tion that IL impovishes the consumer
IL Is most ingenious system Taking
into account the fact that the majority OF
their customers cannot spare the money
for their winters supply early In the
summer, the managers of that corpora
tion make an opportunity OF the peces-
stiles OF others.
Ii Is absurd to assert that IL costs more
10 mine and deliver coal in the fall than
in the spring. 1t is equally absurd to put
all the blame for the rise In prices on the
middlemen. The mddlemen charge a pref
ty fair profit. II is true but every ad-
vance they make Is the result OF a similar
advance made to them by the operators
OF the mines.
The arrangements Is merely device 20

which is the lot of most users OF coal
1t does not affect the rich so no friends
OF the coal trust are hurt. II only makes
life a little harder for the ordinary run or
mortals and with the ordinary run OF
mortals the coal trust has no concern
save to extract the last cent from their
pocketbooks.-Sew York American.

1T is POSSIBLE FOR
WOMEN TO BE TALLER.

The woman that desires TO be stouter
must endeavor to cultivate a calm and

things TO worry her.

woman is advised TO avoid should be free

Moreover he must confess to himself at least that
his expectation OF getting the city to build easy
grade thoroughfare on the East Side for the special
accommodation of his trolley cars is likely to prove
impalpable dream.
The fact is history is repeating itself in the
case of Marsden ]. Perry. Nothing but deten-
tion house transfer system would meet his auto
cratic approval in 1901. Nothing short of absolute
ownership of the East Side tunnel by his corpora
tion will receive his august sanction in this year of
grace, 1906.
However, public sentiment forced ticket trans

sentiment will the building of the tunnel at

he will be better able to judge what is going to
happen.

PUTS HIMSELF RIGHT.

Mayor Dyer has placed himself right on the.
question OF municipal ownership OF the tunnel His
readiness TO follow his prospective opponent in the
First district, Mr.. Granger in insisting that the
city permanently retain title to the tunnel does
him credit.
1t also shows the mayor does not fail TO
recognize a good thing when someone else points
it out Mayor Dyers statement is explicit and en-
phatic enough TO satisfy all advocates OF municipal
ownership, and now that he has placed himself
right il can be safely assumed he will stay right to
