BrOoklyn's Fourth Solemn
as GuardSmen Depart

Fourth Of July in Brooklyn was a
serious affair. So filled with sober pa
triotism, enhanced by the 2Sd Infantry
departure for the border in the after
noon. and so fearful lest the holiday
crowds spread infantile paralysis, were
the citizens Of the borough across The
river. that the celebrations lacked the
customary jollity.
The Health Department stopped cele-
brations in districts where infantile
paralysis prevails. The chief gathering
was at Prospect Park. where Borough
President Pounds spoke.
At night Borough Hall. Martyrs
Monument at Fort Greene Park. and the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument on the
Prospect Park Plaza were Illuminated.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Owing to the immense shipments of food stuffs' tc the warning countries it is believed that the cost of living this winter vii reach an unprecedented scale. and af- feet every person, no matter what Ob- ject may be purchased, according to a table of comparisons compiled here yesterday. It is stated by wholesale provisioners that unless Congress orders food shipments stopped that a scarcity of staple articles will be ex- perlenced which will cause actual suf- fering in the country.
 Food prices 1t is said, vary accord ing to quality and quality, but it is the small purchaser at retail who must pay prohibltive prices. Whole salers say canneries have informed them that fall and winter deliveries will be only one-third normal and the vegetable crop is only half the amount expected, owing to the heavy rains all over the country.
 Canned fruits will be 30 per cent higher and canned vegetables are ex- pected by wholesalers to increase 20 3aG cent in price.
 Paper bags, in which the house. wife carries home her purchases have increased in cost from 95 cents in wholesale lots to $1.55. This advance is typical of all paper products.
 Cotton goods have advanced nearly 53 per cent. Woolens have kept pace with cottons.
 Women's shoes will cost twice as much this year as last. according to dealers.
 Collars. that two-for-a-quarter sta pie from the memory of man, will be a thing of the past. Collars have been advanced to Is cents each, and laun dries which have for years laundered collars for cents will now charge 8 cents each.
 Cigar jobbers raised their prices this week to between four and five dollars a thousand to the retailer.
