ARMOUR TALKS MEAT
INCREASE PRODUCTION AND
PRICES WILL FALL.
5000, 900 Less Hogs Slaughtered
the Past Season Than the
Year Before.

Chicago. Ogden Armour, at his
beautiful country home, Armouria, dis
cussed the present prices of provisions,
the cause and the remedy.
You can eliminate the meat packers
from the situation entirely" said Mr. Ar
mour, "and the high prices will remain.
The prices are high by the laws of ma
ture and natural laws cannot be changed.
The best We can do is to comply with
them. Increase production and prices
will fall.
THE situation as regards the cost Of
living has become serious in this coun-
try, extremely serious" said the head of
the great packing industry. THE prices
of foodstuffs have climbed upward until
they have passed all reasonable bounds.
The cause is not difficult to find, and it
is most important that it should be rene
died. The explanation is simply that the
consumption of food in the United
States has overtaken production. The
result has been inevitable. Prices have
gone up.
"The price of beef to the retailer has
advanced only one-half a cent pound
in the last year-that is to say, the
average price per pound for the whole
carcass. The advanced cost of hogs and
sheep has been very heavy. 1t was only
a few days ago that we bought live hogs
at the rate of nine cents pound. Think
of that. Such prices as these have been
unheard of for many, many years.
"And yet at these prices there are few
err hogs offered than when we paid less.
l haven't the exact figures at hand, but
approximately 100000 less hogs were
slaughtered in the last packing season
than for the year preceding. Surely, if
the farmers had the hogs they would
send them to market"

North Bay, Ont.-Dcath in all its most
terrible forms blotted out the lives of at
least score, and perhaps forty-eight
people, Friday afternoon, when four cars
of a Canadian Pacific passenger train on
the 500 branch leaped from the tracks,
and, tearing down a steep embankment,
plunged through the recovered surface
of the Spanish river Some were
drowned, Others were crushed to death in
grinding timbers. Most terrible of all,
many persons, MANNED and injured,
caught in the wreckage of one of the

Boys will be boys" but there are
some things done by boys which show
a perversion of high spirits and cannot
be excused on the plea of boyish
prankishness. At Trenton, N j., a
few nights ago boys tied rope across
a sidewalk after dark, and William
Steinmetz, a blacksmith, tripping on
the rope, while on his way home, fell
heavily to the pavement, fractured his
skull. and was picked up dead. The
Trenton police are unable to identify
the boys who tied the rope. 1t is a
good practice for policemen every
where to keep an eye on every boy
gang that frequents the streets after
dark.

USES OF A COLLEGE.

Whatever critics may say to the con-
trary, 1t never was and probably never
will be the purpose of the standard
college to train young men for bust
ness, says Boston Globe. Colleges do
not even train men for the profess
sions. There are professional schools
for that purpose, and in the days when
no such schools existed medicine was
taught in the offices of physicians and
law in the Offices of lawyers, just as
business was and still is taught In
places of business. Colleges we're not
instituted to make physicians nor to
make lawyers. Neither were they in
stituted to train men for business.
Schools for special training have null
tiplied rapidly the world over. Even
business schools are not lacking, al
though the business school which shall
be In fact postgraduate one to a reg
ular academic course has not yet ar
rived. Meanwhile the commercial col
lege or business school is doing excel
lent work. There is no reason why II
should not be expanded as the profess
sional and technical schools have been
Meanwhile let the idealist still cherish
his dream of college devoted to the
cultivation of lofty ethical standard
the propagation of knowledge, the fos
tering of the arts and the dissemina
ton of the spirit of fraternity.

WILL BE ENFORCED.

Two score youngsters were gathered
in by the officers Wednesday night for
being found upon the streets after the
curfew had been sounded at 9 o'clock.
Their names and addresses were taken
and their parents notified. Some Of these
children are laboring under the de-
fusion that the city authorities are
merely trying TO scare them, making a
bluff at enforcing the ordinance.
Some of the parents also appear to
harbor the same idea. Such is not the
case. The law viii be enforced, and
enforced to the letter. Moreover, If the
boys and girls are allowed to remain
away from home after the curfew
sounds, the parents may be summoned
before the juvenile court to explain how
it happened.
Wednesday nights work was only
the beginning. 1t will be continued
with unrelenting vigor hereafter. The
best thing for the children to do is to
give heed to the ordinance and not
bring trouble upon their parents. Be
within striking distance of home when
the whistles blow.

SHOWING INDIFFERENCE.

The Democratic minority in the lower
house of Congress evidently does not
care what becomes of the railroad bill.
By voting with the insurgents they
could shape the measure to suit them
selves. So far their effort in this direc-
tion has been spasmodic. Yesterday
sixty or seventy OF them were loafing
about the committee rooms and no ef-
fort upon the part of the Democratic
''whip" could induce them to appear on
the floor OF the House and take part in
the proceedings, greatly to the disgust
OF that individual. The conclusion is
natural that some Of the Democrats, at
least, are satisfied with the work Of the
Republicans who drew the bill, and are
not inclined to aid the insurgents In
narring that work any longer. all of
which speaks well for the wisdom of
the majority in drafting the measure.
II the members of the minority party
had arrived at this conclusion In the
first place much time would have been
saved and the passage of a better and
stronger law resulted. It is always the
better part of wisdom to let well
enough alone.

DECENTRALIZATION A FAD.

A New York physician with nearly
forty years experience in treating the
diseases Of children says pasteurizatIon
has contributed to an inferior milk
product and also increased the price.
In addition he claims that pasteuriza-
ton makes milk a more fertile medium
for the germs than it was before treat
ment. He gives his views on the sub
ject In these words:
Children should have the best milk

them to have it if a few simple rules
are observed. First, it should come

onerous; they are no stricter than those
which should be observed in the care of
any food product"
These rules are simple enough. It's
a mere matter of cleanliness.
Another investigator of the pasteuri-
cation process, a Chicago physician of
much experience, says:

ing of the milk will prevent any cpl

make it perfectly safe.
"Clean milk needs no pasteurization,
and the pasteurization of unclean milk
is makeshift cure worse than the dis
ease"
A third physician, head OF large
hospital in New Jersey, believes that
the era of pure milk is at hand. He
calls attention to the discovery that in
food millions of bacteria might thrive.
Investigations were made, he says, "and
it was discovered that the vast ma
jority of these bacteria found their
way into the milk after it was drawn
from the cow. Ply using proper meth
DDS it was found possible to obtain
milk practically free from bacteria and
that with simple cleanliness and proper
cooling it vas possible to deliver the
milk to the consumer, not with 10o,-
600, 900 bacteria to the cubic centlmetre,
but with 10000 or less. In this number
the milk is an absolutely safe food
stuff unless there are specific disease
producing germs such as typhoid, diph-
iberia or scarlet fever"
Nathan Strauss was the great apostle
of pasteurization of milk In this coun-
try, and for a time, owing to the out
cry raised, the pra -ce threatened to
become general. Now the reaction has
set in and the attention Of dairymen and
consumers is directed into an entirely
different channel. We believe it is the
experience of the Utah and Salt Lake
health boards that cleanliness is the
prime factor in the production of pure
milk and that in nearly all cases where
it has been condemn47 as unfit for hui
man food it was contaminated after
being drawn from the cow.
The summer season, the time Of year
when the little ones are most subject
to disease and death. is at hand. Mill
being their pricipal food, extraordinary
care should be observed in keeping il
free from impurities. If the farmers
and dairymen will observe the rules OF
cleanliness there is little danger OF
their product being condemned by the
inspectors.

BIBLE STORY ATTACKED.

The American Philosophical society
recently held a three days session in
Philadelphia. The papers read touched
upon many subjects, the authors delv-
ing into the dim and distant periods of
antiquity and attempting to peer into
the unknowable epochs yet to come.
Professor Paul Haupt of Johns Hop
kins university appeared in the role of
iconoclast and attempted to demolish
the story of David and Goliath as relat-
ed in the book Of books. DR.. Haupt de-
clared that IL wasn't Goliath who was
killed, but his brother, and that David
didn't do the killing. He also said that
Goliath wasn't giant and that the
brother who was killed was slain at
Bethlehem. a place never visited by Da-
vid or any of his sons.
DR.. Haupt waded through the profane
history and traditions of the interven-
ing thousands of years to prove his
case. The lay mind being unable to
follow him through the intricate maze
of theoretical research will be COM
the Staying of the giant Philistine, Co
Hath, by the shepherd boy David as re-
lated in the Book of Samuel. It's too
good a story to admit Of doubt.
Another philosopher, DR.. Charles B.
Davenport, director of the station for
experimental evolution at the Carnegie
institution, at Pasadena, Cal, read a
paper on the results of a series of ex-
periments which ne believes have
brought him close to the solution of
the mystery of hereditary influences
and the transference Of characteristics
from parent to offspring" his efforts
being directed toward the goal long
sought by scientists-regulation of spe-
cies and possibly of sex
DR.. Davenport is Of the opinion, al
though he didn't say so in so many
words, that the time will come when
doctors will be able to tell before a
child is born exactly what the color of
its eyes will be. and something or its
other prospective and mental charac-
teristics. Ali this may be possible. Be-
fore pinning our faith on the PROPOSE
ton. however, it will be we'll to await
| the time when some doctor gives all
this information in advance or makes
lucky guess.
Modern philosophy and science are
beyond the ken of most Of us.
