this can be developed and make itself felt only

CuSly the solidarity Of all literary interests At
present they are too quick to behave as though

stopped-up feeling that all catarrh
sufferers have. 1t heals the diseased

BILL, BY BACON,
IS ADOPTED BY SENATE
Its Provisions, If Finally Pass
ed, Would Affect Gaynor
and Battle
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. S.-The
senate yesterday afternoon passed SEN
ator Bacon's bill to parole United states
prisoners under certain conditions. III
met with no opposition. but whether 1t
has such easy sailing in the house re-
mains to be seen.
The measure Us one in which the officers
and inmates of the Atlanta federal prison
are deeply Interested This is particular
ly true of old man Tom Battle, OF Ma
con, and John II. Gaynor, who was i'm
pIicated in the Oberlin Carter army
scandal and conspiracy at Savannah.
Battle is over so years of age and Is
serving a life term in the penitentiary
for murder. He killed a man in the Ma
con federal building about four years
ago, was tried, convicted and sentenced
i'm the United States court
Mrs. Gaynor, wife of the celebrated
conspirator,' in common with the rela-
tives of hundreds of other prisoners, has
interested herself i'm the parole bill.
She believes that its provisions are
such that her husband, aged and infirm'
may escape the hardships and trials con-
sequent upon his confinement, though
she realizes that his pardon is out of the
question.
Under the provisions of the bill, any
United States prisoner who. has been
confined for q year and a day, or more,
uAy be released on parole, under rigid
conditions and regulations, provided his
conduct has merited it.
The warden and physician of each
prison. together with a special agent of
the department OF justice, constitute the
parole board of each prison. The board
will be controlled in it's actions by re-
ports from proper prison authorities con-
corning the conduct, etc, of the appli~
cant for parole.

THE COST OF LIVING
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

II is claimed that the worlds high
watermark in the cost OF living has been
reached The price OF everything. from
the fianneIs IN which the newborn babe
Is wrapped. to the coffin in which the
aged man is laid TO rest has climbed
to an unprecedented height The whole
world Is trying TO ascertain the cause
but every man denies responsibility.
There are so many twists and turns
the path that leads from production to
consumption that IL is difficult to nix re-
sponsibiIItyr. but every American con-
suuer has turned detective and the
search for the guilty ones Is on.
Fortunately there are a number Of
clues which suggest where to look for
the trouble. First OF all. it is found that
the income OF the average American
family il 800 a year. Of which about
$40 goes for food and drink As there
are some 100000 families in the United
States this means that the nations food
bin Is about 1850. O0o0C0 a year. OF this
one third goes for the purchase or
meats. The American people are now
eating something like 20.oo.oOoOco POUNDS
of meat a year. and for every cent that
Is added TO the pound-cost OF that meat
the consumer has TO bear an additional
burden. Of $40 co.. 90. A similar raise In
the price of other foodstuffs would mean
q total increase Of about ssoo.oco.0oo a
year in the burdens OF the consumer for
food alone Therefore il is plain that
the increase In prices is a case of grand
larceny and not OF petit larceny.
In following out clues the price of beef
claims first attention Tt Is not new
subject. More than 30 years ago people
were asking why there was such great
margin between live cattle and a steak or
roast To settle the matter the Ameri-
can AgricuIturist Of New York followed
an average sized bullock through the
sharnhles and on TO the man who bought
the steak and the roast. IL was found
that the dressed beef cost upward of 10
cents a pound-which is at least % per
cent more than the average retailer pays
today. Yet when the man with the mar
ket basket came In he got his cut OF
porterhouse for II cents a pound. and his
round steak for less than Il cents. Many
retailers who pay cents pound for a
carcass today sell the porterhouse at Is
cents and the round steak at IS
In this year of grace 1910 another bull
lock was followed through the shamhles
20 the price-fixing OF the retail cutter.
Cattle quotations snow that IN lhe III
cago market for the week ending Janu-
AIRY Is. the average price on the hoof was
eS5 cents a pound At St Louis butcher
bought the carcass of an average steer
for 8 cents a pound. and in order to
dlsprove the conclusions of Secretary
wilson. published a detailed account OF
how he cut 1t up and sold IL. IL weighed
500 pounds and. cost him so. He sold the
porterhouse steaks at % cents. sirloin ana
prime rib at II I-2 cents, round steak at
IL IL cents. and other cuts proportion
atsly. He received ISIS for it at retail.
The only trouble seems TO be that he
placed his prices at retail too low. Most
