The LADY of the White Butterflies.

The twitter of swallows in the caves

and after | had taken dip in the
creek | still seemed to be sole pro-
prietor of the world, so quiet lay field
and woodland. I followed the lake
shore to fishermen's camp, where II

and no questions asked. | smoked a
pipe with the fishermen to kill time,
and it was still but trifie after six
o'clock when / started for Red Gate.
A line of sycamores 200 yards to my
right marked the bed of the Tippeca,
noe; and on my left hand, beyond a
walnut grove, a little filmy dust-cloud
hung above the hidden highway.
thrust my cap into my jacket pocket
and stood watching the wind crisp the
flowers. Then my attention wandered
to the mad antics of squirrel thai

some important questions of human

that he was not abroad at this hour

me that we were on different sides OF
the matter. My WEAKNESS fell from
me like a cloak, as the events OF the

WHAT THE TARIFF COSTS Us.
(New York WOrld.)
On Meats and Poultry.

I
Every cent added to the price OF
meat and poultry is a hardship. Yet
the tariff puts one and one-haIf cents
per pound on fresh beef, veal, mutton,
lamb. pork and venison and other
game, except birds. On prepared and
preserved meats it puts a tax of %
per cent. Of their value. On bacon ana
hams it puts four cents a pound On
lard i puts one and one-half cenf5 a
pound On live poultry it puts three
cents a pound and on dead poultry five
cents a pound
To these taxes TIE importer must
add a profit, so that the tariff costs
our consumers the duty plus the profit
on the money paid as duty.
Much Canadian and Mexican poultry
and some of their meats would come
into the country to make cheaper food
but for these taxes; and meats on the
hoof in cold storage and preserve
would come from South America ana
Australia. We put these taxes on this
foreign food not to benefit ourselves
but to protect" our Meat Trust
Our Meat Trust built up it's monor-
oily out Of transportation favors from
the railroads 1t obtained the privi,-
eye of sending lines of livestock and
refrigerator cars over the main rail-
road lines to the disadvantage and al
times to the practical exclusion oi
competing livestock and refrigerator
cars. This puts the cattle-raisers OF
the great cattle-raising region of the
! United States-the West-at the trust
mercy. And since the trust thus com
manded the source of supply it had
the retail butchers all over the country
at its mercy.
In this way it could force down the
price of cattle when it was buying and
put up the price of meat when it was
selling.
If any city butcher should undertake
to get his meat from an independent
wholesaler he would find himself at
tackled in variety of ways and driven
out of the business by the Meas crust
If a country butcher should buy an oc-
casional calf or pig from a neighboring
farmer he would find the trust refus-
ing to sell him anything whatever.
And so any temporary bringing in of
and paying the duty on poultry or
meats from abroad when the Meat
Trusts prices are extraordinarily high
must be fraught with peril to any re-
tail butcher or poultry-dealer handling
them, as the Meat Trust must mos,
certainly visit it's displeasure upon him
by refusing supplies when normal
prices are reestablished and it is i'm
possible to import foreign meats AMI
poultry.
So that it must be plain to the dull
est what the Meat Trust, sheltered by
the tariff, costs us.

A PLEA FOR HUMANITY.

The strong plea that the Georgia
Federation of Women's Clubs is MAX
ing in their efforts to get the general
assembly to appropriate $4,000 for the
present year and the same amount for
next year to conduct a department of
work for women through the State
College of Agriculture, is well worthy
Of consideration.
The gist Of the plea is that the work
is one of prevention. which will make
unnecessary a large part of the ont
lay now made for the cure of the
troubles, which, it is claimed, may be
obviated by this preventive expendi-
ture The small appropriation of So
900 will add to the State College of Ag-
riculture the services of two experts
on domestic science, sanitation and by
giene. Instructions are to be given by
these experts at the regular sessions
Of the farmers Institutes held by the
representatives of the state institution.
When one considers the single mat
ter OF wretched sanitation that is seen
so often in many Of the country home.
OF the state especially, the sanity and
good sense that has actuated the in
auguration Of this movement on the
part Of the women of Georgia, becomes
readily apparent This work is en-
tirely in harmony with the national
and international movements that are
being made to eradicate the harmful
fly and to alleviate the suffering and
prevent the spreading of tuberculosis.
There are thousands of homes through
out the state where there is untoIa
suffering on account of the fact that
the parents need simple instruction
in lhe elementary principles of SANTA
ton and hygiene.
The basis of the work to be under
taken, in case the appropriation can
be secured, is elementary instruction
in domestic science. sanitation and by
giene The amount of disease that il
caused by the i'll preparation Of food
alone, if it could be reduced to stats
tics, would be appalling Our statistic
ians cannot tabulate tie deaths that
come from this source, and the I'M
thinking are likely to pass the matter
bE with a sheer, because of this fact
