The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1902-01-31

If figures are an indication, we
seem to have passed the era OF low
cost and come into one steadily ad-
vancing cost Here is the, Review 2
comparative statement Cost Of
necessaries for one year for one per-
son: Jan. s1,$1ss9, 49, OF; July 4, 1892
$72. As: Jan. l, 1901 $s9.56, Jan. 1,
1902, $1o1.5s, the highest point yet
reached. Compared, sv1th + . y year
ago, the cost of living has increased
S per cent, and with two. years, ago
20 per cent, :. and the greateet in
crease being in breadstuf,s, though
meats, Vegetables aad dairy produce
nave advanced, continuously. a. -.
Such figures as these plainly show
that in prosperous times the cost Of
living increases considerably, the
lowest point of the financial de-
preston of 1892. There will I'M
doubtedly, lbe steady advance in
long periodslofa time as population
increases and production does not
keep up with the demand, but ma
ture and human invention may be
upon to regulate the sup,
ply and demand question in some
manner.-Chicago Tribune.

It is pleasing to note in the dis
patches from Washington that the
members of the Michigandelegation
in the lower house are a unit in
standing by the beet sugar interests
and opposing every attempt to
change the Tariff. The beet sugar
industry has aou1ished under the
benefit of the Protective Tariff, and
will continue to do so as long as
the Tariff. is undisturbed. What
changes would follow a reduction OF
the duty on Cuban sugar are profile
NAUTICAL, but it is certain the indus
try would be given a severe blow
from which it might not speedily
recover.
From the beet sugar States farm
ers and others sending petitions to
Congress protesting against any
change in the sugar Tariff. What
effect these petitions will have is
for the future to decide. The ques-
ton is fraught with the greatest in
terest for Michigan, where the beet
sugar interests are of enormous pro-
portions, and also. to q mum Der. OF
other States that are just embarking
in the business. The flood Of petit

According to an Ottawa dispatch
the liberal party has played the
cuckoo and appropriated the Pro
lection nest of the conservatives to
it's own uses. In otherwords, it.has
abandoned the traditional issue Of
Free Trade upon which every cam
paign since confederation has been
fought by the liberals or Grits, as
they were called. From the start
Sir John A. Macdonald called the
Protection policy which he advocated
the national policy, and now Sir
Wilfrid Iaurier has made it truly
national by adopting it as the policy
of his party, which succeeded to
power upon the overthrow Of what
was left Of the conservative party
after it lost it's shrewd. and popular
leader. II, :y.. g. IT,: .: ~ -
At q banquet in Montreal satur-
day night Sir Wilfrid and Mr.. Field
ing, the Mini ster Of Finance in his
Cabinet, spoke of the permanence
of the present Protective Tariff, and
the latter declared that there is at
present no material. difference Of
opinion upon the subject between
the two great Canadian parties.
Thus Canada becomes, committed
to the Protection system just as
Great Britain is to the Free Trade
system as a national policy. And
henceforth changes of government
here will have no more effect upon
Tariff schedules than they do in
England.
Hereafter governments in Canada
will be judged by their success Oh
failure in meeting the administrative
problems of the day.-Chicago

ON SHAKING HANDS.
The Defensivc Reason Why the
Right Was First Used.

The Defensivc Reason why the
Right Was First Used.
Did you ever stop 10 think about the
custom OF shaking hands and wonoer
why II is that we always shake the
right hand? Probably you have never
thought about II al all or II you have
you think that the only reason for
using your right hand is that you were
taught not to use your left one, says
the Buffalo Courier. In reality this
custom, now so common, is a very an
Client one, and IL originated In this way:
In the days when people were not so
peaceable as they now are and when
each man settled his quarrels In his
own way every man carried sword
or dagger TO defend himself This
sword was worn on the left side, where
the right hand could quickly grasp II
for use In time OF peril.
Therefore when man wished to
show that he was friendly he extended
his right hand, which would be clasped
by the others right hand II he. too.
meant peace. Thus each could be sure
that the other would not draw his
sword.
With the dawn OF more peaceful
times the custom lost its one time pur-
pose. but il still retains its original
meaning-to show friendship.

DO Not sleep on Your Left side.

DO Not sleep on Your Left side.
When patient complains of bad
taste IN his mouth every morning on
waking up. says physician. the first
question | ask him Is as 60 the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number OF people sleep on
the left side. and this is the most com
mon cause of the unpleasant taste
which Is generally attributed To dys.
pepsla III meal has been taken with
In two or thrae hours OF going TO bed.
TO sleep Oh the lrit side Is 10 give the
stomach task which IL is difficult IN
the extreme % perform. The student
Of anatomy knows that all food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right
side. and hence sleeping on the left
side soon after ealing involves a sort
OF pumping operation which Is any
thing but conducive TO sound repose.
The action OF the heart Is also inter
fered with considerably. and the lungs
are unduly compressed II is probable
that lying on the back Is the most nat
ural position. but few men can rest
easily so. aud hence II ls best TO culti
vate the habit OF sleeping on the right
side. II is very largely matter OF
habit. and the sooner II Is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse
for the physician.

der for less than 5000 bushels. and a
lot OF places sprang up where men OF
small means could speculate on tri-
ding capital. as small as a dollar, and
these spectators were spoken or con
temptuously as buying and selling
wheat by the bucket full. The term
was eventually applied to all broker

CORN TOUCHES NINETY CENTS
Highest Price for the Cereal Since
1902, When 1t Was one
Dollar.

CHICAGO, July S.-shorts In July corn
were squeezed again today and the cornered
delivery went to 80 cents, the highest price
since 1892. when the market touched'$1.
July closed at "a cents yesterday, an ad-
vance Of cents over the previous close.
Opening bids today were from 81 cents to
IS cents. Shorts were the bidders, and by
running the market UP to 30 cents little
before noon they got approximately 25o. 900
bushels 1t Is estimated that in selling
this much the manipulators of the market
made profit of $50 .0oe, ~ most of their
$50 100000 bushels was purchased between
81 cents and Go cents.
No excitement was evident in the pit, al
though all were interested in the problem
Of where the Gates coterie would let the
price advance before easing their grip. The
price is already far past the maximum,
at which Phillips allowed shorts to settle In
his first and most successful deal.
Shorts who have covered have paid heav-

generally supposed to be in the most Sc

judge had given the attorneys fifty days
in which to file a bill of exceptions Mics
Morrison arose and followed the sheriff to
her CELL accompanied by her father and
brother. She passed from the room un-
mindful OF the staring crowd. In the hall
the aged father and brother sat down be-
side Miss Morrison on a bench and dis
cussed the sentence. Miss Morrison said
The Judge has been against me from the
first and was bound to convict me. I ex-
pected no mercy from him and did not get
any mercy. / don't consider l had a fair
