transferred from within the homo to OUT
side the home. We have already observed
that the same law OF development exists
in respect to certain other elements of
home life. We have seen how productive
industry. once located largely in the
home. has almost entirely departed from

housekeeping have begun to die. in the

science courses outside.
simultaneously, naturally. there has
arisen a great demand on the part OF
housewives for food already cooked.
This applies not only to cereals and
breads and canned vegetables and canned

All these changes tend to contract the

that they tend to destroy its vital
principle.

OPPOSES THE TARIFF BILL.
Issued by the Ultimate
Consumers League,

CHICAGO. April Further protest
against the Payne bill will be made to-
night at meeting of the Ultimate Con-
sumers' Tariff League. In an address the
league says:
Mr.. Payne. author of the tariff bill,
says that the ultimate consumer makes
no objection to the proposed tax on coffee
and tea and other household necessities
The Ultimate Consumers Tariff League is
organized for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the fallacy of this contention and
putting consumers on record In every
practicable manner as being unalterably
opposed to the imposition of any tax
whatsoever on coffee and tea and other
household necessities. and for the further
purpose Of devtsing and putting into ef-
feet every legitimate means of prevent
ing such calamity.
This Is not a local move, but will be
extended throughout the United States.
II means much to every consumer and
more to every dealer.
