only be remembered as exaggerated instances of perverted imagination.
 Tt has been said that I have urged the reciprocity agreement with the idea of lowering the cost of living and then have asserted that the farmers would be injured by reduction in prices at which they sell their products It is asked. Is it possible to reduce the cost of living and maintain the present price of farm prOducts? My own impression is that the cost of farm products is determined by the worlds supply and not by local conditions, tariff or oth- erwise. and that so long as the move ment toward manufacturing and away from the farm continues and the sup ply of farm labOrers is kept up. the high prices for farm products are in evitable But I do not think reciprocity will enlarge the supply of farm pro- ducts for our people and thus prevent undue enhancement of prices beyond the present standard"

At the time the last election was called about one year and three months had elapsed since the earlier election.

 Another matter disposed Of yester- day was the case of the city of PhOe- nix against the Consolidated Tele- graph and Telephone company for the collection of taxes of last year.

K. [. STREET RAILWAY
 IN RECEIVERS HANDS
The Metropolitan Carried Too Heavy
 Load.

Kansas City, June 3.-Upon applica- ton of John NJ. Egan, president of the Railway company of this city it was placed in the hands of receivers here today.
 J. ogden Armour of Chicago is a heavy stockholder in the company. Enough stock is controlled by Armour, it is understood. for him to control the organization. The receivership is not due to the failure of the street car company to make money at the pres ent time.
 Last year the net profits amounted to more than s1,0OO, 900. This amount was not enough, however, to pay the interest on the outstanding indebted ness of the company and make the ex- tensions required by the city fran chise.

Brewery Beer Bottling Best.

Do you know that a table beer above all others, should be bottled at the brewery? The empty bottles can then be properly washed, rinsed and sterlized and the filled bottles pas teurize1. Brewery bottling means purity-absolute purity; it means a uniform product; it means the posi- tive preservation of every good quali- ty. Jacob Ruppert's famous New York beers and ales are bottled ex- custvely at the Ruppert brewery bot ting plant, the largest plant of its kind in the east. They are bottled un- der the most approved hygenic con- ditions with rigid regard for strict sanitation by skilled workmen. At the Ruppert plant every bottle is washed in four changes of filtered water, rinsed and sterilized. About 75,000 gallons of filtered water is consumed daily. The machinery em- ployed is the most modern of it's kind ever invented, and not once from the time of brewing until served does the beer come in contact with the air. Tn buying Rupperts brewery bottled beers you are assured of a product that is positively pure; a beer deliv- cred to your table uncontaminated. Have you a case of it in your home :? If not, telephone 577 or mail your order to the Bridgeport branch, E. M. Christie. manager, 215 Housa- tonic avenue.
