CIVIL WAR PRICES BEING APPROACHED BY STAPLE FOODS

This alleged un about old H. C. L. (high cost of living) is getting to be too serious a proposition to be appreciated now that a . resume of the present situation brings forth the fact that "near Civil war prices" are being paid for staple food stuffs right here in Richmond. Sugar, for instance, now quoted at $7.50 a barrel is bringing the same price that featured Civil war days back in 1862. And many other staples foodstuffs are quoted not far above the high water mark of the days of the "sixties." Advance In Last Year Especially during the past year have prices in food stuffs advanced. Wholesale and retail prices of such common staples as potatoes, cabbage, navy beans, flour, lard and fruits have doubled and even trebled in some instances during the past twelvemonth. A year ago today potatoes were wholesaling at sixty cents. The quotation today Is $1.30. Flour has aviated $6.20 to $8.60. Eggs are selling fully twenty-five percent higher this year. Price of cabbage had quadrupled, lemons, tripled. The following comparison of wholesale prices is alarming: Present Year Article price, ago. Cabbage, barrel $2 00 $ 50 Peaches, bushels 3 25 1 00 Lemons, box 7 50 3 00 Green beans, barrel.. 7 50 ' 50-75 Onions, 100 pounds.. 3 00 1 00 Potatoes, bushels ... 1 30 60 Sugar, pound 7.32 5.92 Apples, bushel 1 75 75 Navy beans, bushel.. 6 25 3 10 FLIES ARE CAUSE OF MUCH ILLNESS According to Dr. F. W. Krueger, county health officer, . the fly is responsible for the epidemic of intestinal disease which Is prevailing in Richmond at the present time. Dr. Krueger inspected the Chautauqua camp this morning and instructed the officials In the use of - the proper antiseptics to prevent the carrying of infection by the flies. Richmond physicians are reporting a great deal of intestinal trouble, and the number of flies and lack of protection against infection from them on the Chautauqua grounds might make the situation worse. Dr. Krueger also condemned the bucket of water and tin cup which were being used by the speakers and entertainers at Chautauqua. He ordered that individual drinking cups be provided. AGASSIZ COMPELLED PEOPLE TO THINK "Louis Agassiz, by teaching men to think for themselves, rendered them the finest intellectual service which any man can perform," declar ed Dr. Charles C.

CHEERFUL TEAGHER .BEST FOR SCHOOLS Speaking on "The Teachers Attitude" at the Chautauqua this after noon, Dr. Charles C. Ellis declared that the teacher should give spiritual companionship, and not only point the way to knowledge, but go toward it with the pupil "The teachers attitude determines the atmosphere of the school," he said. "Certain conditions necessary for the right attitude in the teacher are good digestion, mental poise, and a cheerful outlook." Citv Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

APPLY GOLDEN RULE TO LABOR DISPUTES DR. JORDAN ADVISES Declaring the trouble between labor and capital to be the result of mutual ill will and dishonesty, Dr. O. F. Jordan, speaking at the Chautauqua, said that the golden rule is the remedy for such disputes. "The capitalist is not willing to pay the laborer the wealth that he creates and the laborer tries to cheat the capitalist by giving a dishonest amount of work," he said. Dr. Jordan spoke on "Millionaires and Paupers," and discussed the proper use of money. Money given unscientifically for charitable purposes is an encouragement of fraud and dishonesty, he said.
