k "" Hi'fs
all know what they mean. Mm use
them by day on our grocery bill#, our
butcher bills, our drug bills and our
dry goods bills, and when the curtains
of night have been drawn the awful
letters are found in the cerulean vault
by the stars that gem night's radiant
brow. We know what they stand for,
just as the merchant and the shipper
know the meaning of “F. 0. B.” At
the beginning the alphabetical trinity
meant “High Cost of Living,” but to-
day the heated letters stand for
“Higher Cost of Living,” for each day
sees an advance in the cost. For a
time there was no remedy, but each
worker has the remedy within his
own hands—it is to strike. We stop
the trains and let fruit and vegetables
rot on the trees and in the gardens.
Mother earth has been kind, and has
produced enough for all, but what
does earth’s abundance profit the con-
sumers if there are no means of dis-
tribution? There are no friendly
winds to blow the cotton to the fac-
tories that it may be made into
clothes; the hogs and the steers can't
walk to the packeries, neither can the
products of the fields mout wings
of eagles and fly away to the world’s
pantries. There are factories enough,
and workers enough, to make shoes
and shirts and hose and skirts for us
all, but the factories close because the
owners are dissatisfied with the prof-
its or the workers are dissatisfied
with their pay. And so the demand
is greater for everything than the
available supply, and prices soar and
soar. The things we produce are high-

If a girl is homely she consoles her-
self with the reflection that it is bet-
ter to have brains than beauty.
A farmer on the street the other
day had a sack of meal in his hands
when he said: “Just look at this
little peck of meal for which I paid
65 cents and which I used to buy for
20 cents. It is a dirty shame, the
prices we must pay the merchants."
He was asked if his only business in
town was to buy meal. “No,” he
said, “I brought in a load of cotton
and sold it to one of the merchants.”
“What did you get for it," was asked.
“Thirty cents a pound," was his
answer. One more question was ask-
ed: “How much did you get for cot-
ton when you could buy meal at 20
cents a peck?” And he simply said
“You go to hell,” and walked away.—
Exchange.

Constipation
The beginning of almost every seri-
ous disorded is constipation. If you
want to enjoy good health keep ypur
bowels regular. This is best accomp-
lished by proper diet and exerise, but
sometimes a medicine is needed and
when that is the case you will find
Chamberlain’s Tablets are excellent.
They are mild and gentle in their ac-
tion, easy and pleasant to take. Give
them a trial. They only cost a quar-
ter. ■ M
