* THE] DAILY 'BRITISH WIG, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1918. PAGE FIVE --p--y WEEKLY MARKET REPORT WHIG'S DIGEST OF PRICE FLUC. TUATIONS DURING THE WEEK. Bananas Took a Drop During the Week--Stgar Was Quoted at an Increase of Ten Cents--The Market Was Generally Firm, = (Market op on Page 13.) Changes in the prices of meat, vegetables and fruit were the features of the trading on the local markets during the week. Beef especially showed a downward tendency {1=# me grades, although it was up in others. beef carcase fell go $19 a hundredweight, whith was about a dollar lower than the price in Toron- to. Fronts also showed a decrease of $1 and the hinds remained firm. The demand for hinds was quite brisk in the market during the week and local beef was up 4a dollar a hundredweight. Hetail beef was stable with only a few minor increases on the cheaper cuts re- corded, Pork was raised slightly for some grades and lambs were in de- mand, ' Poultry phices show considerable ' variation; resulting from the differ- ence in the quality of the birds. Some have grown plump while others are mere masses of akin and bone. A few turkeys are being offered at prices ranging from 32e¢.. to 35c., while dressed spring chickens are as high as 40c, The wvegeiables from the surround- ing districts are being offered in large quantities and the summer prices for most of them have been established. Green corn was as low as 20c¢. a dozen in one of the stores on Friday, but the: general price is 25c. to 30c. a dozen for a good variety. Potatoes are retailing in the stores at an aver- age price of $1.25 a bushel, although some of the marketers are offering Irish Cobblers at $1 a bushel, To- matoes were worth $4 a bushel to the trade and were retailing severe! conts lower on the pound Pras, shelled and unshelled, are hecoming scarce, Bananas took a sharp decrease dur- ing the week, although jenerally fruits maintained their level, especi- ally the deciduous variety from Cali- fornia. (It was stated that the reason for the turn in basanas was the fact that large supplied have been com- ing into the city during the past week and as the previous stocks were rip- ening fast the price had to be lowered to dispose of them.

Strong, | healthy blood neutralizes the poisons of invading germs, or destroy the germs themselves. That is why many people exposed to disease do not con- tract it. Those whose blood is weak and watery and therefore lacking in defensive power"are most liable to infection. fverybody may observe that healthy, red-blooded people are less liable to colds and the grippe, than pale, bloodless people. It is the bloodless people who tire easily, who are short of breath at slight exertion, who have poor appetites, and who wake up in the morning as tired as when they went to bed. While wo- men and girls chiefly suffer from bloodlessness the trouble also affects both boys and men. It simply affects girls. and women to a great extent because there is a greater demand upon their blood supply.

THE SUPBRVISED PLAY | Miss Dorothy ° Wilson, of Toronto, | Was in Chirge--indoor Classes Carried on and the Work Exhibited 1s Wonderful. } i Miss Dorothy Wilson, of the Tech-! nical School, Toronto, who has been conducting classes of school teachers on supervised play grounds, on Rri- day afternoon gave a special démen- stration, A large number of children | assembled at Macdonald school and baseball on the ground east of the school and the girls occupied on the remainder. One drawback at this | A row of Carolina poplacs planted on | the south and west side of the ground would in three or four years provide a splendid shade. The ele- | vated slide which is made of zinc, was so hot as to almost blister the fingers. Many of the little tots were Indoor classes are carried on at which the children, all of whom are under twelve years, dre taught elementary sewing, weaving and moulding. The work exhibited | is wonderful and shows the great pos- | sibilities of instruction without con- ones. It is really a part of the play. Miss Wilson has been insructing here in order that the work may be carried on permanently. In Toronto it is proposed to keep all children off the streets unless they are there for a specific purpose, and supervised playgrounds are to be placed half a mile apart as a protective measure. This is due to the needless waste of child life through accidents on the | streets. The playgrounds are mainly | i for the accommodation of children whose parents are unable to fake them out of the city during vacation period. THE POPE IS "PRO.GOD."
