RETAIL MEN.
FEAR RAISE IN WHEAT RREAD
No Occasion for Increase Yet Say
Experts—Attorney General
Gregory Interested.
Chicago, 111.—It has been announc
ed here that resolutions calling on
congress to place an embargo on the
export of wheat and flour as well as
on arms and ammunition would be
introduced at the next meeting of the
Chicago Retail Grocers’ and Butch
ers’ association S. Westerfleld,
chairman of the trades relations com
mittee of the National Association
of the retailers, planned to begin in
this manner a determined fight
against the high cost of flour and in
cidentally of home-baked bread.
Leaders on exchange predict in
some instances that if the price of
wheat went much higher there would
be a general turning to corn in place
of wheat bread, both in this country
and in Europe. Other dealers were
of a contrary opinion and asserted
that bakers’ complaints were unwar
ranted—that a barrel of flour costing
$7 would make 275 loaves of bread,
for which the retailer collected $13.75
at .5 cents a loaf. Who got the dif
ference. was asked, and the conclu
sion was drawn that wheat was still
relatively cheap.
Gregory Interested.
Washington, D. C.—Department of
ficials expressed interest in reports
that the price of a loaf of bread was
about to jump from 5 to 6 cents in
New York. Chicago and possibly other
large cities. No complaints have
reached the department, however,
and no action is in immediate pros
pect.
Attorney General Gregory has kept
a close watch upon any efforts to
raise the cost of living through com
bination of producers in any line, and
it is considered certain that a rise In
bread would be looked into at once.
It is realized at the department that
with wheat far above normal figures
bakers undoubtedly have been forced
to face the prospect of higher flour.
Officials are interested, however, in
learning whether there is any conspi
racy among bakers over the country
to effect a raise in price of their
commodities.

of Neck of Mutton.
To the women who are compelled

Cut up from two to three pounds
of the thick flank or leg-of-mutton
piece of beef into neat pieces, place
it in a casserole with one quart of
cold water or bone stock, bring this
to the boil, then let it simmer gently

three turnips sliced, a lump of sugar, a
small teaspoonful of salt, and half that

cream, but only lightly colored, lay
in the meat and cook for 20 min
utes, stirring it constantly; now add
enough stock or water to cover the
meat thoroughly and stir it all togeth
er till it comes to the boil, when you
draw the pan to one side and let the
contents simmer gently, seasoning it
with salt and a dust of pepper; it will
take from two to three hours slow
cooking. Meanwhile peel and cut up
Into dice two carrots and two turnips
and slice thinly an onion; now toss all
these vegetables in a pan over the

Better Griddle Cakes.
When making griddle cakes of but
termilk, they will be much lighter and
more tender if one small cupful of
very dry bread crumbs is added to
each pint of buttermilk. Less flour
will be needed, and the dry bread will
be utilized.---'‘Home Department,” Na
tional Magazine.

• His Indorsement.
The late Lord Roberts once sent his
orderly to the bank to casa a check,
says Pearson’s Weekly, anc, the clerk
wanted it indorsed.
“What for?” demanded the soldier.
“Well, it’s the rule, and I can't pay
you the money until you do Indorse it,'' k *
he was told. 4
“Oh, all right!” grumbled the mes
senger. So he took back the check
and bit the end of a pen in deep medi
tation for a minute or two. Then he
wrote this:
"I beg to say that I have known Lord
Roberts for several years, and he has
proved himself, times without num
ber, to be as brave as a lion, but al
ways kindly considerate to those who
serve under him. And I have, there
fore, great pleasure in respectfully
indorsing his check.”
