 When you find such vast quantities of poultry stored away within the linn its of one county alone you may judge for yourselves as to the reason for poultry selling at record breaking prices. I am informed that poultry which has lost it's natural color while in cold storage and has turned either black or green is washed with some solution which tends to restore the natural color. It is positively known that by thawing out cold storage poul- try in water before placing it on sale a gain in weight is found of from 9 to 14 per cent. By keeping poultry in cold storage many months the con sumner is compelled to pay an exorb- itant price for it, not only because it is kept from the market and the price thereby enhanced. but also because he has to pay for an increased weigh brought about by the thawing out pro cess.

In an address before the Hartford Business Mems Association. Tuesday night, Herbert c. Parsons referred to the issue of corporation vs. people in such nluminative language that we are constrained to republish the more material parts thereof:
 When we contemplate the vast ex- pansfon of this people in numbers. do- main and wealth, we are warranted in taking pride in the institutions under which they have developed. They have proved elasticSenough to hold the great enterprise within the lines of common benefit, we say. We reserve our great est satisfaction to the realization that it has come about under a form of government devised for 8 fringe of States almost wholly agricultural along the Atlantic coast. That gov ernn eTt. we beast. has proved equal, under the strain of the pressing new problems of the nations development, to it's design It has kept itself true, we claim, to the single end of all gov ernnleft, the securing of every man in the rights with which he is endowed by nature. free from injury at the hands of any other man, any body of men. Whenever government fails of this end it fails of the purpose for which governments are instituted, and the failure could in no case be more dismal than in that of the American government. If such forms as ours cannot secure to the individual every where and always the enjoyment of his full natural rights. free from hurt by neighbor far near. then it must be owned that the mind of man is not equal to the regulation of the affairs of men for their common good.
 We are daily made familiar with the injustfces of the process of piling up the nations wealth. We have lurid pictures of the wrongs of the indus trial system. We hear the. outcry against the overmastering selfshness of corporations, them mselves the crea- lures of government, to which we have assi gued the business of transportation and communication. We are humbled |by the assertion that rule by the peo- ple has been given over to rule by Acorporations. soul1ess, ruthless un- Rscrupulous in their contamination of Aeourts and Legisi atures and secure in 3Ahe defiance of the peoples right and FFae peoples will

Tn an address before the Hartford Business Mems Association Tuesday night Gov. Weeks expressed belief that it is unnecessary to patronize the retail stores of New York and Boston when the local retail stores are teteenn- ing with every variety Of products. and eloquent of the energy of their proprietors.'' That which is true of the Hartford stores. is equally true of the Bridgeport stores. It is not mere ly unnecessary to patronize the New York stores; it is also unwise, for a number of reasons. Nothing in values or prices is gained, and there should be considered the travelling and dining cost and the probable purchase of more or less articles not needed and not included in the pre-arranged list of purchases. In addition. ones trade is the rightful due of the merchants of the city in which one gains his or her Livelihood. And local pride should suffice to induce each citizen to up build the business of his home city.

Prices of butter have been reduced. ant1za member of the Elgin <Q11) Board of Trade attributes the reduction to the increasing use of oIeonaargarine, to which substitute for butter many people have been driven by high prices.

you OF the utter disregard for and ap-
probation Of tree life that has taken
hold Of the lives OF city children as
a result OF the method pursued in
the holiday season. He may say that
a trip to the woods or the planting
OF tree is an entirely wholesome
way OF providing a Christmas tree.
Giving the birds luncheon by the
children will not be costly, and real

He may ask II you believe the
Creator is pleased with the terrible
sacrifice In His name.
The practical farmer will tell you
without the need of questioning that
a very valuable line of timber is des-
troyed in the Christmas tree business,
and that every particle of 1t goes to
waste. His story of floods and
drought, connected very properly in
his mind with the disappearance OF
our forests, and his annual loss. adds
still to the size of the cloud and re-
lates 1t directly with the very chill
dren who are momentarily delighted
with the glitter of the Christmas tree.
Does 1t not look then as If when
we celebrate the birth of the Prophet
OF Peace we are at the same time
warning thoughtlessly but needlessly
on His creatures? Does It not seem
clear that while we are endeavoring
to create beauty in the home and
church we are in reality working a
vast devastation out Of doors? Does
il not appeal to you as being true
that formerly the Christmas tree was
used to decorate the home, school
and church. whereas today we are
making 1t but peg on which to hang
artificial decorations? How does the
spirit Of Arbor day comport with the
Christmas tree traffic? From the eco
nomic standpoint as related to DOS
terity can we AFFORD to continue this
vast Christmas tree custom!

He has made numerous experiments

CHILD IS BORN ARE
Lecturer Explains Working Of BIZ
ogenetic Law.
EIucldates Many Strange and Absurd
instincts That Come and Go Dur.
Ing Human Infancy, Child
hood and Adolescence.

Chicago Howard Moore told
members of the Socialist league q
lot about babies the other night Mr..
Moore discussed The Biology Of the
Child" at a meeting which was held
at l60 Washington street.
There Is a law In biology called
the biogenetic law. 1t was discov-
cred by Haeckel. 1t is one of the
most important laws OF the organic
world. 1t is this: Each organism In
its individual development repeats
the life history of the race to which
t belongs
mo being comes into the world full
grown. Every being goes through the
performance of what is called growing
before 1t is a complete organism.
Every being commenced as small,
simple and rather shapeless bit Of
protoplasm. The gulf between this
condition and maturity is bridged In
by a longer or shorter series of
changes in size, form and architec-
ture. The remarkable thing about
these changes is that they are strik-
ingly parallel to the changes which
the race has undergone in its evolu-
ton from the beginning of the earth.
The biogenetic law applies to men
tai phenomena as well as to
physical Only in the light Of this
law is 1t possible to understand the
many strange and absurd instincts
that come and go during human in
fancy, childhood and adolescence.
1t has been said that the child is
born savage. This is not quite true.
1t is worse than that Only after a
rather long and inglorious prelim-
mary as quadruped is 1t able to walk
with its pront feet in the air and
rightfully lay claim to the title of
savage"
Mr.. Moore said the general IDEAS OF
the child. its conception of itself. and
it's outlook on the world are essen
TALLY the same as those of the savage
narrow. mystical. and naive. The
child believes in ghosts, fairy tales,
magic and miracles, much as the saw
age does.
Among the points brought out by
the lecture were the following:
The human baby antedates the saw
age by several hundred thousand
years.
The child is born ape.
The instinct Of the baby to cling to
everything within reach is the instinct
Of the monkey.
A stick in the hands of baby be-
comes a club.
babys attack on the cat is
relic of the club stage In mans de-
A child's love OF camp fire, the
forming of gangs among boys, the de-
sire to stone dogs and SNOWFALL ped
ilers, and the strong love for bow
and arrow are remnants of the ear
Ter man.
