Mrs. Joseph E. Coleman, one Of.

a wonderful costume, that looked
as though it were all made Of

shimmered with them, and she
carried a feather fan set in an

state Of staleness and OF providing foods which
should be properly aged in an immature state
must be checked
Commenting on DR.. Wfley's statements the
Augusta Chronicle wisely observes that: Food
is not the only item in the high cost OF living.
We are better clothed better schooed, better
amused. better travelled. better housed-and so
on through the list.
Some politicians will ascribe TO federal legis-
lation the cause of the present high cost Of
living great deal OF this may be expected
during the next year, when the congressional
elections on, and when the Republicans will
begin their attack on the Underwood tariff bill.
Many Democrats in public life have fallen into
the error of indicating that by federal legisla-
ton the cost of living can be. or would be,
iessened
"The price Of living is higher because we are
living higher, Whether we are happier or more
satisfied or more profited or more advanced be
cause OF our manner of living than those who
lived before us. is another question"

WHERE HE GETS IT.

Where does President Wilson get HIS con
adence that the senate will pass the currency
bill at this session."
That is the question being asked by the Wash.
ington star and others who do not wish the cur
rency bill 10 pass at this session or at any other
time, These do not believe 1t will pass now, be-
cause these do not wish It to pass now. The
thought has been sired by the wish Hope has
been substituted for belief, though thinly dis
guised
Where does Wilson get his confidence?
He gets 1t from the knowledge of success.
He gets 1t from knowledge Of the fact that he
dominates congress. He gets 1t from knowledge
Of the fact that the country is with him and
that the country now. and not the special In
terests represented by currency bill opponents
elects the United States senate just as it elects
the house Of representatives.
Wilson had confidence that the tariff bill
would be passed by the senate. though neither
the star nor others who think like II believed
It would be passed, The senate will pass the
currency bill for the same reason that 1t passed
the tariff bill That it to say because Wilson
wants 1t passed and the people are back OF vii
son In other words the senate will pass tins
bill because those who object dare not show
their objections BY their vote and because
great part of the senate is now made UP Of
those In sympathy with Wilson and the voters
of the country
That's where Mr.. Wilson gets his confidence

THE COST OF LIVING.

According to Or Harvey ". Wiley. in his
address On the Cost OF Living" at the recent
Chicago Industrial Congress, In Chicago, our
food costs more because we partake of better
food: "Your table Is better supplied than was
your fathers table. and your children's table
will be better supplied than IS your table. There
never was time" says Dr. Wiley, when man
was 80 well fed as now"
He adds. I'VE do not have to look far to find
The causes of the increased cost of food
First, people are eating better foods than
ever before, and second. the purchasing medium
namely gold, is relatively far more abundant
than ever before hence the quality Of food 1t VIII
purchase is decidedly less The great staples
the cereals. however, are not as expensive at the
present time as during the past
"For days labor. man can buy more
wheat than he could twenty-five or fifty years
ago II is the part Of scientific nutrition as well
as social economy TO increase the quantity Of
cereals in our foods and to diminish those nu-
trients which are OF less necessity and OF in
creasingly higher price.
