ROYAL GUEST AT DINNER
No Finger Bowls on the Table Hon
 0rS for the Hosts Chef.

Dinner is the only meal at which the royal guests are expected to ap- pear, when the king sits In the cen- ter of one side of the table. as is his custom at home Etiquette used to demand that only the royalties should be provided with menus. but this cus- tom is not invariably observed at tho present time It is still de rigeur' that there should be no finger hpwls on the table, a custom dating From .Iacobite days. when the partisans of the Stuarts used to pass their glasses across the finger bowls before drink
 ing, which was their way of toast ing "the king over the water
 Should the royal guests be in mourning, every other guest must ap- pear in mourning of the same degree. and of course no one must dream of leaving before the royalties have re- tired When the king is Accompanied by the queen the men must wear knee brooches and silk stockings but not so when the king is alone Another euriors item of etiquette is that neither the queen nor the princess of Wales must eyer be entertained by a bachelor l have never heard wheth- CT it is permissible for the king or the prince to be entertained by mai den lady.
 The king, though not liking long dinners, has keen appreciation of what is good in eating and drinking as in other things On at least two occasions he has bestowed the M. V. O. (Member of the Victorian Order) on his hosts chef in acknowledgement of the satisfactory nature of his cooking. This order was originated by King Edward and has reuuently done duty Doubtless it has made it's recipients extremely happy, but it has come to be regarded with much amusement by the kings intimates.
 On one occasion it was bestowed on the mayor of some little foreign town where his majesty had been detained ill order to listen to some little te- dlous, though complimentary speech flying. Speaking of the incident that same evening. the king said of the mayor: T didn't know what to do With him, so gave him the M. V. O."
 And served him - we'll right" ex- claimed one of the listeners, at which ms majesty laughed as heartily as anybody

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON ). [. High Prices Pinch "Uncle Sam" As We'll As Poor
 Working Man. INSURGENTS ASSURED Dr. Wiley Has His Troubles, Too No Buildings Bill Is Likely
 This Year.
INSURGENTS ASSURED

Washington. ID. C.. Jan. 21.-Uncle Sam or in other words, the Nation al Government, is troubled as muLh over the cost of living as the ord. : nary individual is The hign prices of almost everything in daily uae help to swell the National budget md make this a billion dollar nation ' With orders from the White House to cut down the estimates on which the annual appropriations are based. the various Departments of tli> gov ernment are confronted with the diff ficulty that, even if no allowance bn made for national expansion, the in creased prices make it impossible to duplicate the work done and mater ials purchased last year at anything like the same conditions, and prices have not yet reached the top. One shopper who was looking at some informed that prices quoted were subject to advance without notice. Not to chan ge' but to advance. V Everyone seems to be convinced that any change must be for the worse, at least for some time to come.
 The Government difficulty was il- lustrated recently when the appro- priation for the War Department was under discussion. The Military Af- fairs Committee was informed that the cost of clothing, provisions, and oth- CT sug,2lies for the military establish ment, ss3uld necessitate an addition al appropriation of about $1,500,000 over last year. When the House passed the Army Bill it called for more money than the estimates orig inally furnished by the War Depart ment.
 Living Is High in Washington.
 People who come to Washington Tor elthe' short or long sojourns have been in Nus habit of complaining about tht' excessive prices they have been charged here for everything re- quired in their daily life. Washing tonians have tried to refute these as sertions but recently they have been proved by an investigation and com parlson of prices charged in different Cities. Without going into details, suffice it to say that the merchants of Washington, especially those who handle meats, groceries, dairy pro- uuce and vegetables, were convicted oy their own action of charging pric- es not warranted by conditions. for upon the publication of prices charg- ed here and elsewhere the prices in

 Congress to Find Out.
 Whatever may be the real trouble Congress is deeply interested and wants to know the truth Every in dividual Senator and Representative eels the need of ascertaining wheth- CT. ill the most prosperous times this of commodities is natural, or wnetE- CT it is brought about by artificial conditions. If the fault all ii,. w.t.. t.t retailers, as some persons con terd, there may be q way to .:uro ihc re. acity of those merchants T s.;:, the labor unions, as others assert. they may be met, but wherever the fault lies, the people want to k.nw 1t and they demand q remedy.
 Insurgents Confident.
 The little band of political gladia- tors who have been fighting for more liberal rules in the House of Rnpra- sentatives are possessed of the most supreme faith that they will win out in their fight They have never been able to show their real strength in hot boC ;,, sue on the floor of the House, so the public is not informed just what they could do if hard pressed. It is known, however. that they have re- gently won some recruits from the ranks of the regulars, and they make the claim that they can call on 'a score or two more votes any time that they give the word
 It is not Speaker Cannon, the in- surgents say. whom they oppose: it is the House rules. Still, in the minds Of most persons Cannon and the or. sanitation are synonymous. and it IS probable that Cannon will go down with the rules. He may win out in lis own district next fall, as I have previously pointed out, but there are prospects present that another man will be selected by the next Congress to wield the Speakers gavel. As was pointed out last year before the Speaker was selected, there is no ob- lisation on the House to elect one of it's own members Speaker. How would it do for instance, to elect Col Theodore Roosevelt to that exalted post?
 The PinchOt Rumpus.
 When the Administration seriously suggests, or considers, the name of Seth Bullock for the position of Chief Forester to succeed Pinchot," re- marked a man prominent in Wash ington, it indicates that somebody must be pretty badly panic-stricken. Who ever heard that the former rough-rider and friend of Tle 3dore Roosevelt knew anthing about fores- try? Apparently the only reason he is suggested for the place is because he is known widely as a Roosevelt man, and it is thought that the peo- pie who consider the removal of Pinchot a slap at the Roosevelt pol ieies would be placated and r4a.ssur- ed if another Roosevelt stalwart were given the place.
 Still, things just as funny as the appointment of Seth Bullock have happened in Washington. They may be duplicated again.

the Washington markets were rpdur- cd materially. At that, they remained high and probably will continue to be high in the eyes of the average con sumer, who as a rule is dependent on weekly or monthly wage which sell dom expands to meet the rise in the. cost of commodities.
 Labor investigates.
 The relation between income and outgo is a thing which presses upon rich and poor alike. The rich. who may live up to the incomes derived from interest on securities. feel the pinch when prices advance. The lady who may have to go without new sealskin coat or new model limou- sine car may suffer as keenly from chagrin as the workingman s wife who Is compelled to substitute rump roast or corned beef and cabbage for the traditional turkey at Thanksgiv- ing. While the rich inveigh against the tariff on automobiles and furs. the poor assemble in their labor unions and declare for an investigatiou of the food trust \ few days ago the Central Labor Union of Washing ton met, and. according to reports of the meeting. vigorous language was directed against those held re- sponsible for prevailing high prices of food" One of the members in at tendance said: II ask the delegates to lend every ounce of their strength in the fight against eXhorbitant prices for table supplies" Another member declared that a small body of men restricted the food supply. Another said that the present question of food prices was the most important one which has come before Congress in years
 Cold Storage and Prices.
 In casting about for the causes of high prices, and the causes seem to be many, someone has suggested that the practice of holding food supplies i'll cold storage was partly responSi- hle. In fact. bills and resolutions have been introduced in Congress. and others are contemplated, looking to the investigation of the cold stor- age business with relation to the prices of food stuffs. The latter in- vestigation, which has already been of value, promises to be unusually inter- esting.
 It has been suggested that the fact that butter, eggs, poultry, and meat are stored in large qualities indicates that there is a trust engaged in that work. A cursory inquiry seems to show that this assumption is without foundation. The reason for storing goods where they will not deteriorate is found in the tendency to overpro- duction at certain times. When there Is glut in the market making pric- es unremunerative. two courses are open; first, to destroy the surplus or second, to hold it for better prices The first course has often been pur- sued. Who has not heard of cargoeS of fruit and vegetables being dumped into the ocean to keep prices firm? Who has not heard of fruit rotting un- der the trees or being fed to hogs? On the other hands when produce can be stored at reasonable rates. pre- venting a glut and so equalizing the supply as well as the prices, the pro- ducer and the consumer are benefit ted alike. Another argument in fa- vor of the innocence of the storage people is that the goods stored usu- ally belong to aultitude of owners

mas been feDuked, anu II lS only just
 to recognize his sterling qualities There is another valuable public ser o1 his value and his acknowledged services he is above authority and immune to eensure. That man is Dr Wiley, Chief Of the Bureau of Chem istry. He had been a leader in the campaign for pure foods in this coun- try. He has done a great work for the people Somewhat curiously, per haps, both Pinchot and Wiley have something to the cost oI living. Through pinchots alarmiLe statements regarding the limited sup ply of lumber, the price of lumber has been advanced, and Pinchoi teli3 us that 1t is not high enough y@l Through Wiley's pure food campaign the price of food Is alleged to nave been enhanced. He claims that we get better food than we did and for that reason the higher prices may. in part, be justified The same argu- ment does not hold in the price of lumber.
 pr. Wiley's offense is in refusing to acknowledge the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture. and espe- cial reference is made to the findings of the Remsen Referee Board on benzoate of soda. The Rcuscn Board, appointed by Roosevelt, says benzoate of soda is harmless. Dr. Wiley says it isn't Secretary Wilson says: 'Never mind Wiley; the Rem- sen Board is the real authority'' Then along comes President Taft and reyerses Wiley's decision on whis- key. Pretty soon the Remsen Board again.
 Californians Hopeful.
 That will be on the sulphur ques- tion. Dr. Wiley ruled that the use of sulphur in excess of a certain stated amount was injurious to health. if used in curing fruit In California all dried fruit is subjected to the fumes of sulphur. That has been .le practice for many years. Wiley's or der hit the fruit growers very hard also the wine men who fumigated bar rels with sulphur, and the sugar planters of Louisiana who use sul- phur in the process of making molas- ses. Nearly every person can remem- Der being obliged to take sulphur and treacle' as a spring medicine, so the dictum about sulphur sounds ri- alcrlous. Now comes one of the Ref cree Board, pr. Alonzo F. Taylor. the head of the pathological department Of the University of California an1 says that the poison squad" of four teen students to whom he fed s;i- blurred fruit for three months actual ly increased in general heath and weight. No wonder the Califarnians hope for a verdict against Wiley.
 No Buildings Bill.
 Congressman Bartholdt, Chairman of the Public Buildings Committee says there will probably be no build lngs bill this year. He says that for two years past bills carrying large sums have been passed and that they provided for about 300 public ould- ms or practically as many as all that had previously been constructed in the whole country The Architect Of the Treasury has doubled his force of draughtsmen, increasing it to about 200 men. and at that he lad about two years: work ahead of him in get ting out >plaDs fux hu1dfHes already
