IMPORTANT steps looking toward the reduction Of
prices to of two prime necessities, meat and
u flour, have been taken by the government Reg
ulaons governing profits of millers have been promu
gated and in the hands of miers The maximum
age profit permitted the miller 25 cents barrel flour
and so cents ton feed Any profits above these
unjust and unreasonable The second step in the gov
eminent plan to insure reasonable price for bread is
thus completed One link the chain remains to be
fastened if the ultimate is to enjoy the benefit
Cheap reasonably priced flour will be of advantage
to the average family unless that price is fairly reflected
in the price charged for bread bakers This matter will
probably have the attention of the government soon
Neither bakers milers have popularity been
thought to be taking extoronae profits but proper gov
eminent action will make certain that they do not In
connection with the fixing of bread prices it has often been
called to notice that the grocers profit of cent loaf

retail grocer lot is hard enough these days but it might
be in the interest of the public the profit bread
cut to 10 per cent and if necessary the difference made
up in higher profit rates on luxuries.
No price has been set meat yet but the packers
have voluntarily put their business under government
regulation. Packing establishments will be licensed and
means taken to eliminate boarding and speculation. The

The main object Of the code. of

The foregoing are only a few Of the
many remarks that could be heard
Wednesday night when the curtains
were raised, displaying to the large
crowds the attractive windows ar

accessories.

were raised. While the women pre-
dominated, there were many men and
frequently they were among the mos,
enthusiastic in expressing admiration

The crowds wandered from one store
to another, admiring, comparing and
lauding the efforts Of the city's enter
prising merchants. Coats and gowns
formed conspicuous part of the dis
play at each store. While the season
of the year when one wishes to feel
the comfortable warmth of furs has
not yet arrived, yet, the elaborate dis
plays of mufrs and neck pieces in the
late designs were often heard to re-
ceive the lions share OF the adnira-
ton so freely expressed.

evening gowns should be among thu
particularly attractive features of the

surpass the displays shown In former
years.

themselves particularly we'll to produc-
ing pleasing effects, but the touch OF
the artist In the arrangement OF the
backgrounds and the blending of colors
is everywhere in evidence.
The fashion show will continue to-
