SQUARE.

DR. Allen whose theories of dictetics
have gained him wide publicity thru.
out the midwest during recent years.
yesterday addressed small crowd at
n public meeting in Washington
square, and prevailed upon his hear.
ers to look well to the food they
eat.
Dir Allen who married Miss Lillian
Suehr of Ottawa, gained national
prominence few years ago when he
subsisted for a period Of sixty days
on nothing but peanuts rs diet
In 1918, when food prices were at
their peak, DR., Allen walked from
Chicago to Kansas City and spent
never more than twenty cents daily
for food At the end OF the trip he
had gained in weight.
In Sundays discourse he covered
a number Of topics.
He said in part:
"The iniquites Of the fathers are
visited upon the children the good
old book says, and equally so are
virtues.
Down in our country-the Ozarks
the land of million smiles as il
has been well phrased-the land is
less productive. far, than here. but
there Is no finer stock raising couu-
try. Lately there has been a great
movement instituted for improved
stock, and its slogan is Better sires."
Every stoclman knows that the
good qualities of the dam must be
transmitted chiefly from the sire
"Of course we must not ignore the
importance Of motherhood. It is true
that every great man had a great
mother, but we are too much dis
posed to Net everybody work but

better children.

"The average father is too much

develop the good qualities by re-
pressing the bad. There is good use
for punishment, but example and rel

prices. Eggs sold today for exactly
20 cents a dozen lower than the prices
of last Saturday. According to the
best Informed dealers the low level
has been reached, and at the prices
quoted buyers are taking hold more
freely with the prospect of clean
ing up of the accumulated stocks OF
the past week. Receipts today were
fair, but not excessive, and the mar
ket closed at 35 cents a dozen for
strictly fresh nearby stock. with
steadier tone With colder weather
in sight the market should have an
upward tendency next week.
The general live poultry market
rules easy slGer fair and ample re-
ceipts. vii. demand centered on
smooth. fat young chickens at 80
cents to SO cents a pound. No sur
plus of this stock, but poor and large
shaggy chickens are hard to move at
so cents, Old hens in fair demand
at 33 cents and "a cents. while white
leghorns sell at 33 cents for old and
IS cents for young. Owing to late
ness of season demand for turkeys is
thinning out and prices range from
40 cents to 55 cents a pound. Ducks

geese receipts are ample and market
easy at Is cents to 33 cents.
The weather has been unfavorable
for shipments of dressed poultry to
arrive in good order. and with the ex-
ception of capons the demand is linn
tied. Capons are quoted at 40 to so
cents a pound. but other dressed
poultry will not bring more than a
cent or two a pound over live and
must be OF choice to fancy quality to
bring that.
The white potato market is dull and
lower under liberal receipts. and it
takes choice No. 1 stock to bring top
prices of s1.25 to :35 per 100 pounds.
Maryland and Virginia McCormicks
will only bring $1.00 to $1.15. and No.
stock of all kinds is slow sale at so
cents per 100 pounds. Sweets and
yams also easier at $3.50 to $3.50
barrel, and No Is and culls of both
are hard to sell at $500 to $3.50 per
barrel.
This being between seasons for ma
tive and nearby garden truck. there
is no especial snap to the demand.
and prices are governed entirely by
the quality and condition.
Apple receipts are running lighter,
with the demand fair for select pack
ed, good eating varieties. which bring
from $500 to $500 a basrel. while all
varieties of No are quoted at $3.50
and $3.50: loose unpacked stock will
sell at $1.50 to $1.65 per 100 pounds,
according to quality and condition.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
AT LOW EBB IN new YORK

NEW YORK. February 12.-Whole-
sale prices for fruits and vegetables
are so low in the New York market
that many farmers who shipped
produce here received nothing in re-
turn but a bill for the BALANCE due on
freight charges. DR.. Eugene H. Porter,
stete commissioner of foods and mar
kets. declared in a statement here to-
day. Even with prices at pre-war
levels "people seem to be eating less
than usual" he added.
Farmers and wholesalers. the COM
missioner said, believe this condition
due to the retail trade not giving
the benefit of the low prices to the
losses accrued to farmer shippers
were cited.
Florida. sold here for $339. the COM
missioner said. Total expenses were
s4s1, which the farmer had to pay. A
carload Of spinach from Texas sold
on the wholesale market for 1852 less
than freight and carriage expenses.
