Meredith's Remedy is Easy.
The new secretary ot agriculture, Mr. lalwiu
I. Meredith, signalizes his advent by proposing
again the only known remedy for the present
high cost of everything. It is simply to dispose
of all needless employes in public or private,
service, releasing them for use in essential in
dustries where labor shortage is now so great a
factor in production cost. Jf he will only set
the example at Washington, the pay roll of the
Department of Agriculture will be greatly de
creased, the service will suffer bttle, and a lot
of clerks will be made available for po-itiuns
where they can be much more helpful to so
ciety. Mr. Meredith has the right idea. Work
is the only solution, for until the supply is
eipial to the demand, cost of living will be

Undress Dress and the Flu.
Here is a Daniel come to judgment. Ope of
the doctors connected with Pasteur institute in
Paris, from which emanates the announcement
nf an efficacious arts flu serum, says the undress
dress of the fashionable woman is really con
ducive to health. Tt exposes the surface to the
air, and induces healthy operation of the
elimiuative function of the skin. A lot of old
! fogies, who go round bundled up like an Fsqui-
maii, have felt that the women were inviting
co1d, pneumonia, bronchitis and lot of other
unpleasant things, when as a matter of fart they
have been warding off such visitations, and
members ; doing it all because they felt they were dressing
in accordance to fashion's whims and without
regard to hygienic consideration whatsoever.
Perhaps, now that they have scientific justifica
tion for leaving off all they dare, the devotees
of style will go the other way and pile on a
lot of things they aie now doing without. On
tins point mere man may think what: he like,
and save his breath by saying nothing, for the
!ad-e? will continue to dress a bet suns themselves.

i Do vou remember, sii or ma'am, those days
no-., g.nie am! sped, when bather rose at 5 a. m.
and ropse-l you trom your bed to go ami feed
the bawling rows their morning chops and bay
; and from their fertile persons to extract the
1 nnlk away. Ten rents a gallon was a price you
hardly hoped to get. Those days were good,
j hut do you wish that thev weie with us yet?
Recall the odor of that barn, the presence of
i the tlies, the speed with which old Rrindlr's tail
i could swipe vou in the eyes? Remember the
impulsive cow: who kit ked you through the roof
j unless you took a rope and tied her enterprising
i hoot? l'hoe were the days, the good old days
! forever gone to pot. Put would you wish them
j hack again? Say, I'ardner, 1 do not.
j I'd rather pay what Corli-s wants for every
j quart ot nnlk. I'd lather dress his women folks
m tme imported silk. I'd tather yield a tiarter
! 'en a little taste of cream and let him pail tho-e
I cow s by eleetrii ity "r steam. What though the
j milkman waxes rich and buttermakers thrive?

j hi ami. Hurrah for everything he sells that's
! bntibd, boxed or canned. I'll let him bring it
every day preset ved on cakes of ice and will
not murmur, beci or yell or kirk about the
price. I swear to you I've always kept a cer
tain rliibhsh vow: "When I grow up, so help
me ,oi, i ii never miik a cow.
