Life on. ia Gents a Day.

One of the most painful effects of the war in Germany Is the throwing out of employment of thousands of Protestant clergynen. Their parishes are broken up by the severing of families and the general movement onward to larger towns, and they are thus dependent by hundreds on the bare charity of their neighbors, or the pittarce which comes from public funds. They have not the meager all lowance of IS cents a day. which wo- men receive who are wives, mothers or sisters of soldiers. with half that amount for each child. but these clergymen's families must exist on al- most nothing.
 While IS cents may seem q small allowance to Americans. we must re- member that soups, black bread. and cabbage so sicng way to sustain life, although such articles as eggs and other semi-luxuries have a tendency to mount up in price. In Hamburg an egg costs 25 cents.-The Cristian Her
