countless lips the story of the diff culty of making both ends meet. His own experiences with the cost of liv- ing has made him loathe to believe that the war has been an unmixed benefit for the worker who stays at home.
 Working1nen's Situation Improved.
 Quite of different opinion is Dr.. Q. Becker, head of the Association of German Employment Bureaus, who forms his opinion from facts and figures gathered from all parts of the German Empire, and who, in conse- quence, believes that the general sit- uation of the workingman has vastly improved and that his wages, by and large, have gone up faster than the cost of living.
 In arriving at this decision he takes into account the situation of the un- skilled workers and in agreeing with MT Steffen that their wage increases have not been appreciably great, be- lieves that the more and more favor able status of the country worker, in with the rapid decrease in non-employment, over-balances higher prices. . ... >.:.....
 Women Are Gathers.
 The. women, far more than the men, have been the gathers in the un- skilled trades, and to them, it is be- lieved, is due the large and unex- pected increase in savings deposits which the banks have recorded. A portion of them-the minority it is estimated-have, it is true, had to go to work alongside husbands and brothers who are not serving in the army, but a larger portion are com paratively prosperous.
 This is due, as MT. Koersten ex- plains, roughly to two things. In the first place the, biggest eater and most expensive member of the family
New Britain herald., 1915-11-03

the man, IS gone and the expenses or ms upkeep are being met by the government. In the second place the woman now has more than one source or income-her share of her husbands pay and what she herself earns. This applies of course only to the working woman.
 Doing Mems Work.
 Some fifty thousand women in Ber- lin alone are doing mems work. The greater part of them at the same time receive from the state at least something toward their support. The exact ratio of the present family in come to that of, say, fourteen months ago, is unobtainable, but it is be- lieved in a large number of cases to be nearly as great as before.
 With the family's chief expense away, it has been possible for the women to establish almost a record in saving. Thus the July deposits in Berlin savings banks this year were 12, 2,365,000 marks, as against $780, 900 marks last year. The withdraw als reached 4,1O5,OOO marks, in com parison with 9,2se,OO0 marks in 1914, an unusually high figure caused by the war scare.
 At the, Berlin. Municipal Savings Bank alone the 107,6S1 depositors during the year ending August 31, 1915, banked 7,51S,615 marks, an average of about 70 marks, where the average in 1913 and 1912 was only 57 marks, and in 1911 60 marks. In 1912 the savings books averaged 47S marks, in 1913 the figure rose to 4S7 and in 1914 to 506 marks. This aver age dropped in April only to 467 marks after. 10,5OO,OOO marks had been withdrawn by depositors within twelve days, and. 1S,O0O,OOO and 3O,- OoO,O00 respectively had been put into the two war loans.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- ton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more tood into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their information.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- of body pOisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleasing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

CONFLICT ON WAGES { IN GERMAN EMPIRE
Opinions Differ Regarding Pay
 and Cost of Living

|# SCorrespondence of t"e Associated Press}
 z Berlin, Oct. 31-Labor statisticians.
 who have been watching the situation
 closely and critically as the months of war, have passed, agree with a fair
 degree of unanimity on the general effect of the conflict on wages, but disagree to some extent on the re- lation between the wages paid today
 and the cost of living-as to whether or not the workingman's pay has in creased as fast as prices of foodstuffs
 have. p ~ IF s They agree that the men in the k war materials' trades and the wo- men for that; matter, today are re- ceiving fifty, seventy and even one- hundred per cent. more than they ever did before. In most cases the Eadvance is nearer to one-hundred per Hcent. than fifty or seventy because there is no limit to the amount of work to do, there is unlimited op-
 portunity for overtime work, wages
 are higher than usual and help is scarce.
 Neither Great Nor Even.
 In other skilled trades that supply
 ordinary needs-the printing and
 carpenter trade for instance-the ad-
 vance it is agreed it is neither so great
 nor so even. The printer is making from three and five marks a day more than he used to do: the brewer is getting an even 1Ov marks more a week; the leather worker, like the carpenter, can be gauged only by his capacity. M .--,.. lJ ,.. ,..-..-. .i... The benefits accruing, to the un- skilled workers simply cannot be es- timated because they are 50 variable and so dependent upon employers generosity. chance circumstances and the like. The auth critics are agreed that these workers have been less benefited than any others, but find it . impossible to determine the degree of benefit.
 Costs Advanced Faster. Alvin Koersten, Secretary of the l Central, Employment Bureau of the l Berlin trades, who might be termed ; Ia walking statistical office, and who lis constantly in close touch with 1 workers of all kinds, is positive that l living costs have advanced faster than 1 wages, and that the war materials (workers are the only ones who have Kept up.
