Evidence of the upward exten sion of the cost of living problem may be found in the $7,000,000 de crease in the value of the diamonds imported during the last eleven months as compared with the cor responding period for 1910, iu the $3,000,000 decrease in champagne importations and in the diminish ed imports of silks, laoes and dressed furs. ; V ' " These figures reveal the pinch of economy among consumers of lux uries. The' value of the works of art imported increased, it is true, from $20,333,333 to $21,500,000. . But naintines and objects of art have a recognized investment val- The point for the Tenderloin's concern is not merely the 20 per cent, reduction in the imports of diamonds but the 50 per cent de- . crease in the amount of foreign champagne entered. j This is an economy with a seri ous aspect ' It threatens a curtail ment of revenue for lobster palaces and allied industries and foreshad ows a period of depression in the night life of the town: A decrease in the visible supply of champagne "-y more than 1,000,000 bottles, anJHhis in the face of a proposed State tax orf every bottle consum ed, will directly discourage wine opening." V ' .','' " An ultimate effect of he picch of the problem of living in these quarters will no doubt be to hast en measured for relief.

N, Y. World. PATRIOTISM AND SANITY. The approach of one of our na tional holidays, the Fonrth of July, is again calling for that an nual reform, a sane Fourth. It is t oinrrnjar fact that the general . . ptauce of 9 holiday, calls for .n occasion of irrational doings. And couple the holiday with an extra event of national significan ce, such as the Fourth of July, 'and there is a celebration not of real fun and seasonable enjoyment, but of unbridled license and dis order. ' ' ' ,.: . . An occasion for a display of patriotism, which evolves the pa triot, has more saneness in it than the after celebration of this same event. Great deeds wrought by men on the spur of the moment for their country were not insane ly inspired, but had the noblest noil purest motives to urge mnn to their performance. And yet years afterwards, succeeding gen erations cannot sanely . celebrate the memory of these men. .' ' . " The very harshness and nnreas- nnableuefls'in the observance of our Fourth of July celebration, are enough to lead to non observance of the Otorious Fourth, that is now a day of physical and material destruction. The record is a ter ribl! ouc, for in the past eight is, 1,700' persons have been 1, 37,500 injured, and millions ollars worth of property des- re is no sanity in this, no tit lesson to the youth that i to limb, life and property highest appreciative way to :,nd express Amrican pat Kuther is the observance . t.iclo of barbarism that " ' ; but r 1 J ;. - ( ' l . ri-jj j ALCOHOL 3 PElt v.khv AVcgetablePreparationrorik similaiinOttKFnnif.milRpdito ting tlte Siomacbs aadBowias of '' mis Promotes Digpslwflmfiir' ness and RestContalns neitlur Opiura-Marphine norMinaaLI HOTHAHCOTIC. .- i .I - '.
