Restaurant Prices.
Chicago Tribune.

Russell ]. Poole, secretary Of the
council H. C. L. committee, is doing
a difficult but valuable work in at
tempting to reveal fair prices in many
of the middle class and cheaper restau-
rants Of the city. Mr.. Poole's investi-
cation and reports indicate that the
restaurants visited are stubbornly re-
fusing to pass on to the consumer the
reductions in food prices which are
general. It is fair that restaurant
patrons should know the fact in order
that restaurants which are changing
their portions and prices to conform
with the, declining market should be
given their patronage.
Their are thousands Of persons out
of work and other thousands on small
incomes in Chicago who eat all their
meals at restaurants. A margin of
10 cents in the matter of a meal IS
likely to determine whether or not
they get sufficient food
The drop in food prices at groceries
and markets has led all others. The
reduction at restaurants has been
small. The natural conclusion is that
such restaurants are getting more
than their share They should ioir
with other lines Of business is getting
back to normally. It is to be hoped
that Mr. Poole's revelation will move
them to it.

Living on Velvet.

Women of the United States spent
five hundred million dollars last year
on such vanities as powder, rouge,
Hp-sticks and perfumes, says a Treas
ury report from Washington. A lot
of men will start moralizing on the
fact, no doubt, until some one calls
their attention to the Nations tobacco
bill, which last year took toll Of con-
siderably more than five hundred mil
lion dollars.
From whatever standpoint the use
of rouge or tobacco may be viewed,
they at least have some benefits that
all can share in. They are helping to
pay for the war. Last year the Gov
eminent took some two million dol
lars in taxation on the sale of cosme-
ties. Tobacco-users at the same time
paid more than three million dollars
for those blue internal revenue stamps
that encircle their boxes of cigars,
are pasted on their cigarette pack
ages, or stare at them from the cover
of every package of pipe tobacco or
snuff.
AS concerns civilization in general
however, the annual bills for the van
ity of American women and the plea
sure of American men raise some neat
questions.
Do the American people think it
right to spend five hundred million
dollars annually on military ,arma-
ments If not, are they willing to re-
write the old adage so that it runs
millions for powder puffs and after
dinner smokes, but not one cent for
the Nations defense"
Are we so hard pressed, after all,
that we can contribute only some fiji
ty millions for the relief of starving
Europe and Asia?
Our cosmetic and tobacco bills are
pretty good evidence of velvety con-
ditions Of life amongst US. And they
show that we are long ways off from
honest-to- goodness hard times and
suffering Minneapolis Journal.

Report Of Society.

The Presbyterian Missionary Soci-
ETY. met at the home of Mrs. Geo
Wright Wednesday with a large at
tendance. Mrs. Goudy led the devo-
tionals, the business of the meeting
following. A letter from one of the
missionaries in India was read by Mrs
Ball. This contained many interest
ing things in connection with the work
of the missionaries and awakened in
all keener desire to help push the
work in the mission field.
missionary work on the Mesaba
Range" was the topic for considera-
ton of the program hour and was
given in very able manner by Mrs.
Hall. As an introduction, Mrs. Hall
told of Minnesota's strategic position,
its size and its stored-up wealth in
the iron ore ranges, fifty six per cent
of the world supply coming from this
vast, industrial empire of the north.
Last year forty eight millions of iron
ore were shipped down the Mesaba
railroad to Duluth and shipped on ore
boats and started on their journey to
the cities of the east.
Mrs. Halls talk however was not to
exploit the wealth of the state but
to bring to the attention of her audi
tors the great neglect of the people
who toll in this region, and, keenly
alive to the great need of work along
this line, Mrs. Hall in her own char
acteristic way gave a vivid account
of the life and conditions of the peo-
pie as found by VIM. T. Bell and told
Of his wonderful work among them.
Following this talk Mrs. Glasco read
most interesting letter from Anna
Mclean, one of the Redwood Falls
girls, who is teaching on the Range.
Mrs. E. H. Pease who had attended
the Presbyterial meeting at Pipestone
gave most interesting account of
the meeting which was encouraging
and helpful and gave also many good
suggestions for the society's future
work.
A social hour followed the program
and refreshments were served by Mes

Jennie and Ada VIM.
