profits from the sale of foodstuffs be
tween the earth and the mouth
When the fault is found correct it
by forcing the interests that are re
sponsible to be content with reasona
ble return for their time and invest
ments
Congress is thoroughly aroused over
the matter and is planning to sift it
to the bottom Senator Elkins meas
ure along these lines provides for the
appointment of a committee of five
senators to make a comprehensive in
vestigation of the increase in the cost
of living in the last ten years The
committee is also to inquire whether
wages and incomes have kept pace
with the increase in prices Wholesale
and retail prices and their relations
are to be considered and particularly
the prices of meats grain wool cloth
ing rents building materials etc An
important provision is that if the in
creased cost has been caused by any
action of congress or any monopoly
the committee shall report with recom
mendations to relieve the situation
A number of other resolutions on the
subject have been introduced in both
senate and house and steps taken for
a thorough investigation
The National Anti Food Trust
league recently organized in Wash
ington expects to have a membership
of a million shortly The league is
based on the contention that it is not
necessary to be robbed by any com
bine which raises the price of any ar
ticle of general consumption unless
the consumers are passive in the mat
ter If consumers throughout the
country or for that matter in a speci
fied city refuse to buy a certain arti
cle their boycott will be effective
This in brief is the argument on
which Dr E L Scharf leader of the
project has undertaken to form thisj
nation wide organization of consumers
to demonstrate the economic possibili
ties of a combination of the spenders
of the nations income against the va
rious combinations that have been
formed to make these spenders money
realize less than it should
Dr Scharfs plan is to organize at
least 1000000 heads of families iu all
states of the Union and pledge them to
follow orders from a central commit
tee which shall forbid on a given day
the purchase of for instance any beef
product until the market price shall
fall to a reasonable figure from prices
regarded as unreasonable
This program is subject to an im
portant modification In cities wher
the league finds that beef taking that
commodity again as an example is be
ing sold at a fair rate the universal
boycott will not apply
It is the belief of the projectors of
the league that such a boycott will
do an Immense amount of good toward
lowering high prices

The Waiters Tip
Splitting a live dollar bill with a
waiter when you reach a hotel and
promising him the other piece when
you leave if well served is a pooi
game said a veteran waiter iu one
of New Yorks bggest hotels
A man tried it on me once and it
made me sore I took pains to serve
him poorly showing that I did not
care for his money I was so careless
that when he was leaving he refused
me the other half I had him sized
up for a cheap skate so I pointed out
to him that the piece he had was no
good to him as it was and offered to
buy it from him for 2 fie thought
deeply a minute and declined Then
I offered to sell my half for 3 Some
how or other this appealed to him
and he bought it and seemed happy
I II bet he hasnt stopped figuring out
yet whether he won or lost One
thing hes sure of he didnt tip the
waiter New York Sun
A Gentle Hint
A certain butcher is renowned
among his contemporaries for the
quaintness and originality of some ol
his remarks On a road leading to a
neighboring parish he one day met a
gentleman who at the time owed him
for some meat After a salutation the
gentleman remarked
Thats a fine fat dog you have Al
exander
Sae weel he may sir was the re
ply for he has an easy conscience
and is oot o debt and thats mair
than you or I can say
The hint was taken and the butcher
got his money next day London An
