The Meat of the Thing.

The statement is attributed to Sec
rotary Wilson that laborers eat meat
three times daily and are not content
with any but the best cuts and can
afford to buy them.
The experience Of every laborer in
this country is a refutation of the
statement of the secretary Indeed,
housekeepers of even the so-called mid
die class can refute the statement.
Housewives could tell him that the
prices of meat are almost prohibitive,
so far as the choice cuts are concern
ed. The prices of even the less choice
parts are on the increase and are fast
soaring beyond the reach of moderate
purses. One good feature of this in
creased cost of meat is that there will
be less of it consumed.
This will be better for the people,
for the American, as a general rule,
eats too much meat.

RenubIicanism,s Trend.

Speaker Cannon insists the minority
has no rights. That's characteristic.
He places numbers above principle
and proceeds to gag and gavel the
minority in the interests of the trusts
and special privilege for the simple
reason that special privilege controls
a majority of the republican house,

His theory that might makes right
may operate for a time, but his batter
les Of sarcasm and his "tommyrot" re-
torts appear feeble and ineffective
against the broadsides of reason and
argument fired by La Toilette, Cum
minis, Dolliver, ct al.
The trend OF the republican party to-
day is with the "progressives" and in
hostility to the champions of special
privilege. Wise republicans realize that
to save the republican party from an
Inhalation it will have TO cease its
blindness to public wants and its deaf
ness to public demand.

THE FIELD OF LITERATURE

The November American Magazine.
Miss Ida NJ Tarbeu begins her new
historical serial in the November
American Magazine. This will be the
most important work Miss Tarbell has
undertaken since her History of the
Standard OIL Company" Its theme will
be the American woman and the i'm
portant and heroic part that she has
played in shaping the destinies of the
nation since the revolutionary days of
1916. The series will be illustrated
with many beautiful portraits. This
issue Of the American Magazine also
contains the first chapters of Simon
the Jester" William J. Locke's new
novel which is said to be the most
thrilling he has yet written. The sec
ond article about "Barbarous Mexico -
by John Kenneth Turner, also appears
in this number. Mr.. Turner's adven-
lures and his account of the tragic
fate of the Yaqui Indians at the hands
OF the Mexican government are at the
same time absorbingly fascinating and
appalling. Three other articles are
additional features of this November
issue. They are Joseph Pulitzer" the
blind editor and owner of the New
York World, a fascinating and init
mate study of an extraordinary per-
sonality. THE Mistakes of a Young
Railroad Telegraph Operator" which
is an exposition of railroad operating
methods, and THE Beauty Business"
by Anne Hard, an uproariously funny
article which has to be read to be ap-
preciated Excellent fiction is con-
tributed by Inez Haynes Gilmore, who
writes of further adventures of those
delightful Martin children, Berenice
Fearn Young, Harry James Smith and
Mrs. L. H Harris. Wallace Irwin be-
gins a new Hashimura Togo series en-
titled Togo Tales" and these are
full of the quaint delicious humor that
has made the Japanese schoolboy so
much enjoyed. plays and Players"
and Interesting People," with their
accompanying full-page portraits, have
set an unique standard in this line of
magazine departments. "The Pilgrims
Scrip and 'In the Interpreters

respondence and an editorial COM
ment on question of International
discussion.

CHICAGO WEST SIDERS
SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
Prove Glad to Have Chance to Do
Work for the Vegetables
They Raise.

The Chicago City Gardens associa-
ton is closing a successful first years
work, patterned somewhat from Pin
gree's potato patch at Detroit. The
International Harvester company do
mated the land on Marshall boulevard
south of Twenty-sixth street and near
the Bridewell The Outdoor Art
league donated a bungalow with
roomy porches on three sides, two
large rest rooms, a tool closet and
lavatories. 1t was necessary to tile
drain the land, which greatly delayed
the gardening Interested citizens
readily donated labor, tile, seed, tools
and money, and all difficulties were
overcome.
A A. Fisk, a competent student of
agriculture, was hired for superintend-
emit The late C. w. Pottenger, farmer
at Dunning, prepared a special garden
plan for the growing of more than 20
kinds of vegetables with the most
economical arrangement as to COM
panion crops and succession of crops.
Each plot is 150x36 feet, containing
one-eighth of an acre, and is rented for
$3.50. The association furnishes the
seed and expert supervision. There
is an abundant water supply for irriga-
ton in case of drouth. The gardens
were given to deserving west side
families, most of them sent by the
various settlements and charity organ
izations, and some from the tubercu-
losis institute.
One hundred gardens were prepared
and there were applicants for many
more. Much land is available and
doubtless the work will be greatly en-
larged next year.
Mrs. Laura Dainty Pelham of Hull
house, president of the association,
said in September that she saw no rea-
son for receding from the original es-
innate of $45 per lot profit for each
family, and that most of the work had
been better than expected. with few
exceptions we found our farmers ready
to do their share. The gardeners have
responded to directions in most cases,
and will do better next year because
they see the value of following a good
leader. If they don't take care Of
their lots they soon learn they will
lose them, and we have never been
ashamed of the appearance of the
field in general. The occasional neg
Iected lot can be explained" (by the
sickness or misfortune of the work
ers).
Mrs. Pelham reported that the best
crops had been onions, beans, peas and
lettuce, that the parsnips were yield
ing we'll, that the carrots and cabbage
in some lots looked splendidly, while
"squashes and tomatoes promise to
be the best things when they come to
perfection. Reported by Arthur j.
Bill for Illinois Farmers Institute.

WHY NOT STOP THAT ITCH?
The Harper House Pharmacy AS.
sures Relief With Every 20
Cent Bottle.

The Harper house pharmacy of
this city say that they have found in
disputable proof that eczema can be
cured-not in one or two cases, but
in scores of cases which they have
studied.
They would, of course, not think
of making such a recommendation to
their neighbors and patrons, were it
not that their years and years of sue
cess with D. D. D. prescription en-
ables them to speak of this remedy
with confidence. 1t is a gentle, sooth-

tergreen as a base All the cures
seem to be permanent, at any rate,

away the itch at once-instantly We
