RETAIL PRICES FOR FOOD.
A Startling Statement Made by the
News Bureau.
The figures of Boston retail
prices and wages published by the
News Bureau, last Saturday,
showed that the same quantity of
food which cost $3.92 in 1S90 and
$3.91 in 1900, cost $4.92 in 1910,
an increase of substantially twenty
five per cent, over the earlier years.
The Wall Street Tcurual estimates
that in the last dozen years con
sumption in the United States of
eight leading farm products increas
ed thirty-three per cent, but ag
gregate farm production in quantity
inert ased only three per cent. This
condition is unquestionably of im
portance in explaining the advance
of food in the United States, and
might be accepted as the entire
cause were it not that the phenom
enon of advancing food prices is
world-wide. It will be remembered
that the Journal's figures showed
that local wages had advanced in
ten years at practically the same
rate as food prices, and in twenty
years at a rate of thirty-three per
cent, greater. A reasonable infer
ence from this discovery is that the
reason for the advance of prices in
commodities is the advance in the
cost of labor. But labor after all is
a commodity, and its price has risen
in common with the price of most
other commodities, and this, too,
the world over. Prices are express
ed in the terms of another com
modity, gold, and many economists
find in the extraordinary increase
of gold production in recent years
the only adequate explanation of
the world-wide rise in commodity
prices.

The Zoological Press Bulletin.
Timely Topics of Plants and
Pests Discussed Weekly, by II. A.
Surface, State Zoologist.
ROACHES IN THE HOUSE.
The roach nuisance has been
brought to the attention of State
Zoologist H. A. Surface, Harris
ourg, by persons in different parts
of the State. The cold winter,
which resulted in brisk fires being
maintained to keep up the temper
ature inside of dwellings, may have
resulted in these pests becoming
more numerous than usual.
A lawyer of Indiana, Pa., wrote
to professor Surface, saying: "For
some time past I have been troub
ed with roaches. They keep hid
in cracks during the day, but at
night come out in large numbers.
How's This ?
We offer One Hundred Dollars
Reward for any case of Catarrh
hat cannot be cured by Mall's
Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY &
CO., Toledo, O.
We, the undersigned, have
known F. J. Cheney for the last 15
yeats, and believe him perfectly
honorable in all business transac
tions and financially able to carry
out any obligations made by his
.irm. Walding, Kinnan t

Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation.
I think they must have been
brought to the house with grocer
ies. Everything is kept clean and
in as good condition as is usually
found about a well-regulated house
and still they stay. We have tried
variors things in trying to get rid
of them. I s'ippose that fumigat
ing tl.c entire house with formalde
hyde would be effective. If you
can give me any simple method of
getting rid of them, I will be grate
fid !or the advice."
Professor Surface replied as fol
lows: "These pes'.s are quite persistent
invaders, and generally cannot be
exterminated by a single applica
tion. For this reason a combina
tion of methods U desirable. Pow
dered borax blown around cracks
I hey inhabit, especially around
damp places in the kitchen lions,
will help to drive them away.
Powdered sugar, one pa; t, and
plaster of Paris, two parts, mixed
together, will prove to be a good
remedy. One of the best remedies
is a proprietary substance sold on
the market under the name of
"Roach Paste" or "Roach Food."
I should avoid the phosphorous
poisons, ns they are dangerous to
use in the house. If the annoyance
caused by roaches should reach the
extreme limit and it be necessary
for you to fumigate, you can do
this safely with hydrocyanic acid
gas, although you will have to va
cate the rooms during the time of
the fumigation. I should not at
tempt to fumigate them with
formaldehyde, as I no not think this
would be efficient in destroying
roaches."

Gone Through the Rapids.
The following are some of the
persons who have gone through
the Rapids of Niagara River.
Some of them were killed in doing
it.
Robinson, Mclntyre and Jones
made the first known trip through
the rapids in a small steamer in
1 85 1.
Captain Matthew Webb, the fa
mous English swimmer, paid his
life as the penalty for his folly in
attempting to swim the rapids in
1 883.
Cai lisle 1). Graham, has gone
through the Rapids five times in a
barrel, and in 1901 swam the peri
lous course with the aid of life
preservers.
William J. Kendall, swam the
Rapils in 1S86.
C. Alexander Percy, made two
trips in a boat, the first in 1S87.
George Hazlitt and Sadie Allen
made the trip in a barrel in 1SS6.
Robert W. Flack attempted the
trip in a boat but drowned in 1889
Walter G. Campbell had a thrill
ing experience which almost cost
him his life in covering the course
in a boat in 1889.
F. M. Bowser covered the course
in a boat in 1900.
Peter Nissen made the third trip
in a boat in 1902.
Miss Maude Williard, weut
through the Rapids in a barrel but
was caught in the Whirlpool and
whirled around for six hours. She
died shortly after being rescued
from the barrel. This happened in
1902.
Mrs. Anna Taylor is the only
person who has ever gone over the
Falls and lived to tell the tale. She
accomplished this death-defying
feat iu 1 901, when she went over
the horse shoe falls in a barrel.
