Packer Disputes U. S.
Meat Price Table.

Here's the packers view of the
Government estimate of the cost Of
living in Atlanta:
Il do not believe the cost of meats
is any higher in Atlanta than in anv
other city in the United States of the
same size" says F. O. Miller, manager
OF the Atlanta branch of Swift & Co.
Il am free to say, too, that until I
am convinced otherwise l will cher
ish the suspicion that the Government
figures as quoted in the table of prices
published Wednesday are wrong in
many instances.
"One thing is correct-I believe
Boston does pay more for beef than
any other city in the United States.
That is, the average Bostonian pays
more for his sirloin than the average
Chicagoan. The answer is that Bos-
ton now uses. and always has used,
the best grades of beef obtainable
Boston uses export beef, the fanciest
stuff killed. The pork and beans
metropolis has a reputation among
packers as being the most choosey'
market for beef in the world
How these Government figures
were compiled is a mystery to me
You won't catch a man who is an
expert on meats saying that sirloin is
so many cents a pound. He might
say sides from Fort Worth OF a GER
20 ", u-a{ubr and q cart in uyaSa Ypara
worth so much. On the other hand
beef from Kansas City or from Chi
cago will cost more, and there are
many grades from each center.
"Atlanta's freight. of course, gov
ems prices here. There may have
been a time when an average rate
was struck in a sort of haphazard
way and all points were charged on
that basis. Nowadays we compute
the freight on every piece of beef and
add 1t to the actual cost OF the meat.
So small a difference as cents a
hundred in a freight rate is COM
puted.
you may rest assured, though, that
the difference is due mostly to the
grade Of beef
"One grocer buys a pork loln Which
| will cut into small fancy chops. And
he sells to a trade which demands
that the account be carried on the
books for a month, perhaps three
months. Another grocer buys a loin
which cuts into big, heavy chops.
He sells for cash money HIS meat
costs him less. His expenses are less.
His risk is almost nothing. He can
sell cheaper. Of course.
Then comes the Government inves-
tigator In the report, all pork chops
look alike You can't tell thing by
such figures.
Il see Boston is supposed to quote
butter, retail at 80 cents, and New
York at 81 cents, while Atlanta quotes
40 cents.
That can't be right. We sell a
world Of fancy table butter. All but
ter prices are computed on the basis
of the Elgin or New York board. The
freight must be added. Butter is sold
OF the narrowest OF profits. A 10-cent
discrepancy between Atlanta, say, and
New York or Boston is impossible
always supposing the stuff to be OF
the same grade. Perhaps like beef
and pork chops, all butter looks alike
to the Government investigator"

kEHBRO'S HERP|c|DE
SAVES THE HAIR
And Keeps You Looking
Young

Don't look older than you are. 1t is
just as easy to look younger. While
lack of hair or poor h air is not always
an indication of age, it is frequently
accepted as such.
A person we'll advanced in years pos
sessing good head Of hair is always
spoken of as "well preserved.''
Everyone can retain beautiful, lux.
uriant hair if they make the effort. IL
almost every instance poor hair or the
loss of hair may be traced to the activ-
ity Of the dandruff germ. Newbro's
Herpicide prevents the scale-like ac-
emulation and puts the scalp il per-
fectly healthy condition. With the
elimination of the dandruff the hair no
longer drops out. The itching of tho
scalp stops almost st once.
Neabro's Herpicide is the remedy
for which there are many substitutes,
preparations claimed to be "just as
good" You don't have to accept
substitute. Insist upon having genuine
Herpicide.
