GOTHAM MILK SUPPLY
IS 10 PER CENT SHORT
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Less than
60 per cent of the usual 2,500,000
quarts of milk required by the resi
dents of Nek York and vicinity for
daily consumption was reported avail
able today as a result of a deadlock
between dairymen and distributers
over the price for the product. From
the heads or the principal distributing
concerns it was learned that the sup
ply for customers was about 50 per
cent of uorarnl but with a promise
of better conditions tomorrow. Hospi
tals and families with children a‘re
receiving first attention, the distrib
utors said, and what is left is given
to the regular trade, but in decreased
quantities in proportion to the amount
on hand.
Sugar Again Advances.
SEATTLE, Oct. 18.—Sugar ad

a heavy drop after reaching $8.50 per
100 pounds.
Defective Hue Hums Labor Temple.
The loss of the big Labor Temple at
Anchorage was caused by a defective
flue. The builders put $12,000 worth
of material in the house and then
placed a ten dollar flue. The house
was no better than its weakest part.
The first hot fire set it ablaze. If the
flue had been constructed of cement
.blocks, made by Blake, just a little
cheaper than the other fellow, it
| would not have burned. How is your
I flue? Better examine it before the
I fierce winter winds come. Ten dol
j lars now may save your home and
possibly your life. See Blake. tf
