series of burglaries in which small
 amounts of money have been taken
 from half dozen residences at sunny side have been going ofl for some time
 past, and last Friday night the burglar
 or burglars was again active. entering
 two adjoining houses on Phillips ave-
 nue and getting away again without
 leaving any trace, but taking with
 him about SIS in money. a mesh bag
 and 8 pair of gloves. Of the cases
 reported this is the first where any,
 thing but money has been taken, and
 in all cases the amounts have been small.
 It was discovered that last Friday night someone got into the house of Mrs. Arletta E. Gilmore of No. Phil lips avenue. climbing through a win dow over the sink. About $10 in money, mesh bag and a pair of gloves were missing in the morning The home of Robert Dziomba, next door was also entered the same night and about $S secured from two chil- dren's banks. The burglar worked carefully, as there was window through which a view from the street could be obtained into the room where he was rummaging through side board, and he pulled the shade down so that he could not be seen. The two banks were standing on the shelf on the sideboard The intruder opened
 one with a key and removed the mon- ey, but carried the other off entire, as ii had no key.
 The next previous break before these two was on Saturday night, Nov.

and then found that the man had got ten in by prying up a window Ill the parlor with SCn-e iron instrument, after which he had tried another window i'll the sitting room, which became 1am- med after he had partly pried 1t up. All that was taken was $l.3S that was in purse in the pocket of coat III the parlor.
 The intruder had evidently looked around the rooms quite thoroughly and had unlocked the kitchen door.
 The same night of the Phillips bur glary money was taken out Of mliK cans in the, neighborhood.
 Two other residences farther down on Laurel Hill are also reported to have been entered within the last few months. one Of them in the daytime, and small sums of money stolen.
 That the burglar at the Phillips house found no more money in the rooms on the ground floor was because of a burglary committed at the same house on the night of the first Sunday Since then they have been careful about leaving money in the rooms downstairs.
 In the January burglary entrance was gained to the house through a rear window in the sitting room and he got the money from two pocketbooks which were in drawer in a desk in the room. The pocketbooks were care fully emptied and then closed again and snapped shut and put back into the desk drawer so that the burglary might have gone undiscov cred for some time but for the fact that a pen ny was found on the floor beside a coat which had been knocked off the chair on which 1t had been hanging and had marks to show where someone had walked on the coat The window was found unlocked and the kitchen 1 door was also found unlocked. A box of cigars was stolen from one of the drawers in the desk at the same time As the family had all retired about il o'clock, they know the burglar made his visit after that time.

THANKSGIVING DINNER
 OUR MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL.
Heat, Drought, Cold Storage and the Hen All Have to Shoulder the Blame.

Washington, Nov 27.-Thanksgiving dinner will be the most expensive meal the average American has aeten dur ing the last 25 years. It will cost from 35 to 100 per cent. more than it did 10 years ago, and from 15 to 20 per cent more than any Thanksgiving day during the last six years, accord ing to recently gathered government statistics
 Thousands of turkeys spoiled by having been shipped to market during the unseasonably warm wave which overSpread the country a week ago; the drought of last summer, which shortened crop yields, particularly white potatoes; an alleged cold storage AlcReynolds Is now Investigating to find if millions of dozens of eggs and millions of pounds of dairy products have been withheld from the market by middlemen to force high prices, and the steady soaring of prices generally during the last decade, are among the contributing causes to which econo- mists point
 The great American hen, however, is somewhat responsible for the extra
 ordinarily high price of eggs, accord
 ing to department of agriculture off,
 cials, who are reluctant to place all the blame upon cold storage. Heat and
 drought of the last summer, they say,
 caused the hens to stop laying sooner
 than usual.
 Turkey Unreasonable, Say Experts.
 As to turkey, the rise in price seems to have extended all along the route to the consumer, beginning at the barn yard, where the farmer received an average of 15 cents a pound for his
 birds about a half cent more than he got last year. But turkey is not a Thanksgiving bird at all. according to 1 experts.
 The Lord never intended turkey to
 be the Thanksgiving food for the coun- try generally" says Dr. Mary E.. Pen nington, the expert in food research in the federal bureau of chemistry. Christmas is the time for turkey. Green goose is the Thanksgiving bird, and is generally used in Europe where St. Martins day is celebrated about this time of year. In colonial days in New England, where the winter season sets in early 1t was different and moro favorable to turkeys, but such condi- tions do not prevail over the United States as a whole"
 Advance All Along the Line. The family which turns from turkey l to chicken pork or beef will find prices uniformly advanced. Hens show an l average increase of eight cents a 1 pound; pork, two to eight cents; rib roasts, two to ten cents. Sweet pota- l toes are about the same price as last | year, but a white potato crop 100, 000,- l 000 bushels below last years and dan l gerous plant diseases abroad, which 1 have checked imports, have forced an
 increase here. Apples, oranges and ] grapes are scarce because of a short crop. Cranberries with a normal crop | are a little higher than last year. Flour | and sugar are uniformly cheaper, and 1 butter shows no comparative advance
 Eggs at Higher Prices Everywhere. Eggs, however, from incomplete re-
 cities, show increases ranging from 2 i to A cents a dozen over last years prices.
