THREE-FIFTH of all
1 money spent by the

nineteen million families of
the United States for food goes to the meatman,
despite the fact that the food so obtained has a
nutritive value of only one third of all that eaten
Because of the great cost of meat there is par
ticuar, three times a-dav interest in the profits
that accrue to the man who wraps 1t in brown
paper for YOU. 1t is interesting to know. for
instance, that his toll Is twice as great pro-
portion on the cheap meat of the poor as on the
expensive cuts of the well to do, that it is two
and half times great in Holyoke Massachu-
sets. in Springfield nearby. that it is higher
IN Shreveport, louisiana than any other place
IN the nation and cheaper in Tacoma, W ash1ng-
ton with Baltimore Maryland a close second.
All these things have been found out by the
Department of Agriculture. which has recently
completed survey of fifty cities with the idea
of asCertaining Just what the conditions
that exist with relation to the retail meat trade
1t was found that the retail! price of beef in the
North Atlantic States was 3l.4 per cent higher
on the average than the wholesale price, and
that the profit was greater in the small than in
the large cities. At Allentown, PENNSYLVANIA,
there is an immediate gross profit of so per
cent; AZ per cent at Harrisburg; % per cent
at Clean, New York; 10 per cent. at Spring
field, Massachusetts, and AZ for Holyoke, its
neighbor. The gross profit in New York city
was 20 per cent, in Philadelphia 20 per cent
in Buffalo. 2S per cent. and in Boston, SO per
cent.
In all these cities, as in fact throughout the
country, the figures show conclusively that the
centage of profit on it. Alentowns high per
centage was based upon wholesale prices of
Il and 81 cents. In Boston the rate of gross
profit is twice great on Scent beef as for that
costing IL and III cents. The advice to the
meatman with ambition to become a million
aire and get into society would therefore natu-
rally be to sell exclusively to the poor.
striking contrast is found between Balti
more and Washington in the South Atlantic
group, only forty miles apart The profit of
the retailer in the former city is only II per
cent. and that in its neighbor is AZ per cent.
with no apparent reason for the discrepancy.
Richmond. little farther down. assesses a
profit of Fl per cent. while Augusta, equally
well situated for procuring its meat takes toll
amounting to 81 per cent. The general average
for the South Atlantic States is 3S per cent.
In the North Central States the general aver
age is about the same in the South Atlantic
group In Chicago the only returns obtained
were for the lower grades of beef, and on these
the profits were 46 per cent. In Cincinnati the

Decidedly Cold

TT is a cold climate in which flame cannot
keep itself warm. One Of the scientists at
tached to the Peary expedition has personally
told of the effect Of intense cold on a wax can
die that he tried to burn.
The temperature was thirtv-five degrees be-
low zero, and its effects were felt not only by
the members of the expedition. but even by the
candle in question. 1t gave forth CHEEKY
light such as might have been expected from
it in other circumstances, and when it came to
be examined It was found that the flame had
all it could do to keep itself warm.
The air was so cold that the flame was not
powerful enough to melt all the wax of the can
die, but compelled to eat its way down
leaving skeleton structure of wax in the form
of hollow cylinder Inside this cylinder the
wick burned with a tongue of yellow fire. and
here and there the heat sufficient to per
forate the outer covering and leave holes of odd
shapes which turned the cylinder into a tube
of lacelike wax, through the holes in which the
light shone with strange, weird beauty.

SOC|ETYS DUTY
TO THE PRISONER
Committee Emphasizes Great Need 81
Continued Supervision Of Con-
victs After Release.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington. Sept. SO.-In the report
of the committee on discharged pris-
|oners, presented last evening at the
meeting of the American Prison asso-
citation by F. A. Whittier of Red Wing,
MINI, the committee emphasized the
great need of continued supervision
of prisoners after release from prison.
The theory of parole seems to be gain
ing favor. The public must be made
to understand that released prisoners
are to be accepted as part of the
body polite. Society must do its part
in the rehabilitation Of the prisoner
The prisoner cannotrdo much alone.
Material aid in the shape Of money
lis not so essential to the discharged
or paroled man as ready employment
and friend. The service of the paid
state parole agent has SO far been
the most effective. Work for the re-
lclamation Of the prisoner should be
begun while he is still in prison.
For years prison managers thought
the cheapest and easiest way OF hand
ling the prisoner was to cast him
adrift, with possibly a cheap suit Of
clothes and a little money as sort
OF bribe to their conscience that theil
full duty had been done. Was this
and is it now the cheapest way? W.
think not, and viewed solely from The
standpoint of dollars and cents this
will not be profitable. Surely if ails
considerable per cent can be restored
to self-sustaining citizenship by soms
Timely help, it will be found cheaper
than the expense of their added crime

Ily when we consider the fact tina
every conviction makes his restora

Itinuous care more certain, either il

FOREIGNERS FEAR
CH|Nk OUTBREAK
Vessels of Aslatic Fleet and Military
Forces at Manila Prepared
For Action.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-China is de-
elared to be on the verge of another
upheaval similar to the boxer upris-
ing, and the lives Of foreigners are in
jeopardy. Advices received here re-
Gently from government officials in
China express the belief that an out
break at any time would not surprise
them. The state department has in
structed officials to maintain close
watch on the internal conditions.
All through the summer months
there have been mutterings of dis
content in some of the Chinese prov
inces due to the rice famine, dynastic
difficulties and dissatisfaction over
acts of the Pekin government as to
foreign investments in China.
Good harvest mitigated to some ex-
tent the gravity of the situation, but
there is still a general feeling of un-
rest, according to personal letters re-
ceived here from men on duty in that
quarter. The army and the navy are
prepared for any emergency. but their
readiness is solely a precautionary
measure, it is said, and should not be
taken as an indication of immediate
danger.
Authentic advices from those charg-
ed with keeping in touch with the con-
ditions indicate that the only thing
lacking to parallel the present situa-
ton with that preceding the boxer
troubles, which drew into China the
American forces, as well as those of
other nations, is the matter of organic
alton, and that it only needs leader
to effect that.
Every vessel in the Asiatic fleet, as
well as the military forces at Manila,
is prepared for almost instant action
in the event of trouble breaks.
United States Minister Calhoun at
Pekin, who last May reported to the
state department the generally dis
quieting anti-foreign and anti-dynas
tic rumors, is keeping in close touch
with the situation there. and Foreign
Consular Beedy at Making early in the
summer emphasized to the viceroy
there the Importance Of immediate
protective measures.
