HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Harry Roskowick, Markham Clerk,
Nearly Drowned Yesterday.

Harry Roskowick, the popular
night clerk at the Markham hotel,
had a narrow escape from drowning
yesterday morning while swimming.
With Nick Burns operating a launch,
Roskowick was being lowed by
hanging onto a rope. When they
had gone out into the lake quite
a ways the waves became high and
Roskowick let go of the rope. His
lungs had taken in considerable
water and it was with considerable
difficulty that he finally reached. the
boat and then only when it had been
stopped by the tow rope winding
around the propeller. He had to be
lifted into the boat. Roskowick is
an exceptional swimmer and athlete
and this fact is believed to have
been all that kept him from drown
ing sssee - = 1@'. - r.

War Department Figures Show That
Each Soldier is Given Thirty Cents
: W

GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE HAND
Banking Resumption Necessary for
Foreign Trade-0rdinary Instru-
ments of Credit Worthless.
By Congressman G. H. Tavenner.


Washington, August 24.-Who
said high cost of living. Prices may
be skyrocketing in all parts of the
United States, but the War depart
ment does not know about it. The
latest annual report of the chief of
the quartermaster corps shows that
it costs Uncle Sam just fraction
under 30 cents to feed a soldier one
day
The principal of the operation en-
ables the government to keep the
individual cost of food per soldier
much under what it costs the pri-
vate citizen to eat, and yet the gov
eminent buys food supplies from the
same sources which furnish to- the
public at exorbitant prices,
The government buys in large
quantities at bed rock contract
prices The average soldier is pro-
badly fed better than the average
working man in this country. Yet
it is done on 80 cents a day. So
cheaply can Uncle Sam buy food
that he is able to serve an elaborate
dinner to the commercial public
stopping in the hotels at Panama for
80 cents.
If the food trust continues to
make the American public pay
war tribute in the cost of food, the
government may yet be compelled
to turn to it's own experiences to
give relief to the people. If the gov
eminent can keep it's own soldiers
fed for less than thirty ceits day
it ought to be able to do the same
thing for all the people. Many of
the European nations have already
been compelled by war to take the
food supply in their hands, and II
famine prices are to be reflected in
America our own government may
be compelled to adopt a similar.

TEN as we'll, Without system of

The present paralysis of the inter-

the ordinary instruments of credit
are worthless. One merchant on
one side of the ocean cannot draw

there is no way of realizing on bills

once did it pass the place where
Whitney met his death and in the
