TOO. HOT IN WINTER

The warm season is on. This does
net refer to winter resorts in Cali
fornia or Florida. 1t means the north
where people put on unnecessary
heavy clothing and live in hot, dry
rooms all through the winter.
The ventilation in offices, school
buildings. churches and private hous-
es is still in. very imperfect state of
development. 1t seems to be neces-
sary either to suffocate in room al
together too warm or to perish with
cold for the sake of a little poorly
distributed fresh air. The air in the
average house or public building is
too dry. And it's apt to lie in layers,
with too much heat around the head
while the feet are in cold air. Proper
ventilation that kept the air quietly
moving would do away with this evil.
A good many of us live and work
in rooms where the temperature is
over 0. 1t should be between 65 and
6S If health and real comfort are con-
sidered. There is more danger from
colds and greater general disability
in the oyer-heated room in the winter
than in the extreme heat of summer.
Headaches, drowsiness, colds, all
give us warning. Why not do some
thing to improve the conditions un-
der which we live and work? Right
now is the time to do it.

GOING UP IN SMOKE

Those to whom lady nicotine is a
jealous mistress demanding votive
offerings OF money and incense daily
will be panied at the latest item in
the high cost of living. 1t is an
nounced by leading cigar manufac-
turers and by the great tobacco cur
.ng houses of the United States that
an increase in the price of cigars is
only matter of days and that the
price of cigarettes, pipe tobacco and
that "solace of the cheek plug and
twist. chewing tobacco will soon avi-
ate also.
Already the length of the stogy has
been reduced to six inches and its
cent loaf, has also shrunk appreci-
ably. Here and there are to be found
able warmth that the shortage in the
alfalfa and hay crop may be detected
III tHe dioLud VI oOulC vi luS SHtdpSI
pipe mixtures.
One of the largest Philadelphia
manufacturers of five-cent cigars has
cut out the six-for-a-quarter conces-
sion and five-cent straight is the new
rule.
The reasons assigned for the in
creased cost are the shortage of labor
the heavily increased wage scale in
all departments of tobacco planting,
culture, curing and preparation for
the market, both in the United States
and in Cuba; the increase in the cost
of cigar boxes, both of wood and tin,
and the increased cost of all sorts of
labels, paper and printing.
To these increases must be added
the enormous volume of tobacco in all
its forms exported to Europe Vari-
Gus organizations connected with the
warning countr es are sending vast
quantities of cigarettes, cigars and
smoking tobacco to the trenches and
the prison camps of Europe. While
not strictly an increase in the cost of
living as We understand the term,
still to those who have come to re-
gard the weed as a nerve soother and
as a habit that cannot be broken, this
new charge is just as much tax as
the increased cost of potatoes, flour
and clothing Philadelphia Press.

THE ENEMY THEY FEAR

X"There is no gainsaying the fact
that the liquor men of the Country
have put UP a stubborn defense, and
have been liberal in the matter of
subscriptions of late years, vet we
have seen sucn commonwealth as
North Carolina. Georgia, Tennessee
Alabama, West Virginia, Arizona, Ar
kansas, Colorado, Oregon, Washing
ton. Idaho, Utah, Virginia, and South
Carolina, follow one another into the
camp of the Anti-Salcon League
while as to towns and counties, they
are too numerous to mention.
rs it any wonder that the Anti
Saloon League, feeding on such meat
as these victories, should grow bold
and make prediction as to when the
United States will surrender?"-

A VOTE THAT BROUGHT TROUBLE

The fact that such a large propor-
tion of the voters of the State ignored
the proposit on on the ballot for the
authorization of a $7000,000 State
roads bond issue indicates an indiffer-
ence largely based on ignorance of
what was contained in the PROPOSE
ton. Practically no enlightenment
was to be had from the wording on
the ballot and what publicity had
been given to the Egan law was large
ly the propaganda of those pecuniarly
interested in its adoption. There was
organized effort by material men, au-.
tomobilists, and others, for indorse-
ment of the Egan law and no organ
lied opposition. The State Chamber
of Commerce, it is true, at the last
minute questioned the advisability of
accepting the act, but this was too
late to have much effect on public
opinion.
The State now finds itself in a per-
picking situation, the validity of the
act as well as its practicability being
questioned, and litigation inevitable,
which may tie up the States funds,
heretofore available for distribution
to the counties for road construction
and repair.
1t looks as if the Legislature would
be called upon to patch up the Egan
act or devise simpler and more
workable plan of control of the high
ways. Camden Post-Telegram.
