WHAT SHOULD BE KNOWN.

When Secretary Wilson of the agri-
cultural department was before the
the other day, he said what his depart
ment did not know was why the people
of the District of Columbia should pay
AZ per cent. profit to the man who
cuts and distributes a carcass of
that two-year- cattle on the hoof
were selling for the same price that
they were sold II years ago, and that
while the buyers were paying the
farmers less for veal this year than
last, the price to the consumer had
been increased from 25 to 80 per cent
He said the figures showed that New
York dealers were satisfied with a
prodt of 20 per cent and that in so
cities the profits of the retailers aver
aged IT per cent.
He futfmated to this committee that
the little local trade combinations in
the city of Washington (and that
meant all American cities) were guilty
of the extortion which the buyers
suffered and that these combinations
prevented the consumers from forming
guilds, buying goods at wholesale and
distributing them among themselves
at q lower than the retail price. That
the guilds were formed, but that the
goods because the retailers threatened
a boycott If they did, soithe consumers
were prevented by association from
getting goods at more reasonable
prices
He said the committee had the pow
er to call the heads of these combina-
lions together and to compel them to
reveal their methods of conducting
their business, and he hoped that they
would do 1t.
The whole country does not suffer
excessive charges. Washington is the
dearest city in the country to live in,
and the profits in other cities depend
ed upon the combination and the greed
of those who have the matter in
charge.
From this presentation of the case
it does not look as II the American
citizen had any freedom in purchase
of goods excepting what trade cornbi
nations feel disposed to give him.

THE BUNcO MEN.

1t has been discovered at Boston
that the bunco men of New York have
operated there with bankers and really
been benefited by the thefts which
have been unearthed. The swindler
who plots to lead citizens into traps
for the express purpose of robbing
them and who succeed are just now
being regarded as in the class with
pirates.
The Boston Post, commenting upon
recent exposures, says:
But how about the future treat
ment of the swind1ers? Can it be
possible, as one police official Is said
to have stated, that there is no way
to reach these men criminally? Is
there no such crime as obtaining
money under false pretences, and here
in Boston, where the agreements were
usually made-even If the actual trick
was performed in New York and was
involved in q gambling scheme?
at Is a pretty poor condition of law
we are living under If a band of hnan-
cial pirates can range around the town
tempting sometimes decent men into
their clutches and robbing all, good,
bad and Indifferent
THE Post has no patience with that
theory of offering immunity to crime.
1t believes that the rascals can be
reached somehow; that the district at
torney's office should indict them and
hunt them down We may jeer at the
silly dupes they ffeeced, but il we per-
nit the gang to jeer at the laws and
the people of the commonwealth, it
will be a sorry exhibition of weakness
or worse"
This is q sentiment which should
have the support of every honest man
in any community. 1t is necessary
for the law to protect those who can
not protect themselves whether they
are invalids or dishonest bank clerks.
Any gang of men who live by swind-
ling their fellows ought to find life
hard-not easy.

To Look Taller.

Here are hints for the woman who
would be little taller:
Avoid girdles.
Never under any circumstances wear
a belt of contrasting color. You can
think it gives a smart color note, but
you are wrong.
Let all your lines run up and down.
Do not wear a. yoke OF the square
variety; it shortens you.
Have your gown all of one material,
preferably q light tone.
Wear long gloves and carry q tall
umbrella.
Hold your chin up to lengtllen your
throat line.
Carry your head straight, never tilt
ed to one side. The tilted head is for

Narrow Skirts.

In Paris a few Of the ultra-fashion-
able women and many actresses are
wearing gowns with skirts so narrow
that they sadly lack even a suggestion
of grace.
Corinthian red plano velvet, trimmed
with wide bands of skunk, the skirt
measuring less than yard and half
around the bottom. When the wearer
walked it pulled in at the foot in a
most ungainIy manner.
Why designers build these narrow
skirts is mystery, for they are GER
tainly not pretty, and prove a posi-
tive hindrance TO walking.

A trusting needle can be purchased
at any upholstering house. 1t is about
IL inches long, has three sides on the
point and carries a stout thread for
sewing the fowl together. A darning
needle is too short for the purpose,
though a curved upholstering needle of
darning needle length Is often used.
1t can be inserted from the inside,
without placing the hand inside the
fowl. The loose skin can be drawn
over the neck and held in place with
toothpicks. 1t is q good idea to cross
the tips of the fowls wings right over
the back, then pass the long needle
clear through the fowl. using a long
thread TO hold the wings in place.
When carving turkey. first remove
the wing and leg from one side and
carve the breast into thin slices. II

when again served. Save all turkey
tidbits, mix with mashed potatoes and

BULLETIN
ABOUT ALFALFA

Supt. L. R. Waldron of the Dickin.
son sub-station and Charles J. Brand,
psychologist, bureau of plant indus
try, Washington, D. c., are the joint
authors of bulletin No. 1876, P. P. l.
U. S. department of agriculture. The
subject is alfalfa. Supt. Waldron has
carried on the largest trials with al
falfa in the United States.
The bulletin takes up the different
phases of alfalfa growing. The sub
ject of varieties and winter killing
are given special attention. Prof.
Waldron made the important discov-
cry that if the last cutting was made
early enough so there was a consider
able growth when frost came, the
plants, as a rule, went through the
winter safely. He accounts for it in
that the late growth would pump wa
ter out of the soil and thus cause
the alfalfa to harden up for winter.
He also found out that a thin stand
will kill quicker than a good one. 1t
was found that incubation was nee
essary and that without it there
would be failure no matter how good
the preparation Of the soil.
The proper preparation of the soil
