GOING UP. .- .l W Everything We Eat and Wear Btsadliy Advancing, with the End Not in Sight. NEW YORK, August 17.~'I‘hc cost of living is steadily increasing. in the last. thirteen years there has been an advance in the price of commodities of exactly 49.1 per cent. This includes not only breadatuifs, but clothing. leather, dairy products—in fact, every- thing that eutcrs in any appreciable etxout Into the demands of tho housc~ holders. During this summer there has boon a. gradual upward turn. The whole.» color is paying this month one-half of one per cent. more for various com- modities than he did in July, and about the same increase has been made with each month since the. end of spring. Willie the wholesaler has been paying more, the advance in the consumer has been progressing to an .even greater extent, Forty-eight articles used by the ouseholder are higher this month han they were a year ngo.a11d all of these articles 'nre those of which the consumer buys the most, such as flour, eggs, pork, mutton, cheese, coffee. tea, and butter. Bradstreat's Agency has been keep- ing track of the movement of prices for comparative purposes since 1892. the year before the big panic. In ar- riving at the average increase. the agency takes the wholesale market prices of 101; different couuuoudlllcs. ranging from milk, bread, flour and other articles used in the household, to leather textiles and building ma- terials. The prices of these commodi- ties per pound are added logethcr.giv- lug what In technically called the "in den ber"——0r What if would cost to buy one pound of all of the 106 com- modifies The agency has found that the articles taken far this list, when added together. furnish a true barom- eter of general prices. In 1892. the year before the panic of 1893 the "index" of commodity prices Lass $8. 1882. 111 1896, when the coun- try was in the depths of tho depres- sion which followed the panic, the “In dcx" price went down to 35.7019. Then came an intermediate period. and la- ter. just before the panic of 1903'. prices reached their highcsl point, the commodity average being 39.1298. In the summer of 1908 the price dropped [0 :7. 7327. and after that there came 11 gradual increase. in January of this year the "index" price was 58.2631. While this month it Is 88.5039. The significance of these figures to the householder is that, while prices have been gradually going up in thc wholesale market, the consumer has been obliged to pay, not only this in- crease, but in many instances consid- erably more. it. is generally agreed that it is the consumer who, in the long run, has to bear the brunt. -lifost disfiguring skin eruptions. scrofula. pimples, rashes. etc. are due todrnpure blood.

The new boy is of later origin than the new woman. says a lady writer who has discovered him. He can make his own bed. sew buttons on his . own clothing. cook his own breakfast or wash the dishes. and la not consid- ered a “sissy" for so doing. its can carry on successfully a bachclor cs‘ tablishment for his father and him- self. make out the menus. hire the domestics and even do his part. so- cially without losing his place among the first six in school. The new boy Is the result of a grow- ing belief among mothers and edu- cators that domestic training is just as good for boys as, for girls. They argue that a domestic trained boy makes the best. kind of a husband. and that the brother that is obliged occasionally to make his own bed or boil an egg will not. look down on his sister fur doing these same things. Also. that the girl who can use her brother's kit of tools will no longer consider him a superidr being because the tools are his property rather than hers. Again. the advocates of domes- tic training for boys any that. while there will always be a division of oc- cupations In the family. all in society. there is this diflerence in she family. that in those occupations which re. late to the common life there ought to be a common performance alas the division of labor will result in a di- vision of feeling and-of thought. no LONGER a «lusvsmcx.» A Newly activated Little Girl's odd Explanation of the DID“.- nll “Nine.
