WAGES PAID OUT FOR FOOD
Figures Show That Bulk of EarnInos
Go for Absolutely Necessary
Expenses.

The standard of living among work
men in this city has been investigated
and reported on by the New York
Association for Improving the Condi-
ton of the Poor. The report shows
that among 1000 men, who had been
compelled to ask for aid, the average
yearly wage, when employed at full
time, varied from 1925 to s$575. The
men whose statements were used in
this computation were practically all
able bodied, with families and anxious
to work. The percentage Of skilled
and unskilled laborers in the 1000
was about equal. The average wage
fell more than 5000 short of the $500
necessary for a decent standard of
living under prevailing economic con-
ditions in this city. This standard
was fixed by a recent study made un-
der the Sage Foundation, which
showed it was impossible for a family
of five or six, the average size, to
maintain normal standard of living
on an income under $500 year. The
federal bureau of labor reports an in
age income among 1,415 workmen in
the North Atlantic states, among
whom the percentage Of skilled labor
was high, was s834.S3. Against this
was an average yearly expenditure of
$77S.O4, of which but 43 per cent. was
spent for food. A report based on re-
turns received from about 1000 fami-
lies in Berlin and Hamburg, in Ger
many, showed an average yearly in
come for skilled workmen there of
1858 SO, and the average expenditure
$457.71, of which $51.5 per cent was
spent for food alone. These figures
we're obtained by the imperial statisti-
cal department of Berlin, and COM
mented on in London newspapers
Among the unskilled laborers in in
dustrial and commercial occupations,
the report showed an average yearly
income of $409.78, and an average
yearly expenditure of $411.70, Of
which 81 per cent. went for food
alone.

Future of Spinal Anaesthesia.

The position which spinal anaesthe-
STA is destined to hold in the field Of
surgery in the future is not yet
clearly to be discerned, It's true
claims, indeed, at the present day are
not very easy to state with precision,
for: it is comparatively new venture
and it's methods are not yet certain,
nor are the opinions as to it's value
among those who are practicing it by
any means unanimous. :. 49,.
Spinal anaesthesia does not appear
to be welcomed so warmly in Great
Britain as in some of the continental
countries, and we believe that the
main reason is that there is less
cause to be dissatisfied with the use
OF general anaesthetics here than
there is abroad.-Lancet Nondon).

we urge owners of orchards to employ
competent men to teach them how to
prune, study the best methods as
found in the books, or let them alone.
We. present three examples of bad
pruning in the pictures with this ar

For the cleaning of the old orchard
where many large limbs are to be re-

time to prune, but the cutting out Of

found that more than So per cent of
them drank coffee before going to
school, over At per cent of them had
coffee twice day, and almost II per
cent of them had coffee three or
more times day. A pamphlet will
soon be published as warning against
giving the children too much coffee.
The Ezra city hospital of Stockholm

legal way of disposing of this surplus
seems to be to forward it to the &C.
counts of the next year. To avoid
this the city physician and the board
of health have proposed to reduce the
charges so as to wipe out the surplus.

STILL HUNTING FOR
DR.. HAWLEY CR|PPEN
London Detective Is Now On
His Way to Canada
MANY CLUES FOLLOWED
1t is Believed by Inspector Dew of Lon
don That DIR. Crippen and Miss
Lcneve Are on Steamer
En- Route to Montreal
MANY CLUES FOLLOWED

London, July 25.-That DR.. Hawley
Crippen and his former stenographer,
Ethel Clara Leneve. are aboard the
Canadian Pacific steamer Montrose, now
on the high seas bound for Montreal,
Is the firm belief held by Scotland
Yard.
Since Crippen and his companion dis
appeared more than two weeks ago
from the Hilldrop Crescent residence,
where a mutilated body, supposed to
be that of Crippen's wife, was found
under the cellar floor, search has been
made in many countries, special at
tention having been given to France
and of the many clues followed to
their ending that which led the police
to the docks at Antwerp and to pursuit
across the ocean seems to hold out the
best prospects for the capture of the
missing doctor and the Leneve woman.
Inspector Dew is now aboard the
steamer Laurentic, which left Liverpool
on Saturday last, and Is due to arrive
at Montreal July 80. That Is the date
also of the arrival of the Montrose,
but the Scotland Yard officials are hope
full that the inspector will reach Ri
mouski In time to arrest the fugitiyes.
Inspector Dew knows both Crippen and
the Leneve woman personally, and can
be depended upon to identify the cou-
pie, no matter under what disguise
they are travelling. According to one
dispatch received here from Montreal
the Canadian Pacific officials were in
receipt Of a wireless message from the
Montrose, stating that the Leneve wom-
an had been found and had confessed.
Another dispatch from Montreal stated
that the company had been unable to
establish communication with the
steamer.

who have been the object of minute In
quiries by the London police, were

provided they could obtain a two-berth
cabin.
The passenger agent of the line re-
calls their appearance on their arrival
at the steamer. The elder man, he said,
looked unkept. He had dropping mus
tache, high forehead and heavy eye
brows. There were spots on his face
which seemed to be eczema. The man
had the appearance of professor or
a doctor. The boy, who looked like

round, pleasing face. Upon being
shown a photograph of DR.. Crippen the
passenger agent said:

He added that Mr.. Robinson did not

boy did not speak at all. Robinson
wore a light gray suit and a gray
