RISE IN FOOD PRICES
 SHOWN BY FIGURES

When Chris Colias went forth into the markets of Birmingham yesterday to purchase supplies for his restaurant, he became wrathy. The further he went, the greater was his anger, until finally he made his way back to the American Trust and proceeded to tell re- porter and bank officials what he thought of prevailing prices.
 He said it was an outrage that in Birmingham, over 5000 miles from the war. that unpleasant sit- uation was seized upon to increase prices like these which he quoted:
 New Recent
 Price. Price.
 Cents Cents. Ham ....................- 5O 2i12 Bacon .................... S Lamb .................... 10 S-lO Pork loin (chops) ...... 171z 12 Beef loin ................ IS lz13 Butter .................... 5z11 70 FEES ..................... zS 70 l6rd ...................... lS Some of these prices" he ex- date back short time, but the first list is substantially what I pay wholesale. If I must pay that price. the housekeeper must add the retail profit onto these quota tions. It is shame. and I am astonished that the situation is permitted to continue.

Snapdraaon and Halloween.

Many of our Halloween customs
come to us from England and Scotland,
and a most popular one is called the
"snapdragOn,' which is brought In
when refreshments are served, gen
orally at the last before leaving the
table. The lights are all turned out
and the platter containing the snap
dragon is brought in. Why 1t Is thus
named ! know not. but it is made this
way: Place large table raisins quite
closely and evenly on the platter, sprin-
kle with salt and cover with good al
cohol. Just before bringing in light
the alcohol and a most CHASTITY green
ish white light will be the result. Pass
1t around the table. and each guest Is
to try to grab a raisin from the fame.
Now, don't ask me why and wherefore
regarding this strange custom, for |
do not know; only. my earliest recol-
lections Of a Halloween party, and l
regret to say that it is many years
ago. we had a snapdragon. and an
English lady told me how to make 1t.
Sometimes ghost stories are told while
