MRS. NANCY CAIN CELEBRATED
HER SEVENTEEN BIRTHDAY.

Mrs. Nancy Cain celebrated her
SEVENTEEN birthday, Saturday, at her
home on sixth street by entertaining
all of her children and grandchildren
to the number of nineteen at six
o'clock dinner The menu consisted
of such things as Mrs, Cain remem-
beers as making up the meal in the
days of her early childhood. With po-
tatoes, gravy, roast pork, corn bread,
homemade hominy, sauer kraut,
sausage, cheese, pickles, brown cook
les, fruit cake, jelly and coffee, the
guests felt that the meal was most
complete. The manner of serving was
also in keeping with the recollections
of the earlier times. Mrs. Cain wore
a costume such as she remembers the
old ladies to have worn seventy
years back, which consisted of one
piece black dress, tight fitting at the
waist and the skirt very full and long,
small white apron and white cap
which was very becoming, made one
think that the socalled old fashions
and manners of living were as good
as any in vogue at the present time.
Mrs. Cain greeted the guests at the
door in this costume which was a

FIGHT ON HIGH. FOOD
PRICES IN new YORK
Considerable Rioting Has Taken Place
Among Tenement DWeIIers; Co.
Carts Tipped Over
JUnited Press Dispatch.1

New York, February 2O.-Drastic
measures to lower the high cost of
living have been started here by a
committee under the leadership of
DR.. Friedman. This movement follows
close on the receipt 'of the news of
the food riots that haye been taking
place in various parts of the city of
New York among the tenements, on
Long Island, in Brownsville, in Will
liamsburg and elsewhere.
The committee has sent perempt-
DRY demand to Mayor Mitchell and to
Food Commissioner Dillon to take
some measures looking to relieving
the situation and appeasing the wrath
of the tenement classes. The trouble
was precipitated by the announcement
of the latest increase in prices charged
for onions and potatoes. Go-carts have
been tipped over and in the market
places on Long Island there has been
much disorder and destruction of
property.
In Williamsburg trouble was
started When a woman found she
could not buy onions at the increased
price. She angrily turned over the
go-carts and scattered the onions
about the street. This seemed like a
signal for a general uprising of the
poor people around. Order was re-
stored with no small difficulty.
