THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER

Ever notice that it is the ultimate
consumer who always gets the "hoi
end of the poker?"
It's fact.
The remark Is prompted from
watching the ice man. See him star,
out with a 1o0-pound block Of ice un-
Der n blazing sun. That block is cs-
timated to cut ten blocks OF no
pounds each or not depends on TIE
time and distance the ice man must
travel. And the ultimate consumer
foots the bill.
See the grocer order a barrel OF
apples Going through them he dis
covers a certain per cent have rotted.
His per cent Of profit must cover
these-and again the ultimate con
sumer gets the hot end of-the poker
Poor Mr. Ultimate Consumer must
not only pay store rent and clerk
hire, insurance, etc, but he must
make good all losses from decay, de-
terioration and waste, and, as il all
these were not enough. he must pay
the bad debts Of the fellow who is on
the beat.
The remedy?
Be a producer or a middleman.

There has been so many applications

"The large number Of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge Of minors under Is
years of age, inclosing satisfactory
evidence that the soldier is under this
age, indicates the necessity Of more
care on the part Of recruiting officers
in order to avoid unnecessary ex-

ance to troops in the field in the sub
sequent discharge Of such men, and
to avoid placing a blot for life on the
record Of boy whose offcnse Of mis-
statement Of his age arises usually
from patriotic desire to serve his
country.
Hereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted or
enlisted until he has proven to the
complete satisfaction Of the recruit

CREDIT LOST FOR HOME RUN
Batsman Winning Game by Knocking
Ball Out Of Park Should Be
Given Home Run Hit.

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be. an effort will be made to
change. the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now in
vogue a batsman may hit the ball
outside a park. but II the runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run. and
1t does not go into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the
batsman. says writer In nm ex-
change. While the run does not score
in the game, since 1t is not nec-
essary. there is no reason why 1t
should not go into the summary Of
the game and into the Official records
as home run. It Is the most timely
Of hits and important enough to set
tie a game. Babe Ruth recently hit
into the stands at Boston. one OF his
longest hits OF the year. yet 1t does
not show in his record Of home runs.
Pipp hit into the stands at the Polo
grounds recently and broke up a ball
game, yet Is not credited with home
run. This feature should be changed
so as to give the batsman credit.

ITO END NOBILITY
Canadian Plan Strikes at Very
Ancient Institution.
Proposal 10 Called Radical and Affects
Titles That Run Back to the
Old French Regime.

The report from Ottawa that the
Canadian nobility Is to be abolished
may be the first news to not u few
on that side of the border, as well as
to many on this side, that Canada
has a nobility. The proposal is called
radical. and 1t certainly does strike
at very ancient institution. states n
writer In Providence Journal. II such
IA law Is enacted in accordance with
the recommendations of the govern
ment, in the form of an order in cOun-
Gil. mo hereditary title shall hereaft-
er be conferred upon British subject
resident of Canada." and appropriate
action shall be taken by the govern
scribed period, no title held by Brit
lsh subject now or hereafter Ordina-
rily resident in Canada. shall he rec
ognized as having hereditary effect"
The reference presumably Is to the
titles that have come down from the
period when the king Of France "con-
ceded his North American possessions
In flefs of duchies. marQuisates, coun-
ties. viscouhties, baronies and other
noblesse. military officers and other
men of merit admitted to the noblesse"
according to the old chronicle. And
although, as one of the ancient regime
has plaintively observed, democracy
has hatred for natural superiority
and endeavors to crush 1t out" the
tltular nobility seems to have survived
among the ''bourgeoisie" and 'peas-
antry" of the husky young Dominion.
Canada has its college of arms and
a number of American citizens who
can claim descent from patrician
families. or who by feats of arms or
other public achievements have shown
their merit. have qualified in some of
the orders. and are privileged to dis
play the ribbons and wear the-cOurt
dress of dark blue, red cord. gilt but
tons of the imperial two-headed eagle,
cavalry saber, and blue, red or green
SASH" At about the time Of the Civil
war one of these orders invited the
membership of "thOse of the American
states disgusted with the vulgarity
and tyranny of democracy" and its
rolls contain the names Of General
Gordon, General Vance and other dis
tinguisha6 persOnages Of the Southern
confederacy. Among the old French
titles are Due dArkansas and Baro'
net Of Novia Scotia.

Forty-first were reorganized as the
TwentyfOurth regiment of infantry ;
the Thirty-ninth and FOrtieth were re-

Fire Loose, In North America.

Fire loooo0 IN North America.
Az has often been pointed out, the
fire waste in the United States and
Canada IL extravagant. But Canada
now proposes to reduce the damage
by the adoption Of compulsory FIRE pre-
vention measures in accordance with
the recommendations Of the commits
sion Of conservation, says Providence
Journal.
Excluding forest hres, the commits
sion finds that since confederation
the loss has been 100000. 600. while
every year 200 lives are sacrificed in
fires, and 500 persons are seriously In
jured. Canada's per capita fire loss
is the largest In the world-$2.73-
and that OF the United States-$2.26
lis second. Engiand's figures are
small-64 cents-but large in cOmpari-
son with the Is cents reported in
Switzerland. France has a per capita
loss Of "a cents. Conditions In these
several countries do not seem to JUS
tify such an extraordinary difference
In the fire records. Probably the cx-
PLANTATION Of the poor showing on this
side of the ocean lies in the better
enforcement of safety regulations in
Europe, and in holding property own
ers accountable for the damages
caused by fires starting on their
premises.
The remedy proposed in Canada Is
In putting more responsibility upop

bustible property.
