ULTIMATE CONSUMER NIL.
Pure Food Sharps to Give Evidence
Why Prices Are Kiting.

The Senate special committee, which
is 10 inquire into the high cost of liv-
ing, is pegging away. Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts,, is the Chairman,
chosen after the long parley5 for the
purpose of sidetracking Senator Elkins,
of West Virginia, had ended. He has
had two or three meetings of his COM
mittee already, and made it plain that
no testimony Will be heard from ulri-
mate consumers. The special commit
tee reasons that such testimony would
not be satisfactory from any standpoint,
but that much more Cat t,e done by
gathering authentic figures about p.ices
from many quarters. Numerous ex-
perts will be employed. The COMMITTEES
is being criticized on the ground that
there is to be an effort to prove the
tariff is not to blame, but Senator
Lodge boldly challenges that. He says
he ia going after the facts, no matter
what they show.
In the meantime the Republicans are
piling up mass of literature On that
issue for use in the campaign. Speeches
are being made in Senate and House.
The Republicans claim they can prove
that the rise in prices is in good part
due to the increased production of gold.
and they want to din that into the iears
of voters from now on till election day.
The special Senate committee viii try
to formulate conclusions before the
close of the session of Congress. and
for that purpose are driving ahead un-
der high pressure. They know that the
tariff is to be one of the chief issues OF
the campaign, and with characteristic
boldness are preparing to meet it. The
President gave the signal for that in
his New York speech

His Transformation from a
Raw Recruit to a Veteran
ILLUSTRATED

HEW BOOKS in the lit
erary history of this
= country had such in
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the Isl Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
In geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it is
far the best story of the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful, so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
.stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
Cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
selves at once and the
author yiyidly deDicts il.
