Chicago, Nov. 14.-hgesses 1.
the cost OF food products are likely
to be the subject of an investigation
by the Federal Trade Commission.
Edward N. Hurley, ehafrssn of the
commission, said here today that the
subject would be considsred at
meeting OF the commissions m Wash
ington Friday.
THE high cost OF the secessitics
of life is the most importsst problem
before the American people today"
he said. II believe II is within the
providence OF the Trade Commission
to investigate. and think it more
than likely that we will bold meet
ings to determine the reason for the
present high costs, and apply o rem
edy IL remedy can be found"
Mr., Hurley declared present coal
prices were suicidal, and he charged
coal operators with wastefuIness. or

HARTFORD HE-HAw CLUB
SPREADS GORGEOUS PARTY

Because of some kind of an cleo
ton or something a gorgeous party
was spread in Hartford Friday night
by those who believe the log cabin
is only good for hen house, the dom
key supreme among animals and the
rooster cock OF the walk.
Guests began to arrive early and
at the appointed hour the Shot Gun
quartet, accompanied by COW bell
and fog horn artists, belched forth
the opening number. The Anvil
Chorus then came in for its part of
the program and the guests were so
immensely pleased that repeated en-
chorus resulted. This led to bit of
jealousy on the part of the Shot Gun
quartet and its accompaniment, so
they decided to go serenading in
hopes of getting into higher socie-
ty.
Several homes of the upper class
were visited. Very neatly arranged
programs were rendered in front of
each. A special feature was put
on for local newspaper man and
HE Kept Us Out of War;. was sung
by Master j. c. Casebier, directly I'M
der the window. The also voice of
the would-be-singer sounded very
sweet in the early hours of the morn
ing. Each note meant tear to the
poor scribe and relief came only
when the voice was drowned out by
the Shot Gun Quartet on the chorus.
lie was deeply affected and did not
return to sunderland until the sere-
naders had gone fully fifty feet on
their return journey.
Digging Spuds," by the Po-
tato Bug quartet was another feature
rendAed at the home of prominent
citizen.
After making the rounds the Shot
Gun quartet and its followers rejoin-
ed the Anvil Chorus which had con-
tinued without intermission. A
grand concert followed. "A Hell-uv-
a-Racket," by gosh. being the COM
mon selection.
The parting was sad one for II
will in all probability be years and
years before another such party can
be pulled OF, so seldom do such oc-
casions come to these particular mer-
ry-makers. The a. m. rooster pro-
nounced the benediction, while far
away voice rising from the stables
OF Black & Birkhead added an
"amen" that rung, and rung, and
echoed, and died away.

PrOdigal Returned.

One morning the BLACK Maria"
arrived at the Police Court to take
to Jail the prisoners who had been
arrested the previous night, says Tit
Bits. AS they filed into the van the
policemen were much amused TO hear
an old woman. who was the last Of
the string, shout out to young pris-
oner in front;
"Now. then. come out OF that;
you've got my corner!"
Needless TO say, the old lady OBJ
tanned her accustomed seat. Then.
as the door was closed to and the
policeman stepped up behind, she put
her face TO the bars and said to him
in delightfully."- dulcet tones:

ELECTION Echoes"

Ed Barrass says that it's tough
enough to have the living day lights
licked out of one in an election, but
to be kept awake all night by the
victorious Rat f ers is more than
a plenty.
Ranse Martin says as good Bap-
list he's not much on back-sliding,
but to win the victory and retire to
ones peaceful couch at midnight
with the insignia of triumph, the
Star Bedecked Crown resting snug
ly upon your placid and contented
brow, only to awaken onver morning
and find the other fellow, the enemy,
wearing the jeweled sky piece on his
own dome is enough to jolt ones
faith in the never skid proposition.

"a Fable"

Once upon time, away back in the
year 16, the people of the country
had a very, very mild eleotion for
President, nearly all of the people
were so kind and considerable of each
others feelings they really hated to
vote against the candidate of the 9TH
er fellows. After the election was
almost decided the side which about
won out absolutely refused to make
any noise or say or do any thing
whatever in the presence of, or even
within hearing of those who lost, for
fear of wounding their feelings, this
of course was due to that fine and
gentle feeling generated by the re-
membrance of the universally of the
brotherhood of man, and to that
great command, Love thy neighbor
as thy self"
"Nor-PoliticaI."

Life of a Baoy Gorilla.

There is a baby gorilla in certain
geological garden which has become
the pet of all the keepers there. HIS
favorite pastime is playing with chill
dren, of whom he is very fond, and
whom he never hurts, however rough
ly they handle him. The gorilla Is
very methodical. He wakes up about
eight o'clock in the morning and asks,
in gorilla language, for glass of milk.
Then he capers about for while, and
at nine has bath, in which he de-
lights. For his breakfast he eats
bread and butter, sausages and fruit.
He carefully picks the stones out OF
cherries and is very particular about
selecting good fruit. Dinner is eaten
at one o'clock, and this meal always
excites the keenest interest in Mr..
Gorilla. A cup of beef tea is the first
course; then stew of rice, vegetables
and meat. The gorilla has been taught
to feed himself with spoon, but when
he thinks nobody is watching him, he
uses his fingers. After dinner he takes
a nap for an hour and half. When
he wakes he romps for time, and
eats light supper of bread and butter
and tea. At $50 he goes to bed, roll
ing himself up in a blanket and sleep
ing on a mattress like child. His
keepers are very fond of him.

Something in Your Eye?

When you get something in your
eye do the best you can to suppress
the instinct to rub the eye. Then pull
the lower lid up and the upper lid out
and the particle in the eye will be dis
lodged by the tears which flow across
the eyeball in torrent; they will be
washed out and will appear in the cor
ner OF the eye, If any chemical is
thrown into the eye, do not wait to
look in a book for an antidote; the
best thing is plain water; or if you
have time and it is handy, use plain
salt solution, teaspoonful in pint
of water, either hot or cold. This will
wash it out quicker than you can wait
to neutralize it in some other way
