After the elapse Of ten days or a

plague reported in New Orleans two
new cases have developed. according to
reports Of Surgeon W. c. Rucker, in

to the public health service This
demonstrates that plague, apparently
suppressed among humans, is likely to
break out again through the agency Of
rats.
The public health service concurs in
the view OF the city of New Orleans
that there is no reason for visitors to
avoid that city for fear Of contracting g
plague. The situation is we'll In hand.
despite the Likelihood of sporadic cases.
The plague Is seldom communicated

How the War Affects Us.
xxxv.-As to Groceries.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The instant effect Of the war on food
prices in the United States was most
manifest In the items of sugar ana
wheat -four. Much has been written
about them, and much is known ABOUT
them that no housewife needs to reao.
The institution of war prices for 1000
products has occasioned much contro-
versy, and it is undoubtedly true tnat
some prices were put up because II
was necessary and some prices were
put up to extort war profits.
The President early directed the De-
partment OF Justice to take steps 70
prevent such extortion, and IN the
capital of the nation this has areauy
resulted in the indictment OF commis.
sion merchants. who are accused OF
com mbining to control the prices OF OF
produce. Similar action Is expected IN
many states, under state laws. put IN
the meantime there is no apprectao pie
of food prices In most parts
In New York. Mayor Mitchell or

ganized a citixens' committee to in
vestigate the whole subject. One re-
suit OF the publicity campaign tnsti-
tuted by that committee is shown in
the report made last week, showing
that there had been no appreciable ad-
vance in many staple articles of food.
This result was very largely brought
about by the establishment of free
markets under

notwithstanding these federal. state
and municipal activities to prevent the
needless extortion of war profits, it
cannot be denied that many articles
that may be grouped under the general
name Of groceries have been ad-
vanced.
Leaving aside sugar and flour. the
war has had a direct effect on many
things. We get our currants from
Greece. our dates from Persia, citron
from Italy, Sultana raisins and pack
ed hgs from Smyrna. shelled almonds
from Spain, flberts from Sicily and
walnut meats from France. While most
Of these articles do not originate In

ticles are always low at this season OF

will soon disappear entirely from our
markets.
A considerable advance in prices is
noted In sardines. Our foreign supply
comes largely from France and Nor
way. The Norwegians are hampered
by the hostilities in the North sea, and
the expectation of food supplies from
France has been prohibited. No sar-
dimes have been coming in for some
time, and many shipments afioat were
detained In England. In addition to
these war conditions. there had been
very poor sardine fishing for six
months before the war. Domestic
sardines will undoubtedly reflect the
increased prices.
Many fancy vegetables are imported
from France. Canned mushrooms
French peas and sliced green bea.s o.
nate in France. Their production has
been absolutely stopped by the war and
as stocks were low prices are very
high. In a few months these articles
are expected to disappear from the
market.
Cream Of tartar has advanced more
than 100 per cent on account Of the
cessation Of the supply of raw mater
ial. Cream Of tartar IL made from the
lees of wine or argols, practically all
of which are obtained from the wine
making districts of France and Ger

and for six weeks shipments OF foreign
rice were almost entirely stopped. As
the market was carrying very light
stock prices were advanced. but an
early decline Is expected on account OF
the receipt of consignments from the

which / appeal as treasurer is cause
which should find warm response IN
the hearts of all Americans doubly
blessed in their isolation and detach--
ment from the vortex of horrors and
bloodshed and agony Of the battlefields
in Europe. 1t is an effort organized with
the approval and support of some of our
most respected and representative citi-
zens to capitalize portion of our Christ
mas bounty and good will in behalf or
the most afflicted and destitute OF Bel
GUMS stricken population. No matter
how numerous and insistent the appeals
for aid, Americans, l feel sure, will not
refuse to subscribe to a Fund which will
help during the Christmas season to
spread a ray of sunshine over the nome
less refugees of storm-tossed country.
This Dollar Christmas Fund appeals to
one and all irrespective of creed or race
and more especially to those who have
not yet contributed to any existing fund
1t is in complete sympathy with every
other appeal in behalf Of Belgian refu-
gees and differs from other appeals only
in the sense that the total sum received
will be forwarded as a special Christmas
contribution from the people of this
country to the destitute people of Bel
GUM, an expression of sympathy with
sorrow from one people TO another ana
a tangible proof that Christmas good,
will even in these days of strife and
bloodshed has not disappeared from the
earth. -
1t is estimated that close upon 2,oo0ooo
people with breaking hearts have fled
from their country leaving shattered
homes and hopes behind. The flight of
the innocent, the unfortunate. the women
and children, the aged and helpless, from
their Fatherland presents one of the
most agonizing and appalling pictures OF
human misery in the annals of history
ancient or modern. Such gift VIII
surely be remembered by the benefic-
iafies long after the war has ceased and
no mans Thanksgiving or Christmas
day will be the less happy because in
some cases the gift may entail some
measure of personal sacrifice.

At one time it was attributed to Cap

reciting it at a banquet in New " DIRK,

Later 1t was attributed to Rodney

Montreal Herald. A letter of inquiry
on the subject addressed to the Herald
