Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers' profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of rairing live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the new cost of living.

No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by highsr prices and higher income. We are all living on a high-priced scale. One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quantity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly. Swift Company, U.

What Joyful good humor there was In those simple men and women enough to temper the woes of city If It could have been applied to their relief. They stood thick around the stove warming themselves and taking oft Its griddles end opening Its doors and surveying It Inside nnd out with much curiosity. "Now for the Christmas tree," said Uncle Peabody as he led the way Into our best room, where fire was burning in the old franklin grate. "Come on. hoys an' girls."

These relatives had brought their family glfls, some days before, to he bung on Its branches. The Ihlng flint caught my eye was big silver wntch hanging by long golden chain to one of the boughs.

I uhserved there were many things on the tree which had not been taken down when we younger ones gathered up our wealth and repaired to Aunt Peel's room to feast our eyes upon it and compare our good fortune.

The women und the big girls rolled up their sleeves and went to work with Aunt Peel preparing the dinner. The ii eat turkey and the chicken pic were made ready and put in the oven and i lie potatoes and the onions and the winter sipmsh were soon boiling In llicir pots on the slovetop. Menu-while the children were playing In tny aunt's liedniom nnd Uncle Hiram and I nclc were pulling slicks in a timer while the other men sat tipped i.gaiust the wall watching and making playful comments nil save my Uncle Peabody, who was trying to touch his head to the floor and then straighten up wilh the nid of the broomstick. In the midst of Aunt Pii I opened the front door find old Kate, the Silent Woman, entered. To my surprise, she wore a deit-nt-looklng dress of gray homespun rlnth and a white cloud looped over her head nnd ears and tied nround her neck and a good pair of boot.

"Merry Chrls'i'ioal" we all shouted. She smiled nnd nodded her bend nnd sat down In the chair which t'ncle Peabody had (dared for her at the stove side. Aunt Peel took the cloud oft her head while Kate drew her mittens newly knitted of the best yarn. Then my aunt brought some stockings and a shawl from the tree nnd laid them on the lap of old Knte. Whnt a silence fell upon ns as we saw tears coursing down the cheeks of this lonely old woman of the eonntryslde tears of Joy, doubtless, for (iod knows how long It had been slnre the poor, abandoned soul had aeon a merry Christmas and shared Its kindness.

I did not fail to observe bow clean her face and hands (edited! She was greatly changed. She took my hand as I went to her side nnd tenderly nressed It. A gentler smile came to her face than ever I hnd seen ujion It. Tho old stern look returned for a moment as she held one aloft In a gesture nblch only I and my Aunt Peel understood.

She released my, nnn and, turning to the window, leaned her head upon Its sill and shook with sobs, The dusk had thickened. As I returned to tny seat by the stove I could dimly see her form gAitist the light of the window. We sat In silence for a little while.

With the brenklng of the Turkish power in Palestine another religions cult has been liberated from persecution, that of llnlmism, or Pabism. The leader of this spiritual movement is Abdul rtahn. or Abbas Kffendl, as he Is generally known. This religion was first founded by Itahn'o'llah, the father of the present leader, and he chose his son to prench Its doctrines before Hie world. Inie to the antagonism of the movement to the Islam religion, Abdul Paha was imprisoned by the sultan of Turkey, who feared his teachings, and was kept a prisoner In the fortress of Akkn, near Haifa, for 40 years.

Upon bis release In when a mild constitutional form of government was established in Turkey, ltnha traveled through France anil Knglnnd preaching his doctrines, also coming to the United Stare. In 11112. Abdul ltnha strove to be called the "servant of Immunity." While In the Orient he won ninny friends by caring for the sick nnd oppressed, and among the many titles given him by his neigh-horn was one especially applied to him, namely "Father of the Poor." While in this country he established colonies of supporters of his teachings In Chicago and Kenosha, Wis. His teachings have a close relation with those of Christianity and Judaism.
