washington has more than 5000 miles
of wooden fences, which furnish play
grounds for cat choirs. hiding places for
rats and spiders, obstruction for sunshine
and fresh air. and incubation for disease
germs, according to DR.. Wade H. Atkin-
son.
An address by DR. Atkinson on the
subject, The evils OF high board fences
in relation to clean back yards has
just been reprinted from the Washing
ngton Medical Annals, and reads, in
part. as follows:
These unsightly barbados are demon
alizing from every standpoint OF honest,
open, exemplary life. They discounte-
nance honest labor by hiding the laborer,
put a premium on laziness by covering
up the neglected, encourage slovenliness
by the children half dressed. and eneour-
age crime by the protection offered the
criminal Z alth inspectors and other Of
ficials OF the city government are neglect
ful of their duties. because all these
things are hidden from the passerby as
he journeys through these alleys.
Hardship on the Children.
The atmosphere of our 1900 Enclosures Is
so vile that the children are forced TO play
on the front four-foot parking, which
naturally puts them in the streets TO
breathe infected dust Of sweepers. brave
the dangers Of the whirling automobile,
as well as retard business traffic. Think
of the lives lost each year. OF these lit
tie innocent. growing pleasure seekers;
think Of the anxiety felt by the mothers
when they realize that 1t is necessary
for their children TO have fresh air TO
prevent tuberculosis on the one hand
while on the other hand is the danger
besetting the youngsters should she leave
them out in the street 10 the mercy OF
careless drivers.
An iron fence, when compared with
wood. is about double the expense for
the first production. A good iron fence,
seven feet high, answering all demands
for a fence, will cost about $3.50 per
running foot. Ordinary board fences cost
about 50 cents per foot, chicken-wire
fence from - TO 50 cents, according to
wire; picket paling fence about Is TO 30

Il appeal TO the Commissioners and their
building inspector that all fences shall
be OF iron OF wire, with iron posts and
concrete base; all back steps OF same ma

houses and sheds be built OF iron sheet

and that each shed OF Clubhouse be de-

DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY.

1.-The number of food animals in the
United States has decreased 5,OOO,OOO
since 1901, and the number of consumers
has increased II, 600, 900 in the same
time" So says the bureau of statistics.
And it brings forward figures to gus.
tain its assertion. FOOD amin ais
include cattle, sheep and hogs, and, Of
course, CONSUMERS me the entire
co. 900, 900 population.
Without going any farther, here is
one great cause for the advance in
meat prices, says the Globe.Democrat
Probably the expansion in the produc.
ton of gold for some of the
advance, as it does in that of other
things. But the falling off in the sup.
ply and the increase in the demand
will be sufficient to explain much of
the upward movement in meat prices.
Probably, in some degree, a like cause
can be cited for the increase in prices
for other kinds of food. Everybody
knows that corn and wheat production
has remained practically stationary
for many years, while the gain in
pOpul alton has Deer at the rate of l..
OO0, 900 a year. 1t is doubtless the
same with the vegetable crops which
do not figure 10 the reports of the bu.
reau Of statistics. The tariff has had
but little to do with the increased cost
of living. Natural causes, as here
cited, are largely responsible for this.
Extravaganza also contributes to the
expansion in the housekeeping bills.
1t would seem that the remedy for
this state of things ought TO be easy.
Lei more whea at, corn, cattle, sheep
and hogs be raised. Lands are to be
had at reasonable prices. The profits
from farming are greater than they
ever were before in the memory of men
now living. The talk OF the "good
old times before and during the war
Is foolish. Prices for farm products
are higher now than they were before
or during the civil war. Even in the
deprecated currency of the rebellion
days the prices Of food we're seldom
higher, in terms of dollars and cents,
than they are at this moment. Prices
are on the gold level now. At one
time during the war in took s2.S5 il
currency to buy 81 in gold. All sorts
OF currency now are worth 100 cents
in the yellow metal, and have been TO,
many years. The republican party
fixed that little detail In its resump'
ton OF specie payments in 1879. VIVA,
