ito me that the whole matter
up to congress and other off
c1als of the government. Let us
have laws against the trusts and
let them be inforced.
Now, another question. Will
some packing house manager here
in Tacoma tell us why meat is so
much higher here than it is back
east-St. Louis, Kansas City or
Chicago. l mention those three
cities because of personal
knowledge of the price there. The
consumer in those cities gets his
meat much cheaper than we do
here, and because the packers
sell to the retailer cheaper. But
why? We are just as near the
cattle range as they are, and the
quality of meat there is better
than we have here. In those cit
les the meat is graded. If a butch
er is running a shop in a neigh
borhood where the people are not
able to pay the highest prices, he
buys cheaper meat, and under this
system they have prices for all
classes. Here it is different. The
packers have only one price for
good or bad, and the retailer has
to take just what they want to-
give him (which is very bad some
times). and have to pay the top
price for 1t.
The packers have certainly got
things their own way here. III
know, for have been In the
butcher business here, and I be-
lieye that about two-thirds of theI
retail butchers of this town arel
just simply working for the pack
ing houses. although they own
their shops and are paying their
own rent. Get after the packers
IL you want to lower the prices on
meat. A BUTCHER.

RAPs HIGHsCHooL BOYS

Editor Times:
Recently a bunch of High
school boys got onto a car on
the Point Defiance line. and from
the conversation, language and
conduct of some of them / was re-
minded OF the farmer who moved
into town that his son might have
the advantages or at least the
supposed advantages afforded by
o high school course.
In due time this son made such
rapid strides in the study of the
several languages he had taken
up that his father was astounded
ut the boys vocabulary.
Later, country friend visiting
the farmer at his city home, was
enlightened as TO the young mans
progress; this friend being in
bnsely interested asked his host
to name the languages his son
was studying in the high school,
to which the farmer replied, AN

PUT YOUR CORSETS ON RIGHT

Great strides. have been made
in the last few years in corset
making, and women are learning
how to wear their corsets. This
important fact must be remember
ed-corsets will always be COM
Portable if put on right.
First, have the corset opened to
the full extent of the lacers, which
must be of linen, and five to eight
yards long. Clasp the corset about
the waist, pulling it down slightly
and adjusting it to the figure.
Fasten and adjust the front hose

at the back, keeping the corset

Half an hour before breakfast

port the abdominal organs, not
push them down.
Now pull the laeers at the ex-
IRENE lower edge of the corset,
lacing upward to the waist line.
When the corset is well fitted
about the hips and to the waist
line, begin then to draw in the
lacers from the top to the waist
line. When this is done, pull the
four ends of lacers toward the
front and fasten them.
Before removing the corset. un-
tie the lacers and loosen them be-
fore unclasping the hooks. This
saves strain on the corset, con-
sequently it retains its shape
much longer.

Editor Times:
Dear Sir-To some extent it is
a delight to me, to see the people
Of this country are taking steps to
reduce the price of meat by plac-
ing a boycott on 1t. But, then,
when I think about it, I think 1t is
terrible that the people of the
United States have to starve
themselves in order to try and
get Justice from the meat trust.
1t seems to me it's mighty
poor civilization and brotherhood
among men. think, for one,
that the people should own the
meat industry. or all public utili-
ties, and don't think one would
have to starve himself half to
death in order to reduce prices.
We may boycott, fight them In
court, but we still have the
trusts, and they get richer every
year. while the people get poorer.
So ! say again. the people should
own them. We would then have
something to say about prices,
and also labor. Now we all know
Just the opposite politicians will
say we have no right to take their
property. But we all know what
corporations do when they want
property.
Now, wouldn'; it be Just as
right for the people to condemn
their property. nppraisc It and
buy it7 Why, OF course, Il would,
and 1t would end all this robbery.

l don't think we would trouble
ourselves very much getting con-
troll of them. But as long as there
is men elected into office that are
for or connected with the trusts,
and against public ownership and
the initiative and referendum
and recall, what better can we ex-
pect? 1t must surely be the medi-
cine the doctor ordered.
