than by sealed bids. Municipalities,

majority OF the eighty-six bids were
from packing concerns, many of
which bid exclusively for their
own products. The highest prices
offered for bacon In crates were
approximately 80 per cent of
the original cost 10 the Gov

cans brought bids OF As per cent. of
original cost; corned beef hash, rs

beef IS per cent, although one pack

the objections are such that they
may be demonstrated in court Wash

theory that they constitute a public
nuisance.
"a st. Louis restrictive ordinance
which goes far in the curtailing OF
the nuisance, has been upheld by the
courts. Chicago has a law, helc

CANNED GOODS PUT UP
CONVENIENT SIZES.

THno canned Vegetables are put up
IN rogllar-sized containers, the peas
ana string beans IN two-pound cans,
the corn In one-pound cans and the
baked beans In one and three pound
cans.
Tue hams and bacon are of eGoel-
lent quality and cost the Government
much less than the present market
price. Dealers should purchase this
ham at Is cents a pound. This would
enable them 10 let the consumers
have the whole ham at % cents or
sliced at Is cents a pound.
The bacon held by the Government
was purchased at n low price and
should not cost the dealer more thhn
y cents n pound. which would enable
the consumers 70 gea a strip OF bacon
at "a cents and sliced at 80 cents n
pound. This margin OF prod1t to the
retailer would be more than 20 per
cent.

THE WOMAN AUTOIST,
Some Suggestions Which Have Been
Proved Practical

Auto hints are always gladly received
by the woman autoist and the Woman's
Home Companion for March had some
unusual ones.
A Virginia lady offers a suggestion for
making lights suitable both for city and
country use. She says that as everyone
knows lights sufficiently dim to comply
with the law in cities are often not bright
enough for country use As a simple remedy
for this, use bright lights for the coun-
try and then make two ordinary round
caps of cheesecloth, the size of the head
light and insert a rubber band around
the edge of each. Upon reaching the city
put these on the headlights

A FRITZLESS EDEN.
Teuton to Be Barred from Residence in
Ceylon.

The legislative council of Ceylon has
passed a resolution barring from resi-

Before the war there were great Ger
man trading houses in Colombo. Ger
man commercial travellers sold their
wares in the faraway highland towns
where the altitude makes the weather
cold while Colombo swelters by the sea
like Madras or Bombay. German
princes arrived with their great retin-
ues and hunted buffalo which came to
drink at the tanks builded by for
gotten kings who belonged to forgotten
dynasties in forgotten centuries.
"Our glorious Fritz now Mr.. 1oh-

When Dawn Lets Down Her Hair

Upon the fields below,
The waking woods the rapture share;
The clouds begin to glow;
New hopes with all the flowers unfold;
The grass with dew is starr'd;
The pools are mirrors framed in gold:
And every bird bard!
When Dawn lets down her amber hair,
Upon the earth below;
There seems the bliss within the air
OF Eden, long ago;
The Wind in speech circular
Breathes by the wooded wall;
And happy morning passes by
In vesture virginia.!
When Dawn lets down her yellow hair
Ger all the landscape spread
Across her bosom white and fair
There steals a streak of red;
And fraught with all the power of low
The charm and sway the soul
Her glance of glory from above
Transmogrifies the whole!
| seem to feel another birth
Beneath her amber beams;
The gold she lavishes on Earth,
Is mingled with my dreams!
