RESIDENTS OF CORFU
 "SHAKE THEM DOWN.
Emulate the Deeds of Their Venetian Ancestors By Jumping Prices On
 Foreigners in Distress.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Corfu, Greece, July 3.-The "Corfi- otes'' as the Greeks call the inhabi- tants of the island of Corfu are out to make their fortunes during the brief sojourn of the 1500O Scrhs and some 50,0O0 French, British, Italians and Greeks, strangers to the island. The Corfiotes are of Venetian blood-de- scendants of a long line of pirates and corsafrs,-and possessed of roman ticism which enables them instead merely of doubling their prices, to put them up ten times-and smile blandly about it.
 The Serbs came out of Albania with ragged uniforms and blankets. They had to buy everything anew, and the Corfiote was there to furnish it. The Serbs are well paid (out of the coffers of the entente) and 1t is impossible for them to send money home to their families even if they want to. Conse- quently, the Corfote asks whatever prices he likes and the Serb, having nothing else to do with the money, generally pays it. The readiest get rich-quick operations in Corfu, how ever, were speculative, not commer- cial. When the Serbs arrived on the island, @ beaten army without a coun- try, what they brought with them m the shape of money was largely Ser bian paper currency. The Corfiotes generally would not accept it but a few wise heads had the real instinct of heir trading ancestors and bought the Serbian paper in at 37 centir7es the dinar, a depreciation of 63 per cent. When the allies decided to guarantee the reconquest of Serbia and the re- fitting of the Serbian army began in earnest, there was d boom in Serbian paper Instead of 37 centimes the dinar, 1t brought 90 and finally, for all practical purposes, par. In a few weeks those who had bought at 37 had almost doubled their capital.

 If you are carrying around five or ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are unnecessarily weakening your vital or gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty of your figure.
 There is no need of anyone suffering rom superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, safe diet or tiresome exercise, here is a test worth trying. Spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deeply and get from The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, or any good druggist a box of oil of korein capsules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once a week so as to know just how fast you arc losing weight and don't leave off the treat ment or even skip a single dose until you are down to normal.
 Oil of korein is absolutely harm less Is pleasant to take and helps di- gestion. Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a notice- able reduction in weight, footsteps become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more bouyant feel ing takes possession of your whole being.
 Every person who suffers from superfluous fat should give this treat r1ant a trial,

easily be verified by consulting our
records: there has been a decided
Improvement. judged by the bac-
terial counts, in the pasteuriZed milk
sold in South Bend. Before the
tests were made the pasteurizing
plants were unable to determine just
what success they were having with
their pasteurizing machines. Some
Of the owners Of these plants have
checked up their methods, have
added equipment and in other ways
taken steps to improve the quality
OF the milk sold by them. DR.. North
visited a number of the local plants.
His most severe criticism was that
the raw milk was not tested before
il was pasteurized.
Since the health department
recommends pasteurized milk, it
seeks to establish by ordinance legal
standards and 20 guarantee 10 this
community that milk sold as pas
teurized is properly pasteurized'.
