THE COST OF LIVING.
It has been said that the pure food
law has operated to increase prices
and that it is one of the reasons for
the high cost of living. This is not
so. The pure food law has increased
fooil values, but not food price??. It
is true that spices which five years
ago could be bought for 15 cents a
pound now sell for 25 cents a pound;
maple syrup which formerly sold for
(10 cents a gallon Is now worth $1.25
a ballon; 10-cent flavoring extracts
have been replaced by 25-cent pro-
duets. But this Increase In price
does not mean that the consumer li
paying more for his foodstuffs than
formerly. It is more economical to
buy spices at 25 cents a pound than
of fat women who i
light iu ti:

In an interview in a Chicago news
paper at about the same time Mar

has another scheme for money-mak

are dealing with him to look out.”

ENGLISH JUDGE DISMISSED CASE
AGAINST MISS EMERSON, A
MILITANT SUFFRAGIST, WHO
DENIED STRIKING OFFICER.
London, Dec. 23.—The charges of
assaulting a policeman, whhh were
brought against Miss Zelle Emerson,
an American Militant Suffrageiie,
during a disturbance last week, were
this morning dismissed by tho police
court magistrate.
Visa Emerson testified that the
policeman’s statement, In effect that
she deliberately struck him, smash
ing h; IBs helmet, wasn't true, but
she admitted that sho might have
done so accidentally.
Tho presiding magistrate paid a
tribute to the general truthfulness
of the Suffragettes, and said it was
his belief that if Miss Emerson had
hit the officer intentionally, she
would have said so.

city this year. Governor Corona, of
the Federal District, has secured tho
assistance of a few fashionable wom

toward purchasing clothing Tor the
poor. But even this preparation is
half-hearted.
The merchants of the city haven’t

the Mexican peoplo has been dulled
by the prolonged war; their money
