lately prior to the commencement OF
the present war and afterwards, until
war orders, so-called, appeared and
influenced a change, business condt-
tons in the United States were very
bad. The volume was considerable
but the prices were unreasonably low.
Many were selling their commodities
below cost This was because the
prices of imported products, made
with cheap labor and transported at
low rates, were below the cost of
production here. These shipments,
dumped from surplus stocks, fixed the
dome este prices. I hope and believe
whatever political party is in power
much thought VIII be given to the all
important question of adequate-no
more and no less-protection. Our
people will succeed or fail together.

pense of others. No class can long
continue in adversely without similar

Indoor Life Makes Fat
Take Oil Of koreIn to Keep Weight
Down, or to Reduce Super

People who are confined within
doors and who are deprived of fresh,
inyigorating air and exercise must
take precaution to guard against over
stoutness, as fat acquired by indoor
life Is unhealthy and danger to the
vital organs Of the body. Lack OF
exercise in the fresh air weakens the
oxygen carrying power of the blood,
so that it is unable to produce strong
muscles and vitality and the forma-
ton of unsightly and unhealthy fat
is the result.
If you are Is or 20 pounds above
normal weight you are daily drawing
on your reserve strength and are
constantly lowering your vitality oy
carrying this excess burden. Any
person who is satisfied in their own
mind that they are too stout should
20 to a good druggist and get box
of oil OF korein capsules, and take
one after each meal and one just be-
fore retiring at night.
Even a few days treatment should
show noticeable reduction in weight,
digestion should improve, energy re-
turn, footsteps become lighter ana
the skin less fabby in appearance.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, can.

Plants and flowers are forms OF

humblest surroundings. When pass

STAFF OF LIFE AND ITS COST.

The high price OF wheat conveys an
ominous significance to the house
wife, grocer predicted few days
ago that before spring, brands Of
-four costing $3.50 a barrel formerly,
will go to $500 or more. This will
be less than the record price OF about
400 for these grades last year. But
the advance will come closer home
to working people than any other
present result of war.
In spite of American prosperity.
there are still large sections of our
population for whom bread is the
main article of subsistence. To great
numbers of recent immigrants meat
is almost prohibited luxury. They
may pick up some remnants and
bones cheap, but only for use as an
appetizer. Bread and soup are the
menu A touch OF onions or other
pungent vegetable may be used to
give the meal some tang.
A well seasoned soup has surpris-
ing effect to give an otherwise dry
provender some flavor, and makes a
meal seem more substantial than it
really is. With this added relish,
many new corners to America will
gnaw along for days on their long
loaves baked after the foreign man
ner.
Wheat bread Of course is food of
the most substantial character.
People OF indoor life and finicky ap-
petites would not eat enough of it
for full nourishment. The manual
laborer, hungry from his fatiguing
task, puts it down with avidity. If he
came from the old country, he may
have learned to eat it without butter.
The present high wheat prices will
again encourage the farmer to stuff
every possible acre with the staple
grains, and hire money to pay his
help. But the wastes of trench life
are great, the demand for wheat flour
is enormous, and the American work
ing man will pay high for his loaf
while the war lasts.
1t will certainly be great year for
the back yard garden. A few square
rods put into potatoes will go far to
reduce the -four bill. and provide a
nourIshing substitute.
