To Limit Cold stor.rc.

In Cleveland. where the first meat
boycott was started. it is said that
over $4,000 had signed the pledge to
abstain from eating meat for thirty
days. These people will ask the Legis-
lature to pass a bill to penalize the re-
tanning of food in cold storage for long
er than one month. In this connection
reporter for the New York World
gained admittance to one of the largest
cold storage plants in New York and
found records of foodstuffs kept as long
as two years or more. such as fish.
poultry, eggs, fruits and meats. Eggs
in some cs-es were five years old and
originally had been imported from Chi
ma. It is estimated that an entire
beef carcass for each adult in the coun-
try is held in cold storage.

poorer classes to- dress their children

many worthy boys and girls out of the
high schools. He would bar jewelry
and have the color of all garments
limited to neutral shades.
