eee'ed. he thinks. in reducing the
saving of souls to businesslile
basis. He has gone so far as to
make an estimate of the cost OF
soul-living in various cities. In Mr.

souls come highest at $500 eacl.
New York City souls are quoted
at s545. while in Boston they can Re
obtained for $3.50. Other quotations
are Denver 1926. Chicago 1895 and
New Orleans $7S.
So far as Mr.. Sunday has made
investigations. souls came CHEAPEST

ed for $75 a head-if souls have

aroused much justification and con-
siderable adverse criticism. At

so cheap and Indianapolis people be-

installed and operated by greedy or

been run for a few Years and then
allowed to lapse i,to well-earned

creditable to a civilized state. There
is really no need for continuance
cf the offensive and wasteful meth
DDS that have been commonly en-
ployed in this country, says The
Journal of the American Medical
Association.
At least two methods of garbage
disposal have proved effective in
typical American cities: incarceration
and reduction. In the inciGeratlng
type all kinds IF refuse. ashes pap
err. raes, scraps of food, kitchen
waste. etc.. are fed together into
cremations and burned. In European
works of this type the heat general
ed by the combustion with forced
draft is a source of considerable
revenue. One of the best examples
of an incinerator plant IN this
country is the Milwaukee inc;nera-
tor. which has been in full operation
since May, 1910. At the old Mil
waukee plant the cost of disposal
reached as high as s131 per ton of
garbage. while the cost at the new
plant is less than 60 cents per ton
IF the excess supply of steam gen.
Grated at the plant is economically
utalized the actual cost will .be furth
