Death in both cases was due to un-

mechanism OF the machines. and was
in no way caused by carelessness nor
lack of responsibility of the drivers.

At the Gennett on Saturday, Nov. 4,
matinee and night, A. G.. Delamater
will present the eminent English char
acter actor William Hawtrey and his
company of London players in what
is reputed to be the funniest farce
seen in many years. The title of the
piece is Dear Old Billy" 1t is in three
acts and from the pen of we'll known
English farce writer, w. H. Risque
The English seem to excel in writing
and playing farces, which is borne out
by the unqualified success of such pie
ces as "The Private Secretary" Char
ley's Aunt" and Jane" and the crit
les of Chicago, where Dear Old Billy"
has recently closed an engagement
lasting nearly four months, are unani-
nous in praise of it's laughter-produc-

so been made by the critics on the ex-
cellence of the company assembled by
Mr.. Delamater in the support of Mr..

NOTICE..

1t has been found after thorough
trial of number of months that the
fee of ten cents charged for carrying
passengers to and from Reid Memoir
ial Hospital is not sufficient to cover
the expense Of operating the Automo-
bile, and the charge therefore on and
after November 1st, 1911, will be fiji
teen cents per passenger one way, or
twenty-five cents for round trip. 1t
is not the intention to operate the car
at a profit but to charge only such
an amount as will cover the cost of
operation and maintenance and the
Hospital Authorities believe the pub
lie will heartily cooperate with them
to this end

WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO
LOWER LIVING COST
Marketing Clubs Planned by
Chicago Matrons as Meth
cd for Campaign.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Two hundred
women, delegates for ten thousant
others, scattered through Cook coun
ty, have heard the call to arms for the
war against the cost of living. A cam
paign committee has been named t
confer on plans and report on whether
they should enlist in an army to carr,
on the campaign here.
The agitator was Francis B. Atkin
World Magazine, and he waved the
flag of rebellion against the foot
barons before delegates to the Cool
County League of Womens clubs
meeting at Auditorium hotel
statistics show that women contro
the spending of $4,000. 900. 900 annual
ly in food, fuel. shelter and clothing,
asserted Mr. Atkinson. and two hun
dred pairs of eyes widened percepti
bly,
'Statistics also show" he continued
that 80 per cent OF these women dom,
know anything about the value OF
goods purchased.
What is to be done? We have leg
islation. protestation, agitation. but we
don't have results. The movement
must come from the women organized
to fight for themselves or to have the
organization fight for them Will you
fight?
nd $vvy0 A,1v

Mr.. Atkinson's plan calls for the
formation of marketing clubs all over
the city, one club to one hundred
families. These clubs, he said, are
to be federated SO they can form a
marketing company, and the company
will purchase goods by wholesale and
distribute them to different district
agencies for retail distribution to
members of the clubs.
1T is not an attempt to eliminate
the middleman," he explained. THAT
can not be done. as experiments have
shown. 1t is the elimination of too
many middlemen.
Legislation can never control quali-
ty or prices" said Mr.. Atkinson, "for
every middleman is compelled to do as
his competitor does to hold his trade.
"A big problem in getting good
cold storage foods at reasonable prices
is in the management of the cold stor-
age plant. 1t is not the storage sys-
tenn that results in bad foods coming
out to the consumer, but the fact that
bad food goes into the plant and can't
come out other than bad And the
reason the good goes in bad is be-
cause the poor, miserable consumer
has no system for insuring a better
market for good food than for bad"
A prime feature is to be the en-
ployment of an inspector for each dis
trict who will examine all food before
It is accepted. This is for the bene-
fit of the 80 per cent, who do not
know fresh egg when they see it and
have to rely on the olfactory sense
after the egg is broken.
For their further edification there
will be tables of pure foods" and
poor foods" and brochures on such
subjects as these:
"The Candy We Let Our Chill
lren Eat"
Are We as Particular About Our
Babies Milk as Our Own Beer?"
"The Strange Adventures of the Lit
lie Egg That Went to Market"
Life in the Twilight Zone"
