Fumes Of iodine have recently Daen
urged as a method of administering
that drug preferable to the usual
tincture. 1t has been shown by ex-
periments that fumes are absorbed
through the skin, and when innaleS
are absorbed by .the lungs, but It was
shown also that inhalation Is very
dangerous even in small quantities, es-
pecially when there Is any disease OF

To get off scot free is to escape
without payment of tax. Scot was a
tribute or tax levied upon all subjects
according to their ability to pay; lot
means the allotment or portion al
lotted to you, SO that to pay scot and
lot is to pay the ordinary taxes and
also the personal tax allotted to you.

We regret to learn of a dispo-

Such a policy is like dropping

like shutting up the lighthouse

The farmers of the South Will

And they will use him more than
ever before. 4
In the first place, they need
his help about production. How

ion. Some of the difficulties OF
newspaper publishing are point
ed out in an editorial headed
prices and Printers in the
current issue of the Extension
Service News, issued by the col
lege. The editorial follows:
Before community starts to
worry for fear the publisher OF
the local paper is making too
much money, it is well to know
the facts. Few lines of endeav-
or have been SO severely hit by
changing industrial conditions as
have the small'newspapers. It's
abundant testimony that there
were 1923 fewer weekly publlca-
lions in this state in 1919 than IN
l1915.
"Only recently has definite Ell
fort been made to study costs on
! country newspaper; this study
shows that few publishers have
been getting even cost for the
advertising space and printed
matter they have sold. Like the
farmer, they have been produc.

Prices.
Prices.
Everyone is wondering whetn

y |
er prices are coming down
whether they have come down. s
There is much confused and con-
Trajectory talk and writing on
the subject, because the facts
available for conclusion are
also contradictory.
Some prices have declined
some are higher than ever. II
you buy cotton cloth, you may
find that it is not so high as 1t
was. If you buy eggs. you may
suspect that the dealer thinks ne
is selling gold nuggets.
In the broad sense it still re-
mains true that not one OF the
causes that produced high prices
has ceased to be effective, and
so long as that is true there is no
chance of a general decline.
But as to some important classes
Of merchandise there are signs
that those causes are changing,
and the results that may follow
must not be overlooked.
So long as people will buy at
current prices there will be no
decline. The seller charges all
he can get. the buyer, though ne
may grumble. still buys. 1t IS
when there is a surplus OF goods
or a lack of buyers that the price
has to come down. What is the
present situation?
AS for most of the articles in
regular, necessitous, universal
demand, there is either a short
age or a barely sufficient supply.
Moreover, the supply gives nc
indication of increasing and the
demand no sign of diminishing
. That is true of flour, meat, milk
eggs, butter, fruit and a grea
variety of vegetables and grocer
les; coal and firewood, lumber
brick and all other building ma
terials.
It is not true Of sugar, which
is a most important food, becaus
the supply at present is super
abundant, or of textiles, raw ma
terial or finished product, or Q
steel. Those are the weak point
in the chain of prices, and tn
key to what is to come may pos
sibly be found in the textile sitl
alton. The controlling fact ther
is that, whereas men must hay
their daily food and fuel to kee
them warm, they can wear o.
clothes. Prices have been
high that demand has diminishe'
Wholesalers and retailers of clot
cancelled orders; manufacture
closed their mills or ran on sho
time; cotton and wool, being
less demand, dropped in prize
The next step must be that t
price of goods suitable for ma
ing clothing will decline in ord
to clear off accumulated stock
There has also been falling {
in the demand for steel produt
that may easily lead to declir
in that great industry.
Again, it is well known tina
great many traders, large a
small, in various classes of m
chandise, who have bought got
ON credit but who cannot
them, may be forced by
hanks from which they borrow
TO dispose of their goods at a

prices. If that should take pl

become evident.
