COST OF LIVING WILL
CERTAINLY INCREASE
If WAR CONTINUES

The cost of living has been steadily
advancing for some years past; and
the worst of it is, wages have not ad-
vanced in proportion, at least not IN
all lines of work.
Now that the European War is we'll
under way, with a prospect of con-
tinuing for some months at least, we
must count on still higher prices for
food5tuffs, especially meat.
There is one staple article of diet
that will not be advanced at present
and not at all unless the price of
raw material absolutely forces higher
prices. We refer to H-O Oatmeal.
The H-O Company has reputation for
fair and square dealing that spells
protection to the consumer.
H-O Oatmeal is an excellent substi-
tute for meat, and will even take the
place of bread to a considerable eX-
tent. Made from selected oats, H-O
Oatmeal is rich in gluten and other
food properties.
Comparatively few people know that
.H-O is the only Oatmeal that is cooked
in the mill; it is the only STEAM
COOKED Oatmeal on the market.

AUTUMN MAIDS CLOTHES
BESPANGLED WITH BUTTONS
(By Margaret Mason)

The Autumn Maid is military mad,
Her autumn clothes are military

In frogs and buttons she'll be fierce

And yards and yards of shiny gold

She'll lay dire siege to every fellows

Till he surrenders to her dashing

And then, a captive to her warlike
art,
At her command he'll gladly "Pre-

The dashing military capes are per-

The penchant for gold braid, how
ever, cannot be blamed entirely on
the war along with the high cost Of
LIVING, for it takes the form of cray
ing for all sorts of metalized trim
mings and embrOideries worn on
street costumes as well as on even

way, are mere wisps Of net or lace

being cut low and V-shaped in front

of wide black tulle pleating that looked

Naturally, the stage held little Of
