New York. Jan. "a 49, Bradsreets
has compiled record of prices on
nInety-six commodities that enter into
daily and direct consumption by tue
people. and the result shows that the
cost of living has now reached an ao'
solutely high record, exceeding even
that of March |. 1907, when prices
went soaring In anticipation OF the
panic which came in the fall oil that
year. The figures for Dec. l last were
below the previous high record OF
1907. but the continuous skywara
movement OF prices in the last month
of 1909 had established a new high
water mark by Jan. |.
The figures compiled by Bradstreets
are known as index numbers. fhey
are based on actual wholesale quota
lions per pound for the commodities
in question which. 10 make them
comprehensive. are averaged over
wide area of markets. When it is said
that the index number for Jan. l. 1910
was S9.2Sl0 1t means that man buy
ing at wholesale one pound each OF
the ninety.six commodities on that
date would have to pay that sum as
a total. No attempt is made to COM
pute retail prices because of the wide
fluctuations
Increased 81 Per Cent In Two Years.
The new number surpasses the
previous high record of March /, lsOI
s9.i293. by IL per cent. This ratio
also measures the advance that was
made on the ninety.six commodities In
the month of December last. AT the
same time the present index number
reflects a gain of III per cent over
Jan. /. 1909. which means that the
prices Of the ninety-six articles rose
approximately 81 cents within a years
time. The lowest point for commodity
prices for which Bradstreets have any
record was touched on July ]. 1875.
when the index number was s5.'Ols.
The latest figure shows a gain OF more
than CT per cent over this number. in
dicating. of course that for every dol
lar You spent then for living expenses
YOU are spending sl.61 now.
The new index number mirrors an
erase of 1875 per cent over the com
paratively low point reached on June
l. 1908, but it is only 3.5 per cent over
Jan. l. 1907. also a time of ascending
prices as forerunners OF the panic.
The gain over Jan. /. 1908, is 7O.s per
cent. while the rise over the same
date In 1905 is 142 per cent. an In
crease over January. 1904, of l5.5 per
cent.

For NEW SHIRT FACTORY

There is every indication that
Fredericksburg will shortly see IN
operation new shirt factory, en-
ploying upward of one hundred OPP
eratives. The proposition of certain
gentlemen from Baltimore to oper-
ate such a plant here is meeting
with much encouragement from both
the city authorities and its business
men. The plan to have the city pur-
chase lot and erect thereon a build
ing for this plant and then to rent
said property to the men who pro-
pose to run the factory for a term OF
wears is logical one and will. we
believe, meet with the approval OF
our taxpayers generally. OF course
all the city would desire would be a
guarantee that the factory Will be
started when the building is ready
for occupancy and rental sufnclent
to pay interest, taxes. insurance and
repairs. The whole matter has been
placed by the Council in the hands
of suitable committees, which will
investigate and report at once to
that body, when doubtless final steps
will be taken to consummate the
plans outlined above. Already guar
antees of sufficient labor have been
given the gentlemen interested and
there seems no reason to doubt that
in a short time this new manufactur-
ing plant will be in full swing.

Go South, young farmer!
The tide of immigration has a.
ready set in towards the South and
the South welcomes them with open
arms. We want here, however,
only those men and women who
have in them the making of good
citizens and we can content ourselves
with the steady flow of this class Of
settlers without pandering for that
undesirable element daily flowing
into the United States from Europe.

ALFALFA BLOAT.
Methods for the Presentation OF this
4 Costly Trouble.


Costly Trouble.
Several costly dairy cows have been
lostf this season en- the Twin Falls
South Side project by reason of bIaat
caused by eating too much green al
falfa. Creamery officials In Twin
Falls have advised the farmers to feed
only dry alfalfa in the future. Sheep
are also subject to bloat from pastur-
ing on green alfalfa fields. A visit last
spring TO the Noyinger e Darrah
ranches, north CT Shoshone on the
Big Wood river revealed a successful
plan TO prevent this trouble Of bloat in
stock. Mr., Darrah showed his visitors
q small pasture in which were feeding
sleek cattle and fat hogs The feed
wag.a mixture of alfalfa and orchard
grass. Another big field was a waving
mass Of orchard grass and alfalfa
which was intended fer the usual cut
tings of hay and later for sheep pas
ture in the fall Mr. Darrah explained
thatineither cattle or sheep were sub
iact to bloat when feeding on a green
pasture of mixed alfalfa and orchard
grass. AS this mixture makes q SPLEEN
did quality of hay as we'll as pasturage
and at the same time obviates the dan
ger Of bloat IN stock, 1t would seem
that the farmers of southern Idaho
should give it thorough trial Il is
certainly q losing. proposition to SUIT
fer che loss. Of valuable stock from al
falfa hloat. but If q mixture Of alfalfa
end orchard grass viii eliminate thaf
danger and at the same time retain the
advantages Of alfalfa as pasture
crop, our farmers should profit By the

MAKE
PEOPLE THINK

The report of the physical director
of the Y. NJ. c. A. that SO many OF
the BOYS examined have curyatures
of the spine, should this not make
the people think? Can these boys
have good health and develop into
strong robust men? No, 1t is i'm
possible: for wherever there is a
curvature there is pressure on the
nerves cutting off the mental i'm
pulses and the organs ramified by
these impinged nerves fails to per
form their functions. Thousands go
to an untimely grave because of cur
vatures and subluXation of the verte-
brae Thousands drag through n
miserable life because of defective
spine. There can be no disease
when there is a proper brain stimula
to all parts of the body.
Did you ever saw board and the
board pinched the saw? When there
is a curvature or subluXation the
nerves are pinched. Could you posi-
bly, have health in that condition?
You often hear people say, Oh, my
stomach gives me so much trouble, or
their kidneys or heart. Possibly
rheumatism troubles them or my
wife is an invalid caused by female
troubles and / have the headache so
much Reader do you know that
impinged nerves cause all these dis
eases as well as almost every known
disease. Now candidly how can med
icine relieve this condition? Why do
people have appendicitis? Because
the nerve which ramifes the appendix
is impinged in the spine.
We used to talk about the blood
heating the body. Friends that was
a mistake. 1t is the nerves that heat
the body. The greatest product of
our country is the children. How
much do you study about health?
Most of you are depending on old
rusty superstition. You take the
teachings of the past for granted, too
much. Kerosene was a good light in
its day but had to give way to cleo
tricity. Drugs were the best we
knew at one time. When you take
medicine you treat the effects. Bet
ter remove the cause. Did you ever
know an effect without a cause?
Friends, if you are sick it is be
cause mate intelligence given to us
by Our Creator is interfered with by
pressure on the nerves by the verte-
brae. Friends do you know that
germs are not the first cause of ty-
phoid or tuberculosis?

MOST IMPORTANT
MEETING IN
YEARS

Next Tuesday evening the an
nual meeting of the members of
the Chamber of Commerce will
take place at Margery hall. From
what The Sentinel can under
stand the coming annual meet
ing will be of somewhat different
character than the past member
ship meetings have been. It il
not 10 be banquet, that may
come later, but il is the annual
meeting of the members for the
purpose of electing directors and
also-to outline and discuss the
plans for the work of that body
for the coming year.
The meeting should be fraught
with interest for every well wisher
and booster of Grand Junction and
Mesa county 1t is a meeting in
which every man who owns single
dollars worth of property in Mesa
county should attend. Especially
should each member make it a point
to be present at this annual meeting.
Without discussing what other an
nual meetings have developed, the
present one is of a different nature.
The question of who will or will not
be directors is of the smallest mo-
ment beside the many questions that
must, be met and discussed and plans
outlined to care for the growth and
advancement which Grand Junction
and Mesa county is making.
1t is true that the best possible
material for the directorate must be
secured, but the members will not
haggle over the men, so much as they
will over their willingness to work
and take hold for the upbuilding of
this city.
Ii is especially urged that the bust
ness men come out and be in attend
ance at this annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce membership
and express their views on matters
and things. The present board Of
directors not only want the wheel
horses who are always in line. Lut
the fellow who lets the other fellow
do it, while he takes the benefits of
their work and says nothing.
The man who owns property, is a
speculator in city or county property
and derives perhaps greater benefits
than any other class OF individuals is
wanted at that meeting.
