FLY SWATTERS Free for the Asking TIPTON'S DRUG STORES STARTLING increases IN FOOD PRICES SHOWN BY FEDERAL REPORT WASHINGTON. June 7.—Following an exhaustive investigation of the in creased cost of living the department of commerce is about to lay bare a series of the most startling facts on the sub ject ever placed before the American public. In this report it is shown that during the last ten years the wholesale prices of all meats have increased from 25 to 100 per cent. It was injhis period that the beef trust established its malevolent domination over the meat food prod ucts of the entire United States. In the same period the wholesale prices for poultry have increased mere than 33 1-3 per cent, while eggs, which in 1890 sold wholesale at the remuner ative price of 17 cents per dozen, were in December. 1911, sold at the arbitrary price of 49 cents per dozen. In 1896 Elgin butter sold at 18 cents per pound. In December of last year it reached the unprecedented, price of 36 cents per pound. Considered in connection with a bul letin issued by the detriment of com merce and labor only a few days ago presenting facts to show that not since 1907 have food animals been so plenti ful as now, the indictment of the beef trust is complete. Poor Man Hit Hardest. It is shown by the report that follow, ing the example of their big brother from Chicago, by whom many of them are controlled, the great corporations which held the balance of the poor men’s breakfast in their hands have in creased their toll in proportion. So startling are the facts contained in this report that they will in a large measure be used by Attorney General Wickersham as a basis for his new ac tion against the beef trust. In this suit Mr. Wickersham will demand that this trust, designated by former Attor ney General Moody as "the meanest aggregation of capital in the world," be dissolved. In making this investigation which covers a period of 22 years, agents of the deparlment visited practically every packing establishment, and every great source of other food supply in the Unit ed States. As the prices presented are those at which food commodities are sold whole sale, the increased co»t of living as pre sented can not be laid to the avarice or greed of the retailer. In collecting their information inves tigators began with the year 1890, at about which time combinations of capi tal began tn reach out after the pool' man's food sunnly. December, 1911, is the last month mentioned In the report. Since that time the price of meat has steadily Increased. Officials of the department merely present an array of figures and allow them to prove the fuels. Beef Price* a Record. The wholesale price of New York beef, regarded by the bureau experts as the best native beef, has seen a gradual rise with inconsequential fluctuations from 7 4-5 cents a pound in 1906. The final month included in the report i.i •January. 1911. New York beef cost the retailer 9 3-5 cents a pound. Eight months later, or In August, it went to 10 1-5 cents, and remained at that price until Decenjber, when it rose 1-20 of a cent to the record mark for the 22-year period. The most remarkable jump In prices occurred in the market in 1897. Pork sold at $8.90 a barrel, the low water fig ure for the 22 years. In 1910 pork rose to $23.73 a barrel, the rise for the thir teen years, with several minor fluctua tions, being gradual. In January, 1911, the price was quoted as $22.47. It rose to $22.75 in February, and then began Is a Reliable Grocer ' $ Wherever you see the design of the negro cook with \ tf* e ca^e ’ n h er hand, —depend upon it you will find a good grocer.

By December, 1911, it had jumped to S3O per barrel. Short rib sides of bacon, the cheap est meat listed, cost least in 1896, when the price dropped to 4 7-10 cents a pound. Its maximum wholesale price was in 1910, when the price went to 12 9-10 cents a pound. Throughout 1911 the price hovered between 11 cents and 8 1-2 cents in January and August, re spectively. A gradual decline followed during the last six months of 1911 and continued until the jump in price reg istered during the present year. Rise and Fall of Mutton. Mutton has been more consistent in its rise and fall than any other class of meat. Its lowest price was reached In 1894 at a fraction over 6 cents a pound. Ten cents was its highest figure in 1910 and during the last year it has fluc tuated between 7 cents in January to 8 7-10 cents in May. Lard, hides and tallow, three other beef trust products, kept pace in high prices with the meats. Hides, from which the poor man’s shoes are made, reached their maximum wholesale cost in December, 1911, the final month of the report, when dealers demanded 16 1-2 cents per pound. Compared with their lowest wholesale price, 6 2-5 cen‘.3 a pound in 1894, hides now cost two and a half times as much as they did eight een years ago. Bread Aviated, Too. The poor man's loaf of bread kept lockstep with the price of his meat. In 1899 the wholesale cost of a barrel of flour, as shown by the report, was $3.77. It went to $4.33 in 1903, $5 in 1908 and $6.49 In 1909. The price re mained practically stationary through the years 1910 and 1911. Rye flour rose from $2.78 a barrel in 1894 to $4.34 in 1904, and then jumped to $4.85 in De cember, 1911. Eggs were sold by wholesale estab lishments for 17 cents a dozen in 1897. Year by year the price rose until it reached 20 cents in 1901, 26 cents In 1905 and 30 cents in January, 1911. From these figures the wholesale cost of a dozen eggs leaped to 47 cents in De cember of last year. In conclusion, the report says: “The average wholesale price for 257 commodities during 1911 was 17 per cent higher than the average wholesale price of the same commodities in 1900, 44 per cent higher than the prices of 1897 and 29 per cent higher than the prices for the ten-year period preced ing 1890.” GRAY HAIR Easy to Restore Natural Color of Your Hair by Simple Method.

Sikeston, Mo. “For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for f° ur or fi ve days at a a time every month, and so weak I could i hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and! was so nervous and ! weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doc tors gave me medi cine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband’s told him about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week.
