MRS. JULIAN HEATH.

Mrs. Julian Heath. national presi
dent of the Housewives league. said
not long ago: II blame the high price
of food conditions primarily on wom
en--those who never know the price OF
anything before it is bought or pre-
pared and those who do not know good
food from bad. or course there may
be some other sociological and ecOno.
mic aspects. We have all paid the
we want conditions to change. and
generally what the women Of the ma
ton really want they get"
This very frank statement by Mrs
Heath has proved itself prophetic in
the face Of the recent announcement
that the government at Washington is
engaged in the preliminary work Of a
nationwide investigation Of the causes
Of the cost of high living and remedies
for the problem.
The problem. as the administration
is considering it. is embraced in these
two divisions:
First.-How to provide the average
farmer with the ready means to in
crease the production of his land.
Second.-How to lift for all the peo-
pie. and particularly the masses In
the great centers Of population. the
burden Of the steadily increasing cost
Of food. 1t is to the ISOLATION Of these
two questions that the administration
in both the executive and legislative
branches is turning It's attention.
Within the past few weeks the pub
lie has been told that this winter city
dwellers will be compelled to pay IS
cents per dozen for fresh eggs and that
eventually fresh meat. beef in particu-
lar. will command retail price as
high as 81 pound. Indeed, the trend
is toward decided jump in all food
commodities. This. administration Of
ficials say. emphasizes the great ur-
gency Of governmental action. The
work has progressed to the point where
the legislative branch will be asked to
lend Its support and pursue the work
along definite lines with important and
farreaching legislation at the winter
session Of congress.
Women in all walks Of life will
watch this investigation on the part
of the president with great interest.
involving. as it does, their daily ex-
pense budget.

ALSATlAN MOUNTAINS.

IN the blue Alsatian mountains
Dweit a maiden young and fair.
Like the careless flowing foun-
L. tains
Were the ripples Of her hair.
Were the ripples of her hair;
Angel mild her eyes so winning.
Angel bright her happy smile.
When beneath the fountains spinning
You could hear her song the while,
AIDE, AIDE, AIDE.
Such songs will pass away.
Though the blue Alsatian mountains
Seem to watch and wait Away.
BY the blue Alsatian mountains
Came q stranger in the spring.
And he linger'd by the fountains
Just to hear the maiden sing.
Just to hear the maiden sing;
Just to whisper in the moonlight
Words the sweetest she had known:
Just to charm away the hours
Till her heart was all his own.
AIDE. AIDE. AIDE,
Such dreams may pass away.
But the blue Alsatian mountains
Seem to watch and wait Away.
BY the blue Alsatian mountains
Many springtimes bloomd and pass'd.
And the maiden by the fountains
Saw she'd lost her hopes at last,
Shed lost her hopes at last.
And she wither'd like a fiow'r
That Is waiting for the rain
She will never see the stranger
Where the fountains fall again.
AIDE. AIDE, AIDE,
The years have passed away,
But the blue Alsatian mountains
Ever watch and wait Away.
AIDE. AIDE, AIDE.
