THE FALL IN MEAT PRICES.

The experts are suspicious OF the de-
cline in meat prices They brand II
an spurious and as not likely to last
1t 10 declared TO be an incident Oh
policy of manipulation pursued by the
packers and OF an abnormal market
condition.
The interests which manipulated
the prices upward" says Doctor Wiley,
the government food expert, tempo
rarily have released their hold on our
threats for the purpose OF getting
fresh grip The so-called reduction In
meats is fictitious. Its manipulation
was deliberate, jus, rs the increase in
prices was unjust. unreasonable and
uncalled for by conditions prevailing
thruout the country. The prices were
fictitious at the top notch because they
were forced there arbitrarily. Dev-l-
opment will show that the interests are
after some one. It may be some inde-
pendent movement they hope 10 drive
from cover"
IN this connection it is pertinent to
recall that Several OF the big packers
predicted the price decline some days
in advance. They at least seemed 70
know i, was coming, whether by their
will or not
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson also
thinks that the decline is not genuine,
but he takes a more moderate view
than does Wiley. He calls the rsduc-
ton abnormal. He says it is due TO
drouth in the cattle raising country
increasing the cost OF hay. The farmer
with cattle or his hands must pay s35
ton Cor his hay and rather than DO
this teis sending his cattle and sheep
to market. This accounted for the
sudden tumble in prices. says the sec
rotary The tumble is not a. all nor
nal and VIII not a.! be permanent"
continues Mr.. Wilson, but plentiful
corn crop and plenty OF grain will en-
able the farmer to feed freely and We
should ger a LAWYER level Of prices. Low
er prices are certain TO come. provided

ton nor agreen ent to keep them up
You can't escape being struck by the
oddly Of a situation where scarcity
of hay and an abundance Of corn com
bine to produce the same extreme re-
suit. You would sooner look FOR a
neutralizing effect Yet 81 might be
true that a scarcity Of hay IN the hay
country would mako for lower beef
prices by forcing the stock TO market,
and the corn country have like efTec.
because more stock would De prepared
for market.
The facts favor the acce ptance Of an
explanation based on what both Wiley
and Wilson say. The packers are gen
orally believed to have both the power
ard the motive to manipulate. The
shor: hay and long corn reasoning also
seems sound

.ATARRH.
BLOOD DISEASE

catarrh Is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; It 10 .
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part OF
the system are involved: It is more
com monty manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because Of the sensi.
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms OF Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling In the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry. hacking cough. ETC.: show
that the tiny blood vessels Of the mu-
cous membranes are badly congested
and infiamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all mn
healthy matter. Nothing equals
