How England Grovso.

A great deal, of interest is taken
In England In the question Of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually, tears them away. but
this very process furnishes defense
for the land by: building up long
beaches Of sand and shingle which ar
rest the waves before they can attack
the cliffs. An effort Is making to pre-
vent, or better regulate, the removal Of
this material for constructions ana sfuad
building, because In many places Its
removal has permitted the sea froe-
y to exert it's power Of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascertained
that In the last half century England
has lost 6!64O acres BY sea erosion
and gained $4,000 acres through re.
claiming land the existence Of which

down BY the rivers. =

BEosTEADs THAT SAVE SPACE

Latsst idea to De Placed M.
n - X. on the Market, -, #%5,

Two-story beds, that 10 to say, bed
steads containing two beds placed one
above the other. have been in use for
years, but something rather novel IN
this line is the rhree-story bed, con-
tanning three beds, one above another,
which was placed upon the market not
10 long ago. p" ~, ,..' Z
These bedsteads, which are made
entirely Of iron, are 50 constructed
that they can be Knocked down to oc-
cupy comparatively small space for
convenience in handling In shipment
and transportation, the three-story
bed separating into five parts, the head
and foot sections and tho three beds,
each bed section having a wire mat
tress permanently attached to the side
and end pieces.
At the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that fit into slots placed at
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces. To set up a two or three-story
bed one simply stands up the head and
foot pieces and drops the pins on the
mattress frames into the slots and
there is the bedstead with its wire
springs in, each tier ready to receive
the mattresses. ,...;..
Bedsteads Of this sort are intended
for camps, apartments, steamers or
wherever the floor space is limited. ,

suited In a general reduction In
groceries and meats of not more

0gures tahulated here today.
But a general move to scale down
prices still further on foodstuffs is
atoot.

ssid. represent an investment of fif-
teen billion dollars. Farmers. mil
,ers sugar refiners, bcakfast food
makers, meat packers. stockmen,
wholesale and cornerstone grocery
men will be represented.
The nucleus for this meeting will
be the New York state Retail Gro

the food industry will be asked to
cooperate In giving the nation an
example In lower prices and better

However, a canvass of New York
stores showed that many grocers
still had on hand goods purchased at
peak prices. that they had not cut
prices on them In conformity with
wholesale replacement costs, and
iha, they hoped to dispose OF them
IN the Christmas trade. This con-
dt!on, they argued, was the same in
most other retail lines.
Mr. Meyer said one of the objects
Of the proposed convention would be
to impress upon the retailer the
necessity of reducing his prices at

mates that wholesale prices have
