MEAT WAR IS RAGING
Fight Against "Beef Trust" is Galninj
in All Parts of Country
Oklahoma City, Okla.—"RevolutionH
have been started by less than tho
American people are suffering now,"
says Senator Joseph U Bristow, of
Kansas. "Meat foots up to a quarter
of the average household expenses
and it ought to be cheaper today In-
stead of dearer than it was 25 years
ago, because of the greater economy
in its preparation and sale. When I
was a boy 25 per cent of the carcass

waste—not even the blood."
Senator Bristows words crystal!;
the sentiment of protest In all parts
of the country against tho higher
cost of living. Thus far the move-
ment, which flr*t took form in au ac-
tual boycott at Cleveland, has met

orced perhaps by a widespread U \
ing among small dealers, and iu the
labor unions, that a universal boycott
though effective as a protest, would
actually play into the hands of the
packers, who, with their control of
cold storage houses and refrigerator
lines, could carry their product
through a prolonged boycott, though
a thirty-day cessation of trade would
put the small independent!* out of
business.
Against public clamor, the packers
reply that high prices for meats are
attributable to the high prices of

most troublesome problems with
which a special session of the legis-

here Saturday by several legislators.
A joine committee of the legisla-

seven representatives, of which Re;>

the code commission at their rooms
at the lone hotel. The hearing was
not monotonous but at times exciting,
especially when one or the other of

The Cataract8 of Life
The years between 50 and 60 Are
often the years of great prosperity
and power. They are often also the
years of calamity. It does seem as if
between those years the cataracts of
life are often reached and the soul
awakened to the full experience and
