LETTER TO JOS. B1GGs
Middletowu, Del.

Dear Sir: What will it cost to SOW ten
acres half wheat and half daisy mixed
and what'Il the crop be worth
We don't know what daisy-seed costs,
nor. how bulky it lie; we suspect half
wheat and half daisy would make big
crop of daisies, and last long time; the
wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on the
cost of paint half whitewash. White
wash, mixed haIf-and-half with paint,
is all.paint in look and fell, indeed nine
tenths of the paint in the stores in part
whitewash: some half, some more, some
less.
Paint has to be spread with the brush,
the surface prepared, the ladders scaffolds
pulleys and ropes arranged and moved,
there's great deal Of labor in putting
paint on; it costs 81 to 81 gallon to do it.
What does 1t cost to paint whitewash ?
Just the same. HaIf-whitewash ? Just
the same. 1t doesn't seem worth while,
for the whitewash does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the Whitewash fast?
or the whitewash loosen the paint2
Better paint pure paint, the least gal
Ions paint, the least-inoney paint Devoe.
Yours truly.

1t Is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the

times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of rem

DETERRENT.

This is a world of change. Not long ago Chicago's death rate was decreas- ing in way that indicated that inn mortality on earth could be had by living in Chicago. To be sure, there were some who seemed willing to re- ject it at that price, but on the whole Chicago looked good to those to whom life looked good. But things are de- cidedly different there now. Chicago seems to be worse off than any other American city at the present time in it's health conditions. There are over sixteen thousand cases of scarlet few CT. diphtherla and measles in the city, one days additions to the list having aggregated nearly four hundred. The health commissioner has appealed to the people to cancel all arrangements for social gatherings and public meet ings, although he does not yet urge the closing of the schools and churches This is a sad state of affairs, and il
 will humble some of those who have been advertising Chicago as 8 health resort. But life in Chicago will go or
 and she will soon see better days.

These are surely Investigating days. Yesterday the House committee on in- terstate and foreign commerce unani- mously voted to report favorably on the resolution for the Investigation of the methods of cotton exchanges. This resolution instructs the secretary of commerce and labor through the bu- reau of corporations to investigate the causes of the fluctuations in the price of cotton and the difference between the market price of the various classes of cotton, and says that such investi- gatlon shall be conducted with the par ticular object of discovering whether or not such fluctuations in prices have resulted in whole or in part from the character of contract and deliveries thereon made in the cotton exchanges dealing in futures, or are the result of any combinations or conspiracy, which interferes with or flinders commerce among the several States and terri tories or with foreign countries.
 This is cheering and also promising. Will they investigate the New York Stock Exchange for the purpose of dis. covering whether or not the antics there damage commerce and trouble the United States and foreign treas, uries?

ANOTHER oBJEcr LESSON.

Government ownership and operation of railroads don't get much of a boost from the Toronto Mall, which is- sues a statement concerning the Inter- colonial railroad of Canada. The Mail says that although the railroad is rep resented as making a balance on the right side of the ledger that it is really losing a million dollars a year The paper goes on to show that al- though the earnings of the Intercolo- nial are $1,205 per mile less than those of the Canadian Pacific the running expenses are $1,9O1 per mile greater. The Intercolonial earns $3,686 less per mile than the Grand Trunk, and it's expenses are $31O greater. While the oreration of each mile of the Canadian Pacific costs 6S per cent of it's earn ings per mile and the Grand Trunk costs a fraction less, each mile of the Intercolonial for operation costs 125 per cent. of the earnings per mile One of the reasons for this is that the entire railroad is treated as patron age and every politician on the right side Is entitled to milk it." The Mai says further that the attempt to con- ceal the true state of things by ingen ious bookkeeping shows that the Can adian politicians know that the pub lie would not long tolerate state own ership and operation if it were knowl that the taxpayers have to pay for i
 a million a year which might be use
 to advantage elsewhere.
 Wouldn't it be a fine thing if tn
 New York, New Haven and Hartfor
 railroad were owned and operated b the State of Connecticut, with all tn appointments to places on it made b
 the Governor?
