HERE'S WHERE 1T WENT.

Here Is one reason Why the cost
OF living has advanced.
They have been eating too much in
New York. Fer that matter, they al
ways eat too much in New York.
II has seemed that the people OF
New York were fashioned different
IS from these in other parts OF the
United States because of their appar-
ent ability to care for an amount OF
food thar would suffocate an ordi-
nary mortal.
Here Is what has been disposed OF
in one-just oneof tie hotels of
that city during the last ten months:
More than 1000. 600 pounds of meat.
3oo,200 chickens. 100000 fish. 1872
0oo dozen eggs. and $4,000 quarts
CT milk. OF course. the people who
ate these things ate lot of other
stuff along with them, and yet we
wonder what has caused the scarcity
OF food
All this proyender was put out of
commission. il must be remembered,
in only one hotel in New York. and
there are More hotels in New York
than in any other city in the world.
Besides these hotels. there are in
Vulnerable restaurants. and in them
people are ail~the time eating all
sorts OF things.
Whatever may have happened in
other parts of the country il does not
seem that the people of New York
have been 'hoscot;ing food TO any
great extent. Ii they had there
would be more for the rest of us.
Il might not be bad idea to place
an embargo on food going to New
York. rather than ON the food going
to the war distressed countries Of
Europe vino really need IT, Besides.
Ii would save more food.--san An

This sensational and startling con-
fession on the part of one of our most
successful leaders of men was revela-
ton, and was just what was needed to
lend authority to what might otherwise
be considered an inexpert report. With
this as a foundation, we have made out
{. little summary of some of the more
strenuous efforts which go toward max

THERE is A DIFFERENCE Be
TWEEN A TIRED BUSINESS
MAN AND A BUSINESS
MAN WHO is TIRED.

But where, appealing to the Law OF
Cause and Effect, does the average busl-
ness man Of to-day earn the title
tired? Is he tired because he is over
worked, or because he is a business
man?
The only possible answer to this ques-
ton which occurs to any one who has
gone into the matter at all is that ne is
tired because he is business man, and
that any one but business man could
do the same amount of work in a couple
of hours and then feel in good form to
tackle something really hard, such as
the composition of poem.
In order to make this investigation
unbiased, a business man was inter-
viewed in his office. He had just come
in and was already somewhat tired, hav-
ing attended an entertainment for tired
business men the night before.
"Mr. w." said the newspaper repre-
sentative, what is there about your
DAVIS work that should tire you?'
Now Mr.. w. is a very successful busl-
ress man. He has the keen blue eye
1.-TWO, in facD and the square, clean cut
Jaw that identify the captain of Amer
lean industry. Furthermore, he has by
his desk a large plate glass window
looking out over the roofs of the neigh
borhood. such as masters of men always
look out at in the clothing advertise
ments. There could be no question but
that he was the typical business man.
With this exception he was perfectly
frank.
