FOOD PRICE IS UP.
COST OF EATABLIs RISES FAST.
Err THAN WAoHA
Statistics Of Labor Drsau show Slight
Loss to Consumer In Year--Hours
Shorter and Pay Il
Higher.

Washington.--You are working under
shorter hours. you are getting slight
ly more pay. you are paying more for
your necessaries Of life, and In a gen.
eral way you are triie behind your
condition of a year ago. You are not
very much behind. but still you are be-
hind, and the general upward tendency
of the cost of living Is more rapid than
the general tendency Of wage increase.
This is the conclusion drawn by the
United States bureau of labor from the
reports of several thousand experts that
have been employed in collecting the
statistics of wages and food In the United
States.
These reports Of the bureau of labor
have been regarded as reliable since the
introduction Of the methods of Carroll
ID. Wright. They may be summarized
as follows:
I'm 1904, as compared with the aver.
age for the ten years from 1890 to 1899
25.7 per cent. more persons were en-
ployed, hours of labor per week had been
reduced Al per cent, wages per hour
had Increased II per cent, weekly earn
ings per employe had increased 1872 per
cent, weekly earnings Of all persons en-
ployed had increased Al per cent. retail
prices of food had increased III per
cent. the wages OF one hour would pur-
chase AZ per cent more food and the
earnings of a week would purchase a
per cent. more food.
In 1904. as compared with 1903. the
toatl number of employees decreased q
per cent. the hours of labor decreased
Z per cent; wages per hour increased
s. per cent; weekly earnings per EN-.
ploye decreased 4 per cent. The total
weekly earnings of all employees de-
creased s. per cent; retail prices OF food
increased 1.3 per cent; the wages of one
hour would purchase Z per cent. less
food and the earnings per empIoye In q
week would purchase Ia per cent less
food"
In speaking Of the high price of food
the report says that the estimated yield
OF Irish potatoes in the United States
was 247,127, $50 bushels in 1903. against
1872 SIC, 300 in 1904, but that the increased
P'o'eSs'oh u'u NV piCNVht dh
price. In many localities the price was
practically double the price of 1903.
The articles that marked the greatest
difference In price between 1903 and
1904 are -four and lard. The average
price Of flour in 1904 was 1874 per cent.
higher than the average price in 1909.
The average price Of lard in 1904 was
7.39 per cent. lower than the average
in 1903
or the 30 articles included in the com
pilation made by the bureau of labor. ! )
show an advance and Is decline. But
1t should not be supposed that the Is
articles showing a decline offset the Is
articles that show an advance because
those articles that have advanced in
price more largely enter into consump-
tion.

QUEER LEGACY LEFT IOWAN
Secures Maidstone Which Is Said to
Cure All Diseases--Regular
Patent Remedy.

Eldora, Ia.--Through the death OF a
New York relative e. M. Healy. OF
wilson Junction, in this state. ha.
come into possession of a genuine mad.
stone, which, 1t is claimed. is worth
many hundreds Of dollars. and will
cure snake bite, cure hydrophobia
and act as a healing agent in almost
any kind OF illness that flesh is he'll
to.
The stone, which is small and abour
two inches in diameter. and looks like
. coarSe-grained piece OF coral was
2ound in the stomach OF Q deer killed
ID the Allegheny mountains over e
years ago. and was originally sold fol
$500. Healy will not sell the stone
for any price, and claims that ne car
cure the most violent case OF hydropho.
bia that may occur The stone is very
absorbent, and Is supposed to draw all
the poisonous matter from any wound
on which it may be placed. Mr.. Healy
contends that the stone neutralizes the
poison as soon as 1t is absorbed, and
only little warm water ia used to
cleanse It after an application.
The only other stone known to ex-
list in Iowa was on exhibition at the
state historical building a number OF
years ago, and created much interest
Mr.. Aldrich. the curator. states that
the Healy specimen Is the finest that
he ever saw. and he nrmly believes
that the mineral will do all that Is
claimed for II.

SEE ONLY AT NIGHT.
THESE CONNECTICUT BOYS ARE
HUMAN OWLS.
Afflicted with Disease Which Puzzles
Scientists, They Suffer in the
Daytime, But Play Joyfully
After Dark.

Derby, CONDITIONED to lead lives
like owls is the fate Of two little East
Hartford boys, to whom day Is night
and night 10 day. These boys can see
only in the dark or in very dim light
While other boys are at play In the
bright sunshine they steal away into
sunless corners. there to await the fall
ing shadows that alone bring sight to
their day-blind eyes Long after youths
twice their age are In bed and asleep
they keep up their play with top and
marbles and tin soldiers.
So spry and wide awake are they
after dark that midnight finds them
loath to sleep away any part Of their
day, and nearly always they are bun
died off to bed under protest. Medical
science and opthalmic skill are power
less to remedy this perversion of sight
The boys are Lyman and Abel White
the only children Of Mr. and Mrs Sam.
uel White of East Hartford. Hymar
is nearly seven years old. and Abel is
four. With both the defect of vision Il
congenital. Since the birth of the
younger child their parents have sought
the advice of the most celebrated ocu.
lists in the country. who with one ac.
cord have pronounced the cases ire
mediable. The sight of Mr.. and Mrs
White is not defective or abnormal In
any way, nor was that of the grand
parents or great-grandparents of the
boys.
DR.. Samuel B. st. John of Hartford
an ooulist who was consulted by MIR
White, said recently: "Nyctalopia is a
medical term for being able to see only
at night. but it is also used to express
inability to see at night. the exact oppo-
site for which. however, hemeralopia
Is the usually accepted expression. The
White children were born with the for
mer defect, and no sure remedy there
for is known to the medical profession.
Somewhere, back several genera
tons. one or more ancestors of these
boys was similarly affected, and now
the disease, after skipping many per-
sons. has settled in these young per-
sons"
Albinism Is due to lack of pigment.
but its distinguishing characteristics of
pink eyes and white hair are not pres
ent In the White boys. whose eyes and
hair are dark like those Of their parents
1t Is a noteworthy circumstance that
Hyman Cohn. a 15-year-old boy. who
lives across the street from the Whites.
has - eye affection that permits him to
see only in the brightest light. Cohn
suffers from hemeralopia, or night.
blindness. He cannot go abroad alone
at night.

lowed by troops Of jesring children, un-
til at last he was overcome with sheer
weakness.

party Of agricultural laborers Just re-
turned from harvesting, who, having re-

Q restaurant, where he partook Of .
meal consisting Of three plates Of sosp.
four pounds Of beefsteak, three portions
OF ham and eggs, two hsaped.up plates
OF potatoes and cabbage and II apple
tarts, the whole washed down with six
pints Of beer.
The harvesters were somewhat aghast
at the amount Of food consumed by the
giant. When the bill was presented TO
them 1t swallowed a considerable por-

harvesting.
Later, followed by band of noisy
children bearing lighted torches, he was
escorted to the outlying camping
ground of the agriculturists and provid-
