Gentlemen: — ; In answer to such questions as— “What are the causes for the present high prices of paper?” “When do you think prices will decline ?” which I am being constantly asked as a dis- tributor of paper and as often asking myself, as a buyer of the same com- modity, I submit a few facts that stand out as the important causes for the present situation. A large proportion of bleached and unbleached sulphite and ground-wood pulp that we use in the manufacture of paper, has come from Europe. The amount from Central Empires has been entirely stopped, while the pulp from Norway and Sweden has ma- terially decreased. What we are re- ceiving is costing double its former value, due to the present cost of coal, labor, ocean freight rate and steam- ship insurance. Fifty per cert. of our supply of rags comes from Europe. Dyes, chemicals, felts, paper ma- chinery and in fact every other arti- cle which goes into the manufacture of paper, has increased anywhere from twice to ten times the price paid one year ago. Labor has increased twenty-five to fifty per cent., due to the fact that practically all mills have replaced the two tour system with the three re- quiring three sets of workmen in- stead of two. In many localities the present scale of wages that munition factories have set, has had to be com- peted with. The demand for paper has increas- ed thirty per cent. In my opinion, one-half of this increase is actual consumption, which will continue as long as we have the present prosperi- ty. The other is speculative huying by all types of paper consumers. This, due to the presert high prices, will naturally discontinue. This will re- sult to the advantage of both seller and buyer. The above answers the first ques- tion, to the best of my ability, as to what causes the present high prices of paper. : As to when prices will decline, if you balieve the above information, I am sure that you will agree, only after the end of the present Eoropean war. It will then take some time for prices to adjust themselves because Europe’s pulp supply is greatly de- pendent on the supply of logs from Russia, and no trees have been cut in the last year. It will therefore be six months to a year before there will be any steady relief in sight. It is quite unlikely that the paper mills will ever be able to go back to the two tour or twelve hour day in regard to labor. It is for this reason that I doubt that we shall ever see the for- mer abnormally low prices. n experience as a very large buy- er and seller of practically all types of paper, and an intimate associate with nearly all large manufacturers, leads me to answer both questions quoted as above for the guidance of my customers and others interested in the purchase of paper.

It was a fine, large house, the next one. Beyond the patio wall they could see the clipped hedges; could smell, above the reek and sweat the red heat of the day, the fragrance of the flowers. On any other occasion they would probably have entered softly, reverently, so plain was the evidence of Peace and culture here where foun- tains were spurting, birds fluttering, and somewhere a woman's gentle voice calling. But they had just left a dead comrade, and no knowing when another might go the same way; so it was a rapid rush, with heads up, eyes about, bayonets fixed and finger on trigger, but for aj] their hurry making no noise. . Above a gorgeous bush an alert ma- Ine saw a conical high straw hat of the kind so often worn by the natives, “There’s one—waiting for us! Lool;, sir—crouchin’ behind that hedge!” ex- laimed Ye marine. allord saw the hat and thought of the dead comrade behind; pi then ! the marine said huskily, “He’s moving —shall I get him, sir!” “Get him!” snapped Gallord. The marine fired. Three or four others fired with him, The hat dropped down out of sight. : A native Indian girl came running cut of the house then. She raised her finger to her lips. “Sh-h ” she said, “sh-h——"" and looked around. She called out some words in a low voice. There was no answer. She stood on her toes, looked around, and again. The marine who had first seen the hat was known to be gcod at Spanish. “What’s she saying?” demanded Gal- lord. The man looked at his officer, but made no other answer. Gallord shook him. “You heard me! What did she say?” “She was calling to some boy to come into the house—that his mother was dying. ’Twas him we shot!” Gallord rushed around the hedge. He said: “Let’s get out of here!” It was a beautiful young boy they had killed—his arms full of flowers.—Jas. B. Connelly, in “Scribuer’s.” Flat Feet and Patriotism. Carelessness in Buying Shoes Unfits Many Americans for Service in the Army. | Em ELA " It 1s not lack of patriotism that makes Uncle Sam’s task of recruiting a big army a difficult task. It is flat feet and weak hearts, says the New York Globe. Despite prosperity there are thousands of young men who, un- der the stimulus of preparedness cam- paigns, have been and are offering their services to the country, but few are accepted. The preparedness parade is having its effect. Thousands of inquiries have come into the recruiting stations by mail, telephone and by applicants in person. If only flat-footedness and weak hearts could be eliminated, there would be no difficulty in getting all the men necessary. The flat-footedness is due in a large respect to the careless- ness of most men in selecting proper shoes. The poor heart showing is due in a large measure, the recruiting offi- cers say, to the increased number of cigarette smokers. As an instance of the severity of the physical examination, the report of Capt. Frank E. Evans, recruiting offi- cer for the marine corps, may be cited. Captain Evans has six recruiting sta- tions—five in New York and one in Newark. During the first eleven days of May there were 149 applicants for enlistment, and of this number there was not a single man who qualified. jected for poor hearts. others were many footedness. ———————— Common Sense Idea for the Woman Who Is Seeking to Secure or Guard Health. The woman who all the winter has used only a closed automobile or warm trolley car, now that summer has ar- rived, joyously starts forth to do all sorts of exercises to remove the flabbi- ness from her body and improve her digestion. But exercise in summer is a doubtful proposition if started too strenuously. A horseback ride, a game of tennis or golf, digging in one’s flower beds— these are all joys of the summer time out of doors, and are all excellent ex- ercises, but, oh, the stiffness of joints and the aching back! The stiff joints and sore backs would not be there if the exercise had been begun by de- grees and if one’s muscles had been kept firm by regular set exercises that can be done in one’s own room morn- ing and nights. “Few people realize,” says a famous physical culture authority, according to the Southern Woman's Magazine, “the harm of strenuous exercise when none at all has been taken for months. A six-mile walk may work permanent injury to the woman who has been Among the suffering from flat- riding everywhere she went and bend- | Ing over digging for two or three hours may displace organs that only an operation will put back again.” Memory Cure. That music is deeply associated with emotion in man has been proved in a new and interesting manner by nerve specialists trying to cure war-shat- tered minds. Memory lapses are com- mon among soldiers in the European war, A soldier who was a good mu- sician lost his memory. A physician tried him with music. At first there was no response, but in a short time the soldier was whistling tunes, and finally playing Beethoven and Bach on the piano—months before he could re- member his own name, This is only another proof that mu- sic gets close to the heart of things. The soldier who remembered his mu sic failed to recognize his father’s anu his mother’s photographs. A picture of his home won no response from him. But when somebody began whistling “Tipperary” he joined in and finished it by himself. When the mu- sic of Schubert's “Serenade” placed before him he could read it to read the newspapers. If it is only that music has a sur- f tion.

The hands, being used more than any other parts of the body, age first. at is the reason 2 weman who does manual labor has older hands than has a woman of the leisure class. The firet signs of age appear in the hands. The hands are the greatest telltales of age. Take good care of them. Your age is in your hands. Aging hands are starved hands. The ‘skin becomes dry and withered like a fading rose leaf. When a wom- an has passed the 30-year milestone she should give especial attention to keeping the hands well fed. The backs of the hands need the greater part of the nutriment, for it is there that the infallible signs ‘of age first manifest themselves. At least once a day cold cream or olive oil should be well rub- bed in. : To prevent the yellowing effect of the oil, two drops of tincture of ben- zoin ir. every teaspoonful of olive oil used will be efficacious, for tincture of benzoin is a bleaching agent. For the same purpose a half dozen drops of lemon juice in a teaspoonful of olive oil may be used. For decades past the conservative woman has been shod all in black. A few years ago an exception was made in favor of tan for sport wear and rough weather wear. “hen white was permitted entry as a summer compet- itor. But blues, reds, greens and vio- lets—fashion held up hands of holy horror. What a change has been wrought within a few morths. Colored boots and pumps for streét wear are so fashionable now that black footwear has become the excepticn with a for- mal costume. And with black boots have disappeared black stockings. The fashionable shade in hosiery is pale gray—in a thread silk weave so fine that the flesh tone gleams through the gray. These delicate gray silk stockings have replaced in fashion’s favor the champagne and | tan tints worn last season. The boots match the costume, but it is not nec- essary for the stockings to do so, and the pale gray silk hose are worn with every kind of boot except white ones, which, of course, demand white ho- siery. | Developments in the Philadelphia {wholesale silk market confirm predic- i tions, made from time to time, that Isatins and soft fabrics would be (Strong this season. It is true that | georgette has not loosened its phe- nomenal grip on the market, but at [the same time goods like charmeuse | have taken a strong position, and pile | fabrics are predicted by good obser- vers as real “comers.” Charmeuse, after georgette, is, per- | haps, the best seller on the market to- day. Philadelphia prices range around {$1.40, as compared with $1.25 to 1$1.271 a few weeks ago. Messalines "are likewise good, and are command- ing about 8bc. Crepe de chine, stim- ulated by the georgette vogue, holds well, and, like messaline, stands at about 85 cents. Georgette has not shown any advance save, perhaps, in ‘small spot sales here and there. Good grades stand at $1.15 and $1.25, and the market is virtually. bare, most 'miils being sold up to the first of th : year and some of the larger plants being sold up to spring. A New York report circulated in this market quot- ed charmeuse as selling at $1.60, but the general view is that this price is excessive. It might be too much tg say that ‘satins will displace taffetas in popu- ‘lar favor this year, but it is a certain- ty that charmeuse and other soft goods are advancing at the expense of ithe hitherto popular taffeta. Greens in all shades are good, and to a large extent green satins are displacing the blue taffetas, which have had such a tremendous run. Soft grays are fa- ,vorites in georgette, while a range of pastel colors is shown in messalines, Fancies are strong, with plaids some- what better than stripes. Several things are to be remember- 'ed concerning the colors and materi- 1als which appear on the cushions of the out-of-door living room, into ‘which the American veranda has de- veloped in the last few. years. In se- lecting its cushions it cannot be treat- led like an ordinary room, as the bril- liant light has to be considered. The adjoining lawn or garden, with its flower beds and shrubs, is seen in con- nection with the porch, and the two must be planned together. Some persons before fitting out a porch completely with cushions, test the samples of the cloth to see if they will stand sunlight and water. One should never use handsome embroid- |ered or silk pillows on the porch; comfort, not elaborateness, should be the aim of the housekeeper. The new covers, if possible, should be uniform in material and color, with perhaps one or two carefully chosen contrasting shades to avoid any chance of monotony. If a porch happens to be fitted in brown wicker furniture covers of Hol- land linen, with a monogram in a darker brown, are a good choice for chairs, swings and couches. Dark blue linen, marked in white or a shade of darker blue, makes decidedly smart covers for the porch which has neu- tral colored wicker furniture and blue and whit jute rugs. A successful porch done in blue and white had cushions of plain, firm white muslin, finished with two rows of dark blue rickrack around the edges. These cushions were fastened with large pearl buttons sewed on with blue floss. Two sets of these cool, clean looking covers were pro- vided for summer use. One woman whose summer camp is done in brown has a supply of yellow chambray, which she will make up into cool, comfortable cushion covers. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. SLANG IS UPHELD BY COURT “Fly Cop” and “Bonehead Stunt” Both Perfectly Proper, Judge Says. A recent decision by the supreme court of Louisiana holds among other things that “as newspaper accounts of police court proceedings and detec- tives’ escapades are not required to be written in a dignified style, it is not slanderous per se for the report to call a detective a ‘fly cop,’ to char- acterize his ruthless and unwarranted arrest of a man as ‘spearing’ him, and describe the officer's blunder as ‘pull- ing off another bonehead stunt.’ ” Upon ,this point the court said: “It is in evidence that the term ‘fly cop’ does not mean an officious police- man, as might be inferred from the ordinary meaning of the slang adjec- tive ‘fly’ We are informed that a ‘ly cop,’ sometimes called a ‘shadow bull, or a ‘tec, means nothing more nor less than a ‘plain-clothes man,’ & sleuth, detective. “It also appears that to ‘Spear’ a person, in the figurative or meta- phorical sense in which the ex- pression was used in the article com- plained of, means to catch a person ruthlessly, by throwing a harpoon or gaff into him; and we understand that to ‘pull off a bonehead stunt’ means nothing more nor less than to commit a blunder. “Ths B&wspaper reporter, in this in- stance, credited the plaintiff with a keener sense of humor than he pos- sessed, but we are not convinced that there was malice in the publication. Stories of detectives’ escapades are read by men who enjoy a little non- sense now and then, and it would take much of the flavor out of the newspa- per accounts of such proceedings if we should require that they be writ- ten up in the dignified manner of the opinion and judgments of this court. “For example, although we might deem it more appropriate to say, in commenting upon what we considered a mistake, that a reversible error or an abuse of discretion had been com- mitted, a newspaper reporter might well say of a more or less serious er- ror, without intending any disrespect, that a bonehead stunt had been pulled off.”—New York Sun. DIFFER OVER NAME OF TOWN “Muscle” or “Mussel” Shoals Is a Question That Is Agitating the Minds of Tennesseeans. The name “Muscle shoals” is going to be decidedly an.important one if the government nitrate plant is located there, says the Nashville Tennesseean, and, in any event, it is certain to be a much-used name during the next sev- eral months. We should agree, there. fore, on its spelling. As matters stand, one newspaper spells it one way and another the other way. It is a well-known fact that the place received its name because of the abundance in that region of a certain fresh-water bivalve, The common name of that bivalve is spelled both “mussel” and “muscle,” the former be- ing given the preference. But, in spell ing the name of the place, the latter got the ascendency. The United States government spells it “Muscle Shoals.” The Century Dictionary spells it that way. The Standard dictionary spells it both ways, but gives the preference to “muscle.” Five or six years ago the cities of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia solemnly eliminated themselves, and then as solemnly reincarnated themselves as Muscle Shoals. And they spelled it “muscle.” That is the generally accepted spell. ing of that great water-power site. Why stickle for the preferred spelling of the name of the mollusk from which the place took its name when practically everybody from Andrew Jackson on down has spelled it the other way. rear —————— Libraries of Nish. Whether German or Bulgar he re. sponsible for the destruction o? the libraries of Nish, it is an act of un- pardonable vandalism, which leaves the world the poorer. For Nish is rich in traditions and historical asso ciations. As Naissus, the capital oi ancient Moesia, it played a large part in the making of history. It was here that the second Claudius defeated the Goths in the third century with slaughter as great as is recorded to- day of the Germans at Verdun; and it was here—for all authorities are now agreed in disregarding the rival claims of Nicomedia and an unnamed place in England—that an innkeeper’s daughter, Helena by name, gave birth to a royal infant who was to be known throughout all time as the powerful Emperor Constantine the Great.—Lon. don Chronicle. ——————————— Wait Till the Road Is Dry.

At my duty to my alma mater not to NEITHER LIFE NOR DEATH Marvelous Results of Experiments in Suspended Animation Made Upon ' Worms and Microbes. One of the most extraordinary mani. festations of life is a condition quite common among the lower animals and known as anabiosis or suspended ani- mation. The creature is to all ap- pearance dead. The most refined Ineans of observation cannot detect a sign of life. The blood has ceased to flow. The nerves no longer respond te any stimulation. There is neither re spiration, elimination nor Sensation This state may last a long time, but given the proper c dditions the crea tures will &iié fo ii again. The lower we go in the scale of life the more pronounced in this state of neither life nor death. Some remarkable experiments re cently conducted by E. Shultz and A Singol of Petrograd are described by ‘the Berlin correspondent of the Scien- tific American. The experimenters dried roundworms till they were as thin as paper strips, then cut them in. When placed in water the tissues swelled to their normal pro- portions and the pieces of worm re sumed their life just as do those of any worm that is cut up. They took some threadworms, roti fers and microbes, dried them thor oughly, kept them thus for eight tight box through which a current o Thus they were not only dried but ef: fectually deprived of oxygen. Yet op being moistened they “came to life again” quickly. Strangest of all, those that had been locked in the hyirogen chamber revived in 15 minutes, while those that had merely been dried need ed 40 minutes. START FIGHT ON MOSQUITC Small, Troublesome Insect Must Be Recognized as Deadly Enemy of the Human Race. Malaria is said to have hastened the 3 downfall of Rome. The mosquitoes which transmitted it were more dead: | ly to the inhabitants of the imperial | city than their barburian enemies | Much has also been written of similar | injury to Greece in earlier times. At least two diseases are carried by certain species of mosquitoes— | malaria and yellow fever. All species ' are disagreeable pests that often make | nature’s most attractive spots unten: ! antable. Have you unwittingly permitted mos: quitoes to breed about your house o1 ' grounds? Even one old tomato cap half filled by the spring rain.. makes an ideal breeding ground. It is sur- prising how many hidden pools one can find around a place if you really go on a hunt. Not infrequently draip pipes become clogged, and then the roofs and gutters afford an unsuspect- ed breeding place for thousands of mosquitoes. x Communities that suffer from these dests should co-operate to campaign effectively against them. Even the smallest adjacent pools should be filled up or ditched and drained. If these | are, too large to be filled they should be treated with petroleum This floats atop the water and kills the mosquita larvae by shutting off the atmosphere. When the wind causes a movement ot the -water which breaks up the ofi coating it must be reoiled. Swamps can be similarly treated. A survey should be made of all premises. Rainwater barrels should be covered. Tin cans or discarded ves: | sels on rubbish piles should be per ' forated, smashed flat, or buried. | Family Inherit Oddly Slit Eyes. | H. P.

They need me on the football team next fall.” ONLY NEED MAKE UP MIND “Where There's a Will There's a Way” Is True When It Comes to Own. ing a Home. When a city is crowded by increas- ing population and when property val- uations and taxation rates are rising, rents advance, not gradually, not al- ways proportionately to either demand . or to increasing expenses of the land- lord, comments the Detroit Free Press. Presently the renter finds himself pay- ing a sum in monthly rent entirely dis- proportionate to his total income. Usually this brings a domestic finan- cial stringency, all the more felt when necessaries in food and clothing are also advancing in price. ! The FentéF In such circumstances finds himself on a three-pronged di- lemma: He can go on paying high rents and expenses, thus using up his income and failing to lay anything for emergencies, sickness or old age. Or he can buy a home on the popular con- tract plan if he possesses enough in savings to make the first payment of 10 or 20 per cent of the purchase price. Or he can buy a cheap lot far out and begin building his home piece- meal, a room or two at a time. Most persons prefer to buy the ready-made home. Building one’s own home 1s labor and tribulation and ex- penses, seen and unforeseen. And mod- ern folk are content to avoid tribula- tion by as wide a margin as may be possible. But the person without avail- able funds to make a first payment of 10 or 20 per cent must be content to See income consumed by outgo or turn to the task of creating a home a bit at a time. And this can be done. It is being done. Success is more frequent than failure in these attempts, too. The man without a nest-egg of money can get a lot, can build a kitchen, then a bedroom, then another room, until he | at last possesses a home of his own if he will endure hardships with pa- tience, if he will arouse the Spirit slumbering within, the spirit which led his forefathers to wilderness con- quests. “Where there's a will there’s a way”—even though it sometimes is a way beset with thorns. who conquers hardships has some- thing real on which to congratulate himself. TOUCHED HEARTS OF SEAMEN Sailor Tells of Deep Regret Felt When German Cruisers Were Forced to Sink a Ship. Mucke’s account of the manner of sinking a prize is exceedingly graphic, with all its Teutonic exactness. “It is a queer feeling for a seaman to see: a ship sinking, and we who were used to helping each ship in need were al- ways touched by it. The destroying was usually done in this way: We went down to the engine room and re- moved the covers of pipes leading out- side. In rushed the water in jets as high as a man. The water-tight door of the boiler room was then opened, to allow that compartment to be flood ed. If there was cause for haste, oth: er holes were opened by explosives, For a time the ship would rock back and forth as if it did not know ex- actly how to behave. Always deeper and deeper it sank, until the upper deck touched the water. “Then it acted like a body taking its last breath. The bow went down first, the masts struck the water and the screws were raised in the air. The funnels blew out the last smoke and coal dust; for an instant the ship stood on end, .and then shot down to the depths like a heavy stone. After half a minute greetings from the depths would begin to arrive. Long pieces of wood came up vertically, like an arrow, jumping several yards in the ‘r. In the end the place where the ship sank was marked by a large oil spot and a few smashed boats, beams, life preservers and the like. Then it was time for the Emden to make for the next masttop.”—Lewis R. Free- man, in the Atlantic. ra eons Burning Gas Through Ice. An interesting scene was witnessed on a skating lake near a western city. White spots resembling air bubbles were noticed in the ice, and cone of the skaters bored a hole ints such a bubble and applied a match to it, whereupon a flame burst out at the surface. Further experiments showed that when a small hole was bored down to the bubble a lopg, thin jet of flame could be obtained, which would last for a considerable time. - The bubbles were due to accumulations of marsh gas, formed by the decomposition of vegetable matter at the bottom of the lake. : Russian Newspapers.
