students have been suspended for cigarette smoking, and gen. eral anti-cigarette agitation is being kept up by teachers, par ents and students. In Fitchburg, Mass, no High School athlete will be allowed to complete in school games unless he gives oath to let tobacco alone. In Westpart, Missouri, the boys are considering the following words from their principal: Many of you boys smoke. l am not going to tell you what will happen if I catch you at it. You know all too well what that means. But what 1 will do is nothing com pared to what the legislature has declared shall be done if you are caught smoking cigarettes. Now  you know you don't want to get into court. Stop smoking now. A.woru to the wise is sufficient.
 One town council in Kentucky utterly forbids boys smoking with penalty attached.
 Arkadelphia's Marshal sent school boy off the streets the other night for smoking cigar cites.
 The cigarette boy is usually the son of the cigar father. Mind how we set examples that are not safe for others to follow.

At s o'clock the standing room only sign was put out and by S:30 all of the available stand ing room was taken and over two hundred people turned away. At noon yesterday the company pa raded our streets with one of the best bands Corpus Christi citi- zens have had the pleasure of hearing for some time.

THE COST OF HIGH LIVING.

In 1855 each individual in the Unit
ed States consumed on the average
So pounds OF sugar pc year; by 1903
the per capita consumption had in
creased to 81 pounds Tor each individ-
ual per year, an increase OF 80 pounds
or nearly so per cent. The average
individual in the United States s con
stantly consuming more sugar; the
average price of sugar tends down
wards, but the Increase of nearly 80
per cent in the per capita annual
consumption accounts in a measure
for the gen raj complaint of incroas-
ed cost OF living
The same reasoning applies IN a
general way TO almost everything OF
common use and consumption among
the American people. The average
family wears better clothes, uses bet.
ter furniture and better dishes, pre-
pares more elaborate foods, wastes
more in every line occupies better
houses rides more in street cars and
railroad trains. and demands more
amusements and more costly amuse
ments every year Under such cir
cumstauce8 even a marked tendency
to wards decrease in the prices OF
commonly used commodities VIII not
manifest itself readily in an actual "a
duction of the cost of living" OF ,he
average family.
Since the beginning OF summer
there has been a steady reduction
month by month In the prices OF most
common commodities, both raw mater
ials and manufactured goods Whole
sale prices in the domestic market
are IN most cases lower now than
they have been for many months, The
tendency toward cheaper commodities
of all sorts rs so marked although
gradual. that with the exercise of a
little more than ordinary economy on
the part OF the average family real
decrease in the cost OF living would
soon become manifest
