Causes for "1igh Cost Of Living"

Editor of Palladium:
l have your letter of the 31st ult. adj
vising me that The Palladium is max
ing an investigation of the High Cost
of Living" with the possibility of find
ing some sort of a remedy that might
relieve the condition existing in Rich
mond at the present time.
If the present High Cost of Liv-
ing" was confined to Richmond, or to
this community, or to this county, or
even to this state, the cause might be
ascertained and the condition posi-
bly, relieved. 1t is, however, wide
spread and is almost, or quite, world
wide and, in consequence, the cause,
as well as the effect, is worldwide.
1t has been said that the real trou-
BILE is the Cost of High Living" and
whether true or not, it is undoubtedly
true that the opportunities for spend
ing money are much greater today
than in years past and. consequently,
the desires of the masses are greater.
To seek a remedy is to seek the
cause. 1t can not be justly laid to the
door of the tariff or it would not be
so worldwide but would be confined
largely to the United States and other
protected countries. If the tariff had
been recently changed so as to in
crease the duties on the necessities of
life then we might consider that as
the possible cause, but the present
tariff is not higher than when the ne
cessities were at much lower prices.
In my judgment the population of
the country has increased more rapid
ly than has been the increase in the
production of food products. Locally,
we might assist by making it easier
for the producer to reach the con-
sumer; yet this very producer can
market his product in wholesale way
SO much more satisfactorily than in a
retail way that / doubt his willing
ness to change. His time is valuable
and with the decrease in the supply
of farm labor, the producer is COM
PEELED to give his time to the develop
ment and cultivation of his crops
rather than to marketing them.
Statistics will show, I think, that
the population of the townships in In
diana that do not contain any large
towns or cities is less today than
twenty or even thirty years ago.
Therefore, the reduced supply of farm
labor.
The conditions in Richmond might

extending and improving market
house facilities. We can not safely
go back to the old-time methods of
purchasing direct from the producer,
cutting out entirely the middleman,
without causing an upheaval which l
believe is unwise.
Yours truly,

At the Murray.

polly Pickles Pets in Petland," the
feature of the bill at the Murray thea
ter. is about as neatly presented and
dainty a musical fantasy as one will
see on any vaudeville stage. 1t is
really condensation of big musical
comedy with the superlative lines eli
minated saving nothing but the It'd
bits which are passed out to the au-
dience in rapid succession and in a
most tempting manner.
1t is staged like a musical comedy,
by the eight people, five very pretty
girls and three men. Mostly the girls
sing and dance but the male members
show as an elephant, dog, cat and a
parrot. Their animal representations
are decidedly clever and win rounds Of
applause.
Dorothy Hawthorne. late of the
Wizard of Or" company fulfilled all
all the promises that had been made
for her. She is delightful, petite
comedian and in a most captivating
manner sang several catchy songs. as
sisted by the girl chorus. Especially
effective was her Jack OLantern''
song when through the air, on the
darkened stage swung a score or more
grinning faces of Jack.
The rest of the show consisting of
the Vennersons. comedy bar act, the
Versatile Four in "A Quartet Rehear-
sal and Herbert Camp, are more than
up to the high standard set forth by
the MANAGEMENT.

McFARLAND'S
SECRET FOR FATIGUE

We are not all pugilists and so cam
not remain in the pink of condition all
the time by exercise. But even as great
a pugilst as Packey Mcfarland be-
comes exhausted once in a while, and
his method of restoring this nervous
energy is not by hardening his muscle
but by using the very same method
which thousands of men and women
are using today.
Packey's secret is really no secret at
all. Here it is. in his own words:
while training / at times become IA
tigued and find splendid use for Make
Man Tablets, as I found them. from
personal use, the best tonic 1 have ever
used"
Any man or woman who will try
Make-M Man Tablets for building up the
nerves and purifying the blood (and
we all need it at least once in a while)
win find them the most effective tonic
ever offered the public. They enrich
the blood cells. infuse the starving
"zigzag'' nerves with the natural
strength they need. For Nervousness.

Ono Use Of the Eel.

It is difficult to exhaust the uses of
the eel. Experts in top whipping pro-
nounce a dried eel skin an admirable
lash. and tops are by no means the
only victims thereof. There is that
affecting passage in Mr.. Pepys' diary:
"April "a. 1868. Up betimes. and with
my salt eel went down in the parlor
and there get my boy and did beat
him till 1 was fain to take breath two
or three times. Yet for all I am
afeared it will make the boy never
the better. he is grown so hardened
in his tricks. which l am sorry for,
he being capable of making a brave
man and is boy that l and my wife
love very WELL" salt eer' appears
to have been a nautical term for a
ropes end. and it is not certain that
Pepys' instrument Of castigation was
actual eels' skin. But the original
salt eel" laid its mark. - London

ed as ship, and in Buddhism thee
same symbol has been used since the
days of its founder. Since Buddhism
spread and took root among the large
masses of the Buddhist church &C.
cented this innovation by claiming to
be large vessel or Mahayana, in con-
trast to the Hinayana, the small YES
sci or little boat of the older church.
The Buddhist canon is full Of refer
ences to what is called the ocean of
lime and death, symbolizing Samsara,
abe world of Mars, the evil one, the
deity of death.
Nirvana Is the safe shore, or the
island on the other side of the water.
Buddha passes over the ocean of life
and death and walks on 1t as one
would walk over flagstones, while his
disciples who are firm in the faith
will be able to follow him over the
stream dry shod. The same story is
told of Jesus and Peter in the Chris
tian gospels.
Again for the same reason birds of
passage. especially cranes and wild
geese. have become symbols Of trans
migration and of Immortality. We
find them pictured in the frescoes of
the Buddhist caves in India and they
are frequently alluded to in the folk
lore of Thibet, China and Japan, but
they are less used as religious en-
blems in the West.

OUTLOOK FOR Y. N.

Little Interest Prevails Here
Among Women, Sec'y
of Y. M. G.. A. Finds. .

Chances for Richmond's having a
Y. W. c. A. in the near future are not
especially promising, according to the
belief of Mr.. Weed. the secretary of
the local Y. NJ. c. A. The question
of securing a branch of the young wo-
mems organization to offset the advan-
tages which the men are getting from
the Y NJ. c. A. has been agitated a
number of times mere. and seems to be
always in dispute. Many think that
the girls and women of Richmond
should have the privileges of such an
institution, while others believe that
there is not sufficient need for it to
warrant the undertaking.
There are several large factories
here which employ women. Some OF
the young women in these places have
no good homes, and have very little
to interest them after the work of the
day is finished. u
Mr. Weed says that the greatest
need for Y w. c. A. here. however,
is not for the working girls. but for
the SfIIS ludl COILS lFOM supposedly
good families. He says that the op-
portunities for physical exercise. such
as in gymnasium or swimming pool,
would be great help to many Rich
mond girls. He further asserts that
the moral influence and the general
social life of Y. w. c. A. would be
big assets for the city.
This subject has often been raised
by small bodies OF people from time
to time, but no general action has ev-
er been resorted to. The women's
clubs of the city have touched on the
matter, and numerous individuals have
offered to do their share toward ac-
quiring the institution. Recently an
offer to donate the use of building
for Y. w. C. A. was made but there
was not enough interest among the
women of the town as a whole, to &C
cept this offer
Mr.. Weed says that it is impracti-
cable to follow the plan that has often
been suggested of giving the women
the use of the gymnasium and swim
ming tank for certain hours at the Y.
M. C. A.. He states that the purpose
of his institution is simply to serve
the men of Richmond, and that some
one would be sure to complain II they
deviated from this:

A Trait Of Twisted Trees.

year 1850. after fierce battle with
the Abyssinians, the dervishes pur-
sued their foes as far as the lake dis

knowledge Of geography and little to-

route for those who came after and
also to guide the force on their return
journey, twisted the saplings along the

Wild Parrots Are Eiohters.

Parrots when in their native wilds
live in fiocks and guard themselves by
a complete police system which en-
ables them to marshal their collective
force quickly when any animal or bird
attacks one Of their number. They
seem to be disciplined and trained in
fighting together. and all other birds
and animals are afraid to attack a
parrot unless the bird can be caught
alone Even then a shrill call sum-
mons the parrot army to the rescue
It Is said that in the forests all par
rots die of old age and that none is
ever killed by birds Of prey or other
wild animals.

A Syrian Peasant Superstition.

A lawsuit for libel brought by an
apothecary in Pollau. in Syria. against
young peasant reveals an extraordi-
nary superstition prevalent among the
country people. They believe that
apothecaries and doctors have the
right to kill at least one man and one
woman every year in order to make
medicines out Of their bodies. An ac-
cidentsl movement Of the apothecary
at Pollau. Herr Kobermauser. when
giving medicine to a boy named Putt
led the latter to believe he was going
to be killed. He ran away. but got
such a fright that he fell i'll. The in
habitants believed his story and boy
cotted the apothecary. who was at
length compelled to prosecute. Putt
was sentenced to fourteen days i'm
prisonment. but his parents. who had
spread the story, were acquitted on
the ground that they had acted In
good faith.-London Standard.

Bertram Mott to cast about to secure
larger polling booths and ballot boxes.
Mr.. Mott has secured sample of a

Attempt to Blow Open the Safe
a Failure But Stamps Taken.

Thieves broke into the Morris Plains
post-office last night and attempted
to blow open the safe. They dis
charged one blast but it was fail
ure and evidently they were fright
ened away before they could try
again.
The post-office is located in d. M.
Merchants store. 1t is in a corner,
partitioned off from the store and
has separate entrance from Speed
we'll avenue, though rear door opens
into the store.
The thieves gained entrance to Mer.
chants store by means of a rear
cellar window. A locked cellar door
barred their way into the store but
this was forced open. The key was
in the lock of the rear door Of the
post-office and they had no trouble
entering.
The safe crevices were carefully
filled with soap and a hole about a
half-inch in diameter was drilled near
the combination. The latter had been
knocked off, evidently with hammer
found on top of the safe. The powder
used to attempt the opening of the
strong box was evidently not strong
enough for the discharge only blew
the soap about the room.

AN AERIAL FIRE.
Lineman Fights Blaze Atop Electric
Light Pole.


A thousand people watched Line
man George Paynter fight a fire on
the top of an electric light pole on
Water street Saturday night. The
pole bears the cables of the Morris
e Somerset Electric Co. and is at the
entrance of the Park place conduit
system. A lightning arrester on the
pole became grounded and fire re-
suited. All the street lamps were ex-
tinguished. Superintendent William
b. Hambright, with linemen, hustled
to the scene. Paynter, armed with a
hand fire extinguisher, climbed the
pole and after a hard fight extin-
guished the flames. After making re-
pairs the street lamp circuit was again
turned on.
Superintendent Hambright left his
automobile standing on Water street
Hill with the brakes set. In some
unknown way the brakes were re-
leased and the auto dashed down the
hill through the crowd. No one was
struck by the flying car but it col
lided with telephone pole and was
damaged.
