The Cost of Livinu.

In 1898 we had a panic. Prices had
begun to fall in 1891, when it was fore
seen. By 1894 the statistical average
of prices was 14.S points, or, say, IS
per cent. below the boom year, 1890.
Prices remained low for five years,
showing at the bottom decline of
more than one-quarter. The panic was
cured by natural means. People who
needed money sold their goods cheap,
and purchases were stimulated. At the
least men out of work for time could
live cheaply. n
How different the course of the panic
of 1907. In the interval the trusts had
grown to giant size and the law of SUP

quoted exceeded bv $1,000 the $4,000

Since that meeting there has been
effort made to get reductions on the
prices quoted so as to make the total

that satisfactory price can be effected.

A horse owned by T. J. WEIGH &
company and drawing a load of coal
backed off fourteen feet embankment
wall into the Pawcatuck river Thurs
day morning. The coal was to be de-
livered in the rear of the Barber Me-
mortal building and when the horse
was backed to make a turn the off
hind wheel went over the edge of the
wall. The heavy weight pulled the
horse backward and cart, coal, horse
and all went into the river, the driver
managing to jump on terra firma.
. The water was shallow at that point
and neither the horse or cart were sub
merged. The cart turned completely
over, end for end. and when it struck
the river the horse was in the bottom
of the cart, facing the rear, with one
hind leg caught between forward
wheel and the cart. With considerable
difficulty the horse was extricated, his
only injuries being few small cuts.
The horse was led a short distance
along the shore and then up an alley
way into the street. The harness was
broken and one of the rear wheels
smashed and the rear axle broken near
the end.

MAKES HIS OWN HAIR TONIC AND SAVES
 MONEY

The average man when he pays loo for one application of a hair tonic thinks he is paying a pretty good price. but nevertheless the barber isn't making as much money as his customer supposes, The ready -to-use quinine hair tonics of real merit are expensive prepara tions, costing s1.00 and $1.50 for small bottles. But there is one progressive barber who has found way to satisfy his custom. ers and more than "break even" on the use of a quinne hair tonic. He makes it himself, using only one ounce of Beta -QuinoI and half a pint of alcohol and half a pint of water. This gives him genuine and excellent qui- nine hair tonic for about third the usual cost. His own preparation nleases his customers better than the higher-priced tonics he formerly used There is nothing better than Beta Qui- mol for the hair. for 1t keeps the scalp in A clean and healthy condition, re- ,noves dandruff and makes the hair soft and luxuriant. This home made Reta Ouinol hair tonic has stopped fauinr hair on many of the barbers natrons. He has given his recipe to Several of them and his customers are now making the tonic themselves. The materials can be procured at any drug store. Simply shake them well togeth- ar and they are ready to use.
