FOOD COST
USED IN DISTRIBUTION

New York, Dec. 16-It costs 80
cents to distribute 81 worth of food
in this city. The bureau of food sup
ply of the New York Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor
has been conducting cost-of-living
inquiry, and has made public a re-
port showing that 81 cents represents
the cost of the food on it's arrival at
the terminal markets here, while the
rest of the consumers dollar is di-
vided between wholesaler and retailer
in the process of getting the food to
the consumers kitchen.
every consumer" said Bailey B.
Burrett, who directed the inquiry, "is
amazed at the constantly diminishing
quantity of food that his dollar
brings to him, and every producer is
equally amazed at the small proper
tion of the consumers dollar that
finds its way into his pockets"
The remedy, the report asserts, is a
reorganization of the food distribu-
tion system, based on the result of
careful experiments with the eco
nomc efficiency of various methods of
retail distribution. These expert
ments, it is set forth, should be made
by a group of individuals with no
thought of profit.

TAKES OFFENSE
AT SATIRE ON HIS POLICY

Washington, Dec. 16--President
Wilson has ordered an investigation
by the war and navy departments of
the satires on the administration s
Philippine policy which featured the
annual banquet last Thursday of the
Order OF Carabao, an organization of
army and navy officers who served in
the islands. President Wilson suggest
ed to Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
reprimands for those responsible.
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison
conferred early today and called for
statement of explanation from Rear
Admiral Howard and Quartermaster
General Aleshire, the highest ranking
officers at the dinner
Secretary Daniels at the same time
suggested to Admiral Howard that he
decline the presidency of the order
to which he was elected last Thurs
day and informed him that the song
Damn, Damn, Damn the Insurrec-
tos," which was sung at the banquet,
should never be sung again in the
present administration with officers
of the navy present.
The president expressed his inten-
tion to members of his cabinet after
he had read published accounts of
the banquet. He felt particularly dis
pleased over the travesty on the ad-
ministration's peace policy and criti-
cisms AIMED at Secretary Bryan
when three six-foot models of battle
ships, borne by concealed boys, were
carried into the banquet room. In
the muzzle of the guns were stuck
nosegays and the milk-white dove
was perched on each fighting top.
They were named "U. S. S. Fellow
ship" "U. S. S. Friendship" and "U.
S. S. Piffle."
Another satire was moving pic
ture film of three-year pursuit of
Filipino conOnel, who time and
again had escaped capture and hard
ly had been apprehended when he
was made governor of a province.
The performance, according to ad-
vance statements given out by the
Carabao society, was designed to
show the "lack of sympathy for
recent developments and tendencies
in Philippine government"
The news of the proposed investi-
cation came like bombshell in army
dreds of officers present. Rear Ad-
miral Howard told Mr.. Daniels today
that they had sung the Damn,
Damn, Damn, the Insurrectos" for 13
years and had not met with any OBJ
lection. Secretary Daniels pointed
out that officers of the arrnys an9s
navy who would be expected to sup
port the administrators policy could
not be permitted to ridicule it.

Schmidt was legally insane for years.
At this point Schmidt leaped to his

Court attaches forced him to a
chair, where he persisted in mumbling
incoherently. The attorney continued,
Schmidt believes he is the son of
John the Baptist. He also believes
his admission to the priesthood was
due to ST. Elizabeth. His mind is in
a state of constant turmoil. 1t is
marked by viciousness and crimes OBJ

INSURANCE COMPANY GIVES
WARNING FOR CHRISTMAS

An insurance company thus gives
timely warning of danger:
We are now approaching the holi-
day season with it's attendant dangers
Of Christmas fires. You can do much
in your community to warn and point
out to the careless and unthinking
the dangers from use of paper, cotton
and inflammable material in decorat-
ing churches, stores and Christmas
trees.
Children should not be permitted to
light or relight candles when the
parents are not present. Matches
should not be left within the reach
of children during the holiday time.
Every year in America many children
are burned to death by fire from
Christmas candles.
Holiday fires in churches, bazaars
and stores are apt to be holocausts.
The widest possible publicity through
the press and otherwise should be Civ
en- to possible disastrous fires started
by careless use of matches, poorly ar
ranged gat jets or defects in electrical
wiring. Decorations may be carried
against gas jets by air currents.
Smokers should be warned against
lighting cigars inside decorated build
ings. Electrical wiring should not be
changed without consulting an cleo
trical inspector or expert.
Get your local papers to join you
in crying out warning against the
many dangers of the holiday season.
A word of advice or caution from you
at the right time may avert serious
fire.
