Paris.-Scarcity of food is already
beginning to make itself acutely felt
in the larger German cities.
A large proportion of the German
population is purely industrial. Her
soil is too poor to support 65,OOO,0O0
inhabitants, and she now produces a
bare sufficiency of food.
The soil of Germany produces only
157,81O,O0O bushels of wheat Of the
242,22O,OOO bushels which are con-
sumed every year.
Thanks to the F'ranco-British

Bad E1ster has beautiful black mud
baths. People of fashion ooze into this
degradation and then have themselves
photographed. Such pictures are very
effective. A beautiful woman can give
no more perfect satisfaction to. her
girl friends than to send them pictures
of herself covered from head to foot in
this murky, oily muck. The stuff is
good for rheumatism and vanity.
Bad Elster is built upon a series OF
lily wooded hills. 1t is situated in
Saxony, almost upon the borders OF
Bohemia. A few hours ride from Ell
