Abide with me, o Lord,
And be my constant guest;
Then every frugal meal

Abide with me, till death
Shall change my faith to light;
For death is but the path
That leads to light.

HIGH PRICES ARE WORLD WIDE

Those philosophers ana politicians
who know exactly what has caused
the increase in the cost of living and
attribute it to the tariff, the trusts
the railroads, the greed of the middle
men and a dozen other things, have
been insisting that the situation was
peculiar to America alone. And now
comes William T. Curtis. the greatest
newspaper correspondent and keenest
observer of facts that this age has
produced. in a letter from Vienna
which upsets all these theories.
Among other things he says:
Residents OF Europe as well as
travellers complain bitterly OF the in.
crease in the cost of living. 1t is
quite as marked and even more EN-.
baTTassing TO people of moderate
means than iu the United States.

sion would very probably sit with the
members Of the board of regents of

meeting, which is to be held on July
IA.
Among the places visited by the
members Of the commission were st.
Louis, Peoria, ILL.,, Chicago, Buffalo.
New York city and several towns In
New England. No statement vas
made by DR.. Babcock as to what con-
clusions had been reached by the
commission. The result of the work
will be discussed at the meeting
which is to be called in July. Muck
data was secured by the members of
the party.
Several institutions were inspected
In New York and Massachusetts,. IL
was found by the commission that all
asylums inspected were congested
and that the buildings could not be
erected fast enough to accommodate
all patients. This was especially 50
with the st. Louis Asylum. A build
Ing was erected at a cost of $4,000
to accommodate sixty patients. When
the building was completed there
were one hundred patients to be re.
ceived.

South Carolina Commission Obtained
Much Valuable Information.

Columbia, June 26.-Dr. Babcock
said today that over 40 offers had
been made for sites. These Offers
Will be considered at the next meeting
or the Asylum commission.
BY appointment, the members Of
the commission were to meet DR..
Wilson in St Louis, on June 10. DR..
Wilson was in st. Louis attending the
annual meeting Of the American
Medical Association. He is first vice
president Of the Association. DR.. Will
son was met by DR.. Babcock and
Judge Purdy.
The first asylum to be inspected
was the st. Louis Sanitarium. The
place was thoroughly inspected.
There were 74S patients. The grounds
covered 80 acres. The asylum was
constructed to accommodate only
$50 patientA They found a very
much overcrowded condition. A
night ride brought tho party to Peo-
ria, Ill. Here they met DR.. George
A. zeller. the authority on pellagra,
who attended the conference in Co.
lumbta last winter. He has a large
number Of pellasra patients at his
hospital. The Peoria Asylum has g.
107 patients. There are 500 acres
In the grounds
The next day the members OF the
commission arrived In Chicago. The
Cook County Asylum was inspected.
There were 3,165 patients there. The
capacity Of this asylum IL only 1000.
There we're 22s acres Of land in the
grounds. Another asylum to be in
spected in Illinois was the State in
stitution at Kankakee. Here were
found 2.s1s patients. The capacity
was 1900.
After trip OF over ten days, which
carried them to more than a score Of
States, sleeping on the cars at night
and inspecting hospitals for the in
sane during the day. three members
OF the commission. appointed to take
| charge Of the enlargement Of the
South Carolina Hospital for the In
sane, have returned to the State. The
members Of the commission to take
the trip were: DR.. J. w. Babcock, SUI
perintendent OF the State Hospital for
the Insane; DR.. Robert Wilson, Jr.,
| chairman Of the State Board Of
Health. Charleston and Judge Robt.
o. Purdy, Of Sumter. The other two
members Of the commission, Col. Le-
Roy Springs, Of Lancaster, and DR..
George B. Cromer. OF Newberry, were
unable to take the trip, on account
Of business reasons. The trip was
made for the purpose Of making in
spect!ons Of the asylums Of the Mid
die West and East before announcing
plan for the improvement Of condi-
tions at the South Carolina Hospital
for the Insane.

tain litigation that Is imperative, cit
ing the Southern merger uit and the
case against the Virginia, Carolina
Chemical Company, and that he has
allowed men under indictment for
graft to go untried for such a length
Of time.
As to extravaganza, Mr.. Evans
quotes from the Acts Of the General
Assembly the amounts appropriated
for the use Of the Attorney General
which have been expended in hiring
lawyers to do the work that Mr.. Lyon
himself should have done. MI Evans
criticises the Attorney General for
paying such exorbitant fees to the
lawyers who have assisted him in the
dispensary cases, naming Nessrs Alb
ney, Stevenson and Felder.
Unfaithfulness to his trust 10 charg-
cd In that the Attorney General has
allowed certain persons indicted for
graft to go free upon turning States
evidence. Mr.. Evans says that such
compromising with crime a. the mol
pressing Of the case against Notion A.
Goodman was a betrayal Of trust
likewise the Farnum case: that such
actions we're an insult to the great
State of SOYth Carolir.
Features Of Campaign.
Without doubt the fight on the
whiskey question and the fight against
Attorney General Lyon arc the inter-
esting features Of the campaign. What
else Of importance and interest will
develop remains to be seen; 1t Is not
apparent at this time.
Some Fine Oratory.
The people who listen to the cam
paigners this year are hearing better
oratorical efforts than In any cam,
paign in South Carolina In many a
day. Five Of the candidates for Gov
ernor make excellent speeches, each
having a pleasing delivery. Comment
on this fact has been very general,
the people declaring that all the
speakers are interesting. Indeed. the
fact that the crowds have been so
easily held during the four hours that
have been required for most of the
meetings argues the excellence of the
speeches and the quality OF the ora
tory.
Mr.. Mcleod may be likened to the
polished orator Of today. say possibly
Henry Cabot Lodge. His style il

rapidity and musical intonations; no

HIGH COST or LIVING BRINGS
FORTH SOME VALUABLE IN
FORMATION ABOUT FOODS
FORM u. s. GOVERNMENT.

The recent widespread discussion of
the high cost Of living has aroused
great interest i'm all phases of domes-
tic science, and has greatly increased
the demand for the publications Of the
department of agriculture on all sub
jects relating to food and nutrition.
The department has recently issued
a set of fifteen charts on the compost
ton of food materials: these charts
are printed from photo autographs in
six colors, and show in the case OF
each material the protein, fat, car
bonhydrate, ash, and water contents
and the fuel value expressed in caIor-
les. The percentage composition and
fuel value are given in figures and
the relative proposition OF each con-
stituent is represented geographically.
For example, in the case of whole
milk glass of milk is shown: 81 per
cent Of the figure is colored green to
represent the water content, 3,3 per
cent red TO represent the protein
per cent yellow to represent the fat,
S per cent blue to represent the car
bohydrate, ash and water contents
represent the ash content. The fuel
value of $40 calories per pound is
represented by printing in solid black
nearly one-third Of square one inch
on each edge, since one square inch
represents 1000 calories. The figures
given for the percentage composition
of the various materials are average
figures based upon as many analyses
as are available in each case.
The food materials shown in these
charts are as follows: /, whole milk
skim milk, buttermilk, and cream; Q
whole egg, egg (white and yolk),
cream cheese, cottage cheese; 3, lamb
chop, pork chop, smoked ham. beef
steak, and dried beef; 4, cod clean
fish, salt cod. oyster, smoked herring,
and mackerel (fat fish); 5, olive oil,
