The Cost of Living.

"The increased cost of living" is a
phase that has come into commercial
use these later years. 1t is well
enough to get at the meaning of the
expression. Plain living, that is a liv-
ing in which necessity is the limit.
costs no more than formerly. But
modern tendencies are toward better
living and that is where the expense
comes in.
The necessaries of life and the sub
stantial things of life. such as we all
in the early times were glad to get.
cost far less now than they cost then.
To this statement there is scarcely an
exception. But they who complain
that the cost of living has increased
would not be content now with what
we all had to content with then. Bet
ter food, more variety. better cooking.
lodging furnished better. clothing in
better style and of better goods, furni-
ture eQuipage. travel and social ex-
pense once unknown have increased
the cost of living; but they who may
be willing to live in the old style sim
plicity. yet having enough to eat and
to wear, can live now more cheaply
than at any former time. There can
be no question about it.-Leadvillc

Honors for a Negro.

Referring to the election of negro
as department commander Of the G.
A. r. of Massachusetts, the Des
Moines Register and Leader says that
color has not figured in the part
which Commander Wolff has played in
the organization of veterans in which
he now holds high rank. The men
with whom he fought through the aw.
full days OF the COS did not deny him
u place in their serried ranks because
he was black; and those same men,
forty years later, find color as un-
important factor in peace as they
found 1t in war. Commander Wolff
has won for himself an enviable posi-
tion in Boston's professional circles,
being a prominent and successful law
yer. His life record has been an hon
orable one. such as to entitle him to
the high place he now occupies"

Many times women call on their family

assuming them TO be such. prcscribes his
pills and potions. In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages THIS prac-
tce until large bills are made. The SUI
fcring patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason OF the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispellng all those distressing
symptoms. and instituting comfort in
well said that "a disease known is half
cured" In cases almost innumcrable,
after all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible, the use of DIR. Picrcc's Fa-
vorite Prescription, supplemented when
OF DIR. Pierce, has resulted In a perfect
and permanent cure. The gcnuincncss OF
these cures is attcstcd not only by the
entire disappearance OF pa in. but by

THE oil of rhodium is supposed to

a tiny vest pocket vial. Nevertheless
the most povertystricken of bait fish
ermen won't hesitate to buy it when
he wants to make a big haul of fish.
Il believe it is true that the oil of
rhodium attracts fish as no natural

drop of oil of rhodium on his worm
an angler can increase his catch of

THE mysterious oil of rhodum has

these men tame their horses with oil
OF rhodium and oil of cumin sprinkled
on their fingers. They let the horse
sniff the two oils and at once the an

Senator Depew found occasion to
