Geneva. May 29.--The aged Ludwig.
 former king of Bavaria, is showing signs of insanity. which is hereditary in the former royal family. An expert in mental diseases arrived Tuesday at Zizers, near Core, from Munich. The aged ex-mon- arch has been residing in Switzerland since the middle of the month. Former

 The high cost ofmaterials and labor is given as the reason of the backwardness in resuming ac- tive building operations. It has now been almost seven months since the armistice was signed and there has been very little, if any, decline in prices of either materials or labor, and the indications do not now point to any early reduction in either. S. E. Sackett, general manager of the Jones &5 Laughlin Steel company writing on the subject of after-the-war prices, says:
 "A comparison of the course of prices during the Civil war and the World war just closed shows many points of similarity. The course of prices during the present period and the corresponding period following the Civil war, shows some points of similarity. In both wars building materials rose in price, but they did not at either time reach levels as high as the price levels of other com modties At the beginning of the year 1865, the end of the Civil war being in sight, wholesale prices broke suddenly and violently to the extent of 27 per cent, while building material only de- clined 141a per cent, as compared with present all round reductions in steel since last November of 14sl per cent But during the latter half of 1865 prices on wholesale commodities recovered
  stood just 16 per cent below the level of January 1865; while the price of building material ad- vanced to war prices and remained there for period of year. Pre-war values, however, were not reached until 1878 12 or 13 years after the close of the Civil war;"
 Itis reasonable to assume that the prices of 1914 will not prevail again, at least for great many
 
 vanced in price within the last month, and there are ntmations that still further advances will be made before the summer is over.

day Of the 'four-foOt STUFF which
makes up most Of the drives and gives
business TO the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions Of feet
of spruce that speculative and statis-
tical persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply

The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east of the Mississippi
river is about 7.OOO.OOO cords. or $500
100000 feet. That is using wood at 4
reckless rate. even with big supply

upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope Of the Rockies Is IS per cent

the burnt area greatly exceeds the

cypress are being cut away mt an
alarming rate. and in the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as possible.

experience Of John Randolph Watson
Of the town Of Standish.
Mr. Watson was photographer in
lndianola. and in 1856 an explosion of
chemicals burned away his eyelids. al
though the sight was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half century, three years
of the period being spent in Alaska,
where the severity Of the climate
caused ca,aracts to form on both eyes
and results in loss Of sight.
He went to Philadelphia later where
he formerly lived for Il time, and was
AT the Hahnemann hospital. and by
grating flesh from his leg he got q
new set of eyelids. The success Of the
operation is now assured. The cata-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored.

vermin Adds to Cost
of Producing Pork

Washington, d. C.-Lice add
cent pound to the cost of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm Of the
United States department Of
agriculture at Bel.sville. Md.
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured, and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
Of animals as possible.
The. two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter.
walls and at the end OF the fat
tening period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
cent a pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
The officials of the DEPART
ment who had charge Of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
of the departments field men.
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
a reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why. and he im-
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.
