"A TURNED WORM"

BEATING THE BUTCHER

BUYS MEAT AT SMITHFIELD

AND SHARES IT WITH NEIGHBOUR.

(United Presß Association—Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) (Received 11th February, 11 a.m.)

LONDON, 10th February. A correspondent calling himself '' A Turned Worm," writes to "The Daily Telegraph" complaining of the big profits which butchers extract from Australian and New Zealand meat. He says that he had been paying 10s for a joint of indifferent meat, but discovored a method of outwitting the butcher. The correspondent went to Smithfield market and purchased a carcase of Australian mutton weighing 501b and costing 18s 9d. He shared this with a neighbour. Sunday and Wednesday accounted for a leg and shoulder, and the rest of the week went to chops, stews, and suet puddings. He advises other buyers in Britain to cultivate the co-operative spirit similarly. ' ' .
