the child to health by attempting to set

with delight the combination which be-
gan yesterday to supply the fuel at $3.50
per ton, and at the rate of 1900 tons per
day. In their efforts to square, them
selves and excuse charging $50 per ton.
our contemporary goes on to say, the
retail dealers are hammering away at the
''relief" combination, claiming that it will
make 81 per ton net. When confronted
with the proposition that $3.50 taken from
$3.50 is 50, and that this latter amounts
represents the reduction made by the
combination, the retail dealer hastens to
say that he was obliged to charge the
greater price because the operators raised
the price on them and that they sold at a
profit of Is cents per ton.
The Sun then adds:
All this may be SO, but it. Is a fact that
the great majority of consumers hold the
retail men responsible for the exorbintant
rate, possibly because the buyer comes in
direct contact with such dealer. Indeed,
it is not going too far to say that the
great majority Of the people of Baltimore
believe that retail men had determined to
squeeze the city as hard as possible.
This idea may be entirely wrong and do
the dealers great injustice. But right or
wrong. they are the sufferers. Not only
have their business regulations suffered,
but now they are deprived of coal to sell,
or at least of a large proportion of It.

NEW YORK, October 6.-scarcity of

only cause of anxiety for the housewives
of this city just now The servant-girl
question. always troublesome. is more
alarming this fall than ever before What
amounts practically to a strike of the
household workers is on in New York
Employment agencies say they cannot
begin to supply the demand for house

migrants has ceased almost entirely, as
shown by the Ellis Island records and
there is no field on this side to take it's
place for kitchen recruiting purposes The
manager of one of the largest intelligence
offices in this city, said tonight:
1T is perfectly true that we cannot find
household servants enough to meet the
requirements of our customers For two
months we have been sending south for
all the colored girls that can be induced
to come here and that has been our only
source Of supply. There are no available
girl immigrants. Perhaps there are no
more, left in Ireland, Gelhnany, and Swe-
den.
The scarcity is greatest among girls
who are expected to do the entire work
for family, kitchen, chamber and
laundry.
Most of them are looking for upstairs
work alone. Then, again., the number of
girls who want to quit homework for
places in shops and factories is larger
than ever this eason''

''You must certainly be the first and
only person who has seriously taken the
information supplied by Il renegade Jew,

woman Cohen, who signs his name in
the Gaulois as Castor Polonnais.''
