MECHANICAL, DAIRY"
 NEAR NITRO, WEST VIRGINIA

Washington. Sept 23-Lack of pastur- age for dairy cattle in the vicinity of Mi tro, West Virginia, resulted in the es- tablishment at that war-buiit city of a mechanical dairy" where milk and cream equivalent toa the output of a farm with 1,500 milk cows was produced, according to a government report just published. Bottles and cans of the fluid were la belled "reconstructed' milk or cream and "nitrolac"
 Accommodations for 25,0oO inhabitants were provided at Nitro schools, church es, hospitals, department stores, restaur- ants, and all the other elements of n modern well-equipped community being part Of the project As a construction problem it was comparatively simple, but officials began to strike snags as soon as they approached the task of insuring a supply of staple foodstuffs, particularly of fresh milk.
 Nitro is situated in a mountaneous dis trict where little, if any natural pas turage is available Local milk supplies were barely sufficient to satisfy the normal demands of Charlestown, the nearest metropolis. Expansion of the natural supply being out of the question the public health service was asked for aid and the first ''mechanica dairy re- suited.

 What to Eat to Grow Vigorous

 A few grains taken with meals supply just the organic phosphate that most foods lack, and if taken regularly. say ten grains with each meal, ought to have 2 wonderfully upbuiiding effect in a few weeks on people who are weak, become easily fatigued. or are growing old and discouraged before their time.

Doctors Agree That Present Day Foods Do Not Supply Enough Phosphate-A Vital ly Necessary Element.
Bitro-P Phosphate a Common Organic Phosphate Is What Nerve Sick Tired Out Thin People Need.

If nervous people would eat more old fashioned oatmeal, graham bread, dried beans and peas. the yolks of many eggs. and even the despised circus peanut, they would be helped wonderfully.
 Rye bread Is fine also, and so are len tils and unpublished rice.
 This is because these particular foods are rich in phosphorus, and, as most peo- pie know, this is vital element of not only the nerve cells, but of every other cell in the body.
 There isn't enough organic phosphate in modern prepared foods to do over 40 per cent. of the men and women of Amer ica very much good.
 That is why so many people of today are nerve sick, weak, rundown, have nc ambition and in many cases are simply skin and bone"
 In order to supply this deficiency ot phosphorus, physicians in New York art prescribing organic phosphate. whicf | feeds the starving nerves just what theI heed.

Prices in

The difference is S1S.17, which repre- sents the increase in cost of these 12 articles of daily household necessity in IS years. The present prices are 260 per cent of the 1904 prices. That is, the same things which one bought in 1904 for a dollar cost him, at the same store, $2.6o now.
 There are. I believe, certain groups of men at Washington who draw big salaries from the treasury fo- "fggerin' the movements in prices. We have all read their various and multifarious pronounce n1ents, according to which the cost of living has increased from S7 9-16th per cent to 113 11-9Sths per cent, as they happened to "figger" one way or another We, most of us. know about what such computations are based on and what they are worth.
 Here. however, in this stOrekeeper's comparison. we get down to brass tacks We strike something tangible. We know the figures on which the comparison is based, for we're paying 'em now, and we paid 'ern Is years ago. We're on solid ground, for once. And that's better, even if the ground is unduly elevated, than fog-bank of estimates and guesses and arbitrary deductions, such as the Wash ington statements are mostly based upon
 It is net claimed that these local prices accurately represent the facts in all parts of the country But they do state the facts with mathematical accuracy for this particular neighborhood- No doubt simi- lar comparisons, Similarly obtained from similar books of record in other locali- ties, would show about the same general results. There is no reason to suppose that this little farming town was favored with exceptionally low prices in 1904 or victimized with exceptionally high ones in 1920. We're about the average coun- try community and we get about the same treatment which is accorded other country communities.
 I've hundred and sixty per cent! Note those figures again. The same storekeep- CTS books showed that he was paying 32 cents a dozen for eggs in 1904. Applying The percentage charged for other necessi. ties, not farm-produced, we get S3 cents as the price he should be paying now AS matter of fact, he is paying 70 cents which makes the poultryman just 13 centt worse of now than he was in 1904

Various instances were cited of exorbitant charges for common necessaries of life. At last the storekeeper, being appealed to for an answer to the question How much have things gone up, anyway hunted up some old books and the sel-appointed secretary of the club took down the figures. Here they are, prices charged at the same store for the same articles in 1904 and 1920:
