Revenues Of Cities.

Public utility corporations may have had
trouble making ends meet in 1913, but cities
conducting public service enterprises found
them exceedingly profitable. This is shown
in a report upon financial statistics of cities
of more than 10000 soon tos be issued by the
census bureau. There are 227 cities covered.
Earnings Of public service enterprises con-
stituted the largest revenue item, next to taxes,
in the list of sources OF income. Gross earn
ings in these cities aggregated $116,4s4,645.
while the expenses of conducting them waI
only s55,174,4so. leaving a net profit of $751;
S2o1s5. The bulk Of these earnings, 1t is only
fair to state came from water supply systems.
the gross receipts being $9O,139,7O5.
For the 227 cities taken together, the pay
ments for governmental costs. including inter
.. est and OUTLAWS. exceeded the revenues by s4s,-
500 $40. or SLAP per capita; but the revenues
exceeded the payments for current expenses
and interest by s229,762, 507 an amount equal
to four-fftns OF the total OUTLAWS. which ag
gregated s27S,36S,437. In other words, the
cities of over 10000, taken as a group, are
paying from their revenues all their current
departmental expenses and interest and four
hfths of their OUTLAWS
The net indebtedness FUNDED and floating
debt less assets in general sinking funds for
the entire 227 cities amounted to $2661,451.21S.
or S77.53 per capita. The net increase during
the fiscal year for all the cities taken as a
group, $59,191,152, was very much less than
the corresponding increase during the proceed
ing fiscal year in the 219 cities covered by the
report for that year, which amounted to
98846 1896
The net indebtedness of New York city
alone. s1,0O5.o55,422, is more than three-ifths
as great as the total for all other cities OF
over 10000 taken together and is more than
seven times as great as that for Philadelphia,
which stands second in this respect with a
net Indebtedness of $136185943

For Cheap Coffee and Sugar.

One should not count too heavily upon con-
gress for relief in the price of coffee and prob
ably not in connection with sugar, since we
have TO buy both abroad.
Brazil, when lack Of shipping prevented ex-
porting much OF its coffee hit upon the plan
of storing the surplus and giving the owners
credit for it. In this way it was learned how
easy It ia to run up prices by forcing scare
ity and insurtng greater returns from less oot-
fee. Unfortunately the same lesson taught
by the war was not confined TO Brazil but
was learned equally well by those who make
and distribute goods in this country. 1t may
be possible to correct bad trade habits among
Americans but it will not be so easy to reach
foreign countries which virtually monopolize
certain sources of our supplies.

Hands and the Fin.


Although the bacillus intluenzae
is perhaps but a chief of the bac-
terial hordes responsible for last
years epidemic of influenza. there
is no question of the bacterial orig
in Of the disease or of its mode of
conveyance in droplets OF secretion
from nose or throat which may
carry up to ten feet from the pa
tent coughing open-face or snesz-
ing open-face) but which would not
ordinarily endanger persons who
keep outside the five-foot barrage
Invisible spray OF moisture given

This infection by droplets or
spray in which the germs are sus-
pended is too obvious and too COM
mon to be forgotten for a mo-
ment. It is sufficiently ignored by
heelth-iSnorant persons TO account
fully for the spread of the "fiu,' -
especially IL we bear in mind that
no one has as yet discovered a
positive method for diagnosing
early or benign cases of influenza
from alleged colds" the isolation
OF which latter cases is so seldom
insisted upon By busy doctors.
Spray or droplet infection, or ct
least the conveyance of known
bacteria by that means from the
nose and throat of one individual to
the nose or throat of another. has
been repeatedly demonstrated by
actual experiment. Therefore the
idea Is no more germ theory" But
since the epidemic of influenza a
number Of physicians who observed
the epidemic in army camps and
in civil life have ascribed q promi-
nent role to the hands as conveyors
Of the infection. This theory
say theory because SO far as
know it has never been expert
mentally proved-assumes that the
individual with a respiratory in

so conveyed to the hands may sur
vive long enough to pass to another
persons hands in shaking hands

sciously to his mouth. The theory
also assumes that individuals with

Distributing Sugar.

There is enough cane sugar in sight to give
each person about much as he got year
ago under the war rationing plan. If you
don't get your pound week you have reason
to suspect that somebody else is imposing upon
you.
. The United States food administration has
advised buyers in cane sugar territory to pur-
chase the basis year ago and
thus guard against giving some localities too
much al the expense OF others.
It is also advised that confectioners and
candy manufacturers be reduced to so per
cent OF last years requirements. bakers 10 20
per cent and preference given to manufacturers
OF medicines, to fruit preservers and condensed
milk companies. 1t Is said that candy manu-
facturers not only have generally been able
to secure their normal supplies up to now,
but in many cases have anticipated their
wants and acquired large stocks in advance.
A committee has been named by the
finers to distribute sugar by the Atlantic and
the gulf coasts for the balance OF this year.
1t remains to be seen whether this matter
will be better handled under private auspices
than under the administration Of the govern
ment food board last year.

Philip Warren had fairly idolizeG
his wife. He was of a jealous dis
position, however. and in his SOM
Der moods was inclined to look at
the dark side of life. He had acted
inconceivably resentful towards a
close friend OF Myrtle before their
marriage. fancying that Alton Do
yer had been a rival, and after
Myrtle died would pass Dover on
the street without even looking at
him.
Dover had also married in the
meantime. but soon after Myrtle's
death Warren discovered several
notes indicating that there was
some understanding between Dover
and herself. for the communica-
tons mainly covered appointments
for meeting one another. 1t was
true that they had been written
before Myrtle became his wife. but
an insane prejudice against Dover
vas born in his mind. and the
dread that he had not had the ex-
elusive love OF the wife ne adored
made OF Philip Warren q vretched
misanthrope and hpochondriac. He
shut his heart against every friend
he had known. including his sister
in-law and husband and even their
little children.

went over their miseries and PROS
