DOLLARS VALUE LOWER.

New York, Jan. 25.-The cost of liv-
ing has gone down instead of up, ac-
cording to the arguments tonight be-
fore the Traffic Club by Prof. JOS.
French Johnson, of the University of
New York.
Meat said the professor, "fs
cheaper than it was ten years ago,
considering the decrease in the value
of dollar. The more gold you have
the less given amount it will buy.
The decrease in the value of a dollar
has not yet caught mp with the basis
of conditions.
"A pound of porterhouse steak cost
twenty cents in 1900, and today il
costs twenty-five. The increase in
the cost of meat is only twenty-five
per cent, whereas If it kept up the
proper ratio to the value of a dollar
which is forty cents cheaper than ten
years ago, that increase would also
be forty per cent.

"other interests" have a lobby at work
headed by q former United States
senator" in support OF Tne bill re-
terred to above, under whose pro
visions, he declares, the government
would extend an unconditional guar
antee to the railroads which these in
|terests purpose to build and virtually
donate them the tracts which they Sc.
lect.
Ballaine states that the one five
thousand acre tract ne applies for
would yield more than 100,C00,000
tons giving the government $50,000,-
900 in royalty.
He asks as condition that nc
other coal land in Alaska be leased
for a less royalty, AMI that at least
half of the governments supply OF
coal be obtained from this company
or from the naval coaling reserve in
the Matanuska district, shipping the
product to Seward Peninsula by rail
road at rates fixed by the interstate
commerce commission.
This railroad he proposes to run
from Seward through the interior val
leys to more strategic points on the
navigable rivers. Balaine stipulates
that so much as Is needed for the pay
ment of the royalty must constitute
fund for guaranteeing the payment
of interest on the railroad companies

referred to is working in the Interest

lconiunction with an American group

World and His Wife, at the Fargo
operahouse in the near future. In all
cities where this great play has been
presented 1t has been recognized as
being one of the most powerful
dramas of modern times. Mr.. Fav-
ershams production of the play, and
the acting of it by his fine company,
have given ample demonstration Of his
high abilities as stage director. The
New York critics, like those of other
cities, have accepted this great play
at its true worth, and SO fine was the
acting of it that most of the reviewers
announced that Mr.. Faversham had,
as Actor Davies said in The New York
Sun, brought the old prestige back
to Days" Mr.. Daily and his company
set high mark for any company to
reach, and that Mr. Faversham was
able to satisfy the clientele of this
famous old playhouse is ample proof
that he had realized his fondest ex-
pectations. After the first night in
New York, Victor Maurel, the famous
baritone of the Metropolitan opera
house, congratulated Mr.. Faversham
in having equalled the best efforts OF
the Coincide Franchise. Mary Garden
was equally warm in her congratular
/ tions.

Clyde Fitch that he could not write
a mans play. The City is his answer.
With list of fifty odd plays and
adaptations to his credit this truly
genuine American playwright turned
new page when he penned the STIR
ring, blood and-bone story of the little
family of Middleburg, N. Y, which,
upon the death of the venerable head
yielded to the call of the city. Had
The City been produced a century ago,
it would now be regarded as one of
the classic tragedies of the stage. But
it is more generously offered as
modern drama.
So frequently are the New York
critics quoted that the frequent repl-
tition must raise the question of
doubt as to the authenticity of the
quoted excerpts. In the case of The
CITY it is only necessary to refer to
the new accounts of the demonstration
which followed the fall of the curtain
upon the tragic scene of the second
act, when the play was first produced
at the Lyric. Not for eighteen years
had New York witnessed such an, ova-
ton Women tainted, men shrieked--
the audience rose with one accord to
cheer the masterful conception of the
dead author and the wonderful act
ing OF the company. 1t seems but sim
pie Justice to the late Clyde Fitch to
record these facts.
The story is simple. The chief
actors in this human drama are the
members of the family of George
Rand, banker of Middleburgh. N,
Y, they being father, mother and
three children, George, Teresa and
Cfcely. The banker is the father of an
ilegmate child, George Hammock, who
knowing that he has something" on
the financier, bleeds him upon vari-
GUS occasions. The first scene shows
the library of the Rand family IN
Middlerburgh, the act eliminating IN
the discovery of the son, George
Rand, jr., that Hammock is the illegiti-
mate child of his father. The revela-
ton kills the banker. The natural
son thereupon decides to remove to
New York. thus listening to the cal
Of the city. Believing 1t is for the
best interests OF his fathers memory
he engages Hammock as his private

There is nothing particularly elevating

ADVICE FoR MOTHER.

The attention of mothers should be
called to the risk of overcaution to
their children after they are old
enough to play and romp about. A
child is happier with few and sim
pie playthings than a multitude of
complicated toys.
There is no such good fun or good
training as making oneself useful In
doing little things like work, and 1t Is
cruelty to deprive the child Of this
pleasure and stimulus. Let the brain
and body be trained through hand, foot
and eye. Give the boys a carpenters
bench. Encourage the girls to do
homework
Where possible let both boy and girl
have a little garden patch, If only a
few feet square, and the care of a few
plants A woman in her home, a man
in his garden--this~ seems to be fun
damental type from which we cannot
depart without risk of body and mind.
Cheerfulness, sincerity, industry, per-
severance and unselfishness may be
acquired by practice and constant
repetition as much as the art of correct
speaking or playing the plano and are
far more necessary to health,

If VOW Are Nervous
Get Away From
People a Little
While Each Day

THE nervous woman is usually the
very one who knows least how to
take care of herself. She needs above
all things, rest and quiet and these
are the very things she Is oftenest
starving for.
The nervous woman may not be able
to sleep in the daytime. It Is the best
thing in the world for her, by the way,
to take a midday nap, but she should
at least rest absolutely for an hour in
the midst Of each day.
She should insist that the children
be kept quiet for that one hour, dis
connect the telephone IL necessary and
forbid any one to come to her on any
pretext.
Then, taking off her corsets and
loosening her hair, she should lie down
with an agreeable book, one that VIII
not make her think too much, and be
as lazy as she knows how to be.
After awhile she will be able to lie
there without any book at all and think
of green fields and cool waters or OF
any peaceful scene she has visited in
the past. Nervous people suffer from
talking and seeing too many people.
| They need to have absolute solitude
for at least part of the day. If they
cannot have it they will become i'll
| sooner or later and in the meantime
their capacity for work and quickness
! will be Iessened materially. Because
their brains are perpetually tired and
| confused with noise and hustle they
will drag through life instead Of &C
complishing things, as they would II
| they knew how to take care of them
selves.
No nervous woman should have q
dog around her. His continual prowl-
ings and prancings, not to speak of his
barkings, get on her nerves more thar
she imagines, even II she is fond Of
the animal.
She should wear and have around
| her colors that are soothing to the eye
and the brain. Last and not least, she
should live in the country IL possible
or, If not there, in quiet part Of th'
city. To be born nervous is distinc
ailment, and the wise woman shoulS
understand herself and know how tt
treat this defect.

Carlisle and Feed.

New York Evening Post: One day

the third floor of the Federal building
and turned in at the room of the clerk

Just as he did so tall heavy man
started to come out and the two
bumped. AS they rebounded they
looked at each other and stopped short
with surprised EXPLANATIONS.
"How are YOU. Tom" said the
smaller man.
"Howd'y do. john" said the big
man.

followed my example" returned the
first speaker. "All Of us country law

rejoinder, You'll come out all right
