The Kansas City wholesale meat market, last week, sho wed that prices on beef and pork were going down, and that beet was selling, No. 1 Joins, at 6 1-2 cents less than year ago. The over. supply of the packers, and a lack of shipping facilities to Europe has much to do with this state of affairs, and for these reasons we hope that our own people may be able to eat a little meat, once more.

PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt Rate Cases
 Refund.

hS AhaoUC1 ullc IdUc CdSeS of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad Company and the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way Company filed his report in December, allowing over mil lion dollars frieght and passenger claims against those roads as ov- CT charges during the time the State freight and pas senger rates were under injunc- tlon, and disallowing two or three hundred thousand dollars claims, to which disallowance numerous exceptions have been filed.
 "The railroad companies have filed exceptions to all of the claims allowed by the Master, denying liability on all of them on many grounds and question ing the sufficiency of the proof in many cases, and also on the ground that many of the ship mentS were intrastate and not interstate shipments. The State has intervened and prays that from the refunds allowed that it be reimbursed for the $65, ,000 which it has extended in defense on the rate suits and for such further sums as it has incurred for counsel.
 "The following offer of com promise has been made:
 ''The railroad will,
 "First.-Pay $65, ,000 which go to the State in ninety days.
 "Second.-Pay all expenses of the Masters office and court costs.
 "Third.-Pay all passenger claims in full, without interest, in tranferable intrastate mile- age; good for two years,
 "Fourth.-Pay 50 per cent of the principal of all freight claims al- lowed by the Master in transfer able scrip, good for two years for intrastate freight charges j; except,
 "(a) The railroads will re- serve the right to try all excep- tions as to Implications and clerical errors, the disoision of the District Court on these ex- captions to be final.
 "(b) The railroads will re. serve the right to try exceptions -as to rough material claims and all exceptions as to claims as interstate.
 fth.-The right is reserved to holders of all rejected claims who have excepted to them, to contest the disallowapoes. The contested claims are not includ- ed in the settlement. If claim ants win, they will get full pay ment; if they lose, they will get nothing.
 " Railroad Commission desires that all interested passengers and shippers appear before it on the fifteenth day of February, 1915, at 10 o'clock a. m., when a full hearing will be had as to the advisability of accepting said compromise. This proposition has been approved by the Gov ernor and Attorney General on behalf of the States claim for reimbursement, and the Rail- road Commission will, if it is ap- proved by the shippers and pas sengers, present it to the Court for eonsummation.

FOODS ARE ROBBED ] OF MINERAL VALUE Cause Fatal Ills, Says Scien- tist-Why Vitalitas Is
 Widely Effective

Present day foods do not properly nourish the body according to noted scientist. They are robbed of mineral value, by refining, polishing and so- called purifying processes The result Is mal-nutrition and many deadly ills such as tuberculosis, indigestion, nerv- ous debility, biliousness, constipation and appendicitis. Decayed teeth are one of the minor afflictions
 There is no surer road to i'll health than in mineral starvation Proof that modernly prepared foods lead to this Is abundantly shown. For instance, whole wheat, as formerly eaten, con tains 175 parts mineral body, while patent four hasa parts, less than one fourth. Unhulled rice contains Al parts mineral body, while polished rice such as sold at our grocers, has 39 parts, less than one-eleventh of mineral nutri- ment Brown sugar. contains 199 parts nutriment,. while refined sugar has only trace. Similar showings are true of dozens of other daily used foods and the result is mineral starvation.
 In this connection it is worth nothing that Vitalitas contains many of the true organic minerals of the human. body. It supplies them to weakened, impoy- erished and diseased tissues and bene- ficial results that are constitutional quickly follow. Vitalitas . is natures greatest tonic and should be used for such diseases as indigestion, bilious ness. rheumatism, nervous debility, ca tarrh, kidney and liver ills.

London. October 2.-(Special )-There is. perhaps. no more interesting family in the British peerage than that of Lord Grantley, whose youngest daughter. Kath- erine Norton. is attracting a lot of at- tendon just now in London's artistic and literary circles. She combines the boise and confidence of her fathers long line Of aristocratic ancestry and the charm and intelligence of her American mother who was the daughter of the late Will liam Henry Mcvickars Of New York. The Nortons are direct descendants of Rich ard Brinsley Sheridan. the poet and statesmen. Indeed, the eldest of the Nor ton sisters. who married Edmund Bevan, has . white lock of hair similar to Sher- idan's. Katherine's only brother, the Hon. orable Richard Brinsley Norton, created a mild sensation in London a few years back by marrying Maggie Jarvis, a pe- tite and promising member of the George Edwardes "Gpsy Love" company, then playing at Daly's theatre When war started he went to the front with the Scots Guards. but soon came back 50 badly wounded that 1t was months be- fore he was able to walk.

INFANT WELFARE WORKERS
 TO BRING CHICAGO SPEAKER
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

l some weeks ago the childrens hos | pital directors met with the board of the Infant Welfare association and in vited the infant welfare to amalgamate with them. as financing the infant well fare work had been stumbling block. although no active campaign had ever been considered. it was thought best to | take the matter under advisement; no definite action could be taken before the annual meeting, which was to be held in October. A motion to consider the suggestion was entertained It passed. However, when the matter again came up for discussion, the plan was reconsidered and Tuesday after noon at another meeting of the infant welfare board the motion was re- scinded. This action was not made without serious consideration. With the assurance of good times ahead. it was decided that money would De gotten.

 Another consideration was the fact

 Another strong point made in the &C., ton to rescind was the fact that the hospital taking over infant welfare work was rather putting the cart be- Tore the horse, as the one is preventa- tive and the other is curative.
 It was decided by the board after the reading of letter from Miss Minnie Ahrens. the superintendent of the in- fant welfare work in Chicago, in reply to request to have her come south to speak at the annual meeting of the To- cal association. and also to make a sur vey of the field that 1t would be wisest to wait until early in November for the annual meeting, the date set by Miss Ahrens, so that she could be the inspiration at that meeting for a large crowd and general cooperation.

You see. St. Louis leads with 97 out of 1000, Baltimore has the poorest record with ITS and New York, the first Amer ican city loses 105.
 It is time to act when we consider that in Birmingham, in the year 1914, there was a total number of deaths of children un- der l year of 422 and of children from l to years of 222.
 For hundreds of years we have bowed our heads to the will of Providence. '' Today we know better.
 Science has found these facts to be some of the reasons for existing condi- tions:
 Bad housing. bad industrial methods, ignorant or indifferent motherhood. ire spopsible fatherhood. Ignorance of per sonal of baby hygiene. imperfect super vision of milk supply and inadequate or enforced sanitary laws.
 Science has also found some points of remedy, all based on the idea that pre- vention Is better than cure:
 Intelligent motherhood breast feeding, cleanliness and fresh air. and pure milk for babies that must be artiflcially fed.

 The men of science in Russia reported sometime ago that there was a harbor rorth of the Arctic circle which was pe- culiar and individua, among the harbors of the world in northerly attitudes be- cause like Halifax, it was ice free the year round. The explanation of this pre- nomenon, which was given by the men of science, was that there was a reflex or backward sweep of the gulf stream po- tent enough. warm enough, in fact to prevent such freezing of the harbor as would blockade 1t. Had it not been for the exigencies of the war, Russia might not have undertaken for years to come to build railroad from this harbor to the capital. Now this undertaking is under way. and if Russia succeeds in her pur- pose skilled artisans from the United States wiu have part in the construction of the railroad.
