MPAICN FOR
 BUYING PUBLIC

The Fair Price Committee of Bridgeport is about to launch a cam paign to help living conditions. The time has come when it is necessary for the people to buy only those ar ticles they really need, and to do this from among the more medium priced goods.
 This campaign is not by way of criticism of local merchants, or to hint at profteering. The consumer must know that when a commodity is controlled by a few people, and these people push the price of that com modity up, the local merchant is forced to go up with the prices.
 In some cases the consumer is to be blamed for increased prices, often of two articles purchasing the one inferior in quality but higher in price through a lack of knowledge of quaI- ities and values.
 Much of the high cost of living may be traced to extravaganza and ignorance, which can only be correct ed by campaign of education. This the Fair Price Committee of Bridge port intends to do. One of their first projects along this line is the Save Money on Meat Week, beginning April 12.

PLENTY OF MEAT
 IN ENGLAND NOW

Consumption of frozen meats in Great Britain had by the end of the year 1919 fallen off to the extent of 30 per cent. from its pre-war stan dard, yet at the end of the year there were large stocks on hand which could not be marketed for lack of demand. Such is the outstanding feature of the frozen meat trade in Britain, according to the Annual Review" just published by W. We'd del & Co.,, Ltd, of London.
 Continuing, the "Review' points out that, although Government con- trol was retained throughout the year, prices were maintained at an ar ti6cially high level instead of being reduced.
 E'The most determined believers in the virtues of Government control as a panacea for high prices have" states the report, "come to realize that their pet remedy is a delusion.
 The masses of the people wonder why
 they have had to pay such unheard.
 of prices, in spite of an accumulation
 of supplies so great that 1atterly the
 markets of the country could not ab-
 sorb them, stores being blocked and
 many ships hung up in the ports waiting to discharge
 Official wholesale quotations for imported meats have remained ab- normally high, though lower on aver | age than in 1918, and closed on De- cember 31 at a level 143 per cent. above that ruling just before the outbreak of war. In the case of home 1 grown meats, prices were higher | than in 1918, and now mark an ad- 1 vance of over 100 per cent. within l the past five years.
 1 Retail quotations have been l maintained at high figures, maximum l prices tending to become minimum 1 prices in all districts and for all qual- ! ities and descriptiG of meat. This 1 appears to have become an almost 1 inevitable accompaniment of control l Retailers, having no incentive to ] compete for custom nor any possi- ! bi1ity of increasing business so long as restrictions are placed on their
 trading, have limited their operations l to handling that quantity which they could make certain of selling at full prices, the resulting turnover beins 1 thus practically free of risk to them l This method of trading has become z more attractive proposition than tha of trying to push sales at competitive
 prices with uncertain financial re
 suits.
 Although there has been a mark
 ed shrinkage since 1913 in the mum
 Der of sheep in this country, there ha been a good increase in the numbe; of cattle. On pre-war basis, the ac tual weight of meat available would
 show a slight increase, but the scare ity of artificial feeding stuffsa havin; brought about an appreciable loss il l the carcase weight of cattle, it i estimated that the total weight O } British meat fit for marketing il | 1919 was only slightly less than il I 1918. The condition of stock i'm r proved in 1919, and the country re s mains full of cattle.
 l tHThe imports into the Unite , Kingdom in 1919 amounted to 52S, s5 t tons. an appreciab1e advance on tn ! previous years total of 4S9, ,3S6 tons Arrivals during the last quarter wer : very much in excess of the consump , l tive demand, and at the end of tn

PUT YOUR EGGS
 IN WATER GLASS

The process of preserving eggs in sodium siEicate---water glass---is known to many people, but there are still some who are a. bit hazy regard ing the details.
 During spring and early summer, when eggs are abundant and reason able in price, attention should be given to preserving them for winter use. Fresh eggs properly preserved may be kept for to F months in ex- cellent condition and used with good results.
 Eggs laid in April, May, or early Juno have been found to keep better than those laid later in the season.
 If satisfactory results are to be ob- tained, the eggs should be fresh and clean and, if possible, infertile. Eggs that float when placed in the solution are not fresh and therefore cannot be preserved. When an egg is only slightly soiled. a cloth danpened with vinegar can be used to remove the stains. Under no circumstances should badly soiled eggs be used for pTeserv- ing; if put into the jar while dirty they will spoil, and washing removes a protective coating which prevents spelling.
 A good method for the preservation of eggs is the use of sodium silicate or water glass. If the price of So- CIium si1icafe is about 30 cents a quart eggs may be preserved at a cost ot approximately ? cents a dozen It is not desirable to use the water glass solution a second time.
 Use quart of sodium sihcate to quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled. Place the mixture in 5-gaHon crock or jar. This will bt sufficient to preserve 15 dozen egg! and will serve as q guide for th' quantity needed to preserve large, numbers of eggs
 The crock should be cleaned thor oo1e.friy. and then sealed and allowed to dry.
 Heat a quantity of water to tn boiling point and allow it to cool.
 When cool, measure out g quarts o water, place it in the crock and add erla.Tt of sodium silicate, stirring tn mixture thoroughly
 The eggs should be placed in tn solution If sufficient eggs are no otytainable when the solution is ifs made. additional eggs may be adde from time to time. Be careful to al low at least inches of the solutio +o cover the eggs at all times.
 Place the crock containing the pre- served eggs in a cool, dry place, we Z covered to prevent evaporation Waxed paper tied around tine top ( +he crock will answer this purpose.

The total receipts in 1911 were 433,2O8 tons; in 1916, 533,b31 tons; in 1915, 662,931 tons; in 1914, 694,427 tons, and in 1913, 720,257 tons.
 The total imports of frozen mutton from all sources last year amounted to 6,426,1S1 carcases, as compared with 2,442, SO1 in 1918, an increase of 3,9S5, BIT carcases, or 163 per cent.
 Taking mutton and lamb together, the total importations aggregated g. 9eS, 400 carcases, as compared with 4,470,856 carcases in 1918-an in crease of 122 per cent. The core spending total for 1918 was 12,936,- 165 carcases, so that the trade in these descriptions of meat has not yer returned to it's pre-war volume, due entirely to lack of shipping facih- ties.
 Arrivals Of frozen beef last year amounted to 3.595.025 quarters, as compared with 3,97S;290 quarters in 1918, a decrease of 2S3,265 quarters, or Fl per cent Receipts of chilled beef showed a further decline in 1919, when only 52,S1S quarters came to hand, as compared with S2,S9o 9 quarters in 191S."

EVEN EMUS HAVE
 FAMILY 'SPATS''

Because of the cold weather it was necessary to conf1ne father and chick to the house for several weeks,' says Lee S. CrandaI, Curator of Birds in the New York Geological Park, writing for the March Boys Life on the peculiarities of the emu. When spring had really come, we turned the pair out with all conf dence, thinking that a happy family reunion was about to take place. But alas for our hopes! The mother was utterly indifferent to her spouse and their offspring and looked at them with unseeing eyes. The father, on his part, was distinctly hostile. When his wife, actuated by chance rather than curiosity, happened near them the male rushed at her with feathers erect, and 1eaping high in the air, launched a kick which, if it had reached it's mark, might have been fatal. But emus are practised fighters, and suddenly drawing herself erect and making a lightning side twist, she easily eluded the blow. Mother emu had no desire to quarrel; she asked only to be allowed to live her own life in peace. But her husband was now aroused and with a rattle of his war drum rushed after her in frenzied rage, the chick trailing after,
 squealing his protests.
 ''It was quite evident that there
 was to be no happy emu family and fearing catastrophe, We hastened to let the female into an adjoining pad dock. Even then the father was not satisfied and continued to rush up and down the fence in the vain attempt to reach his now hated mate. To save the feathers of his neck and breast, which were not made to resist the | pressure of heavy wire, we were forced to place the unprotesting mother out of his sight.
 Peace and contentment now
 reigned. Father and chick addressed | themselves to the business of reduc- 1 ing the available grass in the field, 1 Nature never produced a more so- 1 lictous parent. The chick was not al l lowed to go far from the fathers
 side, and if it attempted to do so, a 1 rapping signal of the snare drum
 quickly brought it back, for it was a l model of obedience. If separated
 from it's parent, it piped uaceasing1y
