"The feeding of the people is be coming a real problem, and the ques tion of meat enters largely Into tho problem cf fCvuius the mitton. With the price of beef soaring higher and higher, the average family is com pelled to cut from the daily ration the item of meat. Already it is be yond the reach of many. Tlie an swer is that the scarcity of bo/?f cat tle makes it impossible foiiviho butch ers to get sufficient nommera of cat tle to slaughter to rn*?t tho demand ] and the price is uco^dlngly out of all reason.

AH TO HULLER SKATKS We havo been''asked to comment upon the matter ot children taking so many privileges in the use of rol ler skaten. Thu ta a matter upon which we dislike to have anything to say. SO .'ar as our observation is concerned tho little folks are merely [having pleasure, an innocent, health ful pustime, and we have no - com plaint to make. Mut there are aooil j people who tell us that in cortatn sec tions of Hie city the children are tool "promiscuous." Wc huve nothing to When we an- called upon io take sides against tho little people In their pastimes, we hesltnte. They should not be ullowed to run wild of course, but they should be. permitted healthful exercise, even if the city has to give them a play ground and a public park-which will come some day and why not now? One of the ?weeteat nnd yet saddest of little plays that have ever appealed to human sentiment waa the beautiful musical light drama. "Toyland". The chorus in one of the acts runs: "Toy land, Joyland. l.lttlo-Girl-andBoy l.und. When once you cross its bord era, you can ne'er return again." There ls more phll"?rnhy tn those few simple words than in some whole booka of metaphysics. Let the little people he happy as long as they may. The time will come all too soon when sorrow and age wll Creep upon them. "Sorrow, like a heavy hanging boll. Once act on ringing, with its with its own weight goes-" lt i;? to the purent? ne would appeal -require, the little folks to be re spectful to their elders, and to take up hut n part of the sidewalk when they are skating. Do not let them force ladies to walk in the streets.

Tamplco appears to be doomed. And when it does, the fu ture of affairs in .Mexico will be pa tent, so far as Huerta is concerned The greatest factor in thin contest ? has been the contest for diplomat i-.' attention. Huerta had this from a few foreign nations, who later stated that Ihey had been too precipitate in the matter. His regime cannot stand any nmre of Ute serious reverses that he, has felt. Th'mpico is one of the most Impor tant northern ports of Mexico, and ?offers the constitutlonal?ts communis j cation with tho outside world. Torre?n j and Juarez being far Inland.

SANITARY CANS SELECTED FOR THE CITY WILL COST $4,000 People of Anderson Will Be Able To Secure Them at Rate Of $3.00 Each A special meeting of the Anderson Roard of lleuith took place yesterday afternoon! Kr. Prank Ashmore, t!ie chairman, being in thc chair, at which IIIHI a representative or the Stevena Company ot Atlanta appeared and sub mitted for the inspection of tho body a type of sanitary cans now in tine in a number of different < ?ties. Th? eau exhibited by Mr. Stevens met with the hearty approval of tile board and that body ut ?nu e pla? ed an ?>rder with tin* Atlanta manufacturer for enough of I bi se ? ans to supply the city. All told it will represent an expenditure of approximately $4,onn, although the amount muy be slightly smaller thar this. The cans will he sold to th? public bf Anderson for a piece. . lt will be remembered that city council recently passed an ordinance, at the request of the Hoard of Health, in which it saya that ev?>ry surface closet in tlie city must be supplied with one of these sanitary cans. It will be beneficial to the public health and while some of the property own ers may protest it is an assured fact that the majority (will realize tile necessity of sueli a step. Dr. Ashmore said last night that tlie cans would be shipped from At lanta at once and they would probably reacii Anderson within the next week. They;.will certainly be herd within 10 uajs. ?N The question of forcing; the barbers of the city to install towel sterlizers in their sit?os was taken up and dis cussed. Some days ago Dr. J. C. Mitchell, the meat and milk inspector, issued orders that all barber shops, at once install one of these affairs and said that those failing to complv would be prosecuted. Straightway a wail arose, from .the barbers, the ma jority of whom claim that this system is anything but sanitary./ iAt>the meet ing held yesterday the barbers pre sented a petition signed thy 17 of the 21 barber shops In the city, tn which they urged that tho Hoard of Health. they: urged that the Hoard of Health set aside this demand of Dr. Mitchell.
