This May Throw Some Light on
the Price You Pay for
Beefsteak.

Testifying recently before body of
senators In Washington, vtce-presi-
dent of one of the large packing con-
Germs IF. Edison White of Armour and
Company made the astounding state
ment that so far in their fiscal year,
which would cover the past eight or
nine months, his company had made
no money whatever on beef"
This statement Is doubtless well
nigh incredible to the average man.
Yet it was made in full knowledge that
[ the senators had access to the conn
pany's books.
Recovering from the first shock, this
same average man will say, yes, but
the packers are shrewd; what they dc
not make on the beef they more than
make up on the hides"
But even this illusion was destined
to be shattered. Mr.. White explained
that his statement included everything
that was derived from the steer as
purchased-the hide, fat, even the in
testines which are used largely for
sausage castings.
Make Money, Nevertheless.
Well the packers make money-how
do they do it? Mr.. White admitted
that they did, quoting figures secured
by auditors of the Food Administra-
ton, to the effect that packers profits
on food commodities of all kind last
year were l 6/10 cents on each dol
lar taken in. These would include
such things as sausage, shortening,
canned meats, etc., in addition to fresh
meats, hams and bacon. On all the
products of his company, Mr.. White
explained, comprising both foods and
inedible commodities, the profits dur
ing the same period were $40 cents
on each dollar sale.
All of which would lead many to
say that the packing business is not
well understood. 1t isn't. Yet as one
of the leading industries Of the coun-
try, its workings and, above all, its
profits should be familiar matters to
us. 1t is quite useless to orate-against
the high cost Of living without digging
into some of these fundamentals.
By-Products at Market Values.
One of the most enlightening bits of
Mr.. Whites testimony was his eX-
PLANTATION Of the way in which cost
price of beef is arrived at. If steer
Is bought at $125.00 and hides are
bringing $1,000 in the open market,
then $1,000 is credited to the cost of
the steer. If hides are selling at $23.0O
that amount Is credited. The visceral
fat, offal and everything else that
comes from the steer are likewise
credited at their prevailing market
values. What remains rs taken as the
cost price Of the meat. The beef car
cass is then shipped to one Of the To-
cal distributing branch houses, and
the manager there is given the cost
price with instructions to sell the beet
at profit If he can. But in any event
whether the local market be lively OF
dull, he must sell for what he can get
for the commodity is a perishable one
and must be sold.

Vermont Tuberculosis Associa-
ton Presents Program for 1920
HEALTH NURSES, HEALTH
STATIONS and OPEN WIN
DOW SCHOOLS.
New features

The program for the YER
mont Association for 1920 is
far more ambitious than any
former one. Mr. Thomas Mag
ner, President of the Associa-
ton, stated that the Associa-
ton fe!r it was his duty to tell
the people of Vermont just
what the Association felt ought
to be done, to estimate the cost
Of doing it and leave it to the
people to decide by their con-
tribution how much of the
work would be done.
It is proposed to place a Pub
lie Health Nurse in each of the
ten health districts, to open and
equip a number of health stat
Ions and secure part time of a
bercNl0sl@ expert to consult
Nth physicians on diagnosis.
The report says there are pro-
BIZ three hundred sufferers
ron tuberculosis in each of
the ten districts in some, of
course, more than in others. Of
CSC three hundred less than
third are at present under
any proper supervision. 1t is
from these other two-ffths
that tuberculosis is largely
spread to the succeeding gen.
GRAFTON. 1t is the task Of the
nurses and health stations to
discdiscover these and place
them under supervision.
The benefit of the Prevention
ium treatment has convinced
the Association of the import
ance of open window school
rooms. To schools that furnish
the room the Association will
supply a cook, dishes, food, cots
extra clothes and so forth
The children will go to school
in a room with open windows
they will be properly clothed
and will receive two warm
lunches and a dinner at the
school. After dinner all rest
for one hour. Their homes
will be visited to secure the
cooperation of the parents sc
that they will receive practic
ally the Preventorium care al
home. The Association wants
to open three of these rooms
for approximately fifteen pu
pills each.
To do all the work outlined
will cost $4,000 and this sun
will be asked for during thu
Red Cross Christmas Seal Cam
paign beginning December LIST
IF the quota is reached three

The world wasn't made in a

unmade in night.
Don't worry about being fat
if you're happy. People like
happy folks but not the skin
ny sour ones.
A poor girl may not be able
to ride around in limousine
but she doesn't have to wonder
whether she is loved for her
money.
A secret is no longer one if
you tell it to one person, but
women think it a secret until
its published in the newspapers
A father can never tell how
his son is going to come out, but
for that matter a son never
knows how a modern father is
going to come out.
Your child is the brightest,
most beautiful and altogether
the lovelist of its kind, but if
you will only remember that
you are the only one in the
world that knows it and try to
keep the matter a secret, you
and your child both will be
much more popular.
A bright wit sometimes has
a dull finish.
TIE reason the spirit Of NOR
tai should be proud is because
it hasn't broken down under
tie high cost of living.
