PROVING A SELF EVIDENT FACT


faddst is so happy as when he can get in the
lmelight and achieve notorety no matter how short
lived it may be- Just now some dietetlcal taddlSts nave
managed to gather class of nane persons who are be-
inp experimental to show that person can live COM
fortaby and well forty cents day. The class has been
trying the experiment but two days but the newspapers
are already suffering from over abundance OF language
on their stomachs so to speak, from it. The gath
erers are working overtime and the otherwise decent
telegraph wires insulted with menus, conditions OF

work and 'fll 'em up again" with the left overs
What makes the whole affair Supremely ridiculous
is that hundreds of thousands of families here in America
where the living supposed to be far superior to that OF
any other country manage to live comtortaoy Iof muc
less than 40 cents day for each member OF them ana
have done so time immemora and will continue to 90 so
indefinitely c
The average workman here in Oregon gets wage Of
about two dollars day. With family OF four which IS
hardly the average and far less than many fames nave
the cost of living at the faiss allowance OF 40 cents
day would amount to SLIGO a day OF Tor seven days
SLIGO This remember is for the first cost OF the food

made if he worked steadily $12 and after paying for the
pay house rent fuel lights and water and to supply the
clothing for the family If not day was lost in the year
the family would have $460 for all their wants above
food 49,
1t will be seen from this that Oregon families get
along all right and do not go hungry that they must live
on far less than 40 cents worth of food day. In fact not
long ago young fellows keeping bachelors hall at the
university here reported that they living on less

demonstrating that person live on 15 cents day
more than that person spending at the time for his
srstenance And the wires are carrying the glad news
across the continent that this startling fact is So Uncle
Sam who feeds some thousands could tell them all about
the cost of living without making any fresh experiments
and it would be found that the 40 cent limit plenty large
enough for anyone and that the average man cannot eat
the quantity of food that can be bought for that sum- it
is properly selected.

PROGRESSIVE PIETY

The old time birthstone preacher, when
once he waded in, said every human
creature was loaded down with sin. Be-
meath his towering steeple, in bitter, scath-
ing terms, he roasted all the people, and
said we were but worms. This poor old
earth we numbered, according to his rede,
and when our days were numbered, we'd
have some grief, indeed The hymns that
we were singing were of the same grim
style, such lines as this one springing:
