FOOD REMAINS CHEAP IN
THE CITIES OF ENGLAND
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF
PRICES HAS PREVENTED
BITTER ADVANCES

London (by mail) = Food is
cheap in Great Britain and in
some cases prices are actually
below those ruling before war
was declared. The Government
isregulating the price of all es
sentlal eatables and every few
DAYS a list is published showing
the maximum price which re-
tail store may charge. Sugar is
perhaps the most expensive com
modify at this time, the price
fixed being approximately Sets
pound as against Gets before the
war began. Fish is somewhat
more expensive, too, on account
of the restrictions in the North
Sea where disasters to shipping
due to mines has unnerved fisher
men.
Fruit is rotting In the markets
in the first place England enjoy
ed a bumper fruit crop, and ow-
ing to the high price of sugar
housewives are unable to pre-.
serve their usual complement. A
few pennies will buy a basket of
first.class fruit in London.
Smoked fish is cheap. Great
Britain smokes millions of her
rings every year aud tons of these
fish are annually exported. These
are now on the market in vast
quantities.
Meat is little above normal
quotations. Cereals are practi-
cally unchanged In price COM
pared with those obtaining be-
fore the war commenced.
Restaurants have not advanced
their prices.
Should a retail store charge
above those allowed by the gov
eminent figures, the stores are
siezed by the officials.
Dairy products are cheap and
have not advanced in price.

WOODEN CARS
DISAPPEARING

The wooden passenger car is
going rapidly out of commission.
1t is being superseded by the
steel car, which is more lasting
and which is a safer medium of
travel.
Railway statistics show that
only a little over 80 of the pas
senger cars built dnring the year
1913 we're of wooden construc-
tion. All railroads must be
equipped with steel postal cars
by 1915, and in a few years the
wooden coach will be seen on
few, if any, roads. On Jan.I1,
1909, there were only 629 steel
passenger cars in service. On
Jan. 1, 1918, the number had in.
creased to 1871. On the same
date 3, 1896 steel under. frame cars
were in service as compared with
673 on Jan. l, 1909.
The substitution of steel for
wood in the construction of pas
senger coacher is very costly to
railroads. Steel cars cost some
thing like $4,000 a car. They |
last longer. however, and are less
susceptible to injury. They also
inspire confidence in the travel
ing public.-Louisville Courier
Journal.
