THOSE POOR RICH PEOPLE

Pity the poor milliOnaireSi
 For the frugal wife, five cents now buys as big a loaf as it did two years ago, but $1,000 doesn't buy as big a blue foXski1- coat-no, not by half.
 The boiled potatoes on the modest dinner table are rather cheaper than they were last winter; but when the poor millionaires are driven by ne- cessity to buy white fox furs, hubby advances 65 per cent more money for them than he would have done at this time in 1919.
 Beaver, another essential to pluto cratic happiness, has risen much more than sugar or lamb chops. Indeed, Uncle Sam tells us that the whole fur fa+pily is roasting on q higher limb than ever before
 LuXuries rise and fall rapidly with the amoant of loose change in mil lionaire bank accounts; but so far as prices go, the poor mans dinner pail can scarcely tell a financial feast from a financial famine.

 While officials at the mint believe that the French Government waits the blocks for money, the denomi- natioas to be stamped abroad on the metal, it has been reported that the discs might be utilized in the manufacture of munitions.
