MRS. HEATH HAS
PLEASANT DREAM
Things to Eat Should be Much Cheap.
er This Summer, According
to- Her Vision.

United Press Leased Wire Service. !
NEW YORK, March 24.-That the
spring and summer Of 1916 will be
marked by exceptionally low food
prices with an undoubtedly favorable
effect upon the cost of living, was ad.
vanced by Mrs. Julian Heath, Of New
York, president of the Housewives
league, in an interview with the Unit.
ed Press today. ...-..-,
Mrs. Heath predicts: A bigger
nickel loaf of bread, due to a 100000.
600 bushel wheat crop in 1915.
Low meat prices, caused by heavy
importations Of Argentine beef. s,ls-
pension of foreign exports and heavy
spring production. ~
Extraordinarily cheap eggs. due to
the same causes. ga, .t.e -.,..
resulting low prices.
A heavy cotton crop, little foreign
expectation and cheap cotton fabrics.
THE spring and summer of 1915"
Mrs. Heath said, will be the Ameri-
can housewives golden opportunity
1t has been years since she had such
a chance to lower the cost Of living.
First" she continued. consider
the bread situation. The wheat crop
will be enormous. The conditions
have passed away which caused six
cent bread. The bakers will not low
err the price below five cents, but they
will put more -four in the loaf. The
bread problem is no longer a prob.
lem-it's. an economy.
Buy. eggs in April, That should be
a slogan. I'm going to send out in
structions to every member of this
league, on how to preserve eggs at
nome. The housewife who buys April
eggs when the market is flooded with
the spring production and cold stor-
age space is limited, will be wise.
She can get her eggs cheap in April
and purchase enough at that time to
take full advantage of the low price.
.Everything's ,low-bread, meat,
fruit, eggs, clothing-and now and a
little later Is the time for the people
to buy Not only will they obtain the
benefit Of low prices, but by putting
their money into circulation, turn
what has been a business depression
into a reign Of prosperity.
1.-The price Of fruit and vegetables
undoubtedly will be low during the
coming summer. That will have a
twofold beneficial effect. When such
a condition prevails, it is not limited
to the summer alone. 1t will mean an
enormous production Of canned goods
and next winter we'll have cheaper
canned goods.
There's just one drawback to the
coming low prices of wheat The
market will be flooded by next Sep
TENDER and wheat prices will be a.
rock bottom. There is a grave dan
ger that these same rock bottom
prices will discourage the farmer
against planting wheat, and cause us
to face a shortage in 1916. Such con-
ditions, however, may adjust them
selves. The general outlook is more
optimistic than it has been in years"

fore the anti-saloon element. The as
sertion by the Brewers association
that prohibition lessons the dem1ed
for the grain crop will be either dis
approved or substantiated.
Concerning the investigation, Pro-
lessor Blackmar says:
Jealous advocates of both sides
often assert what they cannot prove
to be true. We shall find out the
exact status of these statements and
have available information as to the
welfare of Kansas.

James Jacoby. Any man who on his
oath says that he does not believe In
capital punishment Is disqualified as
a juror by the state. AS a result the

day is over, Judge Harry Waggoner
Will be called upon to issue another

township, D. Zern Of Dallas City and
John D. Whitcomb of Adrian. The
first three were accepted Monday aft
ernoon from the regular venire. Yes
terday morning twenty-five Of the spe-
cial venire were called and but one,
Mr.. Whitcomb, was accepted.
Quite rapid work was done by the
attorneys Monday afternoon for by
o'clock the regular venire had
been exhausted and three Jurors
secured 1t was then that Judge
Waggoner sent the sheriffs deputies
out for seventy-flve mea to
report yesterday morning. At 8
o'clock promptly, the special
venire reported and the case
resumed with Attorneys Johnson and
O'Harra doing the examination for
the state and Hartzell and Scofield
for the defense. The case brings to-
gether not only the best legal talent
Of Hancock county, but also Of west
ern Illinois, the attorneys being
known as shrewd examiners and ear
nest advocates. The court room is
crowded all day long with persons
anxious to hear at first hand the story
Of the killing of Jacoby and to watch
the battle Of the most brilliant attor-
neys at the bar Of this section OF the
state. w.

The work Of getting the jury went
very slowly. The first venireman
examined, John Spence Of Montebello,
qualified for the defense, but was
soon disqualified by the state when
he answered that he did not favor the
death penalty. It is not probable that
the jury box will be filled before Fri.
day afternoon or Saturday The real
interest in the case will begin when
the giving of the testimony opens.
The defense makes no secret Of the
fact that self defense will be the plea
made by the attorneys for the ac-
cused young man.

MIGHT PROTECT WORKS
OF ART BY NEUTRALITY

BERLIN, May 1.-THE Architects
union of Berlin. 10 which the fore
mosts artists here belong. published
today a reply to the circular addressed
10 the belligerent nations by the Ma
tional sculpture society of New York
which protested against the destruc-
ton of works of art in the war zone.
II is as follows:
We have read with interest your
circular protesting against the de-
structiOn Of works OF art. Naturally
we agree with you from the bottom
Of our hearts that the destruction
of works Of art should be avoided.
I'VE do not believe that any one of
the eight European nations now en-
gagged in war. would Intentionally de-
stroy or injure in any way art works
OF any kind.
ION the other hand. however, il may
become abruptly necessary for STRAIT
egic reasons, TO remove such art struc-
lures
The best remedy FOR such practice
however. is TO shorten the war. and
in this regard neutral nations can do
their part toward protecting such art
works by simply refusing TO deliver
any arms or ammunition TO the bell
ligerents"
