This is not supposed to be an age
of miracles, as the term is generally
understood, but the fall of Dorothy
Ryan, of Chelsea, Mass, from third
story window, forty feet to the ground
without scratch or injury, may be con.
sidered in that light. According to
the laws of gravitation the impact
should have broken every bone in her

Many have suggested solutions to
the problem; the newspapers are full
Of the subject; promises have been
made that the question OF high prices
would be investigated; and investiga,
tions have been made, but with appar.
emily no result. as prices continue to
soar higher and higher We are be.
ginning to wonder what will be the
ultimate outcome OF it all, and we find
ourselves, anxious to know just what
to do and just how to solve the ques-

tion at this time. We are anxious to
know what will restore living expens-

pose Of investigating, and putting into
effect certain plans that may be found
helpful along this line.

Eat simply nutricious food, plan
your meals ahead, buy for more than

Washington, Jan. 4.-No dogs al
lowed!
The sign hangs out Of the White
house. If it didn't President Wilson
might find himself swamped with
canine gifts. It seems that every one
wants to give his best dog to the
president.
The latest proffer of canine gift
was that of. two Chinese Chow pups,
which were offered to the president
by P. T. Barnum, grandson of the
famous Snowman.
When the president was abroad
he was presented with dog which
was named League Of Nations" be-
cause its donor admired the work
the president had done for the
league Of nations. The president
gave the dog to Secretary Tumulty.
Secretary Tumulty's Airedale would
not stand for the European canine.
Secretary Tumulty gave League of
Nations" to a friend. The friends
cat objected to League of Ma
tions," and so the European doggie
was presented to Mrs. William E.
Borah, wife of the senator from
Idaho.

emy OF the league of nations, but he
is a lover of animals and little
