SAVE 20 CENTS
ON THE DOLLAR
BY GEO. w. PERKINS
Chairman of New York's Food Committee

Have you stopped to figure how much more
you would get for your money il you bought food by
the pound instead of by the package?
Food that is wrapped and sold in attractive look
ing packages must of necessity cost more than the
same food sold in bulk, which means sold by the
pound
The box or jar containing the food and the wax
paper costs money. The printing on the wrapper
costs money. And it costs money to fill the pack
ages and seal them. Therefore, you cannot possibly
get as much food for your money when so large q
part of your money has to pay for the box wrapper
printing, etc.
There are several reasons why so many foods are
put up in packages.
First, the package looks pretty appeals to the eye,
and makes the food seem more appetizing. Second,
most of the packages air tight and dust proof,
and for sanitary reasons great many people prefer
food in packages
AS matter of fact, it is possible for your grocer
to keep on hand, in bulk exactly the same foods
the packages contain and it is also possible for him
to keep them in bulk in perfectly sanitary manner,
so dust and dirt cannot reach them.
We have looked into the matter of the relative cost
of certain articles bought in package as compared
with the same things bought loose in bulk. The
articles referred to were purchased by our own in
|vestigator the quality compared, and the arti
cles weighed and measured In own office The
following will give you some idea of the result of our

There is good evidence for believing that the pro-
hibiton law is being grossly violated in Seattle.

Tacomans returning from the Elliott bay metrop-
oils report that the nearb beer palaces dispensing

removed, and that almost any cafe will serve you

Now in one sense all this may be Seattle's bust
ness and not Tacomas. In another it is Taco
ma S business. The enforcement of the dry law will
only be effective when it is uniform the state.
Tacoma has obvious right to demand that Seattle
be made to observe the law.
The people Of this state voted for the prohibition
law. 1t is UNI American not to enforce it, Not to ell
force it strictly will serve to keep up agitation

AN EARLY DAY TRAMP
ATTORNEY L.. III. WILSON, OF 81.
LEM, HAD AN EXPERIENCE.

Attorney T.. III. Wilson, of Salem,
spent the day in Madison taking depo-
sitions in a law case in which he is
interested. Calling at The Daily
Leader office to renew an acquaint-
ance of the early SOS, Mr.. Wilson re-
lated an interesting experience of his
arrival in Dakota Territory in the
summer of 1880. Graduating from
a Pennsylvania college at the & of
%, he struck out for the broad west
to make his fortune, Yankton, Da-
kota Territory, being his objective
point. He arrived safely with very
little money in his pocket. Notwith-
standing he was a graduate of the
law department of his college, his fl
nancial necessities were such that he
decided that a year as a school teach
er would be the proper thing. Gen.
Beadle, of Yankton, was territorial
superintendent of public instruction
and to him he applied for a permit TO
teach which was granted. The next
step was to obtain a school, and he
started afoot into the country to find
a job. He walked from Yankton to
hlodA a oii5p Aii1b1& ~ ~ aRAA
and came to Madison a few days fol
lowing the big October blizzard of
1880, but al unsuccessful in obtain
ing the coveted school. Arriving in
Madison he was flat broke" but
VIM. Lee, landlord of the Madison
house, gave him meals and lodging
for the night, and the following
morning he resumed his tramp. A
few miles south of Lake Madison he
fell in with a man and team and was
invited to ride and the day being cold
his new found friend loaned him a
fur muffler which he wore until they
reached Dell Rapids. Continuing his
journey afoot, he arrived at Canton
where he secured a school which he
taught a year, and then engaged In
law practice, later locating at Salem.
} On his tramp, Mr.. Wilson left un-

he never succeeded in locating the

Madison to Dell Rapids. and who
loaned him the fur muffler. This is
the man he would like to meet at
this late day-and If he is not too
wealthy to accept the gift. Mr.. Will
son would like to buy him the best
suit of clothes in Madison.

WILL GATHER
TO SEE BIG BATTLE
Odds Are In Favor Of Willard
Rules For Fight Strict,
and To Be Enforced

New York, Mar. 24.-With 30 de-
tectives at the ringside and members Of
the boxing commission armed with rule
books on the job jess willard and
Frank Moran will fight for the world S
heavyweight championship at Madison
Square tomorrow night. The crowd, it
is estimated, will total more than -
| 900.
With the fighters ready, there was
considerable discussion today about the
rules under which the affair must be
conducted. The state commission as
serts that there shall be no hitting in
the clinches, no hitting in the breaks.
no backhand slapping, no kidney punch
ing, no unnecessary clinching and no
swearing.
And if any of the rules are broken
and the boxing commission wants to
enforce its mandates, remember the 80
detectives.
the fans hardly expect a knockout.
| The odds are extremely against any
such ending to the bout. The biggest
bet recorded was said to have been
made by Harry Moore, of Chicago, $lS,-
GOO and $4,000 That most Of the New
York newspapers will give Willard thc
decision.
Fans who have made the pilgrimage
here from as far away points as San
Francisco expressed great astOnishmant
when they saw willard swattng mis-
sparring partners. Stanley Fay, of San
Francisco was frankly surprised He
said Willard showed the greatest i'm
provement of any boxer he ever knew.
Those who saw the champion when he
was fighting around Los Angeles said
the Willard of today was not the same
man whose boxing Referee Charley Ey-
ton of tne VersOn arena likened to that
of washer woman.
Willard stayed in his hotel room to-
lay, but occasionally flakes Of plaster
ing fIoated from ceilings below to tell
other guests that the former cOwmnrh-
er was skipping rope or engaging in
some other innocent pastime.
Moran broke the scale at 202 pounds
when he tread on them this morning.
Then he went back to bed and read
about the stock market being just "on

Scores Of fans loitered around the
boxers quarters today, but no hard
work was done by either man.
