creased only 2215 per cent. He also
pointed out that, although the work
man might now pay more for bread,
meat, etc, it was not only the price of
these articles that was higher, but
that their quality was considerably
enhanced. Herr Delbruck also quoted
Herr Adolf Wagner, who has said: mo
other people now permits itself more
luxuries of all kinds in all classes from
the highest to the lowest, from the
workman to the capitalist"
TT is thus futile" concluded DR.. Del
bruck, "to advance general theoretic
considerations against an economic
policy that has so greatly advanced
and benefited the German nation He
added that it would always be the en-

Any one can learn to sing. according to
Heber Coleman the well known voice eN-
pert in the Majestic Theater building.
The author of a well known work on
singing a lecturer Of note ON vocal topics,
the originator Of "The Heber Coleman sys-
TEN of scientific voice culture" Mr. Cole
man occupies commanding position in the
vocal world Of today.
He does not claim to offer a new method
Of singing. His system is simply based
upon his own practical demonstrations Of
the fundamental principles of voice produc-
ton, the most important being control of
voice by action of the breathing muscles
His many successful pupils throughout
the country in opera concert and vaudeville
attest the efficiency of his method.
He has had a wide and varied eTpe-
rience in opera ora torio and concert work

quantity per head require by the pop
uatiOn.
EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES DECLINE
He also pointed out the unwisdom
of relying on other countries for meat,
and stated that the export of cattle
and meat by the United states, for
example, which in 1900 was 1915 of
the total exports of that country, had
sunk by 1909 to So per cent.
With referenc to the general agrar-
ian policy of the German empire, DIR.
Dclbruck stated that the price of rye
was higher from 1851 to 1856 than 1t
has been in any year since the in
PRODUCTION of protective tariffs, and
that the case of wheat was similar.
He declared that the price of meat
had risen mainly under the influence
of the Improvement in the manner of
living, and pointed out that protec-
tion was accorded not only to agri-
culture but also to industry. Was 1t
right, he added, to deduce from the
fact that during the last thirty years
the cost of production had increased
that therefore the economic policy
of the empire was wrong?
Herr Delbruck contended that results
were the only mear3 of proving wheth-
er a policy was right or wrong; and
continued: "Can IT be said that a
country has pursued wrong economic
policy when it's national wealth has
increased during the last ten years by
81, 500, 900, 900, when it's population has
increased in the same period by about
SSO,0O0 annually, and when its popula-
tion, Notwithstanding that enormous
growth, has found remunerative work
to such a degree that emigration has
almost ceased?
SAYS WORKERS ARE AIDED
ut is also untrue that only certain
classes have benefited by this state of
affairs, and l would remind you that
this tariff and economic policy have
enabled us to eXpend $100,000,000 up to
the year 1907 in improving the social
and political condition of our working
classes, several millions of which came
directly out of the pocket of the en-
pire."
The secretary of state also cited the
well known social economist, Richard
Calwer, who has calculated that in the
period from 1896 to 1910 wages have in
creased 3712 per cent. while the cost of
living of the working class has in

NEVER OUT

In the ancient Forum in
Rome are ruin of the celebrated
Temple Of Vesta, the Goddess
Of Fire, worshipped by the Ro.
mans in olden times.
In those days, 1000 years
before the discovery of the lu-
offer match, the care of fire was
with great ceremony, k ep t
burning in the Temple of Vesta
and it was never out,
1t has taken these 1000
years to produce a fire insur-
ance company whose world
wide business is SO large that
the fires for which it is paying
are NEVER OUT.
Nineteen nine was simply
an average year but, because
of lis vast business, the Royal
Insurance Company, Limited,
incurred losses at the rate of
one every 8 minutes and 80 sec
onds the whole year round.
This means that before one
fire is put out new one starts
somewhere else in property in
sured in the Royal. In other
words,
The Royals Fires IRE Never Out
In 1909 the Royal" issued
1886 new fire policies and re-
novels every working day.
Our business h Ell p d to
make that record.
We want to beat the re-
cord this year and should much
appreciate a line fri ON you.
THIS AGENCY REPRE-
SENTS THE ROYAL" 1t
is the Leading Fire Company
of the World, and we have al
ways found that it gives it's
policy holders a square deal.
