COST UP AS
PER CENT IN BRITAIN
Means Billion Dollar Increase
Since War Began-Laborers
Still Able to Meet Bills.

London. June S.-There is no halt In
the advance in the cost OF living in
England. The index figures in the Lon
don Statist show that the average in
crease in prices of foodstuffs since the
beginning of the war Is 43 per cent.
This represents ar increase OF about
$1,000, 000, 900 in the sum expended for
food since August 1. The .disconcert-
ing thing about these figures to the
English student of statistics is that
n greater part of the profit from
higher prices will accrue to farmers
In foreign countries, whereas 100 years
ago, during the Napoleanic wars, prac-
tcally the whole OF the advantage of
the high prices then current was
reaped by British farmers and land
owners
In normal times, a great rise In
prices checks consumption, but so far
as England is concerned the present
advance has failed to do this, the enor-
nous war expenditure having brought
much additional income to the indus
trial classes. with the result that the
purchasing power Of the mass of peo-
pie has Increased more than sufiici-
emily to provide for the advance in
the cost of living. Consequently there
a been no reduction in consump-
ton. In fact, the consumption of food
In recent months has shown expan-
sion rather than contradiction.

GET POWER
Tho Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by selecting food that
exactly fits the requirements OF the
body.
Not knowing how to select the right
food to fit my needs, I suffered griey-
ously for a long time from stomach
trouble" writes a lady from a little
Western town.
1T seemed as If I would never be-
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything that
l could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. I got thin
ner and thinner until I literally be-
came a living skeleton and in time was
compelled to keep to my bed.
"a few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I kept up its use. I was surprised
at the ease with which I digested it. II
proved to be just what I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain, disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from SO
to 116 lbs my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now able
to do my homework and enjoy it.
Grape-Nuts did it,"
A ten days trial will show anyone
some facts about food.

London, June S.-Although no Of
fetal accounts have been, received Of
the recent fighting in the Baltic sea
between Russian and German war
ships, a Petrograd dispatch indicates
that II came as the result of a German
attempt to land troops along the Gulf
Of Riga. 1t Is reported several Ger

were sunk and that the Russians lost
an auxiliary. Apparently the Russian
and German battle squadrons were not

Details Of his sea encounter are
meager but it is surmised in London
that some of the German vessels con-
centrated at Kiel. came out into the
Baltic. It Is quite clear, however, that
no heavy squadrons were engaged as
the fighting was in no sense decisive:
