MEAT ADVANCES TWO CENTS
AS ALL FOOD PRICES SOAR
Wholesalers Blame Scarcity Of Live Stock for Big
lncrease-Flour, Coffee and Sugar Also Jump
Following Cessation of European Shipments

Butchers were dazed yesterday when
wholesalers took another twist In mea,
prices and demanded on an average OF
two cents increase a pound on practically
all kinds OF meats.
There was absolute uniformity In the
prices asked by all packing houses which
led the retailers TO suspect that at least
the packers had agreed not to disagree
about anything. The jumping OF whole
sale rates naturally increased retail
prices, and butchers alone were compelled
to face the music with their customers.
II was noticeable, butchers say. that
the greatest increases were on the least
desirable cuts. Shoulder Of mutton. for
instance, which formerly cost eight and
nine cents a pound wholesale, went up to
IA cents pound.
Retailers explain that packers realize
that when prices OF the more expensive
grades are advanced housewives In their
distress are apt TO buy the cheaper kinds
of meat. SO they raise the price on those
cuts on which there will be the greatest
demand.
Scarcity I'm Live stock.
The plea was made by the wholesalers
that the advances were necessary because
OF the scarcity OF live stock.
II was reported in Chicago that tho
scarcity was the greatest In twenty years.
There were $1,000 fewer cattle and III.
600 fewer hogs delivered last week at
Western packing centres than the pre-
ceding week, but there was an increase
OF 10, 900 sheep.
Here are some Of the prices that a
Washington Market butcher was asked to
pay wholesalers yesterday for his supplies
Lamb. 1871 to 20 cents per pound. an
Increase Of 4 cents sheep. 10 cents. 3

indicating that further advances may be
exacted IN the near future.

commodities, and many Of the retailers

II IL problematicai what the prices OF
;he future on imported foodstuffs may be.
Future prices all depend on the time
when shipping will be free on the Atlantic
and cargoes will come again TO ue from
European ports
But AS far as domestic articles Of
food are concerned It is generally agreed
that there Is no Just reason for advancing
prices because less quantities are being
shipped abroad. Consequently there ough.
to he an increased supply to meet the
demand at home.
There is a shortage Of tin IN the Ameri-
can market London has placed an en-
barge on tin and there is fear that tin
plate factories here may be affected.
This means, experts say that prices Of
canned vegetables. fruits, &C. will go

NAVIGATION AGENT
VICTIM Of A PLOT
MARKED FOR ASSASSINATION
MONTHS AGO HE is SHOT TO
DEATH BY A HINDU.

Vancouver, b. c.. Oct. 21.-Marked
many months ago for assassination,
William c. Hopknson, 35 years OF
age, assistant immigration inspector
for the dominion government in Van
couver, was shot and killed here to-
day by Mewa Singh, a Hindu. The
shooting was carried out with the
greatest GOODNESS and precision in
the Vancouver courthouse while Hop
kinson stood with his hands in his
pockets. ready to enter the assize
court which was to take up Hindu
case.
Mewa Singh had two pistols and
emptied the one he held in his right
hand into Hopkinson's body.
Il shot him; | am glad he is dead"
said Mewa Singh later. Mewa Singh
was the only one of the nine who car
ried firearms. The Vancouver police
tonight raided all Hindu boarding
houses in the city, looking for fire
arms.
The police say the shooting I'M
doubtedly grew out of the visit here
of the Japanese steamer Komagata
Maru, whose $50 passengers were
turned back to the Orient a few
months ago. At that time Hopkinson
and other officials were warned that
they would be She.

THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or
More.
A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces.
siyely thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims OF
mal-nutrition, condition which pre-.
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead OF getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal. amount OF
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar.
sol is scientific combination of six
of the best strengthening fatprodue
ing elements known 70 the medical
profession. Taken with meals IL
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich. ripe
nourishment for the tissues and
blood and it's rapid effect is remark
able. Reported gains of from ten to
twenty-five pounds in a single month
are by no means infrequent. Yet its
action is perfectly natural and abso-
lutely harmless. Sargol is sold by
good druggists everywhere and every
package contains guarantee OF
weight increase or money back.
Caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results In the
treatment OF nervous Indigestion and
general stomach disorders. it should
not, owing to its remarkable flesh
producing effect, be used by those
who are not willing to increase their
weight ten pounds or more.

sidered far the most important since
