More Beef.

More pork and poultry are con-
sumed per capita in the country than
In urban communities, while denizens
of the cities eat more beef, veal and
mutton than dwellers in the rural
districts, according to a report made
by the department OF agriculture
This is announced as the first ade-
ouate information ever obtained on
this subject.
The total consumption of meat per
capita is 9 percent greater in the
country than in the city, and the ex-
cess is observable in varying degrees
in the various conventional geo.
graphic divisions. Consumption of
beef alone is nearly two-thirds
greater in the cities than in the
country. In respect to veal and NUT
ton also the consumption per capita
is greater among the urban popula-
ton than in the rural communities.
The use of veal is 119 percent, and
that of mutton 40 percent, greater in
the cities than in the country.

MAY NOT BUILD
THEATER OVER
Burned Structure at Quincy May Not
Be Replaced-AIi Shove Booked
Have Been Cancelled
For Season. ,

That the Empire Hippodrome thea
ter at Quincy may not be rebuilt Is
the idea of Manager Busby according
to the following from the Quincy
Wing:
While no decision has been reached
Manager w. l.. Busby was much In
doubt Friday that the theater would
be rebuilt and practically all the
shows that have been booked for the
season were cancelled.
The insurance on the building
amounted to $4,000 which will fall
far short of covering the cost OF re
placing the damage. The walls that
are still standing in the rear of the
building will probably have to be torn
down. They are out of plumb and
have already been condemned and
pronounced dangerous.
The principal stockholders In both
the building and operative companies
are women, widows of Messrs. Cham.
berlain and Harrington. The widow
of Frank Chamberlain is again mar
ried and lives in Hartford, Conn, and
Mrs. Sam Harrington lives in Peoria.
The theater has never paid DIVIDENDS
on its stock and for this reason Mr..
Busby is dubious whether or not these
two women will be willing to put
more money into the project. The
/ chances for the theater to make
money was never brighter than it has
been this year, however, and the fire
coming at this time is considered a
great blow.
An attorney for the former Mrs.
Chamberlain was to arrive in the city
Friday night for conference with

only one Of it's kind in the world.
which produces type matter with no
type set, no metal slugs cast, no
photo-engravings or zinc etchings In
reproducing photographs, and no
"make-ready." A machine further
more by which all lines are automatt
cally made to end evenly and every
letter, from "i' to wv" given its exact
space value.
Years of labor. thousands of dollars
and the genius of many engineers
have gone into the invention which
promises to mean as much to the
printing industry of the future as the
invention Of the stereotype plate and
the linotype composition meant some
years ago.
Clean and quiet are the operations
involved. The inventors predict rugs
on the floor of the new printing office
using the machine, where no printers
devil will ever spill ink or molten
metal upon them-for there will be
no ink and no metal to spill.
The operator seated with his copy
before the keyboard Of what looks to
be a typewriter strikes the keys and
so sets in action a small punch which
perforates roll of paper that is being
fed automatically through the ma
chine. An adding machine is coupled
with the keyboard in such way that
spaces between words are added or
subtracted in precise accord with the
desired length of the line. To this the
operator pays no attention other than
the throwing of lever at the end OF
each line.
From the end of the machine ap-
pears a perforated paper which one
could scarcely distinguish from a
pianola record, and also narrow
tape showing odd little rows OF
punches. These are inserted into a
printing machine and tiny motor
started. The perforationS in the
wider tape control the motions OF
ntype disc at one end of the machine,
those in the narrow tape regulate the
| spacing. The perforations which IN a
