NEW YORK. Sept. ia dozen

capped in Mexico. Mrs. Lillian Con

Retailers Deny Their
Profit Margin Is High.

Atlanta can not blame the high cost
Of living on the retail merchants, In
the opinion Of leading wholesalers.
Retailers in Atlanta are not charg-
ing an excessive margin OF profit,
saws w, A Albright, vice president of
the Oglesby Grocery Company Some
few Of them, by the closest possible
management and the most conserva-
tive business methods, are making
money. More are not.
q do not think prices here are ex-
cessive, considering what things cost
by the time they arrive in the city.
The cost of doing business, retail, has
Increased possibly 100 per cent in a
quarter century in Atlanta Rents
are much higher. The public de-
mands cleaner, more attractive stores.
Though probably worth it, it costs
money to keep an immaculate gro
Gerry. Expensive fixtures mean great
" increased investment.
Then there is the matter of de-
livery In the old days a negro

he used bicycle Then came the
smart looking wagon. Now it is the

livery wagon is as cheap as the horse.

Baltimore Widow Begs Mayor to

Mayor Woodward Friday called at
tentiOn to a pathetic letter from a
woman in Baltimore who is searching
for her aged father lost to her for
81 years. Mayor Woodward receives
many letters from persons in distress
from all parts of the country. but this
one impressed as such an unusual
one that he consented to allow it to
be published. 1t follows:
Mayor of Atlanta: VIII you please

the name of Jacob f. Harvey. and if
he is living or dead
IF he is dead, let me know Just

he has been dead, and if he left any
money.
He is about "a years old if he is

MOORE SCORES FREIGHT
RATES; CHARGES FAIL TO
EXPLAIN HIGH FOOD COST

"Atanta's freight rates are too high
an along the line" says Harry T.
Moore. head of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau. and before the Interstate
Commerce Commission now is a case
in which we hope for a favorable de
cision, which will cut practically all
freight rates into the city.
The rate on flour from Ohio River
points, for instance, is As cents a bar
rel. With this kind of rate, flour
ought TO be cheaper in Chicago than
here"
Some Facts Not Explained.
Atlanta's freight rates, however, do
not explain some of the differences in
the price of various commodities
mentioned in the Government statis-
tics which tend to prove Atlanta one
Of the most expensive cities for the
housekeeper in the United States.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau. for
instance. quotes the rate on fresh
beef as So cents per 100 pounds from
Chicago to Atlanta. This is combi-
nation Of a 17-cent rate to Cincin-
natl. the river crossing, and as cents
from the Ohio River to Atlanta.
Range in Butter Peculiar.
Yet the Governments figures show
the average price of sirloin is a half
cent higher in Cincinnati than in At
lanta, and the average price Of round
steak is Is cents in Cincinnati, against
30 cents in Atlanta, Atlanta paying.
be it remembered, something more
than a half cent pound freight in
excess Of Cincinnati.
More peculiar is the range Of price
on butter The Government quotes
butter as selling at AZ cents in Gin
cinnati and 40 cents in Atlanta. The
freight rate on butter from Chicago
and the Elgin district to Atlanta is
S1S2 per hundredweight. To Cincin-
natl it is "a cents. Atlanta, then, Is
paving almost a cent more in freight
on every pound of butter, and selling
II 2 cents cheaper than Cincinnati.
Getting Less for Meats.
Atlanta, according to the Govern
ment figures. is selling ham cheaper
than Chicago. whence most Of that
meat comes. Yet Atlanta pays As
cent rate on cured meats from Chi
cago. Cincinnati, with a 12-cent rate.
is supposed to be charging II cents
more per pound
Examination of the freight rates
actually seems to show that Atlanta
is getting less for its meats than cit
les with cheaper freights which only
Increases the puzzle.

KIDNEY AND BLADDER
TROUBLES DISAPPEAR
Chronic Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses of Croxone.

If You are bothered with back
aChe-or rheuma tism, have dis
agreeable. annoying bladder or
urinary disorders TO contend with
or suffer with any other of the
many miseries that come from
weak kidneys, here is a guaran-
teed remedy you can depend upon.
1t is a positive fact that Crox-
one promptly overcomes such dis
eases.
1t Soaks right in and cleans out
the stopped up kidneys and makes
them filter and sift out the poison
Gus waste matter from the blood.
1t neutralizes and dissolves the
uric acid that lodges in the joints
and muscles, causing rheuma tism,
soothes and heals the delicate lin
ings of the bladder
More than a few doses of CroX-
one are seldom required to relieve
even the obstinate, long standing
cases.
You will find Croxone entirely
different from all other remedies.

Packer Disputes U. S.
Meat Price Table.

Here's the packers view Of the
Government estimate of the cost of
living in Atlanta:
I do not believe the cost of meats
is any higher in Atlanta than in any
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
am convinced otherwise, ! 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 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
"a IL, vuaight otd q rartoir yrodo ,.ar.
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 time when an average rate
was struck in a sort of hapha zard
way and all points were charged on
that basis. Nowadays we compute
the freight on every piece OF beef and
add II to the actual cost of the meat
So small a difference as 8 cents a
hundred in a freight rate is COM
puted.
You may rest assured. though, thai
the difference is due mostly to the
grade of beef
one grocer DuyS d pOTh ION 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-
tig8tor In the report, all pork chops
look alike. You can't tell a thing by
such figures.
II 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
on the narrowest of profits. A I0-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"
