$11O,OOO,OOO Day.
The war is now costing all belliger-
ents more than $11O,OOO,OOO day. This
is divided among the principal nations
as follows: Great Britain, $3O,OOO,OOO
(official figures); France, $4,000, 900 /;
Russia, $18,OOO,OOO; Italy, $8,5OO,OOO /;
Germany, $23,OOO,OOO, and Austro-Hun-
gary, $12O0O,OOO, the lesser powers
making up the balance.

many is compromising her debt by not
taking in taxes enough to cover all her
interest charges.
The financial situation of both sides
is fairly good. The same cannot be
said for the economic situation. Ger
many and her allies are plainly in dis
tress in many ways. Few or none have
died Of actual hunger, but the vitality
of many noncombatants is lowered by
lack of proper food. There is a great
scarcity of rubber, copper, high grade
iron, material for warm clothing and
an almost absolute lack Of strictly ex-
otto products, such as tea, coffee and
cocoa.
In Great Britain the common people
have never been so prosperous. The
cost of living has advanced by more
than half, but wages have increased
still more and the demand for labor,
both by the government and by private
enterprises is Unsuitable.

France, too, has largely recovered
from the financial shock, though &C.
tivity is not on such great scale as in
England. In Russia private business is
not good, but owing to the suppression
of vodka, the mujik, is happier today
and is saving several times as much
money as ever before.
Italy is suffering from a dearth of
coal, which has closed most of her fac
tories.
Some of the neutral countries of Eu-
rope, especially Denmark, Sweden and
Norway are becoming opulent from war
business. In Holland the upper classes
have made money, while there have
recently been food riots by the lower
classes.
Switzerland is harassed continually
by both sides to the quarrel, Germany
demanding to be allowed to purchase
and export goods freely from Swiss
towns and the allies threatening to
withhold food and other supplies If

War Costs Fifty-Five Billion.
On August 1, the second anniversary
of the start of the great war, the di-
rect money cost to all the belligerents
reached $55,OO0,00OOOO.
This is the consensus of financial
opinion here. Estimates six months
ago were slightly lower, but the daily
cost has mounted steadily and the
figures given are considered conserva-
tive.
The direct cost does not include the
losses by destruction of property, by
the Reorganization of civilian indus
try, by the death and crippling of
workers and by enervating human
sickness and misery.
The money spent is apportioned ap-
prOXimately as follows:

But indicate as Precipitation is, the lack of

than gentlemen die of consumption.
Neither is the value Of the bath to be under

"In the most civilized nations Of Europe

skin. and all the arrangements of domestic IRE
include the means of copious and constant
bathing. Large provision is made for wash

reo,,ire more than a quart of water for their

cacies first, thus automatically destroying the
desire for too much food
The most approved mode of treating chill
dren now is to give them their piece OF cake
first and then TO let them satisfy their appe-
ttes with bread" Eminently practical is this
plan, for in its pursuance one would soon cease
to be offended by the sight of gluttony and
distressing avoirdupois.
"'Man is one of those animals which re-
quire very little drink" she quotes from high
authority. concerning the pernlcous and idle
habit of drinking. THE aboring man who
sweats profusely may be allowed to drink more
freely. but ladies who undergo no hard toll or
exposure to a hot sun are better without those
frequent drafts" Certainly it is far more
natural to see a horse drink up its water
thirsty after a run than it is to see the lady
who has been coolly borne by the WILLING
animal indulge herself in this fashion.
Very delcately, but not at all with lack
of decisiveness, does Mrs Farrar enter into
the evils attendant upon the slavish following
of dress habits Ladies who through the u.s.
Of tight garments prohibit proper breath
ing and circulation are committing foes.
Skirts which are so tight stepping into

of silken hosiery are more than inconvenient-
they are unmaidenly.

MACHINE TURNED OVER
 ON WINDHAM ROAD
But Occupants Could Not Be Found When Police Arrived on Scene.

About four o'clock Sunday morn ing the police received a report that an automobile had turned over on. the Windham road in the vicinity of Fair view street. Then the officers arrived on the scene the persons that were in the car at the time of the accident had departed but the machine was still there on the side of the road. The machine was a Ford car of an old model and carried the number 17186. It is thought that the mem bers of the party that had the acci- dent had been drinking during Satur- day evening and that they were in- tending to have a party as those who saw the wreck later in the day stated that the rear of the car contained a great deal of the refreshments of the liquid variety. The top, the wind shield, radiator and hood of the car were completely smashed as the re- suit of the affair. It could not be learned whether anyone was injured in the accident or not, but it is thought that no one was hurt to any great extent
 The owner of the car is a man named Chabotte whose home is in the lower village. He claims that the car skidded and turned turtle after it had gone against a bank.
