Haskin It Is claimed that the world s high ; watermark in the cost of living has been reached. The price of everything, from the flannels tn which the new-born babe is wrapped, to the coflin in which the aged man is laid to rest, has climbed s to an unprecedented height. The whole world is trying to ascertain the cause, i but every man denies responsibility. ■ There are so many twists and turns n j the path that leads from production to i consumption that it is difficult to fix re- . sponsibliity. but every American con- j sumer has turned detective and the l search for the guilty ones is on. • • • Fortunately there are a number of clues which suggest where to look for t the trouble. First of all. it is found that ; ,' the income of the average American family, is »•> a year, of which about >240 goes for food and drink. As there . are some families in the United States, this means that the nation's food Mil is about M.oOO.DW.'XO a year. Os this one-third goes for the purchase or meats. The American people are now eating something like JO.OO,<WO,<W pounas of meat a year, and for every cent that is added to the pound-cost of that mea* the consumer has to bear an additional burden.of DOC.OOauOO- A similar raise In the price of other foodstuffs would mean a total increase of about $500,000,000 a year in the burdens of the consumer for food alone. *n»erefore it is plain that the increase in prices is a case of grand larceny and not of petit larceny. • • • In following out cluee the price of beef Haims first attention. It Is not a new subject. More than 5® years ago people were asking why there was such a great margin between live cattle and a steak or roast. To settle the matter the Ameri can Agriculturist of New York followed an average sixed bullock through the > shambles and on to the man who bought ! the steak and the roast. It was found I that the dressed beef cost upward of 10 > cents a pound—which ip at least JO per , cent more than the average retailer pays | today. Yet when the man with the mar- i ket basket came in he got his cut of j porterhouse for 17 cents a pound, and his round steak for less than 12 cents. Many ' retailers who pay 8 cents a pound for a I •wreass t.xiay sell the porterhouse at 25 cents and the round steak at 18. • • • Tn this year of grace 1910 another bul lock was followed through the shambles to tho price-fixing of the retail cutter. ■ Cattle quotations show that in the Chi cago market for the week ending Janu ary 15. the average price on the hoof was MB cents a pound. At St. Louis butcher bought the carcass of an average steer for I cents a pound, and in order to ■ disprove the conclusions of Secretary WUson. published a detailed account of i- ’ how he cut it up and sold it. It weighed sflo pounds and cost him 840. He sold the porterhouse steaks at 20 cents, sirloin and ‘ prime rib at 17 1-2 cents, round steak at 12 1-2 cents, and other cuts proportion ately. He received 151.85 for it at retail. • • • The only trouble seems to be that he placed his prices at retail too low Moat Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseaee-1 portion of the ear. There ts‘ only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.. Deafness is caused by an inaflmed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it Is entirely closed, ' Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube mstored to its normal condition, ; hearing will be destroyed forever; nice || cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.

On this basis he would sell $52.24 worth of beef from the carcass—a gross profit of over 55 per cent. Mark you. this ; with no change in his figures other than I to increase his retail quotations t<f what I the average American is now paying at .the butcher shop. i One is not entirely dependent on Sec retary Wilson's figures or upon those of the St. Louis butcher to show the gross profits of the retailer. The butchers have text books and they offer further cor roboration. One of these is “The Mod iem Butcher” and the auhtor, a meat ; cutter of 3D years’ experience, shows how ■ a carcass must be cut up agd priced at > retail in order to yield a profit of 20 per , cent. In an S-cent carcass, to yield this profit, the porterhouse and sirloin must be retailed at 17 cents, and the round steak at 13 cents. In a 9-cent carcass the former must be sold at 18 cents and the latter at 15, with the other cuts In proportion. Let the reader com pare these prices with those he pays and figure out his percentages. What obtains in beef prices is true of other meats. Chickens that sell for 12 cents a pound 150 miles from Washington bring 22 cents when they reach there. A young man residing in Washington is part owner of a farm in Virginia, within 150 miles of the national capital. He re lates that when the corner grocer sells indifferent eggs at 40 cents a doxen, those on his farm are bringing 30 cents. When apples sell at $1 a bushel on the farm the reigning price at the corner grocery is SI.OO a bushel. The best country sausage brings 12 cents ’a pound on the farm and from 20 to 25 cents in the Washington I' grocery. John A. Stewart, of New York, relates how asparagus raised in northern New York sold for 3 cents a bunch !on the farm. 6 cents a bunch in the I neighboring village, and 45 cents a bunch in New York. • • • I It is the same with the other things | the grocer sells. The January quotation • for matches retailing at two boxes for 5 cents was SI.OO per 144 boxes. The highest grades of Java and Mocha coffee were quoted at 26 and 24 cents a pound respectively. Extra fancy dried peaches were priced at 9 cents a pound; the finest salmon at 18 cents per can. the best baked beans at 11.15 a dozen cans; 10-cent bottles of horse radish at 621-2 cents a dozen; 10-cent bottles of petro leum jelly at 75 cents a dozen; 35-cent bottles of laudanum at $1.90 per dozen; Epsom salts at 2 cents a pound, and so on without end. • • • It is plain, therefore, that the retail food dealer gets a large gross profit. He ; lays heavy tribute upon the consumer, • but what about his net profit? One sees but little evidence that he enjoys much of that. Few grocers are getting rich and many of them go into bankruptcy. Aye. there is the rub. Competition, sup posed to be the life of trade, has broken up the food retailing business into such little bits that each retailer must make an enormous profit to get a living out of his business. He must live whether he sells ss.o® a year or $25,0®. The small er his sales the greater per cent he must add to each dollar's worth of business, and the larger his business the closer margin he can give. • • • The situation is the same in other things which the consumer uses. A country merchant went to Baltimore to buy goods. He bought a suit of clothes lat $4-50 which he retailed at $lO. a Pan ama hat for $4. which retailed at $8 Col lars at 89 cents a dozen, which retailed at $1.50 per dozen. Dolls bought for 39 cents a dozen were to be retailed at 10 cents each. Toys which would bring 25 cents each at retail were bought at $1.39 a dozen. Statistics show that the best sewing machines cost only about sl4 to make, and bicycles even less. Shoe I strings that are sold for 5 cents a pair ; cost ® cents a gross. • • • But with all these figures, the average merchant is not growing rich. The re tailer must pay his rent, his help and his delivery expenses. His rent is higher be cause the lot on which the building stands is worth twice as much as 10 years ago. The landlord had to pay $6 a day for the bricklayer and the plasterer, and $4 a day ; for the carpenter who erected the bulld ing. And so it goes all down the line. '.The farmer must have more for his beef I cattle than he realized 20 years ago. for I the labor he hires costs him as much again. The laborer must have twice as much as he had 20 years ago. for his clothes, his food and his rent have doubled in price.

I 15100PTOI BI SENILE i Its Provisions, If Finally Pass ed, Would Affect Gaynor and Battle BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. D. C„ Feb. B—The senate yesterday afternoon passed Sen ator Bacon’s bill to parole United States prisoners under certain conditions. It met with no opposition, but whether it has such easy sailing in the house re mains to be seen. The measure is one in which the officers and inmates of the Atlanta federal prison are deeply Interested. This is particular ly true of old man Tom Battle, of Ma con, and John H. Gaynor, who was im plicated in the Oberlin Carter army scandal and conspiracy at Savannah. Battle is over 80 years of age and is serving a life term in the penitentiary for murder. ll* killed a man in the Ma con federal building about four years ago, was tried, convicted and sentenced in the United States court. Mrs. Gaynor, wife of the celebrated conspirator,' in common with the rela • tives of hundreds of other prisoners, has ■ interested herself in the parole bill. ' She believes that its provisions are 1 such that her husband, aged and infirm, ! may escape the hardships and trials con , j sequent upon his confinement, though I she realizes that his pardon is out of the question. ’ Under the provisions of the bill, any United States prisoner who- has been confined for a year and a day, or more, mfty be released on parole, under rigid tfjnditions and regulations, provided his conduct has merited it. The warden and physician of each prison, together with a special agent of the department of justice, constitute the parole board of each prison. The board will be controlled In its actions by re ports from proper prison authorities con cerning the conduct, etc., of the appli cant for parole. R. D.

ACTOR ENDS OWN LIFE ■ IN TRAGEDY FOR LOVE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) i AUGUSTA. Ga., Feb. 9.—An alleged love affair with a member of the com pany is said to have been the cause of i the suicide of W. W. Reams, of Chicago, i an employe In the “Cat and Fiddle” mu sical extravaganza, at a local hotel last i night, by drinking carbolic acid. He did i his work at the matinee, and was pres i ent in the theatre when the night per- L formance began. i He left and returned to his hotel and drank the poison. parroFcrTes fire. SAVINGJBIG TENEMENT NEW YORK. Feb. B.—“Oh, my! dear me! fire fire?” were cries from the kitchen that awakened Mrs. William Bows in her apartment In First avenue today. Running into the room, Mrs. Bows found it filled with smoke from the thick of which her highly prized South American parrot, an educated talker, had . given an alarm in plain language that possibly saved the building from burn ing over the heads of scores of tenants. Mrs. Bows saved her parrot. The fire, which started in a store on the ground floor, was extinguished with compara tively small damage. BbNCH~COMPANY~ DECLARED BANKRUPT LITTLE ROCK. Feb. B.—Judge Trieber, in the federal court here today, declared the Thomas Bench company, one of the largest grain and elevator concerns in tne southwest, a bankrupt, naming H. K. Cochran, one of the receivers originally appointed by the chancery court, as re ceiver. This action renders the previous one of the chancery court void and the company will be forced through the reg ular bankruptcy proceedings. Over $200,000 is Involved. KING GUSTAVE SLEEPS WELL; HAS NO PAIN STOCKHOLM, Feb. 9.——With only brief waking intervals, King Gustave, who was operated upon for appendicitis Monday night, slept well from 9 o’clock last night until 7 o’clock this morning. Today his majesty showed some signs of fatigue, but suffered no pain. His temperature was 99.7; pulse 54. sackvillTwest quits HIS FIGHT FOR TITLE LONDON, Feb. B.—Ernest Henry Sack ville-West today withdrew his petition for legal recognition of his claim to the title and estates of his father, the late Lord Lionel Sackville West. to spend S9OO for living, or whether he earns $2,0U0 and has to spend $1,900? • • • This thing of prices works some strange anomolies. Secretary Wilson says that be- ; ! yond a doubt, American food products i are being sold cheaper abroad than at ! home, and that the glory of having the cheapest foodstuffs in the world has passed from us. A. R. Cahill, a represen tative of the London board of trade, who is investigating prices in America, says that he has discovered a riddle he cannot solve—the American pays 5 cents for a 14-ounce loaf of bread, while the Britisher, with his bread made of American wheat, 1 gets a 84-ounce loaf for 10 cents. It is difficult to predict the outcome of the present hue and cry against the in crease in the cost of living. The national protest of the consumer would undoubt edly be effective if it were carried for ward with the same enthusiasm that marks Its start. But as a rule the dear public, after being driven to desperation . in some such matter, suddenly sits up . on its hind legs and howls to the moon. ' It makes the welkin ring for a space. ’ then as suddenly forgets its crusade and lapses into forbearance and inactivity. It is to be hoped that in this instance the ■ consumer will prove to be long-winded, . that he will continue to "holler” lustily i and at length, but if this crusade does not prove to be a flash in the pan It will be contrary to tha history of such move ment*. * 11 BLACKS KILLED IN TENNESSEE RIOT White and Negro Laborers Clath in Race Riot At Lock and Dam Camp CHATTANOOGA. Tenr,., Feb. B.—Two negroes were killed as the result of a race riot at the Halesbar lock and dam soon after midnight this morning. The dead: W. H. BAKER, laborer. EDWARD SLOAN, laborer. A report that the third negro was killed could not be verified. Bad feeling has been brewing for some days between the white and black em ployes of the lock and dam contractors, and an assault upon one of the negro laborers by a number of white men yes terday, coupled with the alleged liberal distribution of bad whisky and guns among the negroes brought the trouble to a climax. VOLLEY OF SHOTS. After an exchange of shots between a force of five policemen sent from Chat tanooga, under the direction of Capt. William Burke. Deputy Sheriff Moreland, of Marion county, who had sworn in a number of special deputies and the ne groes, the trouble was quelled. None of the white men was killed or wounded in the rioting. The negroes who had taken the most active part in the trouble-making retreated up the Ten nessee river, and the sheriff of Marion county is trying to apprehend them. A negro laborer who was recently sent to the lock and dam from Alexandria, Va., was set upon by a party of white laborers yesterday afternoon and badly beaten. The trouble is sajd to have start ed over the rumor that a negro was to be put in charge of some work over the white men. This the officials detjy. The contractors sent the negro Into this city late yesterday for medical treatment and to avoid further trouble. After the negroes at the lock and dam had quit work yesterday, whisky began to circulate freely, and they adopted an obstreperous attitude toward the whites. As the blacks outnumber the whites two to one the white employes and the fami lies became alarmed over the prospective trouble, and notified the Marion county authorities. Sheriff Westmoreland was in Chattanooga at this time, but his broth er, a deputy sheriff, took charge of the situation, while an attempt was being made to locate the sheriff. FEARED ATTACK ON CAMP. In the meantime the attitude of the negro laborers became more alarming and it was anticipated that an attempt would be made to “shoot up” the camp A large number of men were deputized by Deputy Sheriff Westmoreland, but as only a small number of guns were avail able, it was realized that they would be of little use unless arms could be secured Chief of Police McMahon, of the Chat tanooga police department, was comnju nicated /with by them shortly after mid night, the situation was explained to him. and he was asked to send a supply of guns and ammunition to the scene for the use of the sheriff’s men. Chief McMahon told the Marlon county authorities that, while he had no juris diction in the matter, he realized the urgent necessity of the occasion and would do whatever possible to relieve the situation. An automobile was secured and 20 riot guns and I,o® rounds of ammunition placed in the conveyance. As it was realized that an attempt might be made by the negroes to hold up the party and obtain possession of the arms, a force of five policemen in charge of Captain Burke was detailed to convey the weapons to the officers. The party of officers left Chattanooga about 1:80 a. m. and reached the scene of the outbreak about 3 o’clock. Firing was in progress when the officers reach ed the lock and dam. NEGROES BEGIN FIRING. Sheriff Westmoreland, of Marion coun ty, had been located in Chattanooga by the local police authorities and received his first intimation of the trouble. He accompanied the local men to the scene, and realizing the seripus nature of the uprising, he at once deputized the Chat tanooga officers to aid in quelling the trouble. The negroes were firing from the shel ter of their shacks in all directions. The officers returned the fire and closed in upon the negro statement, clearing the shacks of men. A band 6f the negroes retreated up the river toward the moun tains. This party, about 30 in num ber, seemed to be the principal trouble makers. In their flight they carried with them a large number of repeating rifles and revolvers. The officers made efforts to purse the fleeing men, but made a search of the negro houses, one negro was found dead in one of the houses, in sfich a position as to indicate that he had been killed In a drunken fight with members of his race. Another dead negro was found on the ground behind one of the houses where he had apparently stood while firing upon the officers. A pistol was found beside the body. After the officers had left this morning a third negro was reported dead in a nearby corn field but this could not be verified. A search of the negro houses revealed a large amount of whisky which accounts in a large measure for the trouble. One case, which had not been broken open, was found, while whisky bottles were laying around in large numbers. Reports from the scene at noon are that quiet Is reigning and most of the men have resumed work. How to Get Rid of Catarrh A Simple Safe, Reliable Way, and it Costs Nothing to Try. Those who suffer from catarrh know its miseries. There is no need of this suffering. You can get rid of it by a simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat ment discovered by Dr. Blosser, who for over 35 years, has been treating catarrh successfully. His treatment is unlike any other. It is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or Inhaler, but is a more direct and thorough treatment than any of these. It cleans out the head, nose, throat and lungs so that you can again breathe freely and sleep without that stopped-up feeling that all ■ catarrh sufferers have. It heals the diseased mucous membranes and arrests the foul discharge, so that you will not be constantly blowing your nose and spitting, and at the same time it does not poison the system and ruin the stomach, as internal medicines do. If you want to test this treatment without cost, send your address to Dr J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton Street. Atlanta. Ga., and he will send you by return mall enough of the medicine to satisfy you that it is all he claims for it as a remedy for catarrh, catarrh al headaches, catarrhal deafness, asth ma, bronchitis, colds and all catarrhal complications. He will also send you free an illustrated booklet. Write him immediately. WRANG TANG Strong, powerful, penetrating—it goes through the skin, through the flesh and into the very hones— every drop.
