High Cost of Good Living.
(New York sum-


 Vixen the high cost of living is un- der debate it will be well to remem- Der that it is in part the cost of good living The people, or public officials on tfRir behalf, are insisting on high food standards and naturally higher prices are the result.
 A eport of the health department of thS city published yesterday shows that l3,OOO,OO0 pounds of unwhole- some food was confiscated and de- stroyM during 1913. No one will dispute the propriety of the health office1S' action. Bad food ought not to be sold in New York. But it may as wdl be understood that the peo- pie plid for these 13,000,000 pounds just the same.
 The shippers or purveyors from whom the seizures were made, and who were the losers in the first in- stancd we may be sure were not out in thu long run. The value of the destroged material was simply spread out thin over the better food that was sold; the consumers paid the price and the dealers balance sheets were hone the worse on Decem Der 31.
 Onelconsolation remains to the pub lie. 1t did not buy doctors and un- dertakers' bills along with it's fruit, milk and meat.

Church Census in New York.
 (New York Tribune.)

The results of census of church. goers taken on Sunday in Manhattan caused alarm yesterday at the week. .ly meeting of ministers and elders of the Presbyterian churche A count of men, women and children at all services showed that church atten- dance in that denomination had fallen off more than 10 per cent. In the last decade. @
 Records show that membership in Manhattan churches in which the count was taken had increased 2,1OO in the last ten years. Despite this the attendance had fallen off 1,500. The mum Der of men at services shows an even worse. condition. It,. h;As fallen from 32.6 per cent. to 23.6 per cent 43 > t.s s Ten years ago there were f1fty-two places of worship open. Today there are forty two inf the borough and thirty nine of them were visited when the count was made. There were 1S,24S persons present at all services, of whom 6,059 were men. Ten years ago 2,O29 children were at morning services On Sunday there were only 855.
 The city exempts from taxation $1 14,
 OOO,0OO of property used by the gpeo- pie counted on Sunday. It remits, therefore, nearly $250,0O0 in taxes. The people counted, give $1.3bO,0OO a year, not all expended in maintaining New York churches. If there were added fair interest return upon in- vestment and the whole averaged on the recent count the result would show that it costs each person $4.50 to sit an hour in pew in a Pres byterian church in Manhattan. The average gift person is "a bout $2. Hence the churches are run at loss of $2.60 g person.
