MILK HIGH AT HURLEY.


Milk dealers of Hurley have advanced
the price of milk 3 cents quart. Up
to the present time the housewife could
buy eighteen quarts for one dollar. At
the new prices only twelve quarts are
sold for 81 and it is possible that the
dealers may raise the price to 10 cents
per quart within few days. The high
price charged for hay and feed is given
as the reason for the advance in prices.

Cancer Among Meat-Eaters.

The results of two years exhaustive
study of cancer in the city of Chicago
by DR.. Cooke Adams of London have Just
been made public in report of the city
health department. 1t says that DIR. Ad-
ans has proved that diet is a most i'm
portant factor in the increase of diseases
and in the death rate. In the last seven
years of 5S,S35 deaths among the Chi
cago-born from all causes there were 17S
due to cancer. In the same period there
were 81 900 deaths from all causes among
foreigL-born inhabitants lover one-third
of the total population) and 4, 1853 of these
deaths were due to cancer. DR.. Adams
says that his statistical Investigations in
Europe and the United States corroborate
his earlier Australian observations show
ing an alarming increase in the death
rate from cancer among foreign-born in
habitants, who depend largely upon meats
of inferior character for their food. DR..
Adams says that so per cent of the stock
held for slaughter upon being condemned
by the inspectors finally enters the mar
ket either as fresh meat or in the form
of meat products, and is largely consum-
ed by the foreign poor. He says there
cannot be the slightest doubt that great
increase in cancer among these people
over the prevalence of that disease in their
native countries is due to the increased
consumption of animal foods, and espe-
ciaIly those derived from diseased ami
mails.

Editor Advertiser: In your issue of

would make my house cost $4,000 more
than the one burned This refers to
the house of Mr.. Waldron which was.

rebuilding demand, increases the de-
preston in real estate While it is
true that lumber is high, circum-
stance regretted as much OR more by
the local dealers as by any others. yet
the idea Of the increased cost of build
ing is exaggerated. The Waldron house
was contracted for before the raise in
price of July l. 1906, and lumber was
probably furnished at rate ruling in
June. Since that time 1t has advanced
from 81 per NJ. on some items to $3.50

feet of lumber and 40 M shingles. AL
lowing that all of the lumber came
under the larger advance of $3.50 per
NJ, it would show an additional cost
on account of lumber of $3.50 only. and
the shingles $40. total of $3.50. While
not knowing the contract price for the
building, I assume it was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. An advance of $4,000
on this figure would represent an in
crease of 33 1-3 per cent, while the ad-
