EGGS PRICES
UP TO ADD TO
LIVING COST

Eggs have taken another big jump
in price and if the advance continues
the housewife will soon be paying as
much for them as for meat Fresh
country eggs showed a gain of from
2 to cents in the last day and the
retail price in some stores is from
40 to AZ cents per dozen. Storage
eggs command from 35 to 3S cents
per dozen.
Commission men give their whole
sale prices at 33 cents for fresh coun-
try eggs and 81 cents for the stor-
age eggs. They claim that the sup
ply is running very light and that
shippers have cut their supply almost
in half. The consumption demand
has not lessened with the supply and
this is the cause Of the advance in
price.

A LIVING TOWER

What is known as the Living
Tower" says a writer In the Octo-
Der Wide World Magazine, stands
on the very summit Of a hill more
than two hundred feet high at Camp
Meeker, a summer resort in Sonoma
County, California. 1t was Captain
Meeker, an old pioneer, who first
conceived the idea OF constructing
this remarkable tower. Captain
Meeker conceived the plan OF build
ing a tower on the very summit Of
a high hill near his hotel, and while
looking around one day for a suit
able site he found four young red
trees standing twelve feet apart, re-
presenting a perfect square. Then
the idea suddenly came to him to
build a living tower. The trees
were each about one hundred and mr.
Ity feet high. Fifty feet OF each top
was Topped off, and the work of build
ing six stories was then commenced
From top to bottom the Living Tow
err Is n hundred feet high. Each
floor is about twelve by twelve feet,
and rests on strong timbers, the ends
lof which are securely attached to
the four trees by means Of steel
Icable and bolts. So strongly was ev-
lery part braced that the whole struc-
lture does not move as much as one
would naturally suppose. even when
rocked by heavy winds. The tower
has been carefully examined by build
lers and engineers, and pronounced
perfectly safe. In the building care
was taken by the workmen to cut
only the branches growing on the
inside Of the square, and the trees
were not chopped, mutilated, or
weakened any more than could be
avoided. Leading up from each
story are broad stairways, SO that
one may ascend and descend with
ease and perfect safety, while around
1.-THE edge Of each floor are strong
ratings to prevent accidents. Since
this tower was completed, the trees
have grown and flourished just az
well as before. As time goes on. this
very unique lookout observatory will
become literally empowered in foil
age. This Living Tower Ii claimed
to be the only n Of its kind in the
world.

"A DANIEL OF COTTON GRADES.

Senator Smith Of South Carolina
announces the discovery that com
mercial usage in the matter Of cotton
grading Is all wrong. He asserts that
Department of Agriculture experts
will back him up in the statement
that as regards actual spinning value
no difference can be found. Spinning
Interests have grated upon the far
mer to the extent of several dollars
a bale by maintaining a purely ar
bitrary system of grades. Yellow,
stained or dark cotton Is not justly
subject to the treatment it has had.
1--WE have two great classes into
which our cotton falls says Sena-
tor Smith, 1.-The gulf and the upland.
In each of these there are nine
grades. AS far as the experiments
have gone they have proved that the
tensile strength of these different
grades does not vary one particle;
THAT so far as the y~arn-making power
tof the lowest grades il concerned,
1T is as good as the highest grade
of the same variety. / made further
Inquiry into the bleaching qualities
lof this cotton and | am assured that
1.-THE process that bleaches the whitest
and best is exactly the same process
that would bleach the blacklist and
lowest grades" He endeavored to
have Incorporated in the annual ap-
preparation bill for the Department
of Agriculture an additional $4,000
to be used in the purchase Of appli-
ances in order to confirm the tests
previously undertaken, but his col
leagues, niggardly and unfeeling for
the oppressed farmer, would not con-

We would not in the least detract
from any services which Senator
Smith has rendered the cotton grow
Ter nor grudge him his reward. But
liz, instead of harassing with leading
Questions government agricultural
empIoyes who probably know little
Tor nothing about cotton manufac-
lture, he had talked five minutes with
any cotton spinner or dealer, he
would never have perpetrated any
such absurdities as his ~utterances up
lon the subject OF grading are. He
would have missed the latest politi-
cal discovery Of a great conspiracy
against the farmer. but he would
mot have displayed ignorance OF some

WOEFUL CASE OF
A FOOD FADDIST.
Chicago Man Goes to Hospital as a
Result Of an Attempt to Live on
26 Cents a Week.

A man who has won considerable
publicity as a faddist in food theo-
ries was taken to a hospital the other
day in a serious condition as a result
of his method Of living.
The man had announced that &c
cents a week was enough for a person
to spend on food. He set out to prove
Ii by subsisting on limited rations
of oatmeal crackers. The doctors now
declare that he brought himself to
the verge OF death from starvation
by the mode OF living.
Other faddists in the east recently
claimed fasting a cure for all sorts
of diseases. They would substitute
fasting for the surgeons knife and
the operating table. Usually the fad
dist proved to be a man with a ITEM
permanent He also knew the art Of
the press agent. At the close Of a
lengthy interview to the newspapers
on how cancer or some equally ma
~lignant disease could be cured by
fasting, the man advertised a new
novel or play which he was just
finishing.
Once these faddists got into the
newspapers and advertised themsel-
yes thoroughly they suddenly drop
ped out of the public eye. Among
the nearest friends it was known that
they had returned to the o1~d-fashion-
ed idea of three square meals a day.
Advancing freak food theories may
serve the purpose Of gaining motor
liety and free advertising. But 1t of
fers neither cure for disease nor d
solution for the high cost OF living.
