PROGRESSIVE:
Firm is the Chicago Dairy as 1t
is Always Ahead in Good
Things to Eat.

The Chicago Dairy. always ahead
in good things to eat, has again dem
onstrated 1t is live wire by import
ing its olives from Spain.
Olives are originally packed right
in the orchard In casks holding
near 200 gallons, and are usually re-
packed in New York in smaller PACK
ages for the convenience of the small
dealer. The olives lose part of the
natural flavor in repacking and to
avoid this the above named firm has
imported an original cask. which
holds 1856 gallons and weighs 1900
pounds. The cask is so large It
would hardly enter the doors of the
store.
Another feature of interest to the
public is that by purchasing olives
abroad 1t lowers the price twenty
five per cent and enables the con
sumer to buy olives at fifteen cent a
pint. which is about the regular
wholesale price.

The note as received here is about
1000 words long. The translators were
put TO work at once to have the text

After the cabinet had discussed the
Austrian reply for more than an hour
the meeting broke up and all the

ever. that the gravity of the situation
was undated.
Secretary Lansing let IL be known
that the state department would not
publish the text until 1t had been
thoroughly studied. and there was no
indication fwhen it might be en-
pected t ODE given out.

FRENCH NOW EXPECT
RECALL OF PENFIELD

much astonished if the American gov

his passports and by handing his
passports to the Austrian charge at
Washington" says the Figaro Aus
trials reply is barely disguised re-

The only satisfaction Austria glve2
the United States is that it does not
keep the United States waiting for it.
President Wilson'S longanimity has its
limit and the dismissal OF the Austrian
charge at Washington and the recall
OF Ambassador Penfield will show this
is not question of fit of energy but
carefully thought out resolution"
