PRICES WILL REACH
ALARMING SCALE

| The cost of living this winter will
reach an unprecedented scale and will
effect every person no matter what
| object may be purchased, according
to table of comparative prices COM
piled in Chicago, Wednesday. Mer-
| chants and producers are virtually
increases in prices which already have
unanimous in forecast of further
increases in prices which already have
advanced alarmingly within last year.
| Food prices it is said vary accord
ing to quality and quantity but it is
| the small purchaser at retail who
must pay most Wholesalers say can
neries throughout the country have
informed them that fall and winter
deliveries will be only one-third nor
NAL while the last vegetable crop is
said to be only half the quantity ex-
pected.
Canned fruits will be 80 per cent
higher an canned vegetables are ex-
pected by Wholesalers to increase 20
per cent in price.
Paper baks in which the housewife
carries home her market purchases
have increased in cost from o5 cents
in wholesale lots of $l.55. This ad-
| vance is typical of all paper products.
| Cotton goods have advanced be-
tween rs and IS per cent. Woolens
have kept pace with cottons. The best
lines of wonien's shoes for fall and
winter will cost twice as much as the
same articles last year, dealers say.
| Even collars, that two-for-a quarter
staple which men have known for
generations, will be a thing of the
| past. Collars now have been advanced
| to IS cents each, and the laundries
| which have for years laundered col
Glars for two and half cents, have
announced that three cents each will
| be future cost.

| 1t is natural for us to resent keenly
injustice or hurt, and it was natural
for primitive man to show that resent
inents with his fists, but civilized man
| has learned better. When our neigh
Dor does us an injury, we show dig
nihed resentment by henceforth,
completely ignoring him, or if the of
tense is serious enough, we go through
! a process of law.
What do we wish for our. boys,
cilivilization or brutality. A good
wrestling match under proper con-
ditions, perhaps, may be beneficial to
the boy and since our boys seem to
love that sort of sport, would recon-
mend it, but with certain times and
places fixed as its limitations.
Our boys do not wrestle, however.
they daily torment and tease each
other, fight with sticks and stones,
.ear each others clothes, throw hats on
| houses or in the bitches, and in one
way and another keep up perpetual
warfare when playing on the road to
| and from school, and when gathered
together on the outside 1t is a very
| demoralizing affair, makes the boy
rough and rude, nuisances, at school,
at home and everywhere. Can we
change this' A parent, individually
is helpless, the group spirit is so
strong that an active child joins
right in any movement just to be do
ing something.
A teacher alone, is more than help
less she ably does her part in Great
ing an uplifting moral atmosphere
The one great difficulty is the vast
between the road to and from
school,
| There is only one way to reach
this and that is by the united efforts
of every parent and teacher. When
| some one attainment Is upper
most on our minds, it often happens,
that we find passages in our readings,
that otherwise might pass unnoticed,
or we perceive in some every day
happening some impetus that sets up
children's live viii of,cn give us
us wonderful examples to illustrate
the principle we have in view. The
children's lives. will often give us
incentives. Even that worst of them
at times are kind, brave or heroic.
Take that moment to praise the child
and to emphasize the act.
Let us teach from real life or from
stories, the idea of fighting for prin-
ciple, and condemn the fist fight for
fun.
Let us teach by suggestion. When
the child does mean or cowardly
thing, suggest to him what he might
| have done
| Let us strive to create love for
| the right let us dwell more on than
inner feeling of pleasure that is natur-
es' reward for good deed--instill
in the child that the ideal life is the one
who does his duty just for the reward
of that inner feeling of pleasure. Let
us teach him that he has duties,-to
his parents, his teachers, and his
elders.
Lastly, let us teach them, that the
world is full of happiness and that
