Dee. 8, 1916. 
Governor McCaut, has acted wisely in appointing at 
this time a commission to investigate the high cost of liv- 
ing. There are many reasons why prices of certain staple 
articles should increase, but it is evident to everyone that 
many prices are artificial, inflated by skilful manipulators. 
A commission was appointed some years ago which made 
a voluminous report on the same subject. It accomplished 
little else. There is no reason why such a commission 
should not be able to do an effective and desirable piece 
of work. This has ceased to be a poor man’s problem 
alone. 
Tue Mayor oF BEverLty, Hon. Herman A. Macdon- 
ald is in the field for re-election and will probably be re- 
elected next Tuesday. He has given the city a clean 
government, and one good term deserves another. The 
city has now at its head a trained man who has the con- 
fidence of everybody for his honesty, and integrity. Why 
saould there be a change? 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 9 
Tuere Was a Nove, but sane campaign in New 
York last week called the “open window week” and a 
quadrillion of microbes and germs met their deathi. 
Nearly fire million windows were opened during the week 
and a thorough ventilation of rooms and stores resulted. 
Science has long known that sunshine and fresh air are 
the most valuable health agents known to man. New 
York has seen fit to act upon commonly recognized health 
necessities. 
Tur Boston HeraAtp in an editorial early in the 
week intimates the possibility of a no-license vote this 
year in that city. Twice within a generation Boston has 
cast a “‘no” vote nearly large enough to carry the city. If 
the city does go “no” this year it will be universally con- 
ceded that it has been due to the influence of Billy Sun- 
day. Boston will then have the distinction of being the 
largest no-license city in the United States, Detroit now 
enjoying that honor.
