WASHINGTON,—George Washing
ton paid less than half as much for
food as the average American of to
day pays. An old expense account
kept by George Washington, recently
discovered, shows items of expense on
account of food for the day of July 4,
1716. The items compare with present
day prices are as follows;
Beg of Mutton, Washington paid $1.
26 present price $3.00
Loin of Veal, Washington paid $106
present prices $3.00
Roasting piece of Beef, Washington
paid $1.63 present prices$3.00
Cabbage, bee t3 and beans, Washing
ton paid $1.32 present prices $1.20
Peas Washington paid .43 present
prices $1.50
Potatoes, Washington paid .43 pres
ent prices.60
Blackball and Lobster, Washington
paid 1.30 present prices $4.50.
1 rices on both Washington's and ihi
modern b.Il of fare are for food cooke i
. nd served.
Tlie Fathc r of His Country has a
nother expense item from tlie original
Fourth of July. “To mending tin
Chariot, $5.00." It is difficult to arrive
at a modern garage equivalent, bu
in all probability the repairs would
have entailed Bonding to Detroit for a
new part, so that item, too, may safely
be boosted up two of three hundred
per cent.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
HEALERS JUSTIFIED
BY THE SCRIPTURES
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—In a brief that
has been filed in the supreme court
by Attorney General Webb of Califor
nia and District Attorney Woolwine
of Los Angeles, in the support of the
constitutionality of California law ex
empting Chrisiiiart Science and oilier
' pruyer practitioners" from exaniina- j
tlon before medical boards, the court
was referred to 46 Bible quotations
which, the California attorneys dc- |
clare, proved that “healing by prayer
or a3 a part of the practice of a relig
ion was ample justification in the
Scriptures." It was stated that 17
Oiher states give similar exceptions
and an order of former President Taft
provided a similar exception in ttie
Panama Canal Zone was cited.
Christian Science practitioners, the
brill suites, should not be classed with
drugless healers, such as osteopaths,
chiropractors and neuropaths who
must undergo examination for license
in California.
The law is being attacked by a I .os
Angeles drugless healer who is not a
Christian Scientist. The case is ex
pected to come up for argument some
ume in the latter part of November or
ho first part of December. _

mendation of the Secretary otAgre
culture and Interior and the Smith
sonian Institution, establishing the
