Iobbela &c the ..Freieht.,

For many a moon there has been
a general understanding that the
jobbers and middlemen get big per-
centage OF the profits made in trade.
Food stufs almost always come
high through them. OF course the
consumer pays the freight but
who gets it? The producer does not
get a big price In comparison to the
price to the consumer. and conse-
uuently, the medium between gets
the big profit. Whether Legislation
can overcome this situation remains
to be seen. In the meantime pub
lIcity as advised by Dr.. Harvey w.
Wiley can do a good work. What
DR.. Wiley says in this respect is
worthy of perusal. He says:
The prices paid by the consumer
for food stufEs today loom up like
the Washington monument. while
the prices received by the farmer
look like a humble gravestone. /
am a farmer, and what want to see
is the cost of things reduced to the
consumer, and at the same time
have the farmers returns increased:
Recently ! tried to buy two carloads
of lumber from a number OF Vir-
ginia and Carolina timber com
panies, but would they sell 1t to me?
Not so you could show a receipt for
it. They told me to buy it from the
jobbers who purchased it from
them. When I tried to do this the
jobber told me they could sell only
to retail dealers, and that would
have to pay the retailers profits to
get the lumber. AS result. had
to pay $500 more for it. than it
would have cost had the producer
sold it to me direct.
Publicity, publicity, and more
publicity, will equa1ize these things.
Hammer at the middleman's profit
day and night. and in time he'll have
to pay the farmer more and charge
the consumer less. Publicity was
what made the pure food law.
Enough of it will wipe out the diff
ference between the five cents that
the farmer gets for his steer and the
price the housewife pays for the
porterhouse steak"

Advice to Women .
Roman

Cardinal Gibbons OF the Roman
Catholic Church, advises against
woman suffrage as follows, and it is
significant. that a great majority OF
the women of the United States
agrees with him:
avoid following those who
desire woman suffrage. DO not
fellow in the steps OF those
who have become mannish in their
ways and who fight for place In
politics. The place for the woman
Is in the home, and I trust you will
strive to do your best now. BY do
ing so each of you will bring JOY to
your relatives and friends and in the
future to the young man whom you
may call your husband"

Moving Pictures and tuberculosis.

Moving Pictures and Tuberculosis.
Further progress in the hght
against tuberculosis is noted in the
announcement that some 1000 the
alters over the country will exhibit
aims showing the methods employed
in fighting the disease and precau-
tions that should be observed by
persons who may be in danger OF
contracting it. In this connection
pictures OF the sunless tenements in
New York Will likely be shown, it is
said. 1t is estimated that there arc
so, 900 rooms In his great metropolis
that possess no access either to fresh
air or sunlight.
While no such conditions favorinG
the spread of consumption as these
may be said to exist in the country at
large, yet many persons mistakenly
attempt to produce them by trying
TO keep cold air out OF their bed
rooms and shutting up their houses
to fresh air at night.
Chemists and physicists tell us
that an atmosphere rich in ozone is
healthiest. and that cold weather
seems to favor the formation OF ozone
in the air If this is true, the at
tempt to avoid breathing cold air
is n mistake. when as a matter Of
fact cold air should be much
healthier than warm air The pic

course If Mr.. Massie does not believe
there is reasonable probability or
