COST IF LIVIHG \ MENACE
GENERAL UNREST CAUSED BY HIGH PRICES, SAYS EXPERT.
International Commission to Devise Succor Is Suggested to Con-
 ference of Charities.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 22.-"Wages do not rise automatically with prices of foodstuffs; incomes have not ad- justed themselves to the present enor- nous cost of living and the work of years is threatened by conditions now confronting the people of the United States,' declared John A. Kingsbury to the state conference of charities and correction here.
 MT. Kingsbury, who is general agent of the New York Association for I'm proving the Condition of the Poor, made it plain that he believed the gen. eral unrest everywhere was due to the soaring of the price of foodstuffs and that unless a remedy soon is obtained disaster must come.
 The hope of attaining a minimum standard of living for families now in the care of private charitable organ Izations becomes mor6 and more re- mote as the tyranny of prices grows more and more intense, and the cost of many necessities of life becomes prohibitive," MT. Kingsbury declared. Tn spite of persistent protests from press and platform, prices of food stuffs continue to soar In a single year the cost of the sheer necessities of life have increased 25 per cent Rents nave undergone a similar in- crease.
 'The old theory that wages rise automatically with prices has failed. Averages secured by the New York port in any one month, according to announcement at the custom house.

GRANDFATHER TO
BECOME STUDENT

DURANT. Okla, May 30-J. c..
Farrer, carpenter. 81 years old. is
going 10 Nashville to enter Wander
bilt University for q three-year
course.
Farrer was the son of "Hardshell"
Baptist parents and was born and
reared In Williamson county Ten
nessee. the center of Southern Meth
odist educational circles. He early
manifested an inclination toward the
Methodist faith. and when q church
was organized at Edwards Grove
near his country home, by Rev. r. r.
Jones early in the summer Of 1873, he
became a member.
The Methodists created a fund Of
S4O0 for the education OF young Far
rer at Vanderbilt University. their
expectation evidently being that ne
would enter the ministry after leav-
ing the school, IL was to be a ono
year course In theology. Up to that
time Farrer's educational advan-
tages had been limited and he hes
itated to avail himself OF the oppor-
tunity offered for a colleeg education
because OF his unpreparedness.
The chairman of the committee and
the trustee Of the funds raised for
Farrer's benefit was Dave" Corlett
farmer who also was one of the
most liberal subscribers to the fund.
Inc money was deposited in a bank

Time passed on. months grew TO
years, and still the young man delay

creasing through interest Repeated
ly Corlett and other members OF the
little Tennessee church besought
young Farrer to enter the school ac-
cording to their wishes. Nor did they
give up hope when two years later
he married and commenced life as a
farmer.
When, after another two years,
Farrers wife died he departed for the
unsettled southwest. Corlett and his
wife frequently importuned him to re-
turn to Tennessee.
This interest continued even after
Farrer left Fort Worth and went tc
North Texas, married again and begai
10 rear a family.
Farrer later crossed into Tndiar
Territory and for many years resid
ed In this section, working alternately
az the bench and In the field. He cam,
TO Durant from Madill. Okla.
For some time Farrer had heard bu
little from his friends in Tennessee
but a few months ago a letter from
stranger at the county seat OF VIII
Hanson county announced that Cor
lett had died and that the writer ha,
been appointed administrator OF IN,

may be made a very pleasant bit Of

First there should be generous sup
ply Of towels, and 1t will be found best
never to use a dish towel more than
once without laundering.
There should be more than one kind
of wiping cloths used, according to
the nature of the dishes. Soft glass
toweling should be used for the glass
and linen crash for the other pieces.
For washing more variety Is reQuir-
ed. There should be mop for use
on deep articles. soft cloth for 6ne
ware, heavy one for ordinary dishes
and wire dishcloth for iron ware or
cooking utensils.
or course there should be a plentiful
supply of hot water, good soap, am

and the other for rinsing. with wire

For the washing fill the pan half

Wipe the glasses without letting
them drain. rs draining is apt to make

with ordinary washing.

When the dishes have been washed
