POOR IN ENGLAND FEEL PINCH 0F WAR Prices of Food and Coal Have Steadily Advanced
 Since War

London, May 9.-tCorrespondence of the Associated Press.)-war falls heavily on the poor. Food and coal have steadily advanced in price and many husbands and fathers have given up comparative ly fair wages for shilling a day and the Kings uniform, with only a small of those left behind.
 Typical examples of the struggles of soldiers dependents have beer published in one of the London newspapers. In one case a soldiers wife says that where she previously paid out 5 for living expenses for one week she now pays nearly s. Rent now cos.s her S5 cents week, food s1.75 and the remainder goes to various benefit clubs and for oth- CT expenses. But between the ;overn- ment allowance, her husband's com muted pay and the work she gets rom the Queens Needlework Guild by max ing shirts for soldiers, she Is able not only to put a shilling a week into the bank but another one aside as cloth ing fund.
 Among this woman weekly .ems or outlay Is a shilling to a feather club. which she explains as follows:
 II am in feather club to get lancer plume which will cost f5 shllings Il pence ($D. If you don't wear good hat in Whitehorse lane they say you are coming down in the world and don't want them to think that. Also a nice hat makes you feel young and real ly I am only very young. l always try to look clean and decent
 Another story comes from laborer's wife who has one son in the army and two sons, aged respectively IS and years, at home. Her income is 16 shill- ings a week from her husband, sh1il- ings sixpence from the Soldiers associa- ton and the same from the 13-year-old boy when working and 4 shillings earned Ey herself at shirt making, altogether c4 shillings or $6.
 Bread she says, is their heaviest ex- pense. since tfey use four loaves day, costing $220 a week. Rent comes tt u .25 altogether and mere cost of living leaves only a few pennies out or the weekly income Meat in the form or stew is a luxury for Sundays. Bread ane marrarine is the main food of the lam lily. Her story continues: "I spend nothing on myself l don't re member when I had any new clothes don't belonr to any feather clubs am too old for that-Im O Sometimes the children run errAnds and 90 ger nanny to spend on the moving pictures l They like the cowboy films.
