WAR PRICES ARE AN
OUTRAGE IN AMERICA.

War price for food stuffs and in
fact every article in general use
at this time are absolutely uncalled
for, and can only be characterized
as an outrage against humanity.
The government has started an in
vestigatiem to fix the responsible
itv for the rapid rise in food stu ifs
and everyone devoutly hopes that
the guilty parties can be made to
spend few years behind prison
La1s.
High prices affect the pocket-bool
of every family and are especially
hard on the poorer classes. Men,
women and children are made to
suffer by, the greed o. speculators.
There-is ia limit as to what the
people will stand. When the thing
is over done thev generally find
way to throw off the shackles.
Commissions SHOULD be oppointed 20
regulate the price of necessities and
cut out the pernicious activities of
soulless speculat ors.

WHO ARE StAVS? WHO ARE TEU7ONS?

1t is often said that Sanskrit, spo-
ken by the old Brahmins, is the
root of all classes of tongues.
The ancestors Of most modern Eu
rcpeans ived together as one peo-
pie speaping the primeval Aryan tor
que i'm Central Asia.
Their separation took place at
so remote period that, while they
seem to have known gold, silver,
and copper, they were unacquainted
with iron.
The probable location of the Ar
yam nations was east of the Cas-
plan Sea. From this center success
i've migrations took place toward
the northwest. The first swarm form
ed the Celts who at one time occu-
pied a great part of Europe.
Later came the ancestors of Ital
iars, Greeks and the Teutonic peo-
pie.
The stream that formed the Slav
onlc nation is thought to have tax
en- the route by the north Of the
Caspian. Later the stock was bro
ken and part passed southwark,
and became the dominent race In
the valley of the Ganges.
