r. Covers Life When Pulled
From Water

An investigation into the drowning
yesterday of Robert F. Covers, nine
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Covers, Of 131 Market street, is being
made by the police. The child was
drowned in McHose clay pit pond on
the New Brunswick road about half
mile past the city hospital, sometime
between $50 O'Clock and noon.
That the boys death was due either
to ignorance or absolute indifference
of those who were present is the con-
viction of various persons in the city
will have obtained some details of the
drowning, and complete examina-
ton has been ordered by Chairman
William Wilson of the police commit
tee.
According to Mrs. William Bryans,
whose husband keeps a barber shop
at New Brunswick road and Man
ning's road, word reached the barber
shop about IL o'clock that boy was
drowning at-the clay pits. The In
formation was brought by boy on
a bicycle, who said he had brought
Covers up on his handlebars.
John Bryans, fifteen years old, a
member of the High School Cadets,
rushed over to the pool and dove for
the body. He found it caught in the
mud not far from the shore. He told
his mother that he struggled hard to
get the little boys body out of the
water and was refused assistance by

Rabbits Afford Good Meat
to Help Check the H. c. L.

1t seems pity that more families
who are struggling with the high cost
of living and who are appalled, at the
price they are forced to pay for their
meat supply, do not know what a
help few rabbits In their back yard
would be. Two or three does and a
buck will afford an abundance of the
finest meat the market offers, and at
low price. too, especially If a person
has little garden or can get green
stuff to feed them, although the grains
they consume are of the cheaper kinds
and they are far from expensive to
feed. Fried, stewed, roasted, pot-pie,
any old way you take them, they are
simply great eating. The meat is
white like chicken breast and of eX-
cellent flavor. Rabbits are ready to
butcher at any age from six weeks
up, growing very rapidly.

Congress Opens Session,
But Little Is Accomplished

Washington, D. G. = Washington
looked on Monday at one of the quiet
est and most uneventful opening days
of congress in history. Perhaps ia
tigued by the long strain over the
peace treaty, which was laid aside only
ten days ago, but So senators appeared
to answer to rollcall.
This was in distinct contrast to the
last week of the old session, when the
complete vote of the senate was cast
on several of the peace treaty votes
for the first time in almost quarter
of century.
There was an absence of all of that
hurry and hustle which usually marks
an opening day, because another prec,
edent was broken in the failure of the
executive departments, through the
secretary of the treasury, to have their
estimates of expenses for the fiscal
year ready to submit when congress
met These came out later in the af-
ternoon, however.

Short Measure in Canned
Goods to Have Attention
of Federal Authorities

Federal food inspectors have been
instructed to watch for interstate shin
ments of canned foods which have
been slack filled; that is, which con-
tain too much water and too little
solid food. Officials of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
OF agriculture, who are charged with
the enforcement of the federal food
and drugs act, say that action under
the law will be taken against viola
tors.
The practice of slack-filling food
cans, in the opinion of the officials, is
demoralizing to the trade and unfair
to the consumer. To put a full can in
competition with a slack-filled can
places the honest Gamer at disad-
vantage. The consumer almost inva-
riably receives more for his money
when buying a full can than when
buying a slack-filled can even though
he pays higher price for the full can.
In some instances, however, when the
Gamer sells his slack-filled cans to the
trade at prices lower than the market
price for full can, the consumer is
charged as much for the slack filled
can as for the full can. In such cases
both the Gamer and the dealer share
in unfair profits at the expense of the
consumer.
Putting excess liquid in cans adds
unnecessary expense in canning, stor-
ing and shipping, since the excess
liquid requires more cans and in
creases freight and storage charges all
along the line-through the hands of
the Gamer, broker, the wholesale and
the retail grocer. Since this addition
al and useless expense is borne inva-
riably by the consumer, it adds it's
part to the high cost of living.

HUSBANDS FOR WIVES SMOKE
Englishmen Buy Cigarettes for Wom-

Dealers.

London, England.-West end tobac-
conists assert that the Englishmen
not only do not disapprove
of women smoking, but encourage
their wives in the practice.
1--WE sell almost as many cigarettes
to women as to men," said one. Gre
Quently man customers, after buying
cigars and tobacco for themselves, ask
for cigarettes for their wives. Clergy
men who do not themselves smoke
come in and ask for hundred Turk
ish cigarettes for their womanfolk.
"Cigarette smoking has not yet be-
come fashionable among working Class
women, but in the middle and upper
classes I imagine that the husband
who quarrels with his wife because
she smokes must be rarity"
