NECESSARIES
Are Greatly Increased in
Price Because OF the
War.

Tho war with Spain is costing the
American working men much. Pacticu-
larry is the Wilmington laboring man aid
mechanic affected. The leading food pro-
Duets and all the substantial neccSsaries
of life are costing more o them, while the
luXuries which can be secured only by the
wealthy, 50 far as values go, are practically
the same as they always were.
II is the hard workers, who with their
families manage to scrape together 50 10
so n week for rent, clothing, food and
medicine, who arc being pinched by tho
so-callel war prices" and conditions,
ana they feel it kcenly enough. but find it
use ess to murmur. Yet it is generally
agreed by those in a position to now tho
warts not raising prices, but the food
gamblers and spectators, who, under this
active expert inquiry. are realizing mil
liOns OF dollars by corDering the grain
aud provision markets and putting up the

The bread question is now momentous
one. Flour has gone up but most of the
bakers were we'll stocked in this CON-
munity at the old figure before the rise
took place. Bread has not advanced in
price, that would be unpopular; but the
bakers loaf has been cut down ia weight,
several ounces. This may seem trfling,
but when it Is known hat over 5000 loaves

sh!inkage assumes in tho aggregate ire
mendous proportion, and in dollars and
cents tho figures show gain for tho
bakers and u loss to the bread winners OF

The purchase CT meats and provisions
for the army and navy by the Government
is the excuse given by the spectators tor

The additional cost of meat alone makes an
interesting calculation.
As the figures go, it Is estimated that
each barrel of -four Of 1876 pounds contains
Az bushels of wheat Bakers figure to pro-
GuCc go One-pound loaves OF bread from
every barrel Of flour There arc three
grades of the latter. and many bakers mix
these. Flour yesterday cost 81 60, $40,
ana $50 Il barrel, according to grade.
Basel upon years Of investigation, the
bost sta istical Information Ohtainable
proves that the annual consumption of
Hour III the United States Is 4 90 bushels
per capita. The proportion is much larger
III some localities than in others. The IN
crease is noticeable in tho large cities, and
in Ph!ladc!ph the annual consumption
Is ~ bushels, or barrel of tlouT por
capita.
Statistics show that every barrel of -four
contains four aud onc-hulf bushels Of
wheat. The price paid for the latter at
this time is abnormaily high. But with
wheat ~ 81 % per bushel and flour at
$3.50 per barrel, this means cost to tho
miller of 81 - per barrel, while the baker
for his 22O loaves gets IS 50 from tho re-
taller for tho 81 80 he pays for the -four.
These figures are to be applied only, of
course, where the baker is forced to buy
flour at the increased rate, as n large mum
Der bought in their stock before the war

The Day Of Judgment. Matt. vs.: 81 l8.
Read Mask 25 and and Rev. 90 Golden
Text-"And no shall reward every man 40.
cording to his works.'. Matt. 10: 81.
When Jesus shall come in His glory, and
all his holy angels with Him, then shall
He sit upon the throne Of His glory: Aud
before Him shall be gathered all nations:
and He shall separate them one from an.
other, as shepherd divides his sheep from
the goats.
This judgment Is according to their
treatment Of the Lords brethren, which
seems to be the Jews. The nations that
have ministered 10 one OF the least of these
will hear the saviour say. Come, 20
blessed OF My Father. inherit the King
dom prepared for you from the foundation
Of the world" And those who have not
ministered to His brethren, will hear Him
say, depart from Me, ye cursed. into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and
his angels"
This judg ment does not seem to DO for
Heaven, for that has been given freely and
without merit, to all those who 'believe
in the name Of the only begotten Son Of
God,' as it Is recorded: "Whosoever be-
lieveth IN Him should not perish but have
everlasting life."
And this Judgment seems to differ
from the Great White Throne" In Rev.
W. Iof tniS one appears TO ne OF lYlng per.
SONS at the coming Of the Lord, with his
saints. after the first resurrection; thou
sand years before tho second resurrection
and Judgment Of the unbslieving de ad,
whose sentence Is the second death. the
lake of fire
There appear to be several judgments
mentioned In the Scriptures all the de-
tails of which are not very plain, but this
much Is very plain: that unless we believe
in our heart, during this life, on Him
whom God has sent and has raised from
the dead, our names will not be in His
Book of Life: and we shall hen he among
those who are cast into the lake of fire, for
God has said 1T.
And it Is equally truo. that If we have re-
ceived Him, He has given US the privilege
to become tho children of God; and we
may now have he blessed Hope that
our Lord Himself shall descend from
Heaven. und the dead in Christ shall rise
first and then we who are alive and re-
main shall be caught up together with
them to meet Him, and DO forever with
Him.
And we arestold to comfort one another
with these words" and THAT we shall not
come into condemnation" ard I've may
have boldness in the day of Judgment"
because we are more than Conquerers
through Him that loved us.
