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maple syrup which formerly sold for (10 cents a gallon Is now worth $1.25 a ballon; 10-cent flavoring extracts have been replaced by 25-cent pro- duets.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: seek to reduce. In an interview in a Chicago news paper at about the same time Mar jorie said: “Mr. Cunningham now has another scheme for money-mak ing. I would adv*se the people who are dealing with him to look out.” Mr. Cunningham did ha.'O an other scheme It involved another Roman vrhoie name ha ecu Id we and another fat-reducing fake.

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.

Anti-fat remedies treatments have been sprung on the public by the score. Most of them have been promptly exposed as frauds, or have died a natural death as soon as a reasonable number of victims found that they did not ful fill the extravagant promises made by their promoters. The public has recently been treated to a demon stration of the anti-fat remedy do The combination of a profes sional anti-fat faker with a popular and well-advertised burlesque ac tress, the use of an exuberant and variegated vocabulary in framing advertising, and of an unlimited amount of printer’s ink in making extravagant promises to the over fed. has resulted in breaking the ir.e*v« to the expectant world that ! the “Texas Gulnan World-Famed j Treatment For Corpulency” wMl re lieve all the ills of fat people Tor $20 ja bottle.

The big Men and Religion bulletin in the newspapers this afternoon is a simple appeal to the citizens of Atlanta not to get drunk on Christ mas day. The newspapers have eloquent editorials condemning the practice of getting drink on Christmns dav and calling on right-thinking men not to get drunk on that occasion.
