Advances Fully Thirty
Per Cent.


New York, Nov. 15.-What are u.s.
ually considered the necessities Of
life have become during the last few
weeks Injuries, and the result is that
many small provision dealers are fac
ing bankruptcy, while the average
wage Garner has been compelled to
stop using milk, butter eggs and other
dairy products simply because he can
not afford them.
Milk, which has been cents
quart for years, is now quoted at 10
cents to the consumer Selected eggs
sre selling for So cents and cheapest
grade is above the Accent mark. But
ter is selling at 43 cents. and the deal
ers declare that it will be So cents
a pound before the end of the year.
The desire for increased dividends
on the part of the controlling lnteresr
in the milk trust and the dti'$ pred
uots trust is tho 'etson Coz the ad-
vance so far as tins popular mind is
concerned but the managers of the
compan es declare this is not so.
They insist the COWS are not giving
as much milk as usual, and that il
costs more to market milk and butter
The provision dealers also insist eggs
are luxury, that the great American
hens are no longer on the job as il
days gone by and that because of thi'
they have to boost the price of eggs
The cost of living in New York ha

splendid PLAY
Pulsates With Youth and Carries
Blase Back to Days "When
Every Goose Was Swan

"Strongheart," William Vaughn
Moodys splendid college play, de-
lighted audiences at the Auditorium
Saturday afternoon and evening.
Why this clean, healthy paly has
been an important factor in the
amusement world for three seasons
is easily answered by those who saw
it here. No man who saw it, be he
old or young, will long hesitate for
the right answer. He will say
"Strongheart' exists and is patronized
because it pulsates with youth, II
and manhood-because it presents
scenes and characters with which he
is familiar from present or recent
association. To the old man it re-
wives vivid memories of the most
cherished days of his life. One Of
the other sex, be she school girl, old
maid or matron, will have an equally
ready reply. Let woman say what
they may, nothing interests then
quite so much as man, and the college
play shows him at probably the mos
picturesque and interesting periot
of his development. The school CIR
has an immediate interest In tn,
college boys; the old maids interes
is reminiscent, but doubtless no les
