always bought creamery butter, but am
convinced nevertheless that I have con-
sumed lots of 1t without knowing the diff
ference.
AT present the heavy tax on butterine
is making the article comparatively eX-
pensive. The farmer knows this very
we'll and acts accordingly.
Next came the high tariff. with a
heavy duty on everything which is pro-
duced here. The farmer had to be pro-
tected, just as we'll as at one time our
so-called infant industries had to be
On top of everything else came the
pure food law, and the monopoly of the
farmer was complete. Why shouldn't he
feel his oats?'
The pure food law has certainly some
good features. but in many Instances the
officials are going too far. 1t has been
necessary to create an army of inSpec-
tors and every one Of them wants to
show that he is doing something; that he
is officer whose services are yaIua BILE
to the government.
UNLESS this army of inspectors show
their efficiency they will lose their posi-
tions. SO in many cases they make them
selves unnecessarily important and in
f1ict hardShipS on the honest men enga ged
in the grocery or produce any similar
business. Ultimately the consumer has to
pay this army of inspectors Indirectly
and naturally it adds to the cost of liv-
ing.
AT the present high prices of all food
stuffs wholesale merchants as well as re-
tailers can hardly add their legitimate
profit, otherwise they will not be able
to sell the goods. 1t is not with the re-
taller or wholesale dealer that our legis-
lators have to begin their Inquiries about
the high prices. They must go to the
root of the evil.
Suppose they would remove the tax
on the much maIigned butterine This
would have a wonderful effect in bringing
down butter prices, and the prices of
milk and cheese as well as those of all
other farm products. The farmer is Ger.
tainly entitled to the full benefit of his
labor but it is useless to pay him a
premium.
UNLESS something of the order sug-
gested above is done the present tension
will not be released. The farmers would
be foolish to ask less for their products
than the city people are willing to give
them.

Consumer Is Paying Increase.

1t would seem that the committees
which are investigating the causes of the
increase in the cost Of living might find
some clue to the truth in the above fig
ures. Somebody has had to pay these
enormous advances. which have gone into
the pockets and the bank accounts Of
the farmers, and there is a reasonable
suspicion that the increase in their in
comes has come out of the pockets of the
consumers who buy their produce.

When the ciothier Falnted.

A London clothier was never known
to acknowledge that he didn't have
anything possible customer might ask
for. One day a customer entered the
shop and asked If he had any trousers
made especially for one-legged men.
Certainly" replied the merchant.
What kind do you want?"
"Dress pants" said the man. "The
best you've got"
Hurrying into the rear OF the shop
the enterprising merchant snatched a
pair OF trousers and shipped off the
right leg with pair of shears. Hastily
turning under the edges he presented
them to the customer.
That's the kind want. What's the
price?"
Thirty shillings."

leg off,"
A month later the clothier was pro-
nounced convalescent.-Lon Globe.

Valuable Map Just Issued.

The 1910 edition of the Denver & Rio
Grande folder, Natural Resources of
Colorado. Utah and New Mexico" is
especially valuable because the large
map, which takes in the territory from
the Rocky Mountains west to the Paci-z
fic Coast. is not only brought right up ]
o date but shows also the route aud
stations OF the new Western Pacific
Railway. the Pacific Coast extension OF
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
This new line was opened for freight
traffic some time ago. and 1t IL antici-
pated that passenger business will be
inaugurated early in August. 1t is said
that the route through the Sierras and
down the Feather River rivals in
scenic attractions the world-famous
Denver & Rio Grande. Another inter-
esting feature in connection with this
new Pacific Coast line is the fact that
there is no grade of more than fifty.
two feet to the mile, which makes It
possible to conduct transportation
across the mountains at lower cost
over that line than over any other now
operating on the American continent.

Passenger Department of the Denver

Dinner Goats,

Dinner and bridge coats are de-
veloped Of almost any material that is
ornate and silken, but chiefly Of bro
caded silk in pompadour effects on a
white or pale colored ground.
These are worn with any trained
skirt of net. lace. silk, satin or velvet
so long as the colorings of the two
garments do not clash.
Many women use them altogether
as home evening costumes. as they
are less negligee than tea gowns. as
well as less costly. and also serve to
prolong the usefulness Of extra skirts
that may be on hand.
It Is thus that many women utilize
various ball dresses OF post seasons
and thus save money for the utility
coat, which is an absolute necessity,
or for the extra evening wrap of en-
broidered velvet or satin, which she
tmagines she needs.
