The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-01-17

How to live, is problem these
days that has lined the comely
face of many wife with the
wrinkles of anxiety and colored
the hair of the husband with the
gray tint of despair.
The syndicates or rather skin
debates, operating under the
name of trusts, have got hold on
most of LIES necessities and are
in a position to dictate prices and
they exhibit no false modesty in
placing them good and high.
The National Pure Food Mag
azine recently printed the follow
ing:
"A retail price list in 1879, was
found by a grocer at Watkins,
: Pa, which give the following in
terestlng quotations:
Gully, 1897
Retail price per lb. butter 10
cents; cheese, 7 cents; dried APP
pies, Q cents; live chickens, 7
cents; sirloin steak, IL cents por-
terhouse steak, IL cents; round
steak, 10 cents; shoulder steak,
8 cents; roasts, 6 to g cents;
dressed chickens, 10 cents; pork,
7 cents; pork shoulder, 7 cents;
ham, IL cents; eggs, per dozen,
IL cents. And other prices in
proportion.
The egg story of today is 40
cents or more a"dozen. Charles
Borden, president of the butter
and eggs board said actual mar
ket conditions were responsible

the rise or fall of the mercury in
thermometers.
An so it goes all along down
the line. The Elgin Butter
Boards defiance of the govern
ment's trust investigators came
recently in the form of the high
est price ever fixed by that body
40 cents pound for butter.
This action by the price-hxing
body means that the consumer
who buys butter in Chicago today
will be compelled to pay so cents,
possibly more. The only re-
course is to do without.
The reason given by the butter
men for this 4cent boost in the
wholesale price of butter is that
the cold weather has caused the
cows to cease giving their normal
output of milk.
The actual reason, given at
their afternoon meeting, however,
was that a committee reported
that the market would stand"
for the increase of price. So it
was Immediately voted into eff
feet. rr
This time last year the price of
butter fixed by this board was 27
cents pound. The only prece-
dent for yesterdays high price is
that which was maintained for
one day in 1888. The price
charged for creamery butter was
Al cents on Nov. 26 of that year.
1t was not fixed by that board,
however.

YALE-HARVARD BllT|RACEs

New London. June 2l.-New Lon
don is swathed in crimson and blue
bunting and banners, and filled to
overlooking with visitors attracted by
the annual rowing regatta between the
Harvard and Yale crews. The observa-
ton cars were filled with spectators
hours before the time set for the first
race and the banks of the Thames are
lined with people.
The freshman race is the first on
the program and will be rowed up
stream for two miles from the railroad
bridge to the navy yard. The varsity
four-oared event will follow the con.
clusion Of the freshman contest. and
will also be rowed upstream for two
miles.
The eightoared four-mie varsity
race, the big event of the day, is sched-
uled to start at o'clock this after
noon and will be rowed down stream
The start will be opposite Red Top
and the finish at the bridge which
marks the end of the four-mile course.
While thousands of people arrived
by train last night and this morning,
perhaps the majority of the visitors
came by automobile and yacht. and
New London is fairly cluttered up with
motor ears this morning, while the
smell of gasoline pervades the air.
The river is lined with yachts, motor
boats and every other conceivable
sort of craft for miles along the
course.

CIVIC LEAGUE COLUMN

Wednesday, July 3, is the regular
meeting day for the Civic League.
Hot sunshine will kill out the dis
ease germs, and destroy mosquitoes
and flies if we destroy their breeding
places by cutting the weeds
One of the many strangers who
has recently come to Bryan and will
make this city his home said to a
member of the Civic Leagde yester-
day: Bryan is a fine town, progress
sive in her business, her literary and
social life, but she is three years be-
hind herself when it comes to her
streets and sidewalks" Those of us
who have lived here for the past ten
or twenty years know this to be the
truth.
Let us continue with patience the
persistent battle against the house fly
and the mosquito. The recent rains
have made it necessary to increase
cur efforts along this line, for in some
places in Bryan the flies are some
thing terrible. Because the house fly
is such common pest and we have
become accustomed to it, We some
times fail to realize the real danger
OF these purveyors of disease and
filth. AS a matter of education along
this line we reprint the following from
the Western Review: THE house Il"
exists only through the liberation of
men-a federation which, were 1t not
ignorant, would be criminal The
house fly is the most terrible single
enemy that mankind has among living
creatures. Beasts of the jungle have
slain their thousands, but this prowler
in the household has slain his tens OF
thousands. OF all vermin he is the
most filthy; of all purveyors of dis
ease the most deadly. The house fly
is born in offal--nowhere else. The
manure pile and the cesspool are his
home. 1t is from these haunts that
he comes to visit the kitchen, the
dining room and the nursery. He drags
Ills filthy feet across the bread, dips
them in the butter, wipes them on the
meat and bathes in the milk. He
seeks out the sckroom and sips the
eXcretions of the consumptive, the
typhoid fever patient and the child
with summer complaint Swat the
fly!
The chairmen of all committees APP
pointed by the president of the Civic
League at the June meeting will bel
called on for a report at the meeting
of the league on Wednesday, July 3.
An interesting program is being pre-
pared for the Civic League meeting on
Wednesday, July 3. The business SEES
sion will be called to order promptly
at ) o'clock in the club rooms at Car
negie Hall and the president is eX-
ceedingly anxious that every woman
in Bryan be present. A cordial invita-
ton is hereby extended, and your pres
ence is urgently requested. Come and
help Bryan.
Don't you know that the weeds are
just thriving wonderfully since the re-
cent rains?
Bryan's lawns are beginning to at
tract attention, and are receiving
much favorable comment.
When you pass along the street by
