No Meat For 60 Days.

The mo neat movement has quite a number of votaries in Ensley and several leading citizens are seriously considering the adoption of a plan similar to that inaugurated in St. Louis and other vest ern cities to eat no meat for 60 days.
 The price of meats has in their opin- ion advanced beyond the bounds of req son and certainly beyond the pocketbook of the average wage earner. The cost of living is not any higher here than in other industrial oenters, but to the man earning moderate wages 1t has become a serious question.
 It is stated the matter will be taken up by the commercial bodies some time next week.

Macao Is on an island of the Same

territory ever made to Portugal was

China insists. that the territory and
adjacent islands be evacuated by Por
