The War Alone Blamed for
the High Cost of
Living

Washington, Oct. 26.-There is NOT
likely to be any regulation of exports OF
food prices in this country, barring ac.
tual famine or war, except to prevent il.
legal combinations. This statement was
made yesterday by high administration
authority. Asked whether, in view of
the high cost of living and the admission
that it is caused primarily by the UNI
precedented exports, regulation of ex-
ports and food prices might be possible,
this official replied;
Possible, but highly improbable"
ton leaders blame the high
cost of living on the war and the result
ing demand of Europe for American
wheat, -four, meat sad goods generally,
including the leather that used to 90 INTO
shoes. They figure that the farmer.
after years of getting the worst of it, is
now economically on top. And they fig
ure too, that the retailer in any event
will get his share, despite embargoes or
regulatory prices.
Whom would export regulations hit ?"
several officials asked and then answered
their own question, thus:
"1'he farmer"
All declared an embargo that would
hit the farmer would not be considered.
They have found no evidence of price
and say high prices always go
with prosperity--in itself evidence of
demand that. in the case of labor. boosts
wages, and in the case OF foodstuffs,
boosts prices.

How a Man Who Landed on Wood Pile
and Was Sore from Head to Foot
Found Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam, who
lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of Wen
del Depot, Mass, climbed up into a loft
to get some building material, just as
many another man living in the country
must often do. Suddenly he slipped and
fell Ten feet below was a pile of wood,
knotted and gnarled. 1t was nasty
tumble. and Mr.. Putnam was injured
in the back; he was covered
with bruises, and was sore from head to
foot.
The next day he bought a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been recon-
mended to him. Within a very few hours
the soreness had vanished and the lame
ness had disappeared. He was an active
man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, Poe, SOC and sl.00.

unobtrusive if one is to be in no way
hampered by reminders of outside things.
Then one is the better able to concen-
trate on what one is doing. That ability,
of course, is the shortest cut to advance
ment and capacity to buy more of tho
pretty things dear TO a woman's heart,
to be worn at the proper time and place
I'VE try to make our girls realize that
excellent form in dressing, at times, is
the thing that will get them further with
the kind OF people they really most care
for than anything bizarre or startling.
That in itself is an incentive We try 10
have them bear in mind that anyone can
attract attention by wearing outlandish
clothes, but that any kind of attention
is not the thing they want.
But there are difficulties for the girl
who would dress WELL even though she
understands her own style and the re-
quirements Of different occasions. All
girls haven't the money to dress for bus
mess and for social life, too. That means
two sets of clothes. And many of them
have occasion to 90 to parties after they
leave their work and they haven't the
time to 90 to their homes in New Jersey
or up to the Bronx to dress and return.
So the business girl should not be Judged
hastily or harshly"
Isn't it true that one reason some
girls appear to look slIspiciously well
dressed in comparison to the salaries
they draw is because business life is their
whole life and they wish to appear at
their best during the time they are APP
pearing at alf?' was asked of woman
in the dry goods trade.
Yes" she replied, "and that is one
reason they should not be Judged too
quickly. Some of them live at home and
not all of them have to help out with
their board for that reason, and so, if
they choose they can put all their in
