REGULATING STOCKYARDs.


In view of the pending application
Of American Butchers for authority to
increase the price of pork here, it is
interesting to note the measures to
ing taken by national authorities to
regulate the stockyards, where pri-
mary prices are fixed for all refrig-
Grated meats. General regulations
under which these stock yards will
onerate in future have just been sign
ed by President Wilson. They pro-
vide against extortionate or excessive
charges for yardage and commission;
reuuirA stockyards to maintain ade-
nuate facilities for handling live stock
offered by stockmen, including labor,
feed. and water; and prohibit unfair
dealing, combination, or deceptive
rracsices in buying and selling live
stock. 1he circulating of misleading
market information tending to affect
prices is also covered by the regula-
items
Stolkyards, commission men, trad
ers, Crder buyers and others handling
stock in, or in connection with stock
yards, ale required to secure licenses,
in accordance with the presidents
Proclamation of June 18, and to oper-
ate under the rules and regulations
issued today, which will be admins
tered by the secretary of agriculture
through the bureau of markets. Coun-
try stock buyers and shippers who
are not engaged in the business of
buying and selling at licensed stock
yards are not subject to license.
The general regulations have been
made after consultation with the agri-
cultural advisory committee, stock
men, and trade interests, says state
ment from the department of agri-
culture, which sent out 5000 copies
of the preliminary draft of the regula-
lions to interested persons and receive
suggestions from many sources be-
fore issuing the final regulations,
which are now being published by the
Stockyards must keep records, as
required by the secretary of agricul-
ture, of daily receipts, shipments and
local disposition of live tsock, make
reports when required, and furnish
true copies of all existing and propos-
ed contracts with other establishments
and changes therein relating to the
handling of live stock in connection
with such stockyards. The chief OF
the bureau of markets has been des-
ignated by the secretary of agricul-
ture To enforce the provisions of the
regulations. 1t is contemplated that
market supervisors will be stationed
Mt the principal markets and in reg
ional offices.

of the country, Mr.. McAdoo worked
eigheeen and twenty hours day un-
der the constant pressure of a ner-
vous strain that would have resulted
in the complete physical and nervous
breakdown of almost any other man
in America. Yet he persisted in the
terrific nervous tension of this grill
ing pace without taking what would
ordinarily be considered an adequate
amount of exercise or physical relax
alton, other. than sleep, despite the
solicitous counsel of his physician.
But he nevertheless came through the
trying ordeal full of ginger and frs
ky as a yearling thoroughbred just
out of spring pasture, all primed and
ready for the next number on the
program"
A suggestion which was made to
the writer yone very close to Mr.:
McAdoo, seems to offer an explana-
ton as to the source of his remark
able power. The suggestion is that
through the past centuries the sue

been storing up the potential energies
with which the present descendant is
endowed as a heritage of his race.

BRITISH EXPENSES
TAKE BIG JUMP

London, April 4.-The sum of $780,

the past year, says an official an

spent on the Kings palaces. I'm
mense excuses of expenditure over
the amounts originally estimated are
accounted for by war bonuses, in
creased cost of labor and material,
and the. higher cost of food.
In some items there are consider
able savings. Members of Parliament
turned back their salaries to the
amount of $4,000. There is a saving
in the estimates for prisons, due to
the decrease in the number of prison.
ers. Reformatories and similar insti-
buttons, however, cost more, owing to
a larger number of juvenile delin-

SECRETARY MCADOO DOESN'T NEED
HEALTH RULES He WAS BORN too
WELL SAYS REAR ADMIRAL GRAYSON|

Aside from being Secretary of the
Treasury, Director General of Rail-
roads, Chairman of the Federal FL
nance Corporation, Chairman of the
Farm Loan oBard, Treasurer of the
Red Cross Special Fund, directing
manager of the War Insurance or
ganization and active head of various
and sundry other important govern
ment enterprises, a lawyer, a build
err, an organizer and several other
things, William Gibbs McAdoo is
probably Americas most active and
effective human dynamo. And as a
dynamo he is exceptional further in
that he seems to run without an ap-
parent source of driving power.
The writer called upon Rear-Ad-
miral Carey T. Grayson, M. D., U. S.
N, official physician to Mr.. McAdoo,
and asked him what rules of health
he employed to keep Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo in such perfect
e health and splendid physical trim.
Rules! Don't ask me-" exclaimed
the Admiral, throwing up both hands
in protestation.
Health rules!" he repeated, smil-
ing; eff you knew Mr.. McAdoo as !
do, you wouldn't ask me such an I'M
answerable question.
when it comes to any manner of
health rules" continued Dr. Grayson,
'Mr. McAdoo is simply impossible. 1t
is just as easy to get him to follow
health rules as it would be to trot
a camel through the eye of a needle.
The only difference is that one won't
and the other can't.
"If I may be forgiven the express
sion," sighed the Admiral, Mr.. Nc
Adoo is a hard case If there is any
marked distinction between perverse,
obstinate, wilful, unruly or even con-
trary, then I should say that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is a composite, concrete COM
binatfon of all these varying quail
ties, so far as any health rules are
concerned.
''Mr. McAdoo despises medicine as
he abhores original sin. And as for
taking physical exercise, he fights
against it as boy fights against tax
ing dose of castor oil. In this re-
spect Mr. McAdoo is wholly unlike
the President. Mr.. Wilson not only
is quite responsive to all suggestions
and advice as to health rules, but he
willingly and even eagerly practices
the kind and amount of physical ex-
ercise which is prescribed to- keeT
him in physically fit condition.
But Mr.. McAdoo!'-here the Doc.
tor raised his hands in mute toker

The bodies are piled on deck, packed
tight in straw cases, on top of when
the Arab attendants sit nonchalantly
and play a native game resembling

comparatively new, others old. 1t all
