There isn't any question about that
The Republican nominees for the coun-

WHAT 1T COSTS A CERTAIN COL
LEGE PROFESSOR TO LIVE.

Since my object is not To idealize my
experiences, put To tell the trutb, l may
say frankly that the principal reason why
l have remained here has been the finan-
cal one. My salary is $1,000 year. Ii Is n
small sum for any professional man to
earn, and IL is certainly less than the col
lege would gladly pay if it were able; on
the other hand, Ii comes nearer to coin
Gliding with the cost of living here than
do the much larger salaries of some
friends Of mine who occupy chairs i'm the
great uniyersitios. Most of the people, even
the more p sperous Of them, i'm the COM
munity in which the college is located, do
not have SO large an income as do the pro-
fessors. and we can find ourselves-rather
uncomfortably, it must be said-looked
upon by our townsmen as a sort OF local
moneyed aristocracy. But the conditions
of living are unquestionably easier and.
in many respects. more attractive here
than in many other places. Rents. for
example are decidedly lower My house,
while not on the main street, is centrally
and pleasantly located, with generous

rear. and some fruit and some shade
trees. The house is very plain. somewhat
old fashioned. and imperfectly arranged,
but it is in good repair and has, unlike
the houses of most of my neigh bors, the
modern conveniences OF gas, furnace and
bathroom. The rent il $3.50 a year. A
house equally good and as well located
could not be had i'm any university town
or city that know of for double the sum
On the other hand, meats and groceries
are noe very much cheaper here than else
where; indeed my wife often regrets the
absence of large city markets ana stores,
with their lower range of prices. / have
recently been comparing expense nc

A majority of people who examine the new

IL n genuine Xray apparatus. IL, by some
mysterious operation Of light produces n close
imitation of the Roentgen ray. The little

the size OF a lead pencil Across this is
stretched q bit OF strange looking film. If

parently look through book or piece of

that 1t is not wonderful that many people are
deceived, not knowing that microscope and
Crookes tube are necessary to produce
Roontgen rays. A scientist, however, at once
sees that II is not an X-ray apparatus when
he holds piece of metal TO the light and
seems to look through it, Roentgen rays
cannot penetrate thick metal. Upon investi.
cation the mysterious film Is found to be n
piece of feather. When You look through an
