FOODPRICESARE ILLOGICAL
sTATlsTIcIANs THINK PRICES
SHOULD BE LOWER.
United States Imported More and
Exported Less in 1909 Than
In 1908.

Washington, d. C.-If the United
States in 1909 imported $4,000, 900
worth of crude foodstutfs more than
the year before, and exported $53, 000,-
900 less, why is the cost Of living so
high?
This is the question that is puzzl-
ing statisticians who CLEANED the ex-
port and import figures from a bull
letin issued Friday by the department
Of commerce and labor. The bulletin
points out we added to our beef avail
able for local consumption: 81, 900, 900
worth by an increased importation
and $4,000, 900 worth by a decreased
expectation.
What happened to this $4,000, 900
worth of beef?
Why didn't it lower prices by over
supplying tie demand?
In addition to this, we exported in
partly manufactured foodstuffs $40,.
100000 less than a year before. OF this
we kept $685. 00, 600 worth of meat and
dairy products for domestic use. But
beer and butter prices went ~aeroplan-
ing nevertheless.
Now the question is asked: IF we
kept our food at home and also
brought more in from abroad, why
shouldn't that increased supply lower
the price@"

"cRoPE THROUGH A CRACK"
Uncle Eph Had at Least One Idea Of
How His Hogs Might Have
Got Away.

Uncle Ephraim had two hogs. which
be kept in a pen at the rear end of his
little lot. They we're of the razor
back" variety, and although they were
fed bountifully with kitchen waste.
it seemed impossible to put any fat
on their attenuated frames. One morn
ing when he went out to feed them
they were not there. They had dis
appeared, leaving no clew to the man
ner in which they had made their es-
cape.
Whats the matter, Uncle Eph?"
inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep
detection with which the old man was
looking down into the empty pen.
"My hawgs is done gone, sah," he
answered.
"Stolen?"

HORSE MEAT SOLD
FOR BEEF STEAK
CHICAGO INSPECTOR DECLARES
EoUlNEs ARE BEING sLAueH-
TERED BY WHOLESALE.
ASKS FOR RIGID INVESTIGATION
Farming Districts and Mining Camps,
as Well as Free Lunch and Cheap
Boarding Houses Are Buyers,
Official Report Asserts.

Chicago.-In an official report to
the Illinois state food commission,
made public here, State Inspector
Hoey declares that horses are being
slaughtered by the wholesale in Chi
eago and the meat is being sold and
distributed for human consumption.
The meat, he says, is being cut into
roasts, steaks and sausages, and is be-
ing sold to free lunch vendors in Chi
cago and to some farming districts
and mining camps where foreign min
ers are employed.
E. Heretofore, says the report, it was
the general belief that all horse meat
in Chicago was prepared for shipment
to Copenhagen, and the fact that it is
being put up for home consumption is
looked upon as necessitating a new
state law regulating the killing of
horses.
