Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE six sections
of the International Congress and Elk
position of Refrigeration arranged
their temporary organizations, today,
preparatory to a week of discussion of
the most modern means of preserving,
conserving and transporting foods.
The discussion and arguments on
the problems of refrigeration will be-
gin, tomorrow.
The cost of living and means of re-
ducing it were discussed by DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, former chief of the
chemistry division of the department
of agriculture. The rising price OF
food is not due solely to it's scarcity
he said There never was time
when man was so well fed as at the
present time. We do not have to look
far to see the causes of the increased
cost of food.
First, people are eating better foods
than ever before and second the pur-
chasing medium, namely gold, is rela-
lively far more abundant than ever
before. hence the quantity of food II
will purchase is decidedly less. The
great staples, the cereals. however
are not SO expensive at the present
time as during the past

Problems of Preserving Our
Food Discussed at Chicago.

Which are of less necessity and of in-
creasingly higher price.
ITO my mind it seems the most i'm
portant factor of the day is to check
the aggregation of men in the cities
and to encourage the development of
the great Industries where men are
employed.
The factory in a farm neighborheod
is boom to every farmer, affordinG
MIN a home market and saving the
cost of transportation. The moral and
mental effect upon the people of a
distribution of industries is no less i'm
portant The saloon has no compeil-
ing attraction for the laboring man
who after his eight hours of work,
has eight hours for his flower and
vegeta BILE garden. If our productive
industry in a manufacturing line were
pr6 perly distributed the alcohol evil
would be robbed of most of its terrers
The unfortunate condition now ex-
lists of providing so-called fresh foods
in an advanced state of staleness and
of prevailing foods which should be
properly aged in immature state.
The cured ham is ready for distribu-
ton with three weeks of slaughter and
the four year old whiskey is made in
40 seconds"
The proper methods of distribution
foods so as to make seasonal excuses
and efilciences less marked, DR.. Wiley
said was to extend the seasons for
fresh foods by proper methods of pro-
duction and by intelligent and proper
preservation of food products.

dicament afforded unconcealed amuse-

speeches on the Democratic side. An
amendment by Foss of ohio, design
ed to maintain all legal money at g
parity and insure the retention OF th2
gold standard, caused all the troupie.
Some Democrats protested to sec
in it a revival of the old issue OF bi-
metallsm and openly charged that
the committee in endorsing such an
amendment was offering gratuous
insult to four hfths of the Demo-
cratic party. That issue. they point
ed out, was settled, Is years ago. Rep.

troubled waters only to have them
stirred again a moment later by KEEP.

amendment could do no harm and
might do good that that it was time
for Democrats forget what was be-
hind and reckon with what was be-
