The Expense of Living.

The cost of the necessities of life
has doubtless received the considera-
ton, many times, of the majority of
our readers. Nevertheless we pro-
pose to furnish a few facts, in this
line, that may be of interest and fur
nish food for thought. In doing this
we shall only take into consideration
the matter of medicine, or what ii
cost to keep the body well lubri-
Gated and in good running order.
From the annual town report we learn
that the sales of liquor, through the
town agency, and of course for med
icine, amounted to $1307.75. This
seems large, yet it is not all by any
means. Taking into consideration
the amount of proprietary medicines
used, the amount of drugs sold and
administered by our physicians, the
grand total cannot be less than $4,000.
90, sum that would purchase fol
every man, woman and child in town
barrel Of extra good flour. Does
this seem large 1t isn't. Carefully
60 over the ground and make youl
own calculations.
Naturally at this point one would
query, is this healthy locality
None of us would care, In view Of al
the facts, to admit that it was not
No locality is more favored with pure
air and water, first requisites in thu
matter of health, and no people arr
more comfortably housed, clothed ant

upon us ! Is it dispensation of di
vine providence I? Did it originate il
the first transgression ? Is it igno
rance ? Reader can you tell ? Thinl
it over and the SIFTER's object will
