the matter. That the valuable

question which any benedict

A recently-issued report by 8
packing house calls attention ia
the fact that one reason for the
high price of beef is the slaughter
of calves. In 1911 there were
100000 calves killed i'm the
United States, their average
weight being seventy pounds. If
they had been kept alive for one
year their average weight would
have been about 600 pounds. In
cidentally the increase in weight
would have made beef more plent-
lful, and not improbably cheaper.

One by one the men were falling
