Disclosures in the investigation, un- der the direction of Francis j. Heney, of tho packers combine provides an explanation of why there has been such great difference in the price paid for meat by the consumer and that received by the producer.
 The press agent dope sent out by the packers agents has made them appear like great public benefactors, but Heney's disclosures shows them up in an entirely different light.
 It isn't surprising that the produc- tion of meat has decreased when it is known that cattle, and hog STOW CTS were at the mercy of the buyers in selling their product According to documentary evidence introduced by Mir. Heney. the buyers of tAe big five" in tho packing industry were not allowed to compete in bidding The result was that no matter how much money the consumer paid\for AhVStt thG piouuNSI was HUI PNi to enjoy any of the profit of the increase in price.
 Not only did the packers "holp up" the public and hold down" the meat producers, but. according to testi- mony presented by Mir. Heney, the packers actually are charging the government ' 1-2 cents 70 10 cents more per pound for leather than the same leather is sold for by the farm CTS of Wisconsin.
 This made it appear that the gov ernmeEt might perform great ser vice to 10o.o00.Ooo people by under taking to control the packing indus try, which supplies so many neces- saries to the public.

SEIZE THESE LOCOMOTIVES.

More than 200 locomotives have been constructed in the United States for the Russian government. Since the original Russian government has caved in, however. the locomotives re main undelivered.
 Meantime our industries suffer from lack of coal, which is due large ly to lack of transportation facilities because there are not sufficient loco motives in the country !s haul the extraordinary amount of traffic that has been produced.
 There should be no hesitation in seizing the 200 locomotives made for Russia and using them oh our own railroads. The locomotive manufac- turers are perfectly willing to accept American money for the engines in fact, prefer it to Russia's money.

FROM THE THEATER TO WAR.

In the crusade to "cut ont the non essentials" the state of mind is that the other fellow patronizes the non essentials, while we ourselves go in for the essentials only.
 That's probably the reason why | some officials, who don. patronize the theater because they lI;.vn't time, thought it d non-essential.
 The theaters, however, have bi. part to play in keeping up the morale of the people. They deal, in a large nerves. Without them large portion of the public would easily lose in morale. vigor and determination in this grim business of war
 In these war days shows of light character with plenty of music to Hull the mind away from worry and painful thoughts, have attained the ascendancy. On tho other hand, tragedy drama naturally gains little encouragement, there already being  so much real tragedy enacted in the world that the stage sort doesn't i'm prove the mental attitude
 Strange as it may seem. music and frivolties are two effective aids in war by helping people to bear their add ed burdens. Even soldiers on leave, fresh from the fields of carnage, spend much of their time wooinS the harmony of sweet sounds and harken- ing to the batter of the comedian and the flub-dub of the chorus. Then they return, to the trenches and re- late the jokes they heard, which sometimes are not half as good as the kind soldiers spring to alleviate the monotony of trench life.

 As a result of American thrift, the junk business has risen from the ranks of comparative obscurity to a great industry ranking next in im- portance to the automobile business. In total business transacted, the traffic ill junk now amounts to more dollars annually than the total value of the products of the rolling mills and steel works in 1914 or of lum- Der, of boots and shoes, or of grist mill products.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

of Europe, however, knowing the value of thrift, saved these materials and as consequence, American busl- ness had to go abroad for thousands of tons of old rags. More than $2000.000 worth, so it is said, of one sort of rags, needed in the manufac- ture of a certain writing paper, were imported annually before the war.
 All over the country now this refuse matter is being saved and turned into money.
 In Des Moines, Iowa, school chil. dren recently sold $2,00000 worth o| waste paper in week. In St. Louis in one month, 100000 tons of old iron were sold by railroads. In New York City, 40000 persons are now engaged in the junk industry and more than 100000 tons of waste paper are collected in that city every week.
 But let us remember that the value of thrift cannot be computed in dol- lars and cents. Some of the school boys, who are learning to save waste paper and gather Up old iron today, will be industrial leaders of the next generation.
 If thrift in junk alone has meant a saving at the rate of $9.00 to every man, woman and child in the United States during the last year, who can compute the value of these practices in the formation of character and the general development of the nations morale?

FOOD PRODUCT CHANGES
Public Naturally Prejudiced Against
Any Alteration.


The public is naturally prejudiced
against any alterations of food prod
ucts, yet in some cases, such as
cream, the result is beneficial rather
than detrimental. In some parts OF
the south, according to Science Con-
spectus, there are no dairy farms.
and the table would be without cream
were it not for process Of recon
struction. Dessicated milk is mixed
with water and with butter from
which the salt has been carefully
washed out. The mixture is now
forced through a machine called a
hcmogenizer. By this process the but
ter fat is put back into the milk and
delicious cream is thus obtained
which cannot be distinguished in
taste from the natural product. Ice
cream makers employ a similar
method in order to provide against
Inequalities of demand. On hot even
ings there is rush toward the ice
cream parlors and to meet the great
ly increased consumption the dealers
draw on a supply of heavy cream
which they have kept in a frozen
condition. This frozen cream is
thawed out, mixed with a proper
proportion of milk, and put through
the homogenizer. The homogenized
mixture makes smoother ice cream
than the natural light cream, be-
cause, when the latter is frozen, much
larger ice crystals are formed, which
can be felt with the tongue.

SEE INTERIOR OF STOMACH
Doctors Do With, Periscope, Electric
Light and Lenses.

Nowadays when the physician is
called to examine person who has
something seriously wrong with the
stomach he takes look at the inside
of that organ before deciding wheth-
er it is necessary to perform an oper-
alton or not. To see the inside of
the stomach he makes use of min
iature periscope similar in everything
but size to that thru which, the COM
mander of submarine gets his bear
ings.
This instrument Is a metal tube OF
small caliber containing an arrange
ment of mirrors and lenses and hav-
ing small electric light at the end.
This is pushed down the throat of the
patient. The light is turned on and
the instrument is moved about until
every part of the inner surface has
been examined.
The mirrors and lighting arrange
ment leave enough space in the tube
for fine scalpels and forceps. and
scissors to be passed down through it..
Thus the, surgeon is able sometimes
to perform delicate operations thru
the tube and without cutting into the
patients abdomen. To the outer end
Of the instrument rubber bulbs are
attached, and these are used for va
rious purposes, according to the needs
