Washington, D. C. March 7.—Es- | timates of the increased cost of living | by Professor J. Pease Norton of| Yale University, expert in trade sta-| tistics made public place the advance | since 1896 at 66 per cent. His figures give the increase for Great Britain as 43 per cent. The conclusion is that American prices have advanced 50 per cent more than British prices. “Tf a world-wide cause, such as gold depression is responsible for the common advance in the two count- ries,"’ says the statement announcing | the conclusion of Professor Norton, “the 50 per cent advance in America| must be due to special cause such as bank inflation, tariff duties and trust monopolies probably in order of im- portance, “The statistics disclose a violent} advance in the cost of living paralled | to some extent by the disturbed con- ditions produced by the greenback inflation of the Civil War’’ The estimate is arrived at by using the index number system. It is point- ed out that the Dun Wall Street Bu- reau from 1860 to 1907 issued index numbers based on the prices of 50 leading commodities but that the Dun numbers were suddenly discontinued in 1907 after a violent advance of more than ten points in less than two years. Professor Norton also used fifty commodities divided into five groups vegetable foods, meats, textiles, min- erals and other articles. He finds that the index number has risen from eighty-six in 1896 to 143 at the pres- ent time, and from 126 in December, 1908. Since December 1908. the in- month, At this rate if uninterrupted by August, 1911. The purchasing power of the gold dollar of 1906 will have been cut in two. 6 Beautiful T Teaspoons Free.

They call it the result of the | diseases of play, but the diseases of | work kill their hundreds of thous- ands, while only hundreds succumb to the diseases of play—even includ- ing dissipation—wine, women and | song,” said Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of New York, in the final conference on public school hygiene and physi- cal culture of the convention of the National Education Association. Doctor Hutchinson urged that chil- dren in the schools should be taught |to enjoy their life’s work, instead of |making drudgery of it. Most men | labor so that they later may play, he | added; what they should do is to play jand work together. More amuse- | ment should be found in life and play | should be directed into healthy chan- ‘nels instead of into desperate seeking | for distraction from too hard work. Marriage Licenses. P. M.
