeled
cored and CHARTERED. Put the boiled
cider in a porcelain kettle. add as many
apples as 1t will hold without crowd
ling. cover closely and simmer gently
without stirring until the apples are
! tender. Then skim out the apples and
4 add more and so on until all are
cooked. Put the apples in a stone
crock. pour the juice over them and set
away over night. The next day drain
the syrup of the apples. cook until
quite thick; then return TO the jar
The apples should be tender. but dis
tinct and the syrup nearly all alb

be added If desired They should be

may also be used with boiled cider
