AUGUST 9, THE COST OF LIVING AS OTHERS D0 Everyone agrees that it costs more to live than it did twenty years ago, but opinions differ as to the cause. There are many causes, but one at the most iniportnnl. is that our expenses have grown without needs. Invention has supplied all sorts of new facilities that have become necessities to most of us, and they all cost money. Moreover, in a democratic society, where all are sup- posed to be equal, we do not like to be outdone by our neighbors, and, urged by this feeling, we push up our expenditures so as to be sure that we have what others have, > The trouble begins at the bottom. The young man <entering business, with his living to earn and his way to make, should save every penny, live narrowly, and avoid display, if he wishes to succeed. Yet, the fashion of expendi- ture about him, in amusement, in dress, in social relations, are such that it takes exceptional strength of character to refuse to comply with it. . The didiculty is even greater when a man marries and has A family. It is not always easy to deny yourself, but to deny those dear to you is almost impossible. A man does not like to see his wife‘ dress less handsomely than the wives of his associates. He even tells himself that her good appearance helps his business reputation. Still harder it is to refuse things that seem to be necessary for the welfare of your children. “Really," says mother, “living the way we live, I cannot see why Jane cannot have all 12 West Lancaster Phone Hanging Neat, llalitly and Clean, Come and see them.

Thereupon Jane gets them, and the father wonders how he is to pay, The pity of it is that usually not one of them, father‘ mother or child, really cares. They simply “must do as others do.” And so the dance goes on. Xvhat remedy? There is no ‘general remedy. You must apply reason and common sense to each indi. vidual case. At least keep a little behind the rush instead or a little in front or it. Then, when ‘n badiday comes, others will wish they had done as you did. If your neigh. bor gets an automobile and your children clamor for the like, get a runabout instead of a touring car. If your daughters have fewer frocks and cheaper music lessons than theirfriends around the corner, that is better than ending with no frocks and no lessons at all. ' Let us keep our heads in this matter. The man who does not is infallibly dgiven, sooner or later, to the terrible question men arejslting all over this country to-day, "With my income, how can I live as I am living ?" To this ques. tion there can be only one answer, live differently.-Youtlfs Companion. HANDS OFF THE PARCEL POST Real reforms rarely go backward, and the members at Congress who are showing a disposition to halt the progress of the parcel post system might as well make up their minds now as later that the people will not stand for that sort of thing. It took along and hard light to bring about the introduction of the system, but the moment that it was accomplished it was well understood that the business had 'come to stay and that it was to be improved and perfected from time to time.

Phone 792 x In the bill creating the parcel post system the Post. master General was given authority to make changes in the regulations after submitting the same to‘the Interstate Commerce Commission. In the beginning the fiercest tight against this big business reform came directly from the express companies. Now the railroads have joined in‘ the struggle to prevent the extension of the system, and they are protesting to Senators and Representatives,and are preparing to lodge a formal complaint before the Interstate Commerce Commission. They say that they receive fifty per cent. of the money collected by the express companies for the car- riage of packages and predict that they will lose from $15,000,. ooo tn sao.ooo,ooo a year if the Government is permitted to increase the maximum limit on the size of packages asl proposed by the Postmaster General. l The railroads have undoubtedly been having their oviin troubles during the last few years. There has been adis- position in some quarters to be unreasonable with them. In a general way we confess to a certain amount of sympathy with them, but we believe that they are making a mistake in opposing this reduction of rates and the consequent expanr sion of the parcel post system. That system came into being as a result of the extortions of the express companies and in response to a popular demand. The Government is Mmmi" R A is something you wish to wear more than a day.
