HIGH PRICE OF
THE RED METAL
NOT ALL VELVET

That the high price of copper, of
which one hears so much talk in
these days is being largely offset by
the increased cost of supplies is a
fact not generally appreciated. That
supplies, and especially those articles
used in the mining industry have
scared tremendously is shown by a
recent compilation by the San Fran
cisco Chronicles financial depart
ment, which is generally accepted as
one of the most complete and authentic
publications in the country. The
Chronicles, financial expert prepared
a summary of the cost of commodit-
les used in the mining industry.
showing the prices as they stood
August 1, 1914. at the outbreak of the
war, and as they stood on April 1,
1916.
The list shows advances in price
ranging from 100 to over 500 per
cent or far out Of proportion to the
Increased price of copper. High speed
drills, one Of the most essential tools
used in mining, have increased in
price 275 per cent while high speed
tool steel has gone up 4S9 per cent
Machinery Scars
Following the outbreak of the war,
steel and iron machinery and equip
ment scared to unheard of prices.
Even wiping rags have gone up 55.5
per cent. while steel quotations have
increased from 100 to 500 per cent.
Structural steel was selling April
for just twice what it cost in August,
1914, while tank steel has increased
just 102k per cent. High speed tool
STEEL as before stated, has suffered
an advance OF 4S9 per cent. Machine
bolts have increased IS per cent in
price, while tin plate. and soldering
metal have gone up 54 and 81 per
cent respectively. Twist drills. carb
have increased 48 per cent in price,
and even common wire nails are
1876 per cent higher. $780,.
Mercury has gone up 285 per cent
Soda bicarbonate has increased 1876
per cent in price, while caustic soda
has gone up 2121s per cent since the
outbreak of the war.
Lumber and timber, one of the big
items in mining, have gone up COR
respondingly. Common redwood lum-
Der now costs 33 per cent more than
it did in 1914, while pine lumber
shows an increase of from % to At
per cent.
Powder Way Up
Powder another big item in mining
operations, was one of the first COM
modities to feel the effect of the war,
and has been steadily increasing in
cost, along with other explosives The
enormous amount Of explosives used
on the battlefields of Europe has
caused general increase in the price
CT all explosive materials. even with
scores Of big munition plants doing
all they can to supply the demand.
Powder, 80 per cent stick shows an
increase of 1876 per cent increases in
the past 20 months, while 40 per cent
stick has gone up 1924 per cent in
the same period.
Comparison Of the prices now
quoted on practically all supplies
used in the mining industry with
what they were at the outbreak of
the war certainly shows that the
high price of copper is not "all velvet"
by any means. and that the price Of
the red metal Is being attended by a
corresponding increase if not much
greater in many cases.

HOSp'S nome run IN the last half
of the ninth inning beat McMurdos
Smelterites Sunday at Ray, and the
margin. 1t was a pretty pitchers
battle all the way, between Delhi
and Hughes, with the 'sglove and
prayer pitcher apologies to Bob Glib
son, having all the best of this
twirlers argument. For eight in
nings those smoky city ball tossers
and heard no prayers. for one lousy
hit by Boeckel in the third was the
only one CLEANED in the eight frames.
Then in the ninth two doubles by
Pierce and Bender, scored one run,
tieing the score and making 1t look
like no supper for the fans, but
Hosp. don't believe in deadlocks, es-
pecially in ball games.
Harry Hughes wasn't going bad all
the time. by the way, five bingles
widely separated was all he dished
out. and the circuit smash in the
ninth was the only earned run.
A stolen base sandwiched with two
errors gave the Miners their first
run in the SEVENTH
After Mitchell and Downey had been
put away. Hosp got life on Boeckeps
error and stole second. Hester hit to
buddy who threw wild to first and
Hosp busted the plate.
Boeckel grabbed a hot one from the
bat Of Mitchell in the eighth that
forced Beaumiller at second.
Demaggio had the crowd on their
feet in the ninth. Flick sent one to
right field that the wind carried close
to the foul line Nick stepped on
the clutch and took it on high. After
a great run he grabbed the ball off
the boards as Flick rounded second
Il was ticketed three bases. The old
ninth frame jinx that has lost many
a hard game tried for the toe hold
in the visitors half. buddy had ex-
pired by the Downey, Hester route
and Demaggio had robbed Flick in
right. Pierce hit to center 1t should
have been a single but, bad bound
and it was two bases. Bender hit
to left and again the bad bound
turned single to double. Pierce scored
tieing the score. The jinx was work
ing but so was the glove and

Casey of the Smokey boys fooled

AspoTATo WRINKLE

The housewife who presides over a
modest flat was consigning lot of
old potatoes to the ash box when a
visitor, with a mild remonstrance,
bade her desiSt, says. the London
Daily Chronicle Then she told her
Of q plan devised by q British gar
dener, by which these old tubers can
be made to do good service. She made
the housewife pick out saIl those hav-
ing a moderately sound appearance,
the fact that they were wrinEled did
not matter Then she was told to
place them on the shelf of, some quite
dark place, a cupboard or cellar,
and just leave them alone. The pota-
toes were not to touch one another.

about them for two OF three months.

what has happened. All the old

HOW 70 DANISH WORRY

How is a man or woman to control
his or her thinking so that disturbing
thoughts may be prevented from inter
fering with the power to work, to eat,
to sleep, to carry on the ordinary af-
fairs of life?
1t is question not readily answered
unless one knows the questioner For
every person has individual peculiari-
ties which have to be reckoned with
in the gaining OF mental control.
Still there are some general rules of
virtually universal helpfulness Their
observance will always go far to es-
tablish the desired self-mastery of the
mind. And the first Of these rules is
to keep your body in as healthy con-
dition as you possibly can.
Often disordered physique is re-
sponsible for bad mental habits (says
a writer on health topics). Nor need
the disorder be either serious or ex-
tensive in order to cause marked
weakening of mental control. The vic
tim of slight local troubles, such as
tooth decay or unsuspected eye-strain,
is all too likely to find his power of
concentration decreasing, while at the
same time he shows an increasing ten
dency to irritability and worry
So is the man or woman who Is care
less about exercising, bathing, eating
at regular hours and in proper amount,
and getting plenty of fresh air in liv.
ing rooms and sleeping quarters. In
short, always remember that anything
which affects the body adversely is
bound to have more or less adverse eff.
feet on the mind. IL. 49,,
As n second aid in the gaining Of
mental control and the banishing of
disturbing thoughts, shift the center
of interest from yourself to external
things. WORKERS are abnormally self
conferred. What they need above all
else is to become self-forgetful
This may be achieved IN various
ways. One is oy eultiyating greater
interest in ones work. Another by
taking up a congenial hobby. Substi.
tute an ideal of altruism for the dead
ening impulse Of egotism.
When disturbing thoughts do come,
neutralize them by taking stock of re-
cent happenings that have been favor.
able or otherwise pleasing to you. This
win have the effect both of diverting
your attention from the subject that
disturbs you, and also it will serve to
convince You that there is plenty OF
good in life as well as evil.
This system of taking mental stock
is device for the cultivation Of optim-
ism, of a hopeful, buoyant. cheerful
frame of mind. And optimism, let me
say emphatically, is absolutely indis-
pensable to everyone who would real
ly gain mental control

THE NATURE OF HEALTH

Health, or haleness, or Wilderness,
for all these terms have one deriva-
ton, and to large extent, one mean
ing, should be considered as some
thing much more than the mere
absence of disease. Living as we do
amid conditions utterly unlike those
which obtained in the earlier history
of our race, when our inherent nature
was being built up, real health is,
not unnaturally, a far from general
possession. In a perfect or ideal
state of health not merely should
there be an absence of pain and of
consciousness OF Indifferent working
of any part Of the body, but there
should be also general feeling Of
physical exhilaration, of well-being,
which is an essential condition of per-
feet happiness To attain such a state
is worth good deal of effort, good
deal of prudence, and a good deal of
abstinence.
The steps needed to be taken are
as unlike those of the ordinary
coddler or of the ordinary hypo-
chondriac, eternally thinking about
his health and the numerous diseases
Of which he fancies that he recognizes
the earliest symptoms, as it is posi-
Bile to be. Not the avoidance of every
possible hardship, of every varying
condition of temperature, and of every
drop of rain, is the method, but the
careful hardening and strengthening
of the body so that on exposure to
those conditions it is able to adapt
itself accordingly
What, then, are the general rules
which should be followed if we aim
at health? In the first place we
should normally avoid excess of every
kind, though even moderation, which
should be our daily practice, may well
be modified occasionally In food,
in drink, in sleeping, and in exercise,
in mental work as in physical work,
this moderation should normally be
applied. But as we live in a world
where conditions vary immensely, it
is essential that the body should be
trained to bear occasional excess with
out undue strain.
In order to bring about this adapta.
bility it is necessary that we take
steps to expose the body to great
variations of temperature, that we
train ourselves to do occasional work
of great severity or OF great rapidity,
that we accustom our digestive organs
To deal on occasion with foods other
than those which normally We con-
slider desirable. 1t is doubtful if per.
feet health is possible unless we live
the greater part of our time in the
open air. 1t is therefore usually
easier for country people to attain
health than it is for town people. Yet
they by no means always do So 1t is
probable, indeed, that in spite of his
more favorable environment in many
ways, the countryman who does not
happen to be engaged in farm work
lives quite as sedentary and stuffy
life as any townsman. The open. win
dow, for example, is more generally
found in the town than in the country
And a stuffy bedroom, in the midst of
pure air, is far more harmful than a
well-ventilated bedroom even in the
heart of city.

Mosr or THE Ills Of the foot are
due to insufficient bathing. The
rest are from badly-shaped shoes.
Wouldn't we all be nervous wrecks
II we had to go about barefoot, or
IL Fashion declared that barefoot
sandals should be the only proper
footwear? t. 81 --..5..
Pointed-toed shoes are responsible
for corns in this generation, and de-
formed feet in the next. They should
never be worn. II you want your
feet to be beautiful, you should ex.
anime your type of foot carefully,
and wear only shoes to go with that
type. Most women with long feet
and short toes are trying to wear
the fashionable long yamp shoes, the
result being bunions. They should
wear only short yamps. Women
whose second toe is longer than the
great toe are forcing themselves into
pointed-toed shoes, thereby crushing
the long toe under the first one, max
ing corn on it, and eventually max
ing it useless member of the foot.
They should wear round-toed shoes.
And so it goes. Marrow shoes will
not harm the foot so much, IL only
they allow space for each toe
Now for bathing-the feet should
be bathed and rubbed hard every
day. Salt baths are especially good,
nothing can excel them IL you are
tired from work. A hot salt bath or
q salt soak" Of fifteen minutes will
relieve many q headache and ward

II You are troubled with perspiring

beneficial. Pouring a little pow.

also help relieve Precipitation. Tai
cum powder is almost as good. Rub
Der heels are good investments, they
do break the jar of walking on hard
pavements and keep the feet from
firing.

Women who arc web often ask care

In answer we say that never have we

Never, knowingly, have we published

The reason that thousands OF women
