The germ of hydrophobia has been
found. 1t now remains, observes the
New York American, only to muzzle

Clothes don't make the man, argues
the Dallas News, but in some longi-
tudes they make pretty effective

Probably limit to the price of
beef will be reached when the con-
sumner refuses to stand another raise

What has become of denatured al
cohol? asks the Memphis Commercial
4 Appeal. Wasn't it expected to set
lot of machinery in motion?
The fact that there is now luna
tic asylum near Paderewski's home,
insists the Atlanta Journal, is warn
ming to lesser piano players to stop
in time.
It may be worth while recording,
declares the New York Post, that the
list of prominent Chicago citizens
who are reported as about to put into
effect a new method of raising chill
dren comprises five families, with
total of two children.
The gap between the price the far
mer receives and the price the coll
sumner pays Is widening, notes the
New York World, Except in butter

half to one-thlrd of the selling price,
almost all farm and garden products
cost the consumer "a for every dollar

A deeply serious protest is uttered
against calling San Francisco by the
triffling name of Frisco, because the
place was named for st. Francis of
Assist, and to call it out of his name
sis an insult to his memory" Well,

Maryland has adopted the primary
election plan of making nominations

gin between the price paid producers
and that at which it is served tc
consumers is too great. AS a con
sequence, families have cut down
their daily demands. The first day.
of the increase in price have seer
considerable reduction. And this
without doubt will be maintained tn
a great extent The pity of 1t is that
in many poor families the babies will
