CAFE MEN HERE SEEP PRICES UP DESPITE COSTS (Continued From Page One.) gin upon which the Bamboo Inn operates when It charges 35 cents for the dish, 31 S-10 cents, or S2l per cent. Os course there is the labor and the orchestra and other overhead to be met out cf that 821 per cent margin. 611 PE3 CENT. IS PRETTY ••FAIR” MARGIN. Few business men would fear for the future if they could do business on 821 per cent. '■> cruin potatoes at this restaurant and the addition of a little cheese will, increase the cost to 40 cents. At practically of the prominent hotel cases, excepting that of the Hotel English, potato prices range from 25 to 3.'. cents. English’s rivals some of tne cafeterias, 20 cents being the top potato price. It raav possibly be a surprise to learn that the Claypool Hotel case’s highest potato price is a quarter. The State Life dairy lunch and White's, cafeteria had 'em in some hiunble forms for 5 cents per dish. If you want to know of a way tc turn yocr money over so often and with such profit that your head will swim just glance at the prices which practloJly all of the eating places are getting lor the 1 cent tomato. You don’t have to cook tomatoes, so there Is no gas or cook's handling In volved. All you have to do is to slice up one or two of the on*-cent beauties, slap them on a plate and hand them over the counter of the cafeteria, or carry them out to the snowy linen In the case and charge 50 cents for them, as does the Lincoln, or apparently, De a bit more moderate, and assess the patron 35 cents for a couple of them, us does the Claypool case and the Bamboo Inn.

The margin still will be approximately ICOO per cent. •“ROASTIN' EARS” COME IN AS PROFIT AIDS. The person who has parted with a quarter for an ear of sweet corn-on-the-cob at the Claypool may be Interested to learn that the highest wholesale price for sweet corn during the past two weeks was 25 cents per dozen, making each ear cost 2 l-24th of a cent. The retail price in this Instance Is Just twelve times the wholesale. Moat of the cafeterias and some of the hotels manage to exist with a charge of 10 or 15 cents p*.r ear. Passing over the price of sliced cacumbers, which are somewhat hard to get, one may Jump arbitrarily into the cost of peaches and find a shock therein. Michigan Elbertas cost $4 75 per bushel at one time within the fortnight. Since there are approximately 150 peachaa to the bushel the highest average coat each was 31-6 cents. For serving a couple of them with a little cream and sugar the Lincoln got half a dollar, while the Bamboo Inn, the Washington case and the Claypool case struggled along on 85 cents. The Circle Case and the Severin Inn got along with 30 cents and only about 850 per cent for overhead and profit. Selling watermelons, even with the high wholesale cost of 50 to 75 cents each. Is another way to rival Wallingford. Commission men say that the melons bought by restaurants and cases seldom If ever cost more than 50 cents and most of them serve sixteen persons from each melon. TEN SERVINGS AVERAGE TO EACH WATERMELON. In some places, however, eight and ten only are served from each melon, so to be fair a basis of ten will be used. This 5-cent slice gets 30 cents at the Lincoln case and Bamboo Inn and 35 cants at the Claypool. The State Life Dairy Lunch was serving a nice slice at the old-fashioned price of 10 cents. There apparently has been less profit in cantaloupes than In other seasonable foods, since the average wholesale cost lately has been around 22 cents each and at moat places they are being served at 25 and 20 cents per half. Two can live as cheaply and as wsll as one, provided the one eats at the hlgherelass cases and the two buy closely and eat at home. The Better Business Bureau Is sending a special bulletin to hotels, restaurants ind lodging houses, requesting that they refrain from any act which would bear *ut the statement of a newspaper in another State, that Indianapolis hotels will take advantage of the G. A. R. national encampment next week to “hold op” for “all the firiffic will bear.” The Bulletin says: “The Better Business Bureau. In appealing to ludlanapolis business men generally to see that these aged men and women are extended every courtesy, wishes to call your attention to these unfair rumors and to ask your assistance In seeing that there shall be no cause for reporting a single case of profiteering, or charging toore than usual for food.”

Curtain of Years Is Drawn Back as Boys of ’6l Gather Again

Mountain, Rappahannock, Second Buli Run, South Mountain, Antletam, Frederlcksburgh, Chancellorsvllle and Gettysburg. “Buddies” again are they as yarns of the flgbtln' days are swapped and stories first told around the camp fires years ago are told again. The same patriotic spirit which caused them to desert the farms, the towns and cities of '6l rushes through their bodies today and the Grand Army Is gathering here today for a week of comradeship In which Indiana as well as the nation bids them welcome a million times. TWO PLACES OF INTEREST. Two places are visited first by the veterans on their arrival In the city—the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Monument on the Circle, and the headquarters of the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Col. Oran Perry, In charge of the Mon ument. personally Is welcoming the veterars to Indianapolis and his rooms in the Monament are the Mecca of every member of the Grand Army. The next place of equal importance Is the headquarters of the Loyal Legion, where Capt. Alexander M. Scott, recorder of the local legion, calls all the "boys" by their first name. “I thought the grass would be g rowin' over you,” said one veteran on greeting Captain Scott at the legion headquarters. Captain Scott smiled and said: "And If I have my way about St, the grass will not be a growln’ over me for many more years," Then the two veterans, who had not seen each other for twenty odd yenre, stood at attention, then shook hands. Tucked away in the official archive* <>f the headquarters of the Loyal Legion, in the When building, are the records of the part that hundreds of Indiana soldiers of the Civil War took In tho great campaign. ONLY EIGHTY OF ORIGINAL 400 LEFT. Out of an original membership of more than 400, the roster today contains the names of about eighty living members of the orlgoal membership, according to Captain Scott. The Grim Reaper has so thinned-the ranks of these veterans that only a few will be able to Join In the activities of gala week. Colonel David X. Foster .of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Is present commander of the Loyal Legion and his record in the great campaign reflects the patriotic spirit of the state. , Colonel Foster does not speak of his achievements on the battle fields of years psst. but the record discloses what a great patriot he la. Colot.el Foster will be here to aid in

the great re option and reunion of the veterans. Although wounded at Antletam ai)d Froderlcktihurch, Colonel Foster today Is engaged actively as a manufacturer and u lurnlturn merchant. The records show that Colonel Foster was with the first troops that went up the Potomac to Harper’s Ferry when a detachment of the regiment engaged the enemy July 4, '6l. lie was then attached to General Patterson’s command and after that wan in the Army of the Shenandoah and later In the Army of Virginia aud next in the Army of the Potomac.

Captain Layman of Irvington volunteered when he was 17 years old, at Greeneastle, Ind., and retired years later as a captain. Colonel Perry again has made himself popular with all members of the Grand Army by establishing a war picture gallery in the basement of the Soldiers and Sailors' Monument, which will be one of the most frequently visited place* next week, Tenty-sevon years ago the Grand Army held Its national encampment in Indianapolis 70 TER CENT ARE DEAD “Os the 156 members of the T9th In dlana Regiment who attended the encampment twenty-seven years ago here, about 70 per cent are dead,” said Col.
