The price of everything, from the flannel. In which the new-born babe Is wrupred. to the coff.n In which the aged n.un 1. laid to rest, haa climbed to an unpreceucnted he.ght. The whole world is trying to acm-taln the cau. but evtry man u. me responsibility. There arc so many twists and turns In the path that hads trom production to consumption, that iu I. difficult to fix responsibility, but every American consumer ha. turned detective and tne search for the guilty oae. Is on. Fortunately there are a number of clues which suggest whore to look for the trouble. First of all. It la found that the Income ef lht aveiage American fam- lly Is tK a year, cf which about $240 goes for food nnd drink. As there are borne lU.OUO.OOO families In tha United States, this nuans thut the nation s food bill Is about $4.t00,ti00,u00 a year. Of this one-third goes for tnu purchawe of meats. The American people are now eating something like twenty billion pounds of meat a year, and for 'every cent that is added to the pound-cost of that meat the consumer ha. to bear an additional bur- den of two hundred million dollar.. A similar raise ln the prlc of other food- stuffs would mean a total Increase of about $000,00u,000 a year in the burdens of the consumer for food alone. Therefore It la plain that the Increase In prices la a case of grand larceny and not of petit larceny. In following out clues the price of beef claims first attention. It Is not a new subject. More than fifty years ago people were asking why there was such a great margin between live cattle and a steak or roast. To nettle the matter the Ameri- can Agriculturist of New York followed an average sized bullock through the shamble, and on to the man who bought the steak and the-' roaat. It was found that 'the dressed beef cost ' upward of 10 centa a pound which Is at least 20 per cent more than the average retailer pay. today. Yet when the man with the market basket came In. hs sot his cut , of porterhouse for 17 tmf a pound, and has round steak for less than 12 cents. Many retailer, who pay 8 cents a pound for a carcass today sell the porterhouse at 25 cents and the round steak at 18. In this year of grace W10 another bul lock waa followed through the shambles ,k. i .... ... - k i i n Jim Cattle quotations show that ln the Chi- J 7 " . r Tl T T I"" T "d k w cln.- V T!

A St. Louis but- Cher bought the carcass of an average - . . . . , steer for 8 cents a pound, and In order to disprove the conclusions of Secretary Wilson, publlahed a detailed account of how he cut It up and sold It. It weighed 500 pounds and coet him $40. He sold the porterhouse steaks at 20 cents, sirloin and nrime rib at 17V4 r.m. ,nrt .t..ir 12H cents, and other cuts proportionately. He received $51.85 for It at retail. The only trouble seems to be that he placed his prices at retail too low. Most people Day 25 cents for norterhnnse an eents for alrloln and rib, and 18 centa for round, rlth the other cuts In Wonortlon. On this basis he Would sell $02.24 worth of beef from the carcass a gross profit of over 45 per cent Mark you, this with no lnla lnln 01 Pr,oeB worK ome "range change ln his figure, other thair to In- annlles- Secretary Wilson says that be creaae his retail qotatlons towhat the yoni 'doubt.

"The Modern Butcher" and tho author, a meat cutter of thirty yeara experience, shows how a carcass must be out up and priced at retail In order to yield a profit of 20 per cent. In an 8-cent car- cass, to yield profit, the porterhouse and slrloln must be retailed at 17 cents, and the round steak at 13 cents. In a -cent car- cass the former must be sold at 18 cent. and the tatter at 15. with the other cuts ln proportion.

Legal aid will be sought by Louis Frank to Kln possession ot his daughter, Anna Frank, who Is In Chicago. Miss Frank waa taken there Sunday :rom the State Hospital for the Insane at Lincoln without th. knowledge and oonsent of her father, who live. In Omaha. Mr. Frank feels aggrleyrd not only . by the. taking away of. h daughter by a man whom he scarcely knows, but because of the representation, made against him to the. asylum, authorities,.

Charlea Simon, who haa th. girl In charge. Mis. Frank grew Into girlhood and then young womanhood and became a stenog rapher In Chicago. Her father, meanwhile, had not neglected hla children and ex ercised a fatherly Interest ln her. Then something happened while the girl wa. la Chicago which oomplotely dethroned her reason. Fhe became helplusa. Her father went to Chicago and brought her back to Omaha. Mr. Frank put her In the Wlit Memorial hospital and then In Bt. Bernard's. Her case seemed Incurable and she was takm before the Board of In sanity Commissioners, who adjudged her insane and sent her to Lincoln. Mi Gets tn. Girl.

It Is plain, therefore, that tha retail food dealer gets a large gross profit He lays heavy tribute upon the consumer, but what about his net profit? One sees but little evidence that he enjoys much of that, Few grocers are getting rich and many of them go Into bankruptcy. ' Aye, here Is tlie rub. Competition, supposed to be tho life of trade, ha. broken up the food re- tailing business Into such little bits that each retailer must make an enormous profit to get a living out of his business. He must live whether he sella $5,000 a year or $25,000. The smaller his sales the greater per cent he must add to each dollar's worth of business, and the larger hi. bu.Hl- ness the closer margin h can give. ' ?The situation Is theame In other things which the consumer uses. A country mer- chant went to Baltimore to buy goods. He bought a suit of clothea at $4.50, which he retailed at $10; a Panama hat, for $4, which retailed at $8. Collars at 89 cents a dozen, which retailed at $1.60 per doxen. Dolls bought for 39 cents a dosen were to be retailed at 10 cents each. Toys which would bring 25 cents each at retail were bought at $138 a doxen.
