Many men and women will find to their
surprise, during the next 80 DAYS, that
they can subsist without meat.
This lesson will be, perhaps, one Of the
most valuable that will be Taught by the
campaign now under way to abstain from
eating meat
The American housewife has TO learn
that but little meat is needed on the Bill
OF fare unless the members of her house
hold engage in hard physical labor.
She will learn that many toothsome and
nourisiling dishes may be prepared from
vegetables and fruits.

states, the municipalities and the
homes Of the people. No check ap.

MEAT PRICES ADVANCE,
Increased Cost Of Living Extends To
All Parts Of the World.

WASHINGTON, March T. Meat
prices have advanced in all the prin.
cipal consuming and producing sec.
tions of the world, according to statis-
tics compiled by the dep artment of
commerce and labor.
The report shows the chief meat ex.
porting countries to be Australia, New
Zealand, Argentina, Canada and the
United States; the chief meat import
ing countries, the United Kingdom,
Germany aud, In q less degree, the
European countries.
The advance In fresh meat prices is
less than In salt and preserved meats
and in nearly all cases the advance in
beef is less than that in pork or NUT.
ton. The fact that the percentage of
advanced price of fresh meats, especi.
ally those shipped in chilled or frozen
state. has not been az great as the
advance in salted or preserved meats,
is said to be due to reductions in the
past few years in the cost of chilling
or freezing and of transporting meats
of this class.
The advance In mutton IL regarded as
due to the comparatively slow growth
10 the worlds supply of sheep. Some
OF the statistics obtained by the de-
psrtment are: From Austr ALA in the
of beef preserved by cold process
the export price advanced from 1925
per hundred pounds in 1889 to $40 in
1908; mutton and lamb from %. 81 per
hundred pounds in 1899 to e6.47 in
1908, an advance of about 3 per cent
on beef and nearly 10 per cent In the
price of mutton and lamb.
In Argentine the export price Of
frozen beef in 1897.99 was Sl.75 per
hundred pounds and 1900-1908 %. 50.
