In 1909, one hundred years ago, sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. The five leading causes of death in the United States were pneumonia and influenza, tuberculosis, diarrhea, heart disease, and stroke. The American flag has 45 stars. There were 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads, and the maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. </blockquote>
