UNIFORM PRICES SAVE MONEY
FOR WOMEN WHEN MARKETING
By MRS. JULIAN HEATH
Founder and National President of Housewives League

In order to buy efficiently it is essential
that the buyer should know what she is buy
ing. She must be able to order by name and
thus be certain that she is getting the quality
she wants at the price she is willing to pay.
Men buy cigars by name, they call for smoking
of getting the quality they want. Women
demand the same right to buy breakfast foods,
canned fruits, household utensils, hose, gloves
and the thousand and one articles bought and
used every day in the same intelligent manner
We don't want to ask for Oatmeal or

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-12-07

The rate of o33 of the last-named city "a not only three times IS great
as the general rate but contrasts uriousy with a rate of So for Auburn,
N. Y; a rate of 81 for Trenton n. J.; a rate of 4 for Augusta, Ca and
a rate of 81 for Hoboke, Mass. Why should the rate for turbulent
Bayonne be only 89 and the rat for the Boston suburb of Chelsea be
326?
These are among the inscrutab.e things. The lower rate Of suicide
in cities of less than $4,000 population perhaps has a bearing on the
more strenuous conditions of metropolitan life. Yet why is the rate for
Atlantic City, a pleasure city, double that for Manhattan? The male
suicide rate of 241 contrasts with the female rate of only IT, Most men
kill themselves between the ages of forty-hve and hftyfour, most women
between twenty-five and thity-four. What is the relation? Why is old
age, with the best part of life gone, less prone to suicide than middle age?
What is there in conditions of life Ito explain the fact that the suicide
rate is lowest and about equal in the eastern and southern states, where
it is 1854 and 179, respectively, and highest in the Pacific coast states,
where it is 343?
It is satisfying to learn that suicide grows n o worse. But as re-
spects n light it's general causesa and the conditions conducting to it,
the more it is studied the more battling it becomes

TWO GOOD APPOINTMENTS

Governor Boyle is to be complimented on the judgment displayed by
him lin selecting r. 3. Henrichs for warden of the state pententiary and
A. M. Smith for county commissioner of Washoe. 1t is .to be hoped, too,
that Mr.. Smith will find it possible to accept and o inter IN his duties
at once.
MI. Henrichs is just the man for the wardenship He has had long
experience a sheriff of Storey county and, in addition to this. he has
gained a knowledge Of county affairs a commissioner that will serve
him and Nevada lin good stead in his service to the Estate. He knows how
to handle men and has the confidence of all those with whom he has come
into contact.
The selection Of commissioner is of deeper interest, of course, to
Washoe county people because it comes closer home. A. M. Smith,
known w since his college days a. Long Tom,' is a successful mining
engineer, a graduate Of the School Of Mines OF the University of Nevada
and, just a. Governor Boyle said in naming him, has the engineering
training and experience that qualify him to meet any of the problems that
will confront Washoe in the work of scientific road building that is GER
tainly going to be undertaken in a very short time.
Although he is registered a a Democrat, Mr. Smith has " taken
a active part in party politics and few we're aware of his political opp
ions. This is o handicap to a county commissioner, however, for tf
there i a local office in which partsanship should not enter, it is that
involving the management of Washoe countys $7NONO public bust
ness
In selecting MI. Henrichs and MI. Smith, Governor Boyle has per-
formed a good service for the sate-Reno Gazette.

TIT MYSTERY OF SUICIDE

Statistics Of suicide in 100 cities of the United States in 1915, COM
piled by the Spectator, a insurance publication, are encouraging as show
ing that the ratio of self-murder has o reached a virtually stationary
condition. The rate for the year a 13 per 100000 of population, and
compares with a rate of 20 for the preceding iveyear period and with a
rate Of 207 for 1914.
The tbulation of the figures by localities and by months and sea
accentuates the mystery of suicide, as respects the discovery of any
law governing it. Why is June the favorhe month for suicide and Janu-
airy a month of fewest cases? Why were there moxe suicides in the west,
Goods country" than in the east; and why is the rate highest of all in
three cities of Cahfornia-San francisco, Sacramento and San Diego?
