Here are the figures and author ities for them. The average consumption of meat per person for a year is about 180 pounds (U. S. Government) The average American family is 41/2 persons (U. S. Census). Swift & Company’s profit from ail sources in 1919 averaged less than !4 cent per pound on all products including meat. Thi* averages fer the family le&s than ti e price of— 1 cizar per week for father, or 1 street car.fare per week for mother, or , 1 package of gum per week for the children.

He lived In Europe^aud loved the waters and the marshes. His body was 07 feet long and his tall which looked like a whip was 10 feet long. When he stood on all fours he was 12 feet lu height and If he got up on his hind legs he was 30 feet up In the air, “He weighed a goodly number of tons. He 1 ate vegetables and moved slowly about in the marshes, keeping safe away from dry-land animals and all creatures who would do him harm. “Now they have a large skeleton of this creature who lived years and years ago. In one of the museums of one of our largest citiex. “There, people can. see for them selves what a creature he must have been, how large and strange and how unlike anything else that Is about to day. “Now a little boy who was the son of one of the attendants at the mu seum was very much afraid of this skeleton since he heard the creature had once been g Thunder Lizard.

His daddy hud told him to leave in time for supper, and he had said that he would. “His daddy was leaving the museum early as he was going to take a trip with some of tlte other attendants at the museum. “Billy stood before the skeleton of the Thunder Lizard. ‘You've almost frightened me,’ he said. Tin just as afraid of you as I can he. Oh dear. I'll sit down and I’ll look at you and look at you until I force myself to he brave and not to mind you. “That’o what I'll do.’ “So Billy sat down and stayed very still. He didn’t like the Thunder Liz ard's skeleton hut somehow he didn't feel quite so nervous. Maybe It was because he felt « little hit drowsy. “After a tine It seemed as though the Thunder Lizard became bigger and bigger. And then a great voice called out to him, “'Hello, little Trald Cat Rill. Watch me heat you with my tail which has always been like a Whip. “'Let me show you what I can do to you. Yes. let me show you.' •"Oh, please don't,’ cried Billy. *o!i. please don't whip me, my father i< attendant at this museum and. he .won’t like you at all if you hurt his son. He won't like it, I say.’ “'What do I cure whether he’ll like It or not?’ “‘But you’ll he put out of the mu seum.’ Billy cried. Til see to it that you are.’ “' You’ll see to It, will you?’ said tin monster. But suddenly the monstei didn’t seem to look like the Thunder Lizard and there were some creature* hurrying along, one like a beautiful fairy and another like a king with a lovely crown on his head upon whUli Billy saw theAvords ‘Happy und Pleas ant Dreams to All.’ '"Look here. Nightmare Man, v. lint did you mean by doing this and pre tending you were a Thunder Lizard.’ , “‘He’s always been afraid of that Lizard.’ said the Nightmare Man. ’and so I thought I'd have some fun with him. If folks are going to almost be lieve in ghosts and that this poor old skeleton Thunder Lizard could do any thing—well. I'll have some fun.’ “‘You go from here at once/said the Dreamland King. i will have you locked up good and proper this time.’ “'Little hoy,' said the fairy, ‘little Billy boy.
