through the forest seeking food. They
have no property. They are not hunt

merely sufficient nuts. fruits and other
edible growths to keep them alive.
The Kubus wage very little warfare
upon the small amount Of animal life
In their silent and somber land. The
only notion he could get from them Of
q difference between . live and .

Butter Reaches
Highest Prices
in Many Years

An increase of from TO 4 cents per
pound for butter, with a prospect of a
further increase within a week brought
CONSERVATION to the house wives today.
Wholesalers In New York fixed the
price at AZ cents. which means thai in
Manhattan the best butter costs from
so to 80 cents a pound at retail. The
cost is slightly lower in this city, the
prevailing price in the market for the
best butter being 45 cents a pound.
One of the causes given is the pro-
longed cold spell, which has decreased
the output. 1t is also said that the
drought of last summer killed many
cows, with the result that the supply
had been considerably shortened.
Stories are being told of men who are
reaping a rich harvest on account of
the raise in prices. These men took a
chance last summer and bought large
~consignments. selling now at twice the
price they paid.
Produce men say that this is the
highest price the article has reached in
twenty-eight years, with prospects that
it will go higher in a few days.

HEALTH QUESTIONS
AND POLITICS.

An interesting phase of the educa-
ton of the public in health matters is
the attitude of the newspapers, which
are constantly giving more and more
intelligent discussion to health ques.
lions. A hopeful feature of this dis
cussion is the tendency to demand of
public officials, local, state and ma
tional, support of public health move
ments. In a recent editorial in a
Chicago newspaper concerning alder
manic primaries, the attitude of pros.
pective aldermen concerning health
matters is placed first in the discus
sion of the qualifications of an alder
man. 1t is said "a bad alderman
may do more harm than a bad presi-
dent. If your child dies because he
has blocked milk ordinance; if your
family sickens in an epidemic which
an inadequate health inspection has
made possible; if you wear your life
out with bad transportation, bad air.
