Pork chops, from city dressed loins,
) cents a pound for the end chops and
9 cents pound for the middle chops
over the cost of the loins.
Turning from the discussion of meats
to that of groceries, Mr. VandeTveer took
app the sugar question. He said that re-
ports had come to him that some deal
ers were charging II cents a pound for
sugar that cost 9 cents, but none of the
dealers admitted that When sugar at
wholesale cost 9 cents pound the re-
tail price was fixed at 10 cents. Since
then the wholesale price has advanced
to 1886 per hundred pounds, so that II
cents has to be charged to make any
profit Mr.. Nanderveer asserted that
those who had on hand any sugar for
which they paid 8 cents pound should
continue selling it at 10 cents
The discussion involved other grocer
les besides sugar, and while the grocers
claimed they were selling as low as they
could and continue to do business the
local food administrator insists on a
lower price to cash and carry customers
than to those who have their purchases
charged and delivered.
This brought up the subject of doing
away with the delivery system entirely,
and many interesting ideas were ex-
| changed. Mr. Vanderveer urged that
| Brattleboro take the lead in Vermont in
cutting out the delivery expense, and a
| majority signified their willingness to
do 50. but some of the grocers, notably
| Fred G. Clark and Freeman Scott. be
lieved that the change would be detri-
mental to their business. 1t was agreed
| hat unless all saw fit to adopt the sys-
TEN it would not be advisable to make
the change, so the idea was given up.
So far as the results OF experience
with the cash and carry plan Were stated
the arguments appeared to be in favor
of that system. George w. Brooks, man
lger Of the Cloverdale store. said that
formerly he was against giving up the
delivery system. but his experience IL
ithe Cloverdale store has thoroughly con
vinced him that the cash and carry sys

TO SPEED US ON TO BERLIN.
Electrical Foot Warmer for Avia-
tors.

Electrical means of keeping an avia-
tor s feet warm is the basis of new
apparatus recently devised by New
York inventor
This shoewarmer equipment compris-
es an insole having the general appear
ance of the commonly used slip insole
except for the two plugs projecting
about one-eighth inch from the bottom.
When the insole is placed in position
in the shoe, the two small plugs fit in
two sockets which are sunk about one
eighth inch in the heel. These sockets
are the terminals of two small insulat-
ed wires, which are connected to the
terminals near the top of the shoe.
These terminals may be made invisi-
bic if desired.
Electric current is brought to the
terminals through small insulated wires
attached to the inside seam of the
trousers; these wires connect with the
source of electric current at the source
of electric current at the waist so that
there are no loose wires to ineonveni-
ence the wearer.
The amount of current consumed is
very small indeed, two ordinary sized
fiashlght batteries being sufficient to
keep a person warm for a number OF
hours.

CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Girls, Too, viii Stand With Them
Behind Every Fighter
at the Front.

To put behind every Catholic fighter
in France the support of one boy or
girl in every parish throughout the
United States is the plan of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council for back
ing the Victory Boys and Victory
Girls Earn and Give" Division of the
United Work War Campaign to raise
$170, 100000 "for the boys over there"
during the week of November Ills.
Through diocesan, county and parish
organizations, the rallying of one
youngster for every man who has gone
to war in every community is already
under way. By their own earnings,
and not by contributions. It is expect
ed that these sturdy little sponsors
for the boys abroad will each raise at
least five dollars for the joint well
fare work of the Y H. c. A., Y. w.
G. A, National Catholic War Coun-
ell, including the Knights of Column
bus, War Camp Community Service,
Jewish Welfare Board, American Ii
brary Association and Salvation Army.
Boys and girls in every Catholic
parish throughout the United States
are already being picked TO represent
each fighting man who has left their
church for the front. In every home
that flies u service flag little brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, are
eagerly volunteering to look out for
the share of their family fighter in the
huge joint welfare campaign for al
the boys abroad

Great Weapon Is Laughter.

In the posthumous story, "The Mys-

did not see fit to publish during his
lifetime, Twain expresses impatience
with the degrading use of humor when
turned toward trivial things. "Your
race in its poverty" he makes Satan
say, "has unQuesionably one really
effective weapon-laughter. Power,
money, persuasion, suppllcatlon. perse-
cution-these can lift a colossal hum

can blow it to rags and atoms at a
blow. Against the assault of laughter

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach! That dull,

full meal, robs good living Of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak

Yes; II. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sOur stomach" heartburn, formation
of painful gases, FLOATING" ETC., etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC, and it certainly is making
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands of people who formerly ap-
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favOrite foods
without fear of the after-effects.
