YOU FIRST. ALFIE.

"Let George reduce prices
first l want few more pick
ings. -
: That is the attitude of the av-
erage man III business today,
nearly three years after the arm-
istice. 1t is the reason why we
are in the midst of a period of
abnormal business depression. 1t
is the reason why six millions Of
our men are out of employment.
1t is a condition which neither
congress nor the government APP
pear able to correct.
This country is made up of
producers, transpoIters, whole
salers, retailers and consumers.
The consumer wants to see a re-
duction in the price of every COM
modify except that which he him.
self produces and offers for sale.
On the latter he clings to his high
prices. Railroad Officials want
to force reduction in wages and
salaries upon their employees,
but do we see desire on the part
OF any of these high officials to
make a corresponding reduction
in freight rates or their own
swollen salaries? The manufac-
turer clings tenaciously to the
last penny of his profits, yet he
is strong for reducing the cost
of raw materials he buys and for
cutting the wages Of his employ
ees. The retailer is keen ON pull
ling down prices in the whole
sale markets, yet he loses no
sleep in his efforts to reduce his
own. The salaried man, those in
the professions and the wage
Garner are just yearning for an
opportunity to buy their food, |
clothing and all of their other
necessities for less money, but |
they resist even the suggestion
of a curtailment Of their own in
comes.
In fact, none of us are exempt,
speaking as a class. We are all
tarred with the same brush. We
are perfectly willing, even anx.
ious, to have George do the cut
ting and slashing of prices, but
when it comes to hitting the to-
boggan ourselves we simply can t
see it, Therefore, no one sees il
except under the compulsion
of necessity. Every fellow wants
to continue selling the product of
his hands or his brains at a high
price, but most Of us have con-
cluded that we viii shut down on
spending until prices in other
lines reach a lower level. In 9TH
er. words, everybody is virtually
on a buying strike against every
body else but himself.
The result is very little buy
ing very little demand for pro
duction--a tremendous shlinkage
in the demand for labor. Because
of this shrinkage six millions of
men are out of employment. The
is in our own hands.
When. we are willing to see the ,
light of reason and accept a gen
eral sealing down of our own +.
prices along with those Of others, !
the purse strings of the people
will be loosened, normal buying J
viii be resumed, the unemployed {
viii be summoned back to their ,
work, and prosperity win be with
us again.

Man and His Cosmetics.

Comes now man writer to a beau
ty department of an exchange who
confesses not only that he uses cos
metics. but also states many other
men do the same, have been doing 1t
for years and are doing it more and
more each year. But. he adds, men
are better makeup artists and their
dolling up is seldom detected.
Not only does this man make this
confession freely, and indeed with
traces of pride, if not actual Boosting,
but he believes It the duty of both
men and women to improve their looks
when possible with beauty enhancing
devices, and the girl he marries must
be more broad-minded than his moth
er, who believes no girl has any ex-
cuse for using paint and powder: or
for touching up her hair and eyebrows.
Perhaps the man is only fooling. but
il these things be so, the increased
election expenses caused by allowing
women to vote will seem as nothing
compared to the increased expense OF
identifying humanity when men fol-
low the lead of women. A committee
should be appointed to investigate this
statement and, If it is found true,
movement for the conservation of cos
metics will be IN order.-Pittsburgh

SPEAK GOOD WORD FOR PIE
Scientists Give Comfort to Those
Fond of DeIicacy That lie Dis
tinctIy American.

Among the many varieties of food
that have been attacked on the score
Of indigestibility, etc, pie stands
among the foremost. Laymen, doc
tors. and even philosophers have
warned against the popular pastime
Of pie eating.
Cake, the distant pastry relative. is
somewhat less likely to form the sub
ject of objections from the physiologic
critic, while buildings usually belong
to the immunes, or at least receive
tolerant consideration. The proof of
the pudding-and why not also the
pie-is in the eating. Accordingly, a
number of gastrO-enterolOgists at the
Jefferson Medical college, Philadel-
phia, reports the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association, have come
to the defense of pie by actually de-
termining the gastric response to it
and analogous foods in the healthy
human stomach.
Direct comparison of a variety of
pies, cakes and buildings representa-
tive of American culinary art on the
same persons indicated that pies
"were handled more readily than
cakes, and buildings somewhat more
readily than either" For those who
can think best in terms of statistics it
may be stated that the average gas
trio evacuation time of digestion of
buildings was two hours and eighteen
minutes, against two hours and twen-
ty-seven minutes for pies; whereas
cakes followed in the wake with an
average record of three hours and two
minutes. Averaging the highest total
acidities, values were obtained for
puddings of 90, for pies of 80 and for
cakes of 90

Iy stirred some time ago on learning
that the body of a young English
woman who died aboard a steamer of
the Messageries Maritimes was con-
signed to the sea despite the protests,
entreaties and proffered compensation
of her husband, who sought to have
the body retained until the first port
was reached. A petition was adj
dressed to the governor of Cochin
China. setting forth that burial at sea
is a practice which originated in the
period Of sailing vessels when ships
might remain becaImed for days, but
that it is no longer justified now that
voyages are much shorter and ocean
travel has reached as great impor-
lance as travelling on land.
