Would Eliminate Small Stores.

As another means OF reducing the re-
tail prices II was recommended that the
present small stores selling TO an aver
age Of p persons each, should be re-
placed bv larger stores. each serving
about 500 people. with ample storage
on the premises. II was not an increased
profit 90 the dealers. but the large ex-
pense in the distribution OF food-the ex-
pense OF this operation amounting 10 10
per cent In wholesale and 10 about 50
per cent IN retal-which was responsible
for the higher cost Of living. and the
Quickest relief could be brought TO the
public by efTecting economies in the cost
Of distributing foodstuffs.
After an examination Of all the dis
uibuting agencies Of New York City the
committee reached the conclusion that
the large retail unit or food department
store buying and receiving directly and
selling directly. was the best economic
type in point OF efficiency minimum OF
waste. satisfactory distribution and due
rewards for management and capital
Toward the development of such stores
tie committee advocated that retailers,
wholesalers and private organizations
should direct their efforts. To compen-
safe the public for the neglect which
the municipal marketing has suffered in
comparison with all the other public in
terests taken care of by the municipal
government, the committee recommended
an amendment 70 the charters OF the
various cities OF the state 10 provide for

the economic and sanitary supervision Of
food supplies in each municipality. This
department. should be further charged.
the report said, with the duty Of publish
ing accurate statements Of market needs
and prices and TO send them 10 producers
Of food supplies so that they might be
protected from extortion.
City Sales to Fix Prices.
Wholesale prices, the committee found
should be fixed 10y systematic auction
als in lots suitable for purchase by
reulers. Such auction sales should Dc
eonducted under the auspices Of the city
or Of a public organization without any
view to profit, so that all parties inter
ested could have voice and this transac-
ton on primary prices would constitute
e producers and consumers market.
This system has been practised success
fully in foreign metropolitan markets
the report said
Having adopted as a guiding principle
the elimination Of all that tended to the
unnecessary delay Of food products in
transit such as multiplied transfers
which must increase the ultimate cost OF
the ,loduct TO the consumer, the com
mittec expressed itself opposed to munich
pal markets, which might impose on the
community heavy fixed charges and be
Incapable Of changing with altered con-
ditlons Of population and habits. The his
tory OF public markets In New York City
was held out as q warning example.

DO CHRISTMAS THINKING
EARLY.

Every one is talking about giving
presents and everybody is wondering
what will be given to them, so that
the holidays are resolved into time
of gifts and ceaseless shopping, when
nearly every one gets tired and cross!
Isn't it pity to get cross around
Christmas. when it is meant TO be joy
full and happy? This can all be avoid
ed easily by doing your Christmas
thinking early-doing it now and no
later-deciding what gifts you are to
give. to whom you are going 10 give
them and planning just when you are
going to buy them and where. Then
write all this in little notebook or
on a piece Of paper and try TO abide
by il.
Doing ones Christmas shopping
early is a good rule to follow. but if
ones Christmas thinking is not done
early we are not only a nuisance to
Yourselves but to the clerks who have
to try and please us when they are SO
tired and so rushed.

PETER PIPER I'M -RACkETTY HOUSE." TO BE
PL AYEp AT THE cHLDRE THEATRE ON THE ROOF OF
THEATRE.

The cricket takes part I'm the orchestra:
the nightingale plays first flute: tiny
sylphs. escaped from the pea flower, hold
violoncclli cut out of lemon rind between
their pretty legs, whittier than ivory, ana
with sturdy strokes ply bows made from
Titania's eyelash over strings of spiders
thread The beetle-conductor's little old
fashioned wig trembles with pleasure,
scattering luminous dust. so sweet Is
the harmony, so well played the over
ture.
The scenery reveals country less
known than America before her discov-
cry. In the background. against the
green-blue sky, little trees spread their
scattered foliage of old-rose colo-ed
leaves The distance, instead of fading
I'm an azure mist, is of the most beautiful
apple green. A stray beam OF light halSs
across the facade OF a ruined temple or
clings to the spire of a tower Little
towns full of steeples, pyramids, domes,
arches and walls sit on the hillsides ( nd
gaze at their reflections in crystal lakes.
The large trees have leaves deeply denied
by fairies scissors, and from every open
ing between them fash the eyes or hid
den dwarfs and gnomes. Their twisted
roots dig into the earth like the fingers
OF giants hand. A green woodpecker
taps their branches rhythmically with his
horny beak, and emerald lizards bask on
the moss at their feet. Like silver snakes
through the long grass wind brooks made
of the tears of sta at bay; and, far on,
daisies carry their heads high in air.

II was tiny little house. but every
thing in it was so clean and neat and ele-
CANT that it is beyond description. In the
middle of the room stood a small table
covered with a snow-white tablecloth,
ready for supper. on II were arranged
seven little plates, seven little spoons,
seven little knives and forks and seven
mugs. BY the wall stood seven little
beds. near each other, covered with white
quilts.
Poor Snow-white, who was hungry and
thirsty, ate few vegetables and a little
bread from each plate, and drank a little
drop of wine from each cup. for she did
not like TO take all she wanted from one
alone. After this, feeling very tired. she
thought she would lie down and rest on
one of the beds. but she found II difficult
TO choose one TO suit her. one was too
long, another too short. so she tried them
all TIL she came to the seventh, and that
was SO comfortable that she laid herself
down and was soon fast asleep.
When il was quite dark the masters OF
the house came home. They were seven
little dwarfs, who dug and searched In
the mountains for minerals. First they
lighted seven little lamps. and as soon as
the room was full Of light they saw that
some one had been there, for everything
did not stand in the order in which they
had left it.
Then said the first "Who has been sit
ting In my little chair
The second exclaimed: who has been
eating from my little plate?'
The third cried: "Some one has taken
part Of my bread"
who has been eating my vegetables"
said the fourth.
Then said the nth Some one has used
my fork"
The sixth cried: And who has been
cutting with my knife?'
"And some one has been drinking out OF
my cup" said the seventh.
Then the eldest looked at his bed. and
seeing that it looked tumbled, cried out
that some one had been upon 1t. The
others came running forward and said
Some one has been In mine" But when
the seventh approached his bed and saw
Snow-white lying there fast asleep he
called the others, who came quickly, and,
holding their lights over their heads, cried
out in wonder as they beheid the sleeping
child. "Oh, what a beautiful little child -
they said to one another and were so de-
lighted that they would not awaken her,
but left her to sleep as long as she liked
| in the little bed, while its owner slept
with one Of his companions. and so the
night passed away.
In the morning when Snowwhite awoke
and saw all the dwarfs, she was terribly
| frightened. But they spoke kindly TO her
and asked her name.
II am called Snow-white." she replied.
"But how came you to our house?'
asked one.
Then she related to them all that had
happened. How her stepmother had sent
her into the wood with the hunter, who

A HYACINTH BULB.

pointed white tips. Do you know what
these are for? Well, / will tell you.
But first / must not forget TO say that
as soon as the little white tips begin TO
show the plant should be brought grad
ually to the light, afterward giving It
plenty of light, air and perhaps little
sunshine, but not too much.
Not all hyacinths are grown in water;
some of them grow in pots OF earth or in
boxes Of earth, and often outdoors. When
the bulb starts to grow underground the
leaves want TO get out where the sun
shine is, and they use their little sharp
ends to cut through the ground.
Now, if you will look very closely you
will see the little buds In the open space
between the leaves. After the leaves get
TO be quite big. and almost stop growing,
the stalk upon which the buds grow keeps
on growing, until it gets TO be much
taller than the leaves. Then the buds
open into beautiful red or pink or blue or
white and fill the atmosphere with their
fragrance.
There are many other plants like these
that grow from bulbs. They are called
Dubious plants. And they are all very
interesting to raise in the winter, for they
will grow with very little care in the
house.
Some Of the other Dubious plants are
called narcissus, crocus, llies-of- the-yaA-
ley. freesias and tube roses They are all
very beautiful, and every one loves the
flowers they help TO grow better than the
ones that they can buy In shops. Why
do you suppose?

ne is dainty violet, on tiptoe between
two blades Of grass, opens her blue eyes
wide to see the hero go by.
The people are Of no particular time or
place they do not eat or drink, they
live nowhere, have no occupations; they
possess no land, no houses; only some
times they carry under their arms a little
case full of diamonds as large as pigeons
eggs. In walking they never shake a
single rain drop from the flowers petals,
nor stir a single grain OF dust upon the
roads.
Their clothes are the most fantastic In
the world. Hats, pointed like steepies
with brims as wide as a Chinese parasol;
breeches puffed and swelling like bal
looms: scarlet stockings, high-heeled shoes,
slim little swords point in air, hilt down.
covered with silks and ribbons-such is
the mems attire.
