cry, will pamper them. The infants soon realize that all they need to do to attract attention is to cry. This trait continues through the kindergarten age and the infant becomes a so-called .'cry-baby.'. . In the age "of adolescence it commences dimly to realize that it does not measure up to
the standard of its playmates and it either becomes a recluse or a braggart. From this point it is only a
step to real Insanity." This may or may not be exaggerated. But whether exaggerated or not certain it is that a pampered child gets the worst of it all through life. It is obliged by hard knocks from the world, with which the most guarded

place of the parents to teach it firmly but gently in the home.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Every week or so the newspapers
specially the democratic and socialistic newspapers, get out an Imposing array of figures, purporting to show that, the cost of living at this time le such and such a percentage higher
than the corresponding month a year
or two years ago.
We are now confronted by figures
compiled by the Bureau of Labor, which set forth that pork chops from
being fourteen cents a pound during
October, 1911, jumped to twentycents, sirloin steak from sixteen, to twenty-four cents, rib roast . front sixteen cents to twenty-four cents in October, 1912, bacon remained "'the game," ham went up a cent a pound, etc., etc., ad lib and ad infin. All of which proves all manner of things detrimental to somebody or other. Far from denying the increased cost of living, we regretfully affirm it. We can remember ourselves when pork chops could be bought for ten cents a pound, when sirloin steak sold at sixteen and rib roast ten. We remember coffee at twenty-five cents a pound which was reserved for company. But our memory is long. It covers a period of well, we would hate to say just how long, but
some few years at any rate. And we have to stretch our memory away back to childhood's happy hours, to call to mind the ten cents a pound pork chops, the sixteen cent sirloin steak and the ten cent rib roast. And we have a vague feeling that some of these steaks and roasts came off the horns, at that. We cannot however remember any of those fortunate prices prevailing in recent . years, far less in last October. Perhaps they did in some happy clime, but not in the vicinity of Lake County, Indiana. Moreover, who remembers bacon ever being "the same?" Even our long and flexible memory
fails to reach far enough back into the distant past to recollect bacon being "the same." Nix. The statistics compilers will have to come across with something
is no part of Chicago between which and the Calumet region cities, there as so much intercourse as between the latter and South Chicago. . Undoubtedly the ca3es in Whiting, and Stieglitz park had their origin in South Chicago. The health officials
of both East Chicago and Whiting
should make inquiries In the house

prior to their illness, and an investigation should be Instituted among such as dwell within the towns in which the patients reside, with a
view to ascertaing whether or not
there may be other cases, not report

kept over those who have been exposed by coming in contact with the
patient since illness began, and be

cities minimize epidemics.

he held until he was elected delegate to Congress from Arizona in the Fiftieth Congress, the term beginning in 1887. He served as a delegate through eight terms and the most of his time was employed in pressing the claims of Arizona for admission to the Union. From the beginning of his career Jlr. Smith had been a Democrat. So when Arizona finally achieved her desire to become a State It was but natural that the Democratic party, being in control of the legislature, should bestow upon Mr. Smith the honor of becoming one of the first two United States senators from the new State.

THE LATEST IN SLANG.
We can't just recall what was the
pat word or slang phrase a year ago; and we should worry as to what will be up-to-date twelve months hence. But no matter what has been, or may come ,the present popular "I Should Worry" wave is in a class by itself. Other slang words like "skiddoo," "twenty-three" and "O you," served their purpose in a hit or miss way. They were frothy' and mechani, and today they are stale and junk. Not so with "I Should Worry" the watchword for 1913. If we must have our latest by-words like our latest songs, we have a little classic
just now. It has that which few of its predecessors have had, an effect on the speaker and the hearer. The
motto is the national pacifier and sedative today. The very utterance of it gives an inward satisfaction that is refreshing. Nerves that are raw and exposed, relax Instinctively. The whole system reacts under the spell of these magic words. If any one doubts that "I Should Worry" sets the face muscles for a smile, and the slow even accents give that inner peace of which pulpiteers frequently speak so unconvincingly, let that Thomas try their effect as he rides on one of the flat wheeled South
. Hohman street cars feeling sorry for
the poor company. There by the way was the original "I Should Worry Corporation."
