The Revival OF Prosperity.

Is revival of Industrial prosperity
at hand In the United StatesP That
is the question which is probably
really uppermost in the mind of a
majority of Americans-certainly of
a majority of American business men.
Even the political Issues of a presi-
Dental campaign do not really matter
so much to the country as this ques-
tion of Industrial revival because
after all, politics only concerns the
average American as he thinks the
success of one set of principles or
another will affect the country's prog
ress and welfare.
The country has been looking for a
business revival ever since it caught
Its breath after the temporary col
lapse of last fall, but there was not
much hope of its real appearance un-
til after the election of next Novem.
Der Lately, however, the signs of
recovery have been multiplying so
rapidly as to lead to feeling that,
perhaps, we may not have to wait
until our quadrennial political stock
ia king is over for a return of good
times The national campaign does
not seem to be having its expected
depressing effect upon trade this year
q fact which may be due to the gen.
eral discounting of the outcome, in
conjunction with a combination of
unusually favorable conditions out
side of politics.
This years. crops promise to be the
greatest, in the aggregate, the coun-
try has ever known, and money Is low
and plentiful. Such a combination
always spells prosperity. It's present
effects are visible In the reports of
increasing trade and of general re-
sumption of activity In mills and
factories, which come from every
section of the country and from every
line of production. Apparently the
conclusion has been generally arrived
at that the result of this presidential
election Is not going to interfere with
the process of return to normal con-
ditions Consequently business every
where feels free to take adgantage
of the otherwise exceptionally favor

BY USE OF TEASING NEEDLE
New Method of Removing the Verm-
form Appendix Successfully Prac-
ticed by Rome, \. Y, Physician.

a Utica, n. Y, dispatch says:
Rome is rapidly becoming a COM
munity of apendixless people as the
result of a new bloodless method of
removing appendices divised by Dr..
William b. Reid.
BY the new method, described in
detail by DR.. Reid, it is possible for
a person to enter DR.. Reid'S office,
take a few inhalations of an anes-
thetic and emerge within half an
hour with his appendix in a hermiti-
cally sealed bottle as souvenir.
Within the last four months 1853
residents of Rome, some suffering
from appendicitis, but the majority
in perfect health, have undergone
the new-fangled operation and not
a case has been lost.
The elasticity of the human skin
plays an important part in the OPP
Grafton. By inserting an instrument
through the skin similar to an old
style teasing needle" used in knit
ting, the pore is gradually enlarged
and the skin stretched until there is
an opening the size of a half dollar
piece.
The muscles over the abdomen are
pulled away from on top of the ap-
pendix, and the sack, usually about
the size of a goose quill, and from
an inch to an inch and a half below
the surface of the skin, is pulled out,
cut off and the end tied with a linen
thread
The muscles are then replaced and
the skin contracts quickly to it's nat
ural condition. 1t is stated that less
than teaspOOnful of blood is spilled
in the operation.
Dr. Reid is of Scotch-Irish descent,
and is a native of Altman, Oswego
county, New York. He is a graduate
of Syracuse University and later
took a post graduate course in Ber-
lin and Vienna. He is 81 years Old

THE COLONIAL RECORDS.
Georgia Is Respectable Enough to
Have Them Preserved.
From the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
Isn't the state senate making a
mistake in trying to repeal the law
to provide for the compiling of the
colonial, revolutionary and confed-
crate records? 1t may be that the
work does cost a little at first and
that the sale of the records does not
compensate for the expense, but
these books are being published
every year and the series should be
continued. To halt Just in the mid
die would be to forfeit all that has
been done. When the state takes
up the work again, as it must as
suredly do, it will find that a great
many of the records have been de-
strOyed; that the thread Of the dis
course has been missed, and that the
value of the work has been seriously
impaired. Governor Gambler has
started upon this interesting labor.
and has published five or six vol
umes very Creditably. Why not play
the strings out; why not rescue the
old manuscripts; why not put in

ing to pieces? Georgia has had bad
luck in this matter. Many papers
have been lost or burned up. GeOr-
gia records at the Wisconsin library
are really more valuable than ours
in Atlanta. The British records are
infinitely more complete And yet
because of the expenditure of two
thousand dollars a year the state is
about to call a halt and the compiler
will have to lay down his pen and
bundle away the old records in
brush heap again. Georgia is old
enough and respectable enough to be
proud of her records, and to want
to keep them. She cannot afford
to cease this great labor. Let the
good work go on

HITS THE PURSE HARD
Cost of Living Has Increased
Much in Last Decade.
EVERYTHING CONSUMED HIGHER

Government Figures Show an In
creased Price in Two Hundred
and Fifty-Eight Commodities That
Enter Into the Living of People
of All Classes.
The cost of living, anywhere in
the United States, has increased
greatly during the last ten years.
For instance, coal is higher by 100
per cent than ten years ago. But
if You have no coal, and catch cold
through lack of it you can buy
quinine to cure your cold much
cheaper than you could in 1898. On
the other hand, coffee is cheaper on
the retail market than it was a de-
cade ago, but the drugs most in ia
yor for curing Indigestion, which
coffee sometimes causes, are costlier
than they were then.
Meat has gone up scandalously-
in fact, so per cent. in three years.
Oh, very we'll Vegetables and
canned goods are about as cheap as
ever, and the logic of the household
expense account is making more
yegetarians than appeals to senti-
ment ever did.
But the law of compensation does
not apply so well all along the line.
The government figures show a high
err price on the whole in 25S com
modities that enter largely into the
living of all the people In 1907
the PERCENTAGE over 1906 was 81 per
cent, and 44.4 per cent. higher than
1897, the year OF lowest prices dur
ing the 18-year period, and 29.5 per
cent. higher than the average for
the ten years, 1890, to 1900.
For farm products, taken as a
whole, the increase was greatest
namely, 1919 per cent; for food,
40 per cent; for cloths and cloth
ing, So per cent; for fuel and light
ing, "a per cent; for metals and
implements, 6.1 per cent. for lum-
Der and building materials, 40 per
cent; for drugs and chemicals, 8.3|
per cent; for hOusefurnishing goods,

per cent.

gradually, and the average increase
in cost which enters into ordinary
living expenses is around , per cent.
Furniture and house furnishings
have scared, and experts declare this
is due TO scarcity. of material, espe-
cially oak, to higher cost of the ma
terials for iron and brass furniture,
and to higher prices Of labor.
Tht higher prices of many drugs
and chemicals were caused by the
scarcity of root diggers and herb col
lectOrs, and the lower prices by the
financial panic.
As to canned goods. peaches sold
in 1897 for the same they did in
1907, while some canned products
were much cheaper ten years ago.
The cause for this was that fruits
and vegetables were plentiful last
year, while the production was much
larger. Last year beans were scarce
and higher Up to the time of the
panic buying did not drop off, but
since then prices have been dropping
until they are about as low as they
were in 1896.
The cost of preparing food prod
ucts is much higher now on account
of the increased cost of labor, also
the increase in the farm products
that go into them. Sugar is higher
this year than in 1907, while coffee
is cheaper. Tea is as cheap as it
has been in several years. Staple
commodities are not high this year
in the grocery line In many COM
modities the prices are 10 per cent.
lower than they were in 1907.
A leading clothier says that clothes
are higher than in the last two years,
and that this should not be. This is
partly due to the scarcity of wool,
but is in part due to existence Of
clothing combinations to keep prices
up. Cotton is no higher, yet the
manufacturers are in combination to
maintain high prices. Ten years ago
good wool suits were 100 per cent.
lower than they are now, and were
made of as good material and as
well made, but without the same de-
gree of care as to style. Higher
labor cost, higher wool, prosperity,
and combinations among manufac-
turers are the reasons he gives for
the higher prices of clothing.
Shoes. are 5 per cent. cheaper than
at their highest point, in 1907. They
have, however, gone up in price Is
per cent. in the last IS years, but to
for that they are better
made. The increase in cost of shoes
is due to the high price of hides,
which have increased in IS years $50
per cent. Shoes are relatively cheap
er than the hides from which they
are made, this seeming paradox be-
ing due to improved methods of
The price of meat has been soaring
for the last 8 years, and it is gen.
orally conceded that this has been
due to the going out of the range
cattle and the consequent scarcity of
beef cattle, and the combinations
among the packers, who have vir-
tually a monopoly of the business,
having driven the small country and
town butchers out of business. The
average for the year is fully % per
cent higher than last year, which
was % per cent. more than the year
before.
Prosperity and high wages, as
well as the scarcity of cattle, are
given by the packers as being re-
sponsible for the rise in prices in the
last ten years.

COOK WANTED AT $1,000

If You Know and Do All the
Things He Will Require.

Things He Will Require.
1t is the government that wants
the cook, and the civil service COM
mission is going to try to find him
Cor herr. Ordinarily one would
think that there was little connec-
ton between the ability to cook and
the ability to bound the Plain of
Timbuctu, to spell in the old-fash-
toned way such words as President
Roosevelt uses in his message to
congress, and to find the third term,
two terms being given. But this
government cook will have to under
go a regular civil service examination
of the kind provided for the clerks
who sell postage stamps and the car
riers who deliver letters. In addi-
ton to this each applicant for the
job must write an original thesis on
the subject of the relative nutritiye
value of foods, and be competent to
instruct nurses with respect to the
preparation of foods for certain class
es of patients-for the cook is want
ed for a government hospital, the
st. Elizabeth Hospital for the In
sane at Washington
The thesis requirement will in
volye a knowledge of the chemistry
of foodstuffs; and it will give us a
new idea respecting cooks. Hereto
fore we have thought Of the thesis
in connection with the thin-shanked
and high proved young chap with
the spectacles, who gets a "Ph. D."
upon being graduated, and of ideal
cooks in connection with rotund
black 'mammies," of the south, who
knew more about mullins and fried
chicken in a minute than a doctor
of philosophy could possibly know
in month of Sundays. The black
nanny doesn't know a protefd
from an alkalOid, nor whether there
is sugar or starch in a beet or DO
tao, all of which, and more, must be
known by the author of the thesis
demanded of the government cook.
But it would be safe to wager a dol
lar against a doughnut (of the pro-
lessons COOking) that the old south
ern cook knows more about making
biscuits and coffee and cakes than
the thesisman could ever learn from
book formulas and food charts.
The governments $1,000 cook for
the insane hospital, in addition to
the foregoing, will have to know
how to apportion food for 5000 pa
tients and 700 attendants; how to
