The dearth of meat In nearly all
European countries has revived the
controversy about horseflesh, which,
with black bread, is still alleged by
free traders to be the staple food of
the working classes in protected coun-
tries. In the Paris Journal DR.. Pas-
cal warmly recommends horsehesh,
which he says is very good aud rela-
lively cheap.
'"The prejudice against horsefiesh has
had to give way before now to power
ty, scarcity and hunger" says the doc
tor. "The first horse butchers shop in
Paris opened In 1866, and there are
now 800 In France, of which 300 are
In Paris and its vicinity.
'4There are two special slaughter
houses In the department of the Seine,
and 60,175 horses, 1,141 donkeys and
1913 mules were killed there In 1907.
One-third Of the horsefesh in Paris is.
however, made into sausages, which
suggests that there is still very
strong prejudice against horseflesh as
such"
Age Only Drawback.
There 10 only one real objection to
the use Of horsefesh, thinks DIR. Pas
cal. The animals that are slaughtered
are old and worn out insteadeof being
well fed with view to the meat mar
ket.
The public health department in
Paris buys every day upward of 1,7oO
pounds Of horse meat to be chopped
up and eaten raw by delicate patients
at the hospitals. Horse meat is said
to be not indigestible, and the flesh.
even of aged animals, is tender.

Cocks Seize Profits.
Cooks almost invariably do the mar

sometimes amused themselves with
watching the number OF those who
supply themselves at shops that only

ing well trimmed joints for less than
they would pay at the regular butch
ers, but no doubt charging their EN-
ployers as much as beef would have
cost the difference IN the taste never

Choice pieces of horse meat fetch
from about 10 cents a pound wholesale
and may be sold In the retail trade
for as much as is cents pound. Dom
key meat and mule meat have their
own special patrons, and the votaries
Of horsefiesh firmly believe that If
horses were treated like oxen and well
fed horse meat would soon be general
" preferred to beef.

WANT RIVER
BANK IMPROVED

There will be a conference shortly
between the Levy Court. the officers
Of the Wilmington New Castle and
Southern Railway Company and the
Red Lion marsh. Unless some perman-
ent work Is done to stop the overflow
ing of $50 acres of meadow land be-
low New Castle the county will be put
to an extraordinary expense.
Some years ago when a small break
occurred in the river bank one of the
marsh owners refused to bear his share
of making the repairs. II went from
bad 10 worse until finally the meadows
were flooded. The trolley company has
spent thousands of dollars in elevat-
ing and bulkheading its tracks. The
county went to an outlay Of much
money 10 build the Red Lion causeway,
but the banks Of the causeway are now
in danger of being washed away. The
subject of repairs 10 the river bank
was discussed at a conference held here
two weeks ago, but nothing definite
was reached. Consequently another
meeting will be held. AS long as the
river bank is broken and the sluice
out of order the meadows in the neigh.
borhood will be flooded and cause dam
age to the trolley and county road.

Object to the New Assess
ment Figures

Some Of the residents of the High
lands are preparing TO appeal from the
action of the Board of Assessment. APP
peal and Revision IN putting part Of
that section on a full rate assessment
basis. The new full rate zone takes
in the big plant of Joseph Bancroft
and Sons Company and the big resi-
dences along Red oak Road and other
streets In that section built up within
the past ten years.
The Bancroft Company already has
protested against the fun rate assess
ment. and owners Of residences In the
section affected are preparing to make
a concerted appeal. II is contended
that there is a law passed many years
ago putting the Highlands section OF
the Seventh ward on a half-rate and
also that there are many Improvements
lacking in that section.
on the other hand the Assessment
Board contends that the half-rate law
was wiped out by the new Constitution
of the state. and that the board has
authority to fix the territory that shall
he full-ratc and that shall be half
rate.
Residents of Eastlake have protested
against being put in the full-rate zone.

Mr.. Stewards opinion Mr.. Taft is as
great man as Mckinley. Harrison,
Cleveland any of the other more re-
