1t is frequently said that a family
can live for much less in England than
In America, although the details are
seldom given in support Of the state
ment. A committee of representative
English working men, which visited
America not long ago, has reported that
there is practically no difference in the
price OF food in the two countries, and
that in some parts Of England provis
Ions are more expensive than in New
York. Rent is higher here than in
Great Britain. But even with the
greater rent the American working
man Is better off, for his wages are so
much higher than those paid on the
other side that, as the committee has
reported, the American can save two
dollars as easily as the Englishman
fifty cents. The contented workman
is the one who saves fifty cents or two
dollars, rather than the one who
complains that his wages are so small
that he can save nothing. The news.

Is men Of this type the world over who
are the bone and sinew of their respec.
tive countries. In democracies such as
England and America they control in
real sense the national policies. The
cost Of living does not trouble them
very much, for they have schooled
themselves to adjusting their imme.
diate wants to the necessity of provid.
ing for future when they may rest
from their labors.

nave cost considerable. The owners or
the property did not care TO spend the
money The city officials whose duty it
was to see that firetrap hotels were not
permitted to run did not interest them
selves in the matter. Consequently a
number of people were burned to death.
Fort Wayne is far from being the only
town with an old hotel building which
as soon as it has gone into smoke and
ashes will be discovered to have been a
hretrap. The discovery would be made
too late to save the lives of unfortun-
ate occupants. Cities and towns which
wish to do their full duty by the strang-
er within their gates should be stirred
to action by what has happened at
Fort Wayne. The authorities of each
place should have its hotels investi-
gated to find out whether there is a
tretrap among them. Where one is
found the changes that will make it
safe should be ordered This is what
should be done generally. Common hui
manity and regard for the lives Of
home people and strangers demand it.
Business considerations require it. In
some places the lesson of the Fort
Wayne hotel fire will be needed. In
others the authorities will trust to luck.
They will assume that the good fortune
which has protected insecure hotels
hitherto will stand by them. They will
not hunt for firetraps, but will wait
until fire shall have revealed their ex
istence.

Ashes made from hard wood are
more valuable than those made from
soft wood. 1t is claimed that some
ashes from soft wood have not enough
value to make 1t worth while to bother
with them. 1t has also been discovered
that the value is largely governed by
the part of the tree from which the
ashes are made. 1t Is declared by
chemists that the ashes of young twigs
are of more value than the ash Of
the trunk Of the tree, while the ash
Of the leaves is still more valuable.

patrons should take into consideration
the fact that only a limited number
of season tickets are printed for each

tickets is $500 and none will be sold

local boosters and agents of the Red

guaranty tickets presented for each

can be had at less than $500. The
part of wisdom and economy is to buy
$3.50 season tickets before they are ex-
hausted. The extreme merit of the
programs, the list of celebrities and
entertainers make the $1.50 price seem
ridiculously low. Most people pay half
that to hear Dr. Cadman or Capt.
