VEAL AND BEEF SHORTAGE.

l.
To remove veal from the hotel
menus wns advocated at a recent con.
vention OF western hotel men In Kan

ent beef shortage in the United States.
A beef steer is but grownup calf. OF

ity. thus becoming beef. and 1t weighs
700 pounds or more when dressed 1t

haps inaccurately, but there is sub
stantial truth in the statement that
the slaughter OF every calf not only
shortens the visible supply OF cattle

6C9 pounds OF food. The loss would

ton that the health OF the people
would be Distinctly better were this
meat absolutely banished from the ma

sideration supporting such a step is
that a cessation OF the demand for
veal might definitely stimulate the

From time to time have read con-
ments on the incivility of street-car pa
irons, in which the men have been criti-
cised as being ungalant and selfish to
degree. Coming from q section of the
country where the civilities of life receive
more attention than in the practical north,
was surprised at the manners, or lack OF
manners, of the average street-car patron.

for man to occupy seat while woman
was standing. Experience and observation
