Tremendous Advance in Vegetables
Due to Increase in Express Rates

When shipments from the south
of spring beets, carrots, turnips and
radishes are resumed to the Omaha
market prices will advance about
two cents a bunch on these COM
modities, A. King, manager of the
grocery department of Hayden
Bros, declared.
Because of a backset to the crops
by the recent cold weather, and the
irregularity of the train service,
shipments from the southern marker
have been more or less denioralized.
During the past several days ship
ments of green groceries only have
been arriving at infrequent inter-
walls, it was said.
The advance in the price of green
goods from the south is said to be
due also to the increase of express
rates, which became operative We'd
nesday. The express rates have ad-
vanced S. per cent, and in order to
meet the additional expense, It has
been necessary to charge the con-
sumers higher prices, Mr.. King said
The express on some Of the green
groceries from the south is said to
exceed the price paid the producer
for them.
Due TO the killing frost in Cali

Local grocers are at a loss to
explain an advance of S cents a

came several days ago in quotations
to retail merchants without an ex-

81 to AZ cents a pound. There has
been a shortage in the supply Of
cheese for the past week. This con-
dition also remains unexplained.
The wholesale price of beef has
advanced from 10 to 20 cents
pound. The reason assigned for
this is that the packing houses just
have begun to handle the corn-fed

months, the widows will be allowed
a small maintenance allowance in
addition to their regular pensions

Kitchenette Breakfasts

Since kitchenette cooking suggests
a busy life, the morning meal IS
probably a triumph Of haste. In
fact, it may be such triumph of
haste, especially with women, that it
ceases to exist at all 1t means a few
extra precious minutes in bed ifyou

point of time and nutrition milk is
the best beverage. If you prefer it
cold, you can get your hot food in
cereal or egg.
Unless you have a freless cooker
you are limited to a ready-to-eat
cereal, though some Of the brands
OF cereal requiring cooking adver-
tise an incredibly short time of
preparation. A cereal is an excellent
food for breakfast, as it gives a
good deal of food value in an easily
digested form. This statement is not
so true of the very light cereals, such
as the pulled cereals, as the ordinary
serving Of these has only one-third
to one-half the food value of small
serving Of cooked cereal. The same
thing is true of the other ready-to-
eat cereals in less degree, for food
value is proportional to weight, not
bulk. Thus the cooked cereals cost
great deal less in proportion to
food value. Ali of which informa-
ton is good to remember if one is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of buy
ing freless cooker.
Some breadstuff is necessary for
breakfast; but the hot breads are
taboo for -kitchenetters because of
time of preparation. This taboo may
be blessing in disguised While it
is possible to make griddle cakes
very quickly, doubt whether it is
wise for any person, unless engaged
in strenuous outdoor work, to load
down his system with hot cakes.
Toast is far better standby, for it
is equally hot, more quickly pre-
pared, and fresh, hot toast is surely
a delicacy. A grill at table is the
ideal way of making it, but a To-
cent toaster on gas burner will
turn out fine product, provided it |

Spartacans Practice
Be.stial Cruelty

Copenhagen, March 13-German
government forces after lively fight
ing have succeeded in driving the
Spartacans out of the east end of
Berlin, including Lichtenberg. The
occupation of the district, the mes
sage states, was Systematically car
ried out by the Spartacan troops. The
losses on the government side are
said not to have been heavy. Bestial
acts of cruelty on the part Of the
Spartacans have been confirmed.
The government troops entered
hOmbarding the main
Spartican nests. The suburbs sur
rounded by Government troops and the
only chance of escape is by discarding
weapons and intermingling with the
inhabitants. With captives' hands
handcnffed the men and women were
taken to the Mobid prison. In one
Spartican nest it is reported 20 Poles
We're captured.
The government has issued a~notice
that the seven depots Of the Republican

At closing time yesterday the gov.
ernor had not yet signed any OF the
Brinton newspaper bills. 1t was even
hinted about the capitol that Mr.. Fra
zier might veto Senate Bill l57, re-
garded as the most iniquitious of the
lot because it places the appointment
Of an official paper in each county In
the hands of single printing COM
mission of three members. Should
the governor veto 157 and sign 1853,
the people Of each county would Sc
lect at the next general election by
popular vote an official paper for all
publications Of a purely official ma
ture, TO replace the three official
newspapers now existing in each
county.
There was comparatively little op-
position to Senate Bill 1853, as the
method of selection was considered
fair, and 1t was admitted that some
saving might be effected by looping
off two legal newspapers In each coun-
ty. The fight centered around Sen
ate ELL 157I which gives the people

serious today as striking harbor work

The demoralized conditions of the

sea going vessels. A complete shut
down on the elevated and fnterurba n
