Cost of Living in 1900.

A summary of the report just sent to
the printer by the United States Bureau
~ lakc-, CO which Charles L. Neill is
the head, covering the year 1906, shows,
that the prices Of food were generally;
higher during every month of that year,
than in the corresponding month of 1905.
The price in December was 4 S-10ths per
cent higher than the average for the year
1906, and the year as a whole showed a
higher average than any since 1880, the.
period covered by the bureaus investiga-.
ton. The increase of last year applied
uneaually to twenty-five Of the thirty ar
ticles showing the greatest advance We're
lard, evaporated apples, pork, bacon, ham,.
fish, mutton and butter. The retail prices
of food were 2s-1oths per cent higher
than In the previous year.
The report deals also with the question:
of wages for manual workers, and gives
figures showing that the advance in wages
per hour over the preceding year was
greater than the adrance in the retail
prices Of food. That n to say, the pur-
chasing power of an hours wages rs
measured by food was greater last year
chan the year before. The increase in
this purchasing power was ] 4-10ths per
cent. As compared with the ten years
average from 1890 to 1899, the wages per
hour were "a 2-10ths per cent higher, and
the number of employees ~ 9-10ths per.
cent greater. and the average hours OF
labor a week Cloths per cent lower. In
the principal manufacturing industries OF
the country the average wages were
5-10ths per cent higher than in 1905.
The greatest increase was in the manu-
facture Of cotton goods, where the wages
were IL 2-10ths per cent higher, and in
only one industry. that of paper and
wood pulp, was there decrease, namely
1-10th per cent.

Work Progrcssing ON the Mig Dan

The work on the locks and dams at
Panama has taken such shape that 1t
is now possible to see something OF
their form. 1t 4. believed that the
actual masonry work can be com.
menced at the Gatun locks within eight.
cen months. -Four steam shovels are
now digging out the sites for the locks,
and construction can be begun after the
excavation for the top lock of the flight
Is completed. Two steam shovels are
preparing the site for the erection OF
the spillway works of the Gatun dam.
Railroad trestles are being erected
across the line that Will mark the in
side and outside boundaries Of the big
dam, and from one OF these dirt trains
are now dumping dirt upon the site OF
the dam.
Preparatory to the installation Of
pipeline dredges, by which more rapid
work on the dam will be possible, the
Chfrges River has been diverted from
its main channel and damned. The
pipeline dredges should be installed by
January 1, when the work at Gatun
will be as actively in progress MS that
at Culebra. Suitable sand and rock for
the big masonry locks have been To-
Gated, and, what is equally interesting
to the engineers, material for the man.
ufacture of all the necessary cement
has been located on the Isthmus. 1t Is
hoped, however, that cement can be
secured for such a price In the United
States as to make 1t mere advisable to
procure the needed supply there In
stead Of manufacturing it on the 18TH
mus.
The general features, designs and de-
tails of the Gatur and other locks have
been worked out, together with the
general type and number Of lock gates
to be used. The survey Of all the coun-
try to be converted into the great Ga
tun lake has been completed and fin.
ished reports show that the area will
be III square miles.

Farmer. to Fight Grain Trust.

Open war has broken out between tn,
so-called grain trust and the farmers Of
the Middle West. The farmers say they
have paid $1,000,000 year tribute to the
grain trust, and have been organizing, UNI
til now cooperative elevators are in or
Grafton all over Iowa and are being ex-
tended into Minnesota and Nebraska.
Their organization possesses $4,000
900 reserve fund, while back of the trust
sands the wealth of the Armours and
other millionaire capitalists. The co OPP
erative elevators will get all of the grain
of their own members, but, in order to
win, must also get some Of the grain
from outsiders, thus crippling the trust.
There are now 10 farmers cooperative
societies in Iowa alone, with total mems
bership of $4,000, operating $50 eleva .ors.
Also, the merchants of the Northwest
are organizing cooperative association
to combat the mail order houses, the mer-
chants so organized agreeing to advertise
under one management, in order 20 lessee
the expense and secure an expert man,
ager. This movement is of great econor'
ic Importance.

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND
AMERICAN FOOD STUFFS.

Contract for Canned Meats Placed
I'm Chicngo-British War ONCE

Another large contract for timed
meats for the British Army has been
placed with Libby, McNeill & Libby Of
Chicago, through the Director of Sup
plies Department of tho British War
Office. This contract was competi
tive affair, England, Canada, Australia
and Brazil entering with tenders. 1t
wiS quality and method of packing that
got the Chicago firm the business. Gen
eral Clayton of the War Department
in an interview, according to the Lon
don Standard, stated that the British
Government is highly satisfied with the
Foodstuffs supplied by Chicago, and
they have every confidence in the manu-
features entering Britain from the
Stock Yards.
"The foods for the Army will be
packed under the supervision of British
representatives at the invitation Of the
packers he said. Although the Gov
eminent is ready to rely upon the new
Pure Food Regulations recently inaug-
urated in the United States. All the
talk about the ineficiency of the new
law is sheer nonsense. British officers
in America have gone fully into the
matter and the authorities are per-
fectly satisfied to place orders in Chi
cago when conditions call for outside
supplies of canned meats"

why American sIsrrIaKes Fail.

Again a woman is finding fault with
American wives and complaining of tho
failure of American marriages. This time
it Is Anna A. Rogers in the Atlantic
Monthly, who says that "the excessive
education and excessive physical coddling
of young women" and their devotion to
physical culture and sports, has evolved
hybrid feminine who is a cross between
Q magnifed, rather unmannerly boy and
q spoiled, exacting creature who sincerely
loves herself alone. Thus, explains this
sociologist, "a slipshod, unchivalrous COM
partnership has grown up between the
sexes which after marriage is found to-
be "a cause for tears or temper" One
contributory cause, she says, is the exist
ence of 1921 courts empowered to grant
divorces.

his face heavy. The piece we played
was Garrick's boiled down version OF
"The Tanning OF the Shrew," and he.
