Clothing Prices Rise.

A distinctly aggrieved person Is the
family shopper this season 1t was bad
enough when the prices of foodstuffs
kept up, but to find that the same upward
trend prevails in the cost of practically
every article of clothing she must pur-
chase for herself and her family causes
vigorous and bitter criticism.
Now this increased cost is not due to
any desire on the part of the manufac
turers and producers to get rich quickly,
but is the logical result of the abnormal
conditions brought about by the gigantic
conflict in Europe, writes Margaret Bryce
in the Pictorial Review.
Merchandise of every description is
scarce and is growing scarcer every day.

and put back on hinges. The space I'M

When washing -four sacks or anything

An idea for washing house plants is to

cut the oilcloth to the hole; then wrap
the cloth around the stem of the plant,
tapping over the edges that were cut, and

WILL TAKE RADICAL
 ACTION IN GREECE
FROM ATHENS SAY A REVOLUTION HAS BROKEN
 OUT IN THE CYCLADES.
CREEKS IN EGYPT RESIST
Wireless Messages From Constantine to Berlin Are lntercepted-Com- pIete Consolidation of Army and
 Wire Facilities Are Demanded.

London.-The Foreign Office stated that the British government was con- sulting with Great Britain's allies in an effort to reach a very radical solu- tion of the Greek problem.
 Telegrams from Athens say a re- volution has broken out in the Cy- clades a group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.
 The Greek battleship Hydra, which is under the control of the allies, has intercepted the Greek advices say, wireless messages from King Constan- tine addressed to Berlin.
 All the Greek communities in Egypt, it is added, have renounced their allegiance to King Constantine.
 The latest reports from Athens say that the note of the entente govern ments to Greece undoubtedly will be presented at once. The note will be short, in the nature of a preliminary to a second note, which will contain more detailed demands.
 It is indicated that the demands on Greece may require complete demo- bilization of the army, restoration of control by the entente over the posts, telegraphs and railways and the re- lease of imprisoned Venizelists.
 Advices from the British minister indicate that conditions are more calm. Large numbers of allied na- tionals continue to leave Athens.

The ap- paratus for regulating the furnace con- sists of a weight attached by ropes to the damper and drafts, light strip of wood to hold the weight, two mag nets an armature .and pulleys to les sen the rope-friction. The strip of wood which holds the weight is wide at one end and pointed at the other. The pointed end rests on heavy strip of soft iron which moves on two tin rails. When the push button in the bedroom is pressed circuit is closed, and the two magnets draw the piece of iron, or the armature, from under the supporting strip of wood, causing the weight to fall down and pull open the drafts. An alarm clock may be used to take the place of the push-but- ton. The clock can be set to complete a circuit at a certain hour and then open the furnace drafts.

The Surprise.

"The trouble with scientific manage ment, as the employers understand it" said Samuel Gompers at a labor ban quet in New York, 'is that it's all to the employers advantage and all to the disadvantage of the employee.
 "The employee is like the lady whose husband said:
 "Learn to cook, darling, and 1lP give you a surprise.'
 "She took a siX-month cooking course and then brought home her di- ploma proudly. She could now cook like an angel.
 Bring on my surprise she said.

TO PREVENT OLD AGE
 COMING TOO SOON !!

"Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kid neys act as filters for such poisons. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and increase our chances for a long life, we should drink plenty of pure water and take little Anuric," says the famous Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
 When suffering from backache, ire, quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain little Anuric from your near est druggist and you will quickly no- tice the grand results. You will find 1t many times more potent than lithia, and that it dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

 Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morn ing because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working: you'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely vegetable, therefore harmless and can not salivate. Give it to your children. Millions of people are using Dodson's Liver Tone instead of dangerous cal. omel now. Your druggist will tell you that the sale of calomel is almost stopped entirely here.-Adv.
