WHEEDLING THE CONSUMER.

Comes now the shoe man with his defense and
apology for charging more for footwear. Were he
content with claiming that leather is more expensive
because hides are scarcer-backed up as he is by a
formidable array of figures from the United States
census showing that the supply of cattle has not kept
pace with the population--we would be inclined to
knuckle under. But when he says that the constant
change in styles is responsible for large part of the
increased cost of shoes and that the ultimate con-
sumer is responsible for these changes we are pre-
pared to take issue.
If there is any one thing a does not wish
to change, it is the style of his shoe. He becomes
accustomed to certain last and certain shape toe
and if the shoe merchant would let him alone he
would go on wearing it until Kingdom Come. But
what actually happens is that he is bombarded with
new fashions in shoes He finds that the shoe he
buys today cannot be worn tomorrow because it has
a broad toe where the style calls for narrow one.
Or he wears box and discovers that the box is out
of date If his shoe laces, he must change to get
one that buttons.
To say that the shoe wearer is chargeable with
hckeness is absurd 1t is much nearer the truth to
say that in order to make a market for shoes and
knowing that there are many people who will not
shoe that is not in style, lasts and shapes are
altered to make people buy whether they need shoes
or not. Enough of us are slaves to fashion to make
the practice pay, but not so foolish as not to
know who is responsible for the fashion plate.

Globe Trotter on Way
Home to See Mother

Bound for his home in Adams, Mass.
to greet his aged mother who is ninety
two years old, Edward Carlow, globe
Totter and rover, left Washington to-
day on an unscheduled train from the
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad near
Benning.
After forty-three years of work in the
New England cotton mills, Carlow
started out a year ago, at the age of
fifty-two, to see the world. He had but
little money to start on. and since that
time he has made his way through all
of the large countries of Europe, Asia,
Africa, and the two Americas.
Carlow Is satisfied with his sight
seeing tour of the world, and expects to
resume work in the cotton mills when
he gets home in the next three or four
days. During all his travels he has
not spent any of his money for trans
portation.
He has been riding the trucks and
the blindbaggage on the railroads, and
working his way on steamers.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.

The report of the football rules committee gives
evidence that next fall lovers of this sport will
real game, from which very many of the present in
congruities will have been eliminated.
The increasing of the number of downs will give
opportunity for much more variety of play; the al
lowing of the forward pass over the goal line will
serve to lessen that stonewall defense which has
made it impossible for teams nearly evenly matched
to score.
If only these two changes had been made, the
committee would have contributed much toward the
progress and interest of football But the committee
came within one of reform which will eventually
come, and which will add materially to the virtues of
the game. This is the ruling which cuts down the
number of men allowed on the side lines from three
to one. IF they had eliminated that one, and made
the team and the captain dependent upon themselves
the minute the game began they would have added
to the sportsmanshp and honesty of the greatest of
college sports.

HOW BAD FOOD KILLS BABIES.

There were II ,499 deaths of infants under one
year of age in 1870 an increase of more than 800
over the previous year Out of every thousand mot
ten thousand) born, l34 died in 1910, while in the
year 1909 out of every thousand born l27 died. This
is an alarming statement and shows the necessity Of
immediate legislative action.
The figures for cholera infantum, which give a
rough index of deaths from impure foods, including
milk, are even more alarming. From this cause
there were 3744 deaths of infants under year Of
age in l9lO an increase over 1909 of 900. The rate
per 10000 increased from to ll.2 per cent. This
is larger rate than we have had for many years.
1t should be noted that the increase in deaths from
cholera infantum accounts for the total increase in
infant mortality.

THE STATE AND DIVORCE.

The proposition embodied in bill now before
the Rhode Island Legislature to make the State a
party to divorce suits is attracting attention 1t is
maintained that it would not involve much additional
expense; it would end the wretched collusion which
makes so much of the divorce practice hideous, and
it would help clear up the whole question to a con-
siderable degree.
The act is especially effective in its provision
where it requires that wherever statutory ofense is
alleged and proved as a cause for divorce it shall
at once be made the subject of criminal proceedings
This is logical, at least
