HIGH COST OF LIVING,
A railroad press bureau which operates put of Los Angeles
send? out a screed on the "high cost of living," in which it at
tempts to show that the railroads are the only factors that do not
properly belong: in the category of contributors to the present
fiuate of high prices.
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.

Distressing Experience and

Finally Relieved.
Ooodwater, Mo. ''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.
