The High Cost Of Living.
BY LEO.

Cn6 sore; UuC IlC 0OAS AZ
ed nor the problem solved. Some
eastern man has said that the
trouble is not the high cost Of
living, but the cost of high liv-
ing. This seems to US to hit the
mark exactly.
High living, that is, living to
eat expensive luxuries, and wear
the most costly garment, smoke
plenty of ten-cent cigars every
day, and entertain card and 9TH
er parties often, all this is costly.
People can not so indulge with
out a good deal of money. II
this is the living one desires let
him enjoy himself therein and
pay the cost without a growl.
But if one is satisfied with CON-
mon food and ordinary garments
living can be had within reason
able bounds.
One writer in the Ohio State
Journal last week gave an ac-
count of the food expense for his
family of five persons per week,
the aggregate being four dollars
week for the five, a little less
than one dollar a week for each
person: Flesh food was not used
but plenty of bread and vegeta-
bles, such as peas, beans, pota-
toes, &c. Surely this is cheap
enough living, and probably more
conducive to health than cram
ming the stomach with meat,
pastries. nuts, wines, and rich
cakes.
We have no special plea to make
for vegetable diet, nor indeed for
any sort of food. What we ad-
vocate is moderation in eating.
There is more danger in cram
ming the stomach with rich food
than in a shortage of grub. The
poor and prudent man is never
afflicted with gout; that is the
heritage of the rich man who
stuffs himself with more luxuries
than nature can quietly endure.
We hardly think that the prob
ing now in vogue will teach us
more than we know at present.
1t will not induce gluttons to
practice moderation in eating and
drinking. What we need is a
moral awakening as to right liv-
ing. Law is not likely to make
people moderate and wise. Law
never made people virtuous. Man
must have his inner life made
right before he can correct bad
habits. And even men of intel.
ligence and pietY must be on
their guard against violating the
laws of their physical being, fol
as it is said, Whatever a mar
soweth that shall he also reap'-
that and no other.
Every family can, to some ex
tent. correct the present higl
price of food. Let there be pru
dence in buying supplies for tn
family and less waste of eatables
and the cost of living will be con
siderabIy less. We do not advO
cate starvation ratiOns, but tn

Summer Homes.

From the Boston Transcript.
In few respects have the customs Of
the American people more rapidly
changed within the memory of living
men than in reference to the summe,
outing. 1t is only within the last gen.
GRAFTON or two that people have gener-
in the country. by the seashore or in the
of maintaining two regular homes prac
tically come in, but the way in which the
year is divided between the two has very
greatly changed in the last half century.
The country season is steadily growing
longer All this is the logical outcome
Of the growth of our cities, as well as the
growth of wealth and of public taste.
The old Boston of seventy years ago was
almost as rural in its access to the fields
and the seaside as are many of the
places in which Boston people now main
tain their summer establishments. The
time has gone by when an unwritten law
of duty or a social custom compelled
even the wealthy to choose between stay
ing in the city during the heated term or
seeking what repose could be found in a
few approved watering places whose
ma mmoth hotels were usually congested.
Yet the time when the revolution in
thought that impelled the city country
ward in the summer began Is not so long
gone by that the middle-aged, or the man
and woman in the fOrties. cannot recall
the curiosity which inspired them to
doubt whether the closed shutters on
urban residence streets mean that the
family was actually away.

Getting Higher Up in Pittsburg.

The Pittsburg graft probers are actually
getting to the higher up principals.
The indictment of President Hoffstot of
the German National Bank of Allegheny
on charge that he was the chief person
concerned in the bribery of municipal
legislators is an indication that the in
curry is not to be halted out of considera-
ton for the prominence and dignity OK tie
real offenders. Hoffstot is president of
the Press Steel Car Company, one of the
most prominent of the large industrial
corporations of this country. His finan-
oial resources are probably as great, with
perhaps two or three conspicuous excep-
lions, as those of any other citizen of
Pittsburg. According to all indications
the case against him is clear and his con-
viction is regarded as certain unless tech
meal flaws are discovered in the indict-
ment or unless the prosecution is per-
rnitted to flag. The president Of the
Workingman's Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Allegheny has confessed that
he bribed councilmen to the extent of
5000 1t may be that the bankers of
Pittsburg will soon be following the ex-
ample of the councilmen and will hurry
into court with confessions in the hope of
securing some degree Of leniency. The
prospect for thorough housekeeping in
Pittsburg was never brighter.

implement OF fastening. It is an orna-
ment as we'll. In many cases it is used
chiefly because of its ornamental char
acter. A modest black-headed pin will
hold the hat in place just as we'll as an
elaborate product of the jewelers. shop.
gaudy glass bulb, metalized flower or
some other jewel. But the feminine soul
shrinks from such a waste of oppor-
tunities. Thus the hat pin question re-
solves itself, from this point of view. into
one OF convenience. 1t will be awkward
to have a large assortment of long and
short fasteners of different colors and
styles. Against this difficulty is to be
measured the public danger, which is
real and not imaginary. 1t is to be hoped
that the Commissioners will be cour-
ageous enough to hold a hearing on the
subject and admit the supporters and
the opponents of this proposed legislation.
A full discussion of the case can lead
to no other conclusion but that the
interests of public security demand the
limitation of these millinery implements,

voice of fashion
