EGGS II CENTS ADOZEN
Eggs Are Selling For Twelve Cents a
Dozen in Oxford, Pa.

The iubllation Of the housekeepers at
the prospect of a general decline in the
prices of produce on the advance Of
spring has been, dampered somewhat by
the present upward tendency of meat
prices. Some Of the provision dealers Of
the city have already advanced the retail
price of beef and mutton following ad-
vances decreed by the meat trust. and 1t
is admitted that it is but question Of
time when the higher prices viii be gem
eral. Some of the better class Of butchers
have tried to hold prices as they have
been throughout the winter, but they ex-
pect to make the advance with the major
itv OF butchers unless the wholesale prices
are lowered.
The sudden advance in the wholesale
price has puzzled the retailers, as whole
sael prices as a rule rarely go up so early
in spring. The advance has been made
within the last two weeks, local market
men assert. The wholesale price of beef
before that time had been from $3.50 70 IS
per 100 pounds: it is now from 50 to S1o.5o
Mutton has been similarly affected. Thii
has resulted in an average advance Of
cents a pound retail. Good chuck roast
which sold two weeks ago for from IL to
u cents a pound is now selling for from
12ih to IA cents. Rib roast sold two weeks
ago for from 16 to Is cents pound; it Il
now IS and 20 cents. Lamb, which sold FOL
from 12k to 1s cents a pound now sells FOL
from IA to Is cents.
Pork has advanced on the average from
one to one and half cents pound.
Retail butchers here know of no reasor
why meat should have advanced in price
At the local office Of the Armour Com
pany the advance was attributed to scar.
hcity of cattle in the west.

RIGHT FOOD.
How the Raby Va SAVED.

when our first baby came it was
soon apparent that his mother could
not nurse him and it became necessary
TO feed him artificial food. We tried
everything recommended by our family
doctor, then consulted several other
physicians in succession.
1--WE experimental with nearly every
artificial food but could barely keep
the baby alive, and at the age of FIVE
months he weighed no more than at
birth. When eight months old he had
gained very little, and his stomach
and bowels were in such a condition
that we despaired of raising him.
"A chance acquaintance recommend
ed Grape-Nuts. and we commenced
feeding him on ii. soaking it until soft
in warm water. as milk would not stay
on his stomach.
From the very first we saw that we
had found the right food at last and
he began to improve Immediately. We
fed him on Grape-Nuts in this way
and absolutely nothing else for several
months, and he grew so fast and be-
came so fat and strong that our friends
were surprised and could scarcely be-
lieve that it was the same child.
HE did not even begin TO crawl or
cut his teeth until after we put him
on crape-Nuts Until that time he
was weak and helpless and cried near
" all the time. Now he is a strong,
bright, rosy-cheebed child of 3 IL
years"

CITY MAY HAVE
OWN CONDUITS

Engineer A. J. Taylor. OF the Street
and Sewer Department. who has been in
structed to prepare data for the plan OF
the Street and Sewer Directors to have all
wires under ground, is now preparing
maps for presentation 70 the directors
which win show all the conduits the
Delmarvia Telephone Company has in SER
vice and contemplation. as well as the
conduits the Delaware and Atlantic rele-
graph and Telephone Company has laid
through the streets.
The conduits owned by the telephone
companies here would not be large enough
to permit the city to place its own wires
and to rent space for private wires and
fl is probable that new system OF con-
duits would have to be laid If the city
should decide TO adopt a system of having
all wires in one conduit or subway.

PLAYING AT HONE RULE.

II is not easy TO what good end was
served by Mondays Home Rule debate and
vote in the British House of Commons. except
ing possibly. the giving of IN opportunity 10
Alr. Asquith 10 declare his policy and cOnse-
qucntly the policy of the Liberal government
during the remainder Of its tenure of office.
The serving Of that purpose was however,
scarcely worth while. since there really no
doubt among well informed men concerning
Mr.. Asquth's attitude on the Irish question;
ana nobody probably supposed that the Lib
eral government under its new leadership
would he guilty of the breach of faith which
would Ice involved in the passage Of a Home
Rule bill without a special mandate from the
electorate.
The academic expression of opinion which
WAS made by the House ma iorty WAS scarcely
such AS to give satisfaction to either the ad-
Vocates or the opponents Of Home Rule. Civ
ing the Irish people legislative and executive
control of all purely Irish affairs' might
mean much or little. according to the inter
probation of the phrase purely Irish a
UnioniSt might interpret IT in way salts
factory 10 himself. and Home Ruler might
do the same, hut the two interpretations would
be as far apart the poles. Moreover. there
obviously arises The criticism that there are in
ireland many interests with which the legiS-
ature and the executive have 10 deal which
not purely Irish" or, in Mr.. asquth's
phrase, purely local" aud which apparently
would require the attention Of q second legisia-
ture and a second executive dual system OF
government which would be complicated aud
cumbersome.
As for the attitude Of the Home Rulers. il
foregOne conclusion the moment the
government insisted upon the amendment max
ng every thing in Ireland subject to the sl-
prcme authority of the imperial Parliament"
That is precisely the thing Ia which the Home
Rulers most strenuorsly object Their demand
is for 8n Irish control Of ali things in Ireland.
