Meat Prices Next Fall.
The corn crop is the meat mak
ing crop of the country. When
that is largo meat cheapens.
When the crn crop is deticient
meat advances, as it already has
done under acorn yield this year,
which will not be over eighty per
cent, of the crop in 1910. Con
tinuing the Philadelphia Press
says:
The short corn crops of 1903
and 1904 reduced tho number of
hogs and beeves in the country
and led to tho ve.'y high price for
meat from 1907 to 1910. The
crop of 1900 was large but two
reduced crops 1907 and 1908, fol-
owed and Irom 1901 to 1910,
while population grew a' 5th and
more, meat producing farm am
mats grew scarcely at all.
Last year tho corn crop was a
rpford-hreaker and wholesale
prices of meat fell "last Spring,
though retail prices changed lit
tlo. A short corn crop this year
has now advanced prices again
and next Fall will likely see the
present high level of retail prices
maintained.

that Maryland's death rate, due
t.o tuberculosis exclusively was
higher than tho state of Massa
chusetts New York, Ohio or Perm

Open Letter.
Aug. 21, 1911.
Dear Sir: On next Sunday,
August "7, there will be given as
a supplement with tho Philadel
phia Sunday North American the
regular semimonthly magazine
containing short stories and ser
ials by noted writers. Ever since
the publishers of The North
American have been giving this
magazine away to its readers, the
circulation has been rapidly in
creasing.
This magazine has now become
a regular feature on the second
and fourth Sunday of each month
Those who are not regular sub
scribers would do well to place
their order in advance with their
newsdealer, so as to avoid the dis
appointment, which usually fol
lows.
Yours very truly,
Tin: North Amkricax.

Kansas Will Shave Cats.
Kansas is planning to shave its
cats. The stato board ot tieaitn
took up tho matter.
A few months ago a Chicago
surgeon found six different spec
ies of deadly germs on tho whisk
ersof an alloy cat. The stato
hnnrd crnns one better and de
clares that tho cat carries around
manv more irerms in its thick
j
fur. Hence the order to cut the
fur.
"Shave the cats," said Doctor
Deacon, of tho state board of
health. "Keep their hair short
just hko you would a horse or
dog. If that is too much trouble,
kill them, for they are not worth
much, anyhow."
The board also found that cats
go mad in hot weather. Tne only
known cause for overheating is
too much hair.
Another indictment against the
cat is said to be its aversion to
bathing. For that reason, it is
said, it affords a refuge for germs
of a character not found on clean
er animals.
A mad dog bit one man in
Scotland, Pa., and two men in
Chambersburg one day last week.
that the blue racer, the hog noe
and tho ribbon snakes, together
with their cousins, the rattler,
tho copperhead, the garter and
the pilot snakes will soon be seen
in life like models in surround
ings like their native habits in
the State Museum. A collection
of models of the serpents of Penn
sylvania is the latest to be added
to the fast growing collection be
ing prepared for public study by
tho Stale Museum authorities.
The collection and modeling of
ho snakes hiis been under the
direction of Boyd P. Roth rock,
curator of the museum's division
of zoology, and the collection will
be placed in cases in an apart
ment. Mr. Rothrock captured
nlinfthft snakes used for the
models himself and noted thei
surroundings so that the habits
of the reptiles can bo shown with
the double purpose of making
them appear life like and at the
same time to inform people where
to look for them or rather where
thev lurk
The models will be in plaster
and imitations as to length and
thickness, color and character
istics of the snakes. Some of
them are so life like as to excite
animosity of the live serpents
when placed beside their cages
When the snake group is fin
shod Mr. Rothrock will add the
izards, frogs and other reptiles,
it being the object to have in the
museum everv bird, beast and
reptile ol the Stato,
Judge Desides Ice Cream Is Food.
Northumberland again became
uore promiueut Monday by a de
cision of the court, handed down
by Judge Savidge, when he de
clared against the old blue laws
and said that ice cream is a food
and Can be sold on Sunday tho
same as on any week day.
Some time ago Chief Burges s
Steele, of Northumberland, insti
tuted proceedings and prosecuted
C. M. Cromwell, of that place for
selling ice cream on Sunday.
The case wa3 taken to court and
the outcome was awaited with
deep imerest by all the restaur
ant men in Northumberland and
Sunbury. The case was decided
in favor of Cromwell and Chief
Burgess took an appeal from the
decision and asked for a new trial.
In refusing the appeal Judge
Savidge in his opinion states that
ice cream is on tho bill of fare at
hotels for Sunday dinner and is
therefore considered a lood ana
the appeal was dismissed. Ex.
