the coming winter. Of course TINS Is
what the commission men hope for, for
they have loaded up with butter and
eggs during the summer season, at
prices that were by no means low, ana
higher prices ere TO follow if they are
to reap their anticipated profits. In
fact it has been largely due to the
operations of these same commission
men that prices for these products
went no lower during the past summer,
and for that matter this is an expert
ence that is repeated every year OF
late. Tire was when summer prices
for dairy products, fruit, poultry, eggs
etc. were invariably low, dus to the
greater abundance Of such products
during summer months and the neces-
sity of marketing them while they were
fresh. Now, however, the cold storage
men are in the market, ready to grab
up an almost unlimited amount OF
these perishable products as soon as
prices for the same are even mediumiy
low, and as a consequence the prices
never reach the lower levels that were
so common a few years back.
OF course this is a good thing for
the farmers and dairymen, securing
for them better prices than they have
heretofore been accustomed to receive,
and it is also good thing for the
general public, to the extent that bet
ter service is rendered in supplying the
demand for eggs and other perishable
products during the winter months,
when otherwise there would be a
scarcity of such articles. The effect on
the general cost Of living however is
appreciate, for the consumer is COM
PEELED to pay higher prices for the
products mentioned, both summer and
winter The summer prices are held
up by the demand of the commission
men in seeking stocks to place in colo
storage. and later the commission mer
are compelled to charge still higher
prices in order to clear themselves anc
secure profit for their own operations

Judges With Little to Do. .

Chicago Record Herald.
The chief justice of the Circuit Court
admonishes the public not to condemn
the judges too hastily for the delays and
impotence of the law. Lawyers and liti-
giants. he says, are more to blame than
the judges for the cost and snail-pace
progress" Of justice in certain classes
of eases.
The judges, as rule, are not con
demned except for their own share of
the responsibility. Sensible observers
are well aware that the average law
yer thinks Of delay first, last and all
the time, and that some litigants es-
pecially those who know that they are
wrong encourage their attorneys in
that attitude There is blame enough
for all concerned in the dscreditable
situation, and the judges have enough
to answer for to have the right to es-
cape censure for the contribution of
others
The illustration given by Judge Car
penter js undoubtedly striking. A call
of 100 cases. and mo one wants trial +"
One-fifth of the cases passed on the
pleas of lawyers, though there has
been plenty of time for preparation. No
thought is piver to the interests of the
public. to he rights of the tax payers
to the claims o. plaintiffs The Judge
sitting with folded hands because law
yers are not ready for trial is, however,
a spectacle which suggests that. DOS
sibly. cases are passed and continued
too freely, too obligingly, If the law
yers who plead for delay, We're curtly
and firmly refused the favor, in the
absence Of good and sufficient reason,
they might mend their ways, and thus
their responsibility would be lessened,
When we next hear the cry for more
judges, let us not forget the delay-seek-
ing lawyers and judges with little to do.

Why SALVES FAIL X
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-oniy a LIQUID
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin disease. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged
This the quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in ID. d. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
$1.00 bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the d. d.
d. Laboratories of Chicago for spec
ial large trial size bottle at % cents
on a special offer now This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.

Penalizing Voters.

The Philadelphia Record makes a
good suggestion for the punishment
of the stay-at-home voter. In the City
of Brotherly Love, the negligence of
citizens has reached such a pitch that
10000 out Of 0 voting strength of $780,
900 neglect attendance at the polls.
This in spite of the fact that conditions
in that city demand the most intelli-
gent and widespread participation in
elections.
To remedy this evil the Record sug-
gests the suspension of franchise for
all voters who neglect it for three sue
cessive years without adequate reason,
and to make such suspension effective
it would have the list of delinquents
posted each year until the offenders
purge themselves.
The Boston Herald, in approving of
this suggestion, regrets that this
punishment of non-voters cannot be
carried degree further 50 that "the
man who fails to do his duty at the
primaries or at the election be COM
PEELED to hold his peace thereafter and
refrain from criticising what more
dutiful citizens have done.

MAY LIVE $50 YEARS
If tuberculosis and PreventabIe Dis
eases Are Mastered.

New York, May 8.-When tuberculosis
and other preventable causes of excess
sive mortality are mastered, when
those less than 80 tell the truth about
their youth and those more than so
do the same about their age it may
be possible for actuaries to figure on
$50 years as the span of human life.
The national death rate has largely
decreased, but the decrease is almost
entirely confined to the infantile per-
iod. over so the decrease has been very
small or an actual increase has been
shown by statistics. From 1889 to 1901
there was a decrease of seven in each
thousand of population in the total
number of deaths, but the rate of deaths
from heart disease, cancer, certain
functional ailments and suicide is so
per cent higher in the United States
than the mortality from the same
causes so years ago.
These and many other interesting
facts about the duration of human life
were presented by John K. Gere of
Newark, N. J., the president of the
Actuaries Society of America at the
twentieth annual meeting of the associ-
alton in the Metropolitan building.

BOY MODEL DEAD.
His Picture Has Been Seen by All
Magazine Readers.

Chicago, May .-Four-year- old
Paul Maurice Montfort, who was killed
by falling through a window of a
South side elevated train to the side
walk on 63rd street, was known among
his friends as 1.-The most photographed
boy in America" His father, A w.
Montfort, is a photographer who does
a large amount of commercial work.
and when a firm wanted a baby boy
picture to advertise its goods, Mr..
Montfort used his little son as a
model.
Some of the firms using the boys
picture are national advertisers, and
thus the happy face Of the lad has
looked from street cars, newspapers,
magazines, and bill boards upon resi-
dents of hundreds of cities and towns.
In one of his most widely known
poses the boy is smiling as brand
of talcum powder is being shaken
over him.
In another noted pose he is playing
with a safety razor and laughing. Mil
lions of persons have seen his picture
taken while seated upon tin bath
tub, amusing himself with cake of
soap.
