 Pale. eelorless lips are so disfiguring that women will resort to all sorts of artificial means to get rid of them.

A Wrong 10 be Mshted.

The Washington Post says: "under the old regime, when the law of sup ply and demand was in force in the mart, the city community was as vital. ly interested in good crops as the rurai' and that Is how it came to pass that John sherman contended that an abun- dant harvest was republican inven- ton: but the law of supply and de- mand Is now become obsolete, and the consummer must stand and deliver to the commission merchant and other mlddlemen whatever exaction may be demanded.
 aAbundant harvests no longer have appreciahle influence to decrease the cost of living. Every necessary of life on the table that is produced on the American farm Is higher in price than il ever was before. The supply of live stock does not affect the price Of meat A particle. The same is true of all food products.
 Something Is wrong. Some say Ill the tariff; others say Il Is the trusts others yet declare it is the retail com biue. Be that as 1t may, 1t is an out rage. The cost of living is daily and nightly increasing, and il is going to make deal ol unhealthy discomfort in the country fl stop be not put to It.
 .Congress ought to re-enactl the tax I of supply and demand, and the depart ment of justice should enforce Il. V
 Ne doubt the ability of Congress to 1 interfere in the matter except Ia coop crate with the consumer and producer when they organize to control prices of l food on the basis of supply and de mand. They can organize nationally, l State. wise and locally, just as the trust, commission, or other middie-man or ganize to control prices for their per sonal benefit.
 With the ahlest men in the country who have had control of national af- fairs-such as Secretary Wilson of the l Agricultural Department, of which the country has seores--a plan could be l drawn up to the last detail, to carry on such a proposed service, on principles l as safe and sound as conducting the post .ofiiee, interior or other national department. There are perhaps forty millions of the population who are ma- nifesling the unhealthy diseontentt the Post says k going on because of the unnecessary and arbitrary high prices of food, and one million to invest, So to 1 he repaid with interest, National rood l Exchange could be started and have capital enough to start the enterprise in operation with branches in every l state. \ slight commission alter that, on the goods sold, would meet all ex- penses including interest aud principal of the money borrowed to start with.
 of course the above Is mere sug- xestion how the scheme could ne start ed and carried on. There will ee no resi- io the present ..unhealshy discon- tent, which Is becoming serious matter, with both consumer and pro dueef.
