My appetite is so good | can hardly get
enough to eat. My nerves are all right,

LUMBER AND PRICES.

Apparently American lumbermen are
smarting under the charge that the high
prices Of all wooden articles is due to
the increased price of lumber and the
American Lumbcrman of Chicago prints
some interesting and instructive state
ments regarding the matter. We quote
three examples given by that paper.
\ show window on Wabash avenue,
Chicago. has On display a small low,
clrilGS chair, made Of birch tpresIm-
ably.) 1t has cane seat, and IS
simple. plain article. The chair does
not contain more that five feet OF ium-
Der. and that would scarcely cost 81.
The chair is priced at 81. All the ma
terial in (. except the cane seat. is wood.
In an advertisement in Chicago
paper six years ago chair quite similar
to this was priced at So. The advance
of about 80 cents in the cost of wood
in it should not warrant the adding of
SIS to the price, vet some people argue
that the present high cost of furniture
is due to the high cost of lumber.
An upholstered 2-pieCc set of furnl-
ture in a Chicago show window recently
was priced $64j. All the wood visible
would not amount to more than l. feet,
and as raw material it would not cost
Sc. The invisible frames were doubt

places, and s., or'S6 should buy enough.

Atkins said that the reduction in prices
since July l had meant an actual loss of
$500 600 and that someone would
have to stand that loss. He said that
people in Cuba were delirious in their
speculations and that many had become
millionaires through their operations.
The sugar magnate predicted a steady
drop in the prices of all commodities
until after the first of next year.

Runs on three Boston banks Monday,
all three of which are undoubtedly safe

peoples financial nerves are still iumpy
after the experience with Mr.. Ponzi.
With plenty of money in sight in all
three of these banks. the demands were
still so great that the officials had to
make use of the 90-day law and close
their doors to the depositors. The law
invoked. requires depositors to give notice
of 80 days before withdrawing their
funds. The situation in Boston will
doubtless right itself without any panic.

The Political Signs in Vermont.
BARRE Times.

The Republicans of Vermont have
given recognition to the women voters of
the state through the act of the state con-
vention in Burlington in nominating two
of their number as candidates for presi-
dental electors, although they might have
gone further by electing women to the
Republican state committee, as the Demo
crafts of Vermont did in their recent con
vention. \ good many of the newly en-
franchised women are enthusiastic in the
game of politics and they might have been
expected to work vigorously for the Re
publican ticket in the forthcoming cleo
ton. But perhaps they are so enthusiast
tic-some of them-that they will lend
their efforts even. though they have no
official position on. the state committee.
The convention itself was successful in
many respects and the auguries point to
the piling up of the usual Republican ma
iority for state and national tickets next
November, with an endorsement of James
HartncSs, which indicates that the state is
looking for progressive leadership such as
Mr.. Hardness promised to give.
