showed the Rock Island prices to
be far in advance. She said that
she has been told that the price
for this summer is to be $3.50 per
1000 pounds. She said that no
action would be taken by the wom-
ems committee until a definite
price had been made public by the
ice dealers.
She said that there is nothing in
the contention that higher wages
for labor here is reason for the
high prices. She says that she has
figures to show that labor is paid
as much elsewhere, and that prices
are not so high as here. 1t was
pointed out that it is no longer a
patriotic duty to pay more for COM
modities in your own town, when
they can be purchased cheaper
elsewhere.
Charge was made that dealers in
various businesses will purchase
various things for their own use
wherever it can be bought the
cheapest and that in many in
stances they purchase articles al
wholesale in cities in various parts
of the country in order to buy fol
less than in their home town. Rock

Ice situation in Rock Island wa
also brought up and gained ever
honors in the discussion, which
also included talk Of almost every
thing else that is bought or sold.
Things were finally untangled t,
the extent that it could be seel
that there was going to be no de
cision on a way Of beating the higl
cost Of meat, and possibly nothini
else.
The persons present finally cam
to the conclusion that to delve int
the meat situation would be a haz
ardous undertaking. Various opin
ions were put forth accounting TO
the high prices of meat. Some sal
that the people want the best, hav
the money to pay for it, and vii
accept nothing else, while other
claimed that only 10 per cent NOR
Of the poorer people are buyin

buy them. Others pointed out that
tho best grades would then cost so
much that only the comparatively
rich could buy them and the poorer
people would then be compelled to
purchase nothing but the cheap
grades.
It was contended by some that
there should be law to stop the
killing Of veal undsf . certain are.
It WAS declared that some farmers
Will sell ysung calves to save
milk and would even go 90 far az
to kill them IN some casessin order
not to have to keep them until they
would be salable for. veal. It was
said that this alleged practice ac-
counts for short beef supply. 1t
was claimed that Argentina has. one
beef for every person as result OF
= law on killing veal, while there
is only one beef for every seven
persons in the United States.
1t was also declared that high
prices OF meat was considerably
due to some persons buying chick
ems that weight one pound or less,
and that demand had thus been
invoked for these broilers. It was
said that fowls should not be killed
until they gain a reasonable
weight.
Advise Women Stay Home.
Another solution of the situa-
ton was put forth in the statement
OF one man that would provide for
housewives staying home five days
out Of every week. 1t was contend.
ed that butchers find that large
number Of women will attend some
club or other meeting until a late
hour in the evening and then rush
into the butcher shop for cut OF
meat that can be hurriedly cooked
1t was declared that there is Ger.

fmeat hurriedly cooked has in some
instances a certain amount Of
waste. However, it was said that &
campaign to get women to stay
home five days a week in order t.

not be attempted. Representative!
of the packing industry made var
ious statements that resulted il
the final sitting of the proposition
into a stage where decision wal
reached that the hind quarters of /;

and Strong, Now.

Il had suffered so much l had fall
len off thirty-five pounds but since
taking Tanlac I have regained every
ounce of my lost weight and am en-
joying better health than in years"
was the statement made recently by

tracing painter. living at 6409 East
Twelfth street, Kansas City, Mo.
For the past four years. he con-
tinued," 1 have been bothered with a
case of stomach trouble that has made
life miserable for me. My appetite
want a bite and other days I could
hardly get enough to eat. My digestion
was so bad that it was hard for me to
retain what 1 ate. Gas always bloated
me up after 1 ate anything and often
I had bilious attacks. At times L got
very dizzy and every few weeks I had
such bad spell that would have to
lay off from work for two or three
days. I was SO nervous and restless
L could never get a good nights sleep.
AS a result I became weak and run
down and lost weight rapidly.
This was my condition but things
are different since I have taken Tan
lac. All my troubles have left me
and I have been built up until can
hardly realize myself what fine health
I am enjoying. My appetite has been
regulated and it makes no difference
what eat now I digest it without the
least trouble. I can retain everything
1 eat and I am no longer bothered
with gas forming or with bilious at
tacks. don't know what it is to
have a dizzy spell now and 1 never
miss a day from my work. 1 am not
the least bit nervous and 1 sleep sound
every night. AS I said, 1 have gained
thirty-five pounds in weight and I
feel better and stronger than have
in many years.

KEARNS SITS TIGHT
Dempsey Carpenter Fight Plans Now

New York. Jan. 13-Another move
that is making the Dempsey -Carpen-

with the announcement of Charles b.
Cochrahe that the fight cannot be held
in New Jersey and that it must be held
in Europe Just twenty-four hours
before the London promoter had an
nounced just as officially that it would
be held across the river.
At the Fox offices it was believed
that Kearns meant it when he is re-
ported to have said he was going to
''sit tight" for a month and talk to no
one. He has completely ignored the
offer made him by the Fox interests
for a fight the Fourth of July or La

Kearns is also reported to have
given the gate to the Tia Juana rumor,
claiming that Coffroth was just jesting
when he made the offer.
