HOUSEWIVES FIGHT
FOOD SPECTATORS
Embargo on Eggs Has Already
Been Inaugurated in New York

New York, November 28.-Co-
operative action by American
housewives to combat food specu-
lators in an effort to reduce the
price of the necessaries of life
was indicated in the household
embargo on eggs inaugurated
here today. The movement has
the Endorsement of the National
Housewives league and of John
J.. Dillon, commission of foods
and markets, and Joseph Harti-
gan, commissioner of weights and
measures, representing the city.
Wholesale and retail dealers also
have given the proposal their ap-
prevail as the only practical meth
cd of defeating the spectators.
This embargo is said to be the
first one of its kind which has
had the support of dealers. In fact
it is stated that it was suggested
by a representative of one of the
largest grocery firms in the city.
A meeting of the presidents of all
the retail grocers associations has
been called for next Wednesday
to work out plans for cooperation
between the public and retail
dealers to strike at spectators i'll
eggs and later to attack specula-
ton in other foodstuffs.
Reports from, other cities indi-
cate that the movement is already
widespread. In Boston the typo
graphical union has adopted reso-
buttons urging its members to re-
fuse to buy Thanksgiving turkeys
at any price. and to use as little
butter and eggs as possible.
Representatives from several
socialistic organizations and con-
sumers' leagues today announced
plans for famine" parade. Ac-
cording to the announcement
100000 men and women have
pledged themselves to advance
upon city hall on December . and
demand that the mayor do all in
his power to give them the right
to continue in existence"
Eggs purchased in Indiana at
"a IL cents a dozen in June sold
in New York at 43 cents dozen
on November 18, according to tes-
timony developed today by the
Wicks legislative committee in
vestigating the price of foodstuffs
in this state. Some of these eggs
are still in storage here after
having been sold repeatedly at adj
vancing rates, and an invoice in
troduced in the evidence today
showing that in one OF these tran
sactions the eggs were represent
ed as fresh, was declared by wit
ness to have been enormously
marked.

NOW ITS THE eRoctrERIA
Hard to Tell Where the New Business
Idea Is Finally Going to
Have an End.

What does the cafeteria" grocery
forecast? Cafeteria everything else !?
In the Santa Monica bay district,
near Los Angeles, you 60 into gro
ceteria," ill your basket with what
you find you need, then proceed to
the cashiers desk and have your pur-
chases checked up. The cashier is
the only one who 'tends store" and
all the groceries are laid out within
reach of the purchasers and labeled
with the price.
The gradual development Of the
system of putting nearly every kind
of groceries in tins, cartons, bottles
and crates must have led to the evo-
luton of the groceteria, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
There was once a confectionery
establishment in which customers
paid 25 cents and were then given
permission to help themselves from
open trays to all the candy they
could eat, but not to carry any away.
1t was found to be profitable because
most customers discovered their ap-
petite cloyed before having exhaust
ed the 20 cents worth.
Having opened the door, when
may we look for the "haberdashe-
terra" and the ''bookteria?" How
ever, the bookstore has nearly reached
that stage already where familiar
browsers take and restore books on
the shelves, and finally carry their
selections to a waiting clerk; while
the bargain counter in the depart
ment store is universally the scene
of heaven help you if you don't help
yourself.

WHEAT BEARD PIERCES CHEEK
II Pretty Thoroughly Explores Mans
Anatomy, Causing Severe Pain
for Months.

While preparing a grain exhibit
for eastern fairs in August, W. G.
King, exhibit clerk for the state
board of immigration, swallowed the
beard of a stalk Of macaroni wheat.
The beard stuck in his throat. He
tried to cough it out.
Recently the beard, IA inches
long, was removed from his right
cheek, the st. Paul Dispatch states.
At the time of the accident Mr..
King noticed no i'll effects.
While at the Galesburg (Ill.) fair
his chest became sore. Mr.. King did
not know what was the matter. Nei-
ther did a physician he called. But
the pain grew less and he forgot
about it.
At the Indiana state fair at In
dianapolis later his throat became
sore. For ten days he was bothered
with a swelling. Another physician
was called, but he failed to diagnose
the case. The soreness of the throat
was followed by an abscess in his
right ear Later, Mr.. King was
troubled with a swelling of the jaw.
Recently a lump formed in his
right cheek. 1t was painful, and a
third physician was called. He, like
the others, could not understand the
symptoms. Then the beard of wheat
was forced out of the lump.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
PRINTING STRIKE NEWS.-Th,


Preparedness humbug, which COW
cred pages every day in the daily
press, died of a sudden death after
stirring up a manufactured, Unna-
tUTal, patriotic demonstration. Now
the daily papers are filled with the
convention humbug news and we
wonder when in the name of COM
mon sense and decency will the loop
press find time to inform the masses
of the dOings Of workers?
Is it of no importance, Of news
value, to know the causes and effects
of the nUmberless strikes of thou
sands upon thousands of people? Is
it no concern of the public to know
of the bitter struggle for the daily
bread? Must the public not know
of the misery of the struggling
workers and the contempt of the en-
plOyeTs? Must strikers kill a sCab
or create an unusual riot that the
papers may inform the public of the
strike?
Almost any nonsense will be found
in the papers, but no news of the
workers. Of course, the workers are
of the smallest number in the COM
mUnity and their interests counts
for nothing in the eyes of some ed
itOTs, particularly Of the Examiner
and the Journal
We have repeatedly given copy of
our strike to the Examiner, but it
needed the space for preparedness,
so the labor news editor informed us.
Yes, and unless there is some excite
ment or killing in our strike, he
thought it was no news at all to be
given space. It's Of no importance, "
we were told.
We were told that if we had a fight
or some excitement we would get a
large heading for our news and plen-
ty Of space Many thanks for this
generous offer of the Examiner, but
we leave such dirty business to the

Journal It's city editor shamelessly
stated that it does not want to print
any strike news now, as it does not
want to get the strike fever. When
our press committee pointed out to
this fifth wheel of capital that his
paper is read by the working class
only, that the large capitalists whose
interests he so nightly tries to pro-
test is seldom his reader, and that
the paper sells its advertising space
on the strength of the number of it's
working class readers, and so we
workers are entitled that the paper
give plenty Of space to our interests,
then this city editor became indig-
nant-veTy indignant-because the
profit side Of the paper was touched,
and advised the press committee to
get out.
This is about the situation which
the working class has to face when
looking to a free CD press to print
the news Of its daily fights for a mere
existence. It's time that the work.
ers know what paper to read.

RECORD PUMPAGE
At WATER WORKS

Due chiefly to many breaks suf-

city during the month of October
caused by the heavy weather which
the city suffered, the pumpage at the
city water works for that month was
record breaking, for the superinten
dents report covering the work show
ed that a total of 54,342,000 gallons
were furnished, which exceeds any
past month it is said, by five million
gallons.
The highest pumpage in a single
day was given at 100000 gallons,
gallons while the daily average was
100000.
The water company made also a
record in collections for the month. A
total of $8,221.25 was received, and
$2,374.S8 disbursed, leaving quite a

\. PAULSEN CHARGED
WITH EMBEzzL|NG

II. Paulsen, who a few days ago
was appointed special officer in the
Pensacola police department, was ar
rested last evening on q warrant.
charging him with the embezzlement
of $447, which was, it is said, the
property of Captain Jones of the
British ship Centurion, who arrived
here the latter part of last week. The
Centurion left here May %, last, and
comes back for another cargo. 1t
was upon the allegation that the par
ty named in the warrant did not prop
erly disburse sum entrusted to him
pending the sailing of the ship few
months ago, that the proceeding is
taken.
Upon his arrival few days ago,
Captain Jones was said to have dis
covered that certain accounts were
standing against him. One of these
was with his consignees on the last
trip. Investigating, he concluded
that the money he claims was en-
trusted to Mr.. Paulsen was not put
to the use for which it had been in
tended The warrant was made yes
terday afternoon in Judge Johnson's
court, and a few minutes afterward
being turned over to Deputy Craw-
ford, was readily served.
Taken to the county Jail, Mr.. Paul
sen had no trouble in making bond
and was Immediately released.
Mr.. Paulsen refused to comment or
the matter last evening. Feeling the
humiliation and undesired notoriety
keenly, he said that he would have q
statement to make in due time, and
thought he could easily convince
friends and others Of his innocence.
