COST OF LIVING HIGHER.
Government Report Shows Prices Of
Necessities Much Increased.

Necessities Much Increased.
Washington, D. C.-Prices of fuel,
clothing and practically all food pro-
ducts are constantly increasing. ac-
cOrding to a bulletin just issued by the
Bureau of Labor. covering the period
from 1890 to 1904. In the last four
years they have been steadily increas-
ing. until now they are higher than in
1892, just before the memorable fnan-
cial and commercial depression. The
period of lowest prices was from 1894
to 1897.
The. lowest price of beef was in April.
1896, when the best was quoted at
$3.50 to $4.25 per hundred. The high
est price was in August, 1902, when the
price touched $3.50 to 50 per 100
pounds. Corn was lowest in 1896 and
highest in 1892.
In a table of comparisons, in which
the average price for the years 1890 to
1899 is taken as a base, sixteen articles
of farm production are enumerated
All except faxseed have increased over
the average. Of ffty-two articles in.
Guided under the head of food it is
shown that in 1904 the prices Of all but
fourteen articles were higher than the
average prices from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head of
clDth and clothing show that the aver.
age price for 1904 was 9.S per cent
higher than the average, and the table
on fuel and lighting places the average
1904 price at 32.6 per cent. higher than
the 1890 to 1899 prices.

Marketing Potato CroD..

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the ease
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President TuttIe of the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
q railroad works for the interest of
the localities which it serves.
{. A main dependence of the farmers of
the AFCostook. region is the potato
crop. a~ggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find 4 mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
=:along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at q very low level.
&: Potatoes are also n considerable out
nut of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
land through Detroit and Chicago and
communities of that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous yield OF
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
znormal rates and prices there would
have beer a glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
@rowers the railroads from Michigan
made uEprecedentedly low rates Oh
Dotatoes to every readable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
TO q place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook had to reduce the
Tricc Oh their potatoes and even then
could not dispose Of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad u It's
already low rate, which it lie BY
means Of these low rates, making pos
sIble low prices. the potato crops OF
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody eats potatoes
and That year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous tc
the railroads, had they been applied tc
the movement of all potatoes at al
times, to all places, they helped thell
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered a de
crease in its revenue from potatoes
hut it enabled the AroostoOk farmer:
to market their crop and thereby t.
obtain money which they spent fo1
the varied supplies which the rail
roads brought TO them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governments
adjustment such radical and promp
action could never have been taken
because it is well established that il .
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and thu
Boston & Maine Railroad had beef
subjected to Governmental limitation
they would have felt Obliged to keel
ap their rates as do the railroads OF
France and England and Germany un

above all, a woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been GO
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham violates the con-
fdence of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent Or request Of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over a year agoI wrote you a letter asking
advice, as 1 had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. / received your
lind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. / am not only a well woman in con-
sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. l
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as. you v done so
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound eure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cr%es of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn. Mass for special advice. It is
free and ALWAYS helnful.

FRANKLIN ON SWIMMING.

AT very early age Benjamin
Franklin was thoroughly at home in
the water; indeed, like his reading,
he could scarce remember the time
when he could not swim.
He describes how once he made two
wooden discs, shaped very much like
an artists palette. Through a hole
on the edge of each he thrust his
thumb and swan by pushing the
boards forward so as to cleave the
water with the least resistance, and
then drawing them toward him in
such manner that their broad sur
faces caught the water like paddles.
This made his progress more rapid,
but was very tiresome for the wrists.
He also made kind of sandal for his
feet, but was not satisfied with it.
In case of cramp in the leg Frank
lin advised that the swimmer turn on
his back and kick the limb vigorous.
ly out of the water. No one up to
the present time has thought of any
better method.
One day while flying mis- kite he ap.
preached the bank of a pond and the
weather being quite warm, decided to
take plunge. He kept the kite up
in the air while undressing, and on
going into the water he discovered
that 1t would draw MIN along without
any effort. Calling to friend to carry
his clothes to the opposite shore he
allow himself to be towed all the way
across, only stopping on occasions
when it appeared that he was follow.
ing too quickly and that little re.
sistance was needed to keep the kite
at the necessary height.
Franklin believed that in this man.
ner it would not be impossible to
cross the English Channel. but made
haste to add that personally he pre-.
| ferred the packct-boat.
Do you recall how when a grown
man he again used kite in an expert
ment by which he discovered that
| lightning is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Oats and Canada Peas.

The various varieties of peas are
sold under the general name of Can
ada field peas, and can be obtained
from most dealers. The oats should be
the stronger growing varieties, the
Clydesdale giving excellent satisfac-
ton. This crop is one of the most SER
viceable in n forage crop rotation, be-
cause supplying food when other crops
are not usually available. The crop
may be seeded Mt intervals of from n
week to ten days, making them follow
in the order of their maturity. Hence
the first crop should be seeded as early
as possible in the spring: 1t requires
about two months from time of seed
ing to time Of harvesting. This crop is
better adapted for mellow loamy soils
than for light sandy soils, though good
crops may be produced on the latter IL
seeded early. On good soils two bush.
els per acre of both peas and oats
should be used.
