The introductory paragraph of the article is as follows: "Regarding the high cost of living, the eggs, coffee, rice, po tatoes, onions, milk, cabbage, meat and poultry consumed jn the city of New York during the year 1909 cost the residents of that city $464,147,000, yet the farmers and producers of this vast amount of food Btuff received but $274,289,000 for it, ac cording to government investigation. As the bulk of the food was produced many miles from its place of consumption, the freight bill on it was $25,045,000, while tho middleman, whowe Bhare in producing and delivering the product mentioned to the ultimate consumer consisted of re reivtner it from the railroads, tacking on a profit and deliver ing it around the corner, received $164,813,000 for his trouble." The above may be a contribution to statistical information, but for common sense give us the declaration of the Hanford Senti nel, which says: "Cut out this scream of 'high cost of living' and get down to earth. The high cost of a spendthrift career is what is burning up the liver and the lights out of the American population. When a man spends $2 a day for non-essentials and growls because he has to pay 45 cents a pound for butter that will last his table a week, he ought to be kicked into kingdom come. The butter is essential, and so is meat and bread. His tobacco and liquor bill, and the wine on the table, are, of course, relegated out of sight when he figures up the surplus he owes at the end of the month. Then the woman who wears a $20 hat and has to buy a new gown every time there is a card party has no kick coming about tho price of gloves and rats. Tho whole hue and cry of the populace can be analyzed all right without the state and nation creating expensive bureaus to Investigate the question 'why Tete does not pay Paul, and then Borne.' Get down to earth, for 'unto earth thou shalt return.' After all is said and done the principal reason for the In creased cost of living is the incrensed demand for things that are considered necessities, but which a few years ago were listed us non-essentials.

''Ever since I was a little girl," says Mrs. Riley Laramore, "I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. I suffered misery after eating, and had terrible heartburn. I thought I had to suffer this way as long as 1 lived, but when I began to take Thedford't Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gone in few days, and 1 could eat without distress. 1 took two small packages in all, and although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned. 1 speak a good word for Thedford's Black-Draught whenever I have the op portunity." II eating causes distress, we urge you to try Thedford's Black-Draught. It cleanses the system, helps the stomach to digest its food, regulates the bowels, and stimulates the liver. It acts gently and is without bad after effects. Try it Price 25c. STATE NEWS. Tho Rwedlnh Covenant Tabornaclo at Portland was dedicated Sunday.
