In that way the commission
hopes to show the number of
pounds, for instance, of round
steak on an 800-pound beef, the
proportionate cost of that round
steak, and the profit from it.
Frank Berry, secretary of the
Old Tacoma fishermen, will be
called before the commission by
Mrs. Ennis Leach, fish expert, and
asked to explain the prices paid
fishermen for their product.
The commission expects to learn
that fishermen are paid a mere
pittance for the fish, while the
commission men and retailers
boost the price so that when the
product is placed on sale in a
market, it is too expensive for the
average housewife to afford.
At Thursdays meeting DR.. Rich
was elected chairman and Mrs.
Leach secretary.
The meeting opened with DR..
Rich reading an article published
in The Times last week, in which
the appointment of a food COM

Yes" said Mrs. M. 4. Mighall,
the housewife member of the COM
mission. THE women would rath-
er wear out their eyes with fancy
work than bake their own bread
or go to the market to select cheap
cuts OF meat and cheap vegeta-
bles." ~

you see, the produce houses
have 'gentlemen's agreement in
Tacoma. Five big commission
houses here all regulate their
prices by agreement. The retail
err has to pay what they ask. II
a competitor comes in, they drop
the price under him and break
him.
II can't prove this agreement,
because 1t is not in writing, but
can show by past instances that
there is one in effect. Commits

Tazewell at 9:45. The unfortunate
woman was going in the same direc-
ton. Her body was manglcd, her neck,
both legs, and one arm being broken.
Motorman Fugate White observed the
woman on the track some distance
in front of the car, aud gave the us
ual warning signals. He presumed, of
course, that she would step from the
track in time to avert the accident.
When it appeared that she had no
such intention, he exertcd all efforts
to stop the car, but without avail.
The track was damp, and the car
wheels, being locked by the brake,
"skiddcd" on the track. At this point,

"THE GREAT DIVIDE"
New York Times.

1t is now whispered by Republican
apologist that Mr.. Hughes Western
peregrinations should be regarded as
vacation, not campaign. Still
will it be an intrusion upon what
everybody hopes is n refreshing sol
itude and communion with nature, in
her bleakest and rockiest aspects, to
say that the heart of the symbolist
leaps for joy at the picture of the
candidate watching from Estes Park
the snowy SUBMITS of the Great Di-
vide?
The Great Divide! He caught sight
of its severed heights and lonely
peaks in California. Estranging and
insuperable, it's parts the Republicans
from the Progressives in State after
State. In New York, if the Progress
ives are not mistaken, the friends of
fIrmness are even trying to fill up
'he Great Divide with nominating
Z" editions thick with forgery.
The Great Divide! Yawning, mon
strous, impossible, it separates the
Republican candidate from the man
who, so many Republicans now acrid-
ly confess, should have been nominat-
ed in his stead. Between Brother
Pussyfoot and that Tiger who feeds
on hyphens, how great is the Divide!
1t is not Mr.. Hughes, it is Mr.. Will
son, who has just been saying:
A new problem of disunion, more
subtle, more difficult to met with
direct checkmate and correction than
the old problem which eliminated in
the civil war, has engaged and dis
turbed our thought, and we have
realized that we must devote a new
energy and ardor TO binding together
the forces which will priduce new
union, union of spirits triumphant
over every alien force and sympathy.

Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take q risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backnche, sick-head-
nche, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times n night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such rs DIR. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DIR. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, rs hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in "a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks tho
degeneration Of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric" is n regular insurance and
life-saver for nil big meat eaters and those
who deposit limc-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up
