Editor Stoll of the South Bend Times, thinks it ought to be a comparatively easy matter to teach the meat trust a wholesome lesson. Whenever prices of meat are put up to unreasonable figures people ought to lessen their purchases. This can be-done without seriously affecting a majority of families. It is an acknowledged fact that most fpeop‘le eat more meat than is good for them. Persons performing manuel zabor require more meat than thoSe doing office work, and yet it is:often the case that the latter consumes more meat than the former. It is in this direction where the curtailment is advisable under the conditions indicated above.
