London, April s.-A dark picture OF

Muriel Pratt. a well-known London
actress. in a speech the other day.
'The discomfort Of a theater," she
said. even in the West-end. if one is
lucky enough to have a'star' dressing
room, is extraordinarily disagreeable.

NO TURKEY FOR
 THANKSGIVING
START CAMPAIGN FOR A TURKEYLESS THANKS
 GIVING IN OAKLAND.

OAKLAND, Calf, Nov. 26.-(P)- With a view towards lowering the exceedingly high cost of living, the Housewives League of this city has adopted a slogan of Omit TurKeys and started a campaign for a turkey less Thanksgiving.
 At a meeting of the leagues mem bers it was decided that turkey is not
 ssential to the observance of the noliday and people can be thankful on that day when eating anything
 lse. This step on the part of the Housewives was largely caused by the exorbitant prices demanded for the turkeys which are now on the market.

APPEAL FOR PARDON.

Upon the verdict of the court mar Ual becoming public in Fl Paso many of the French residents of Mexico City aopeaIed to President Carranza to pardon General Angeles but the ap- pcaIs of these persons were ignored. An immense throng witnessed the trial a great part of it being compos- ed of society people, scores of whom were personal friends of the convicted man.
The daily Alaska citizen., 1919-11-27

General Felipe Angeles was classed, before the great war, as one of the worlds formost artillerists He had attained considerable fame IS an artillery commander in the Mexican army under the long regime of Presi- dent Diaz and cast his fortune with Francisco I. Madero in the revolution by which Madero seized the Mexican presidency. Subsequently General Angeles enlisted his skill in support .oI the cause of Francisco Villa against the Carranza government and was credited with planning many of the battles Villa won.
 Both friends and enemies of General Angeles have decIa, ed that he was an unselfsh patrj1r and that his hope was to bring abou. peace in Mexico
 He was suc"ossively student in sructor and director of the McNiC1n Military college, Chapultepec. and an author of several textbooks not all .of which dealt w.th military macte",.
 Graduating from Chapultepec ir 1892 he was assigned to the eng uecr3 ank of captain. Tn this latter branch he served as memb2r of several tech Eical commissions, Was sent to Europe t. inspect artillery schools at Foun- taiuhleau and Maj .y He wrote .te%tl"ok embcd' ing some of hia ob- .scNations in Europe and France dec .otated him with the Cross of Tie Lc- .glon of Honor.
 Angeles was barred from returning to Mexico when Madero's revolution occurred but when Madero became provisional president Angeles was re- called and placed in command at ChapultepeC In 1912 he was made a field commander, already having been commissioned as a general and commanded troops in a campaign against the bandit Zapata. In this service he is said to have won the good will of the Mexicans by his Humanitarian policies.
 When Madero sacrificed his life as penalty for his revolution, Angeles was first imprisoned and then banish- ed. He returned to lend his support to Villas various campaigns and 1t is declared that when Villa followed his advice the bandit leader was victori- ous After Villas famous raid upon Columbus, New Mexico, Angeles went
 to the United States and remained there for about two years.
 He returned to Mexico in Novem
 Der 1918 expressing the hope that he
 might unite and pacify that country before it was called to account" He
 accompanied Villa in the attack on Jaurez, June 15, 1919, when American troops crossed the Rio Grande and
 dispersed the revOlutionists. After
 this incident he appealed to the Unit
 ed States military authorities in the
 name of the fellowship which exists among military men" to define the
 attitude of the United States toward
 Mexican revolutionists but the United
 States authorities declined to com Imunicate with him on the ground that
 he did not represent the Mexican gov
 ernment.
 As evidence that General Angeles
 was prompted by desire to promote

peace in Mexico it has been said that Villas payroll which was among his papers taken in the attack on Jaure2 showed that while Villas brother, Hipolito, was credited with drawing $20,00O Angeles name was on the list at $2O.
 Angeles was born in the town of Zacualtipan, in the state of Hidalgo, June 12, 1869 He was the son of a retired colonel who had served in the War of Intervention and against Maxmilian when the effort was made 10 make that prince emperor of Mex ico His wife and three sons lived was in the field with Villa

FL PASO, Nov. 26.-LP)-In the presence of a detachment of federal troops the sentence imposed on Gen eral Felipe Angeles by the court martial yesterday was carried out. Shortly after sunrise the general was taken from his cell and marched to the scene of execution where there vas no delay in carrying out the order of the court The rebel leader faced the firing squad calmly and at no time did he display any nervousness. Following a trial which began Mon day morning and lasted thru that and the succeeding day, Angeles was convicted of melting rebellion against the government and sentenc- ed to be shot.
 When sentence was pronounced on him yesterday evening General Angeles remained unmoyed and seem ed not the least bit surprised at his fate. For years he has been reCOg- nized as one of the leading military men in Mexico and has caused the federal government endless trouble. He k credited with bringing the fam ous French seyeuty-hye to its present state of perfection.

endless duplication and expense making meat too high priced Time has proved that the dress ing and distribution of meats on a large scale through centrally located plants is economical to the consumer and has given him a wider choice as to quality.
 Local butchers have found that they can order any grade and weight, without waste, and suited exactly to their GUS toner's desires.
 The meats we ship and handle through this market are all selected stock taken from the finest of these quality cattle.
The daily Alaska citizen., 1919-11-27

Your juicy steak, national in its popularity, is far from being na- tional in its origin.
 Ten Mississippi valley states raise and feed much of the beef which you like so well.
 The big herds of quality cattle are fattened in an even smaller area, known as the "corn belt. No feed has yet been discovered that is as cheap and fattening IS this yellow grain.
 This meat must be dressed, chill ed and shipped many miles to the other 38 states. Whose job is it? Your local butcher cannot do it. If each butcher built packing plant, there would be

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too
high
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, cents is for packers
profit, Is cents is for operating expenses
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices Of live stock and meat
move up and down together
The live stock raiser points to rising
costs Of raising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher wages
of living
No one, apparently, is responsible. No
one, apparently, is benefited by higher
prices and higher income.
We are all living on high-priced scale
One trouble is, that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods, so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.

To Save Pencils.

A great saving of lead pencils may
DE effected by using metallic pencil
holders which can be bought at the
stationer's for 10 or 10 cents In this
way you will get the use of almost
the entire length of the pencil. Or
dinarily about one-third of the pen
Gil goes to waste. An ordinary stenog-
rapher or clerk will by this plan save
about 30 pencils a year-Thrift Mag
