At the Blackstone, Chicago, straw
berries arc 90c, prunes (6) soc, oat~
meal and cream SOC, coffee 35c, and
a glass Of milk 25c. Three contribs
have written US about it, and even 30
good reportcr Old Jack Tenant
writes about - or Of provender in
Chicago. But t.,.s are the prices
current at the Blackstone or the Con-
gress, presumably. There are ten
hotels and restaurants In New York
to one in Chicago where tho break
faster may pay at least as high prices.
The hotel man gets what he can. 1t
is only the patron who conducts his
business solely for his health and the
community's betterment.
Still, the sincerity Of the complaints
against high prices in Chicago is be-
yond question. Few Of the complain
ants arc spending their own money.
Tho Strongest Of Arguments
Sir! DR.. Wood is the only man who. if
nominated and elected. can be relied on to
rid Washington dispatches Of the cumber-
some Tho Presidents personal physician"
Consider. furthermore, the conviction that
would be carried, In tho event Of Presi-
Dental illness, by q bulletin something
like this:
"The President had q vary good night
and enjoyed hearty breakfast He feels
wonderful. (ssned) WOOD"
"Mr. Johnson's parade met me on
Michigan Boulevard this afternoon"
writes Janet, who is covering the con-
vention exclusively for The Tower,
"and his managers had hired quite
lot of buns to walk In front Of his
car with placards on their derbies say
ing the people wanted him or some
thing. I think I'd rather be born king
than run for President. It's less hard
on the people,"
Blithely Skipping
Sir, Speaking Of the accounts Of
the trial yacht races and your excuse
for skipping them makes you out
peculiar species Of skipper. You are
some skipper when ashore, but nothing
OF the sort when on board. Heyl

SHE-You smoke a good deal, don't
you?
HE-Well, I suppose I do. It's moro
habit with me than anything else
l smoke about two boxes of cigarettes
day and about twelve cigars. No.
about ten. Sometimes twelve. It de-
pends. But enjoy the one after
breakfast better than any other all
day long. Except the one before I 70
to bed, maybe. I tried to cut it out,
but I couldn't. 1t doesn't do me any
good, but I don't think it does me
much harm. I enjoy 1t, but It's more a
| habit with me than anything else.

Tho Hiatus Vs. tho Cacchination

1t less difficult to burst into q yawn than
laughter. DON HoLYRoox.
