Commodity prices are tending lower
but the decline has not been important
vet. The food budget of the average
family according to the statistics given
out by the Department Of Labor and
based upon the price of twenty-five
articles Of food increased during May,
3 per cent over April and per cent
as compared with January, Price cut
ting is gradually reducing living eX-
penses, however, as far as merchandise
values are concerned, but the move
ment is being kept within safe limits.
An immense amount of merchandise
has been marketed during the past
month through the organization of
special sales for the purpose of reduc-
ing certain stocks, notably clothing
and shoes. There has been also gen
eral movement by retail merchants to
lower prices to a level at which the
public would purchase freely This eff
fort has been largely successful. II
has given rise, however, to a natural
hesitancy in wholesale lines, making
merchants extremely cautious about
ordering large stocks of fall merchan-
disc at the prevailing wholesale prices
1t is too early to predict the precise
influence of this movement, or the part
it is likely to play in trade affairs
Judging, however, by what has hap
pencd in times past, the probability is
that the downward trend will continue
and that the tendency from now on,
except in exceptional cases, will favor
lower prices all round This does not
mean, however, that the reductions
will come at once; on the contrary the
process is likely to be long drawn out

Told Of the Famous.

In his book, "The End OF the Chap-
fer" Mr.. Shaw Leslie tells the follow
ing story:
"NIy grandfather witnessed an effec-
five piece of play in the house of COM
mons during a duel between Disraeli
and Gladstone. During heated night
Of oratory Gladstone upset some pens
on the table between them. Disraeli
rose. and, after calling attention TO
the fact, slowly replaced them one by
one. The effect of Gladstone's speech
was lost by the time Dlsraeli had I'm
isNed."
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr. Leslie says:
"My grandmother recalled the ludi-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. AS they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
ludlcrous enough to appeal even TO
professional humorists and they shook
hands"

THURSDAY JULY 20, 1920

The recent convention at Chicago in
its futile attempt to amalgamate a half
dozen or more wild-eyed organizations
to be designated and digniiicd as a
third political party, at least made a
notable contribution to the gayety OF
nations. In its bazaar economic, so
cial and political theories, its Bolshey-
istic paranoia and general damnfool-
ishncss, as pcrpclrated by its various
oratoricM delegates, it sure gives the
late Socialist national convention run
for its money.
The convention wanted Senator La
Toilette for its presidential nominee,
but the Senator very properly declined
to accept its platform and wanted one
of his own, which the convention very
properly rejected in turn. This recIp-
rocal rejection of platforms, as be
tween La Toilette and the convention,
contained the one bit of wisdom mani
tested during the conventions exist
cnce through weary days and nights OF
moil and turmoil and groupings in men
tai darkness; and impartial history
must accredit the honor equally to the
convention and La Toilette.
No doubt, the reader will justly ask
why knowing his war-record, any po-
llicm party under any circumstances
should want La Toilette as its nominee
But this question must remain un-
answered owing to the fact that the
unthinkablc the uncomfortable is mex
painablc.
Ignorance and error is a wilderness
of many and devious blind paths.
Hence, that the said convention was
inharmonious to the point of chaos was
most natural and iucytablci for made
up as it was and prompted by a con
plomcration Of individual and class
prejudice and erroneous viewpoints,
how could it have been in conduct 9th
err than chaotic. From start 10 finish,
al no time, it would SEEM could the
convention agree even that it was ON
its way, much less as to where it was
going
In enlightenment, in truth only is
harmony to be found Every fact will

Polishing Mirrors.

In cleaning mirrors and pictures
great care must be taken that no wa
ter seep under the glass. Water will
ruin the back of a mirror and blister
the picture.
Perhaps the safest way to polish
and clean these glasses Is TO use a
damp chamOis skin. Wiring the cha
mols as dry as possible out of warm
water, rub the glass until perfectly
clean and dip the chamois into clean
water and again wiring dry. Rub the
glass the second time and polish with
paper if necessary, but 1t won't be.
This way of cleaning mirrors and pic
lures does not endanger the frame In
any way and is very satisfactory.

Not Always Warned by Instinct.

Many persons are under the impress
sion that the instinct of animals
warns them against eating or drinking
anything injurious. This may be the
case with Wild beasts, but 1t certainly
Is not true with domestic animals. A
chicken will drink paint, and cows
have been known to poison themselves
by draughts from pool In which high
ly poisonous nitrate of soda had been
STEPPED. Give canary hempseed In
quantities and 1t will very soon kill
itself.
On the other hand, there are polsons
quickly fatal to man which have com
paratlvely little effect upon a lower
form of animal life.
Dogs and horses can take ten times
as much morphine in comparison TO
their body weight as man can. The
dove or pigeon can take 500 times as
much, while the frog is unhurt by
dose 1000 times greater, weight for
weight, than would kill US.

Wealth Is Not Always Happiness.

Often happiness is forced upon US
as through i'll fortune. Many a man
of wealth finds life dull and insipid In
the midst of luxury and crowds. 9th
ers have really begun to live with the
loss of their wealth. History is not
without examples of men and women
who have renowned their wealth to
find joys in doing things as men. The
story Is told of a woman who had all
the money she could use and still was
not really happy. Ill fortune reduced
her wealth and she was compelled to
work for the support Of her children.
Her friends thought work degrading
to her, but she declared that she has
never enjoyed life so much as since
the loss of her money. She is putting
herself into the money she earns.

Don't Try to Remove Freckles.

Freckles can be removed, but, as
the Journal of the American Medical
association says, "the effect Is only
temporary at best, and usually not
worth the irritation and effort that 1t
costs"
The method is to aplSy solutions of
mercuric chloride in a strength of from
O.5 to l per cent, strictly under medi-
cal supervision, for if one tries to do
it oneself she is likely to make nasty
mess of her face. These solutions pro-
duce an inflammation of the skin which
ends in the outer skin peeling off,
bringing the freckles with 1t.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association says that the prescrip-
ton written by Hebra, and recon-
mended particularly for the removal
of freckles, will not do the trick.
Wise women let their freckles
alone.

Cyclones Awful Destruction.

The tropical cyclone is a real cy-
clone. That is, 1t is the same sort Of
thing as the ordinary cyclonic air
movements which bring most of our
storms here In the eastern United
States; but In the tropics these move
ments are smaller in circumference,
incOmparably greater in strength,
and fortunately much less frequent in
occurrence. Often in a given region
like the West Indies there will be such
storm only once in two or three
years. The weather bureau will usual
ly note the storm after it has started
and will send warning to ships in its
path by wireless. The ships usually
make port. Those overtaken by the
storm are almost invariably destroyed.

fer most. Ships in the harbors are
thrown up on the beach, houses are
blown down and banana and coconut
groves that have taken years to grow
are destroyed in a moment.
