Berlin Claims Country Was Given 2,OOO,OOO,OOO Lire by Special
 Clause in London Agreement.

Berlin, Jan. 7, via wireless to Saw ville.-"The Neue Zuricher Zeitune has received reports from reliable sources,'' says the Overseas News Agency, that the London treaty pro- viding against the conclusion of a separate peace, signed by Italy, con- tains a special clause under which Italy received 2,OOO,oOO,OOO lire for giving her adherence to the agree ment."
 The news agency says it has "spe- cial information" to the effect that another clause in the treaty is di- rected against the Vatican.

to the complaint received by the sec- retary MT. Hafey's machine forced the car driven by William s. Beebe of New Haven, off the road into a fence. At that time nothing was said about any other machine. The report was that MT. Beebe's machine struck a stone , in the highway. with such force that it turned aside, crashed through the wooden uprights and threw Miss Flint onto the ground. The young lady was removed to New Britain and refused to give any in- formation concerning herself the accident. The summons to MT Hafey throws a different light on the mat ter and it is probable the investiga- tion will bring out the exact details of the accident.

APPETITE AND HEALTH

Loss OF appetite is sure sign OF Ill
health.
Those who take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People as tonic invari-
ably say that their improvement began
with a noticeable increase in the appe-
tite. When you are sick and your vi
tally is low your appetite fails. Moth
ing tastes good. You take no pleasure
in your meals. Under such circum-
stances good digestion is impossible.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills tone up the
entire system, the blood is enriched
and good red blood is essential to nor
NAL digestion. The glands that secrete
the digestive fluids are strengthened,
not merely stimulated, and you once
more enjoy good appetite. Looking
forward pleasurably to meal-time is the
first sign of returning health, strength
and vitality.
What to eat then becomes q problem
and it is solved by the diet book that
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, will send you on re-
quest. 1t gives the relative digestibility
OF different foods, gives the proper diet
in various diseases and is handy book
to have.
The price Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt OF price.

for $50 pound. As it requires about
one pound to dye 100 yards of cloth, you
can readily see why prices of cloth are
advanced.
silk Innings for jackets have advanced
30 to 40 cents per yard, caused by the
high price of japanese silk and the cost
of dyeing All the trimmings, bones,
canvas and buttons that enter into the
making of the garments have advanced
from 80 to so per cent. SO if your dealer
asks you four or five dollars more than
YOU have been in the habit of paying,
don't think he is making that much ex-
ira profit. As matter of fact, he is
probably making less in trying to keep
your trade.
Separate coats reflect the same up
ward tendency. The fashionable models
are wide and full and require more ma
terisl than did last years models. II
you select plush coat, you will have to
pay five or six dollars more than last
season. II the coat you select is fur
trimmed. you run against an enormously
increased cost. as furs have advanced
double and triple their usual prices.
MANY of the furs which are so popular
in this country come from Russia, Bel
GUM and Germany. These countries are
not shipping furs over here and besides,
England and the neutral countries of
Europe are buying quantities OF furs
from us, thus adding to the scarcity.

BELGIANS, INACTIVITY.

A semi-offieial German report states
that a great many Belgians refuse to
work in order to gain a livelihood There
can be no incentive for a people to work
when they stand the chance of having
practically all they earn taken from
them Give the Belgians their complete
freedom and their national life of three
years ago and they undoubtedly will be
found as industrious as the average peo-
pie of the world The Germans them
selves would dislike to work if they had
the Russian yoke on their necks and felt
that any time the car so pleased he
would step in and take the fruits of their
toll. The Belgians never win return to
their field Of industry until they have an
national life; and no one can
really blame them for waiting until that
time comes.

Silks for dresses and blouses have ad-
vanced 80 to 80 cents per yard, and laces
and trimmings of every kind are much
higher.
So it is right through the whole gamut
OF clothes. Even if you make your own,
you will have to pay more for your ma
terial, your Innings, trimmings and pat
terms. Paper patterns will cost more be-
cause the price of paper has increased
enormously and is advancing all the time.
Corsets have also increased in price,
The cost of steels, bones, wire, ETC., has
advanced thousandfold, because the
factories that formerly made these are
now busily engaged in making ammuni
tons, so if you are asked to pay so cents
or dollar more for the next pair of
you buy, do not feel that you are
being cheated.
Sweaters, hats, gloves, stockings, sill
verwarc, celuloid articles, toys and shoes
have advanced alarmingly in prices. Mil
lions of pairs of shoes are made in this
and exported to the belligerents.
and perfectly enormous quantities of
leather are used for making saddles, bri-
dies. harness, etc. In consequence, the
of leather is most alarming and
almost any price can be obtained So,
though we seem widely separated from
the warning countries, we are very close
ly affected by the conditions resulting
from the war. Dorothy Dexter.

than it would have cost last year, be.
cause wooden fabrics have advanced from
40 to 80 cents per yard and the present
styles demand from six to six and one
half yards for a suit. Jackets are longer
and while the skirts are short, they are
very full and wide, SO that an increased
yardage is necessary.
There are many reasons for the ad-
vance in wooens. The warning coun-
tries consume quantities for their armies
and navies and England has placed an
embargo on the expectation of wool from
Australia and New Zealand, formerly
the chief sources of our supply. Then,
too cheaper cloths were made from dis
carded woolens sold by rag dealers to
fabric mills. But all the wooden mate
rial used in uniforms for soldiers and
sailors is practically wasted, as the uni
forms are buried with the dead men, or
they are burned or cast aside.
Another factor that adds to the cost is
the scarcity of dyes. In the past all our
dyes came from Germany, which is now
unable to send us any, and manufactur.
ers have used mp practically all the stock
available in this country and are now
dependent on the few domestic dye man
ufacturers who are laboring to establish
a dye industry in this country. But all
this experimenting is expensive, and adds
to the cost of dyestuffs. In
one instance dyes that before the war
sold for 30 cents pound, are now selling
