if there are there is no fat in which
to fry them. The usual German sup
per before the war consisted of cold
meats, sausage, cheese, bread and
butter and beer There is no meat,
no cheese, and no butter on four or
five days of the week, no more bot
tied beer and many saloon keepers
refuse to sell beer to be consumed
off the premises. The beer, more
over, is all but undrinkable.
There remain then only bread and
fish, fresh, smoked, dried or canned.
And here the problem of cost is ad-
ded to that of monotony. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent paid in
Berlin S1.20 pound for ordinary
lake trout and As cents a pound for
small fresh water bass. Dried salt
ed fish costs Sc cents a pound and
smoked eel s1.92 to s2.40. Smoked
goose breast costs SO to $3.50
pound and boiled shrimp u cents.

city authorities place on the market

one of these cards. The sardines'
thus sold may be had for about 4S
cents for the small tin. In the open
market they cost from 81 cents for
sardines in tomato sauce to 72 cents
for sardines in OIL One smoked her

How Learned Not to
Quarrel with My Wife

l learned not to quarrel with my
wife by Analysing the cause carefully
and then removing 1t; but this re-
qufred a greater risk than many
men. perhaps, would care to assume.
First. let me explain, I am of a
temperamental disposition, and
things sometimes annoy me without
my being conscious of just what they
are. Thus discovered. after a year
or so of married life. that I often
became irritable when in the pre-
sence of my wife at home. although
this feeling would leave me when
/ went out. ..r .-.t
Later I noticed that when I was at
the theatre or at any social affair
with my wife my peace OF mind was
not disturbed. Thus came to the
conclusion that it was something
about our home life that Jared on
my nerves, making me irritable and
ready to start an argument on any
pretense.
At last discovered the cause. II
was simply my wife's taste-or lack
Of tin her dress when at home.
My business position demanded
that make a good personal appear
ance. and particular dressing had be-
come a sort OF sixth sense with me.
Most OF the people I met in business
were also careful about their ap-
pearance.

pie who always looked their best and

case, but many of them will lack
the moral courage to get away with
my program. So l hope the wives
who see it will compare the stu
alton with their own experience, and

company of other women when any
happened to be around.
My natural impulse was to deny
this and lie out of it like a gentle
man; but knew there was some
basis for her feeling. and all at once
1t came to me.
1t took me two hours to prepare
my speech. because realized what it
meant to hurt a woman's vanity.
When 1t was ready felt about as
cheerful as IL were Ticking ashes

At last. however. shut my eyes
and fired both barrels. I do not

ter the start I threw away all dis

story.

I had beaten her. and 1t was a long

ment. and in it she assumed ninety
eight per cent. of the blame and Of
fered just one little excuse.
She admitted having grown care
less, and promised to curb her ap-
petite for candy and sodas and spend
the money toward keeping up her
personal appearance.
Then we figured up her expenses,
and found that she was going along
on very narrow margin; so I in
creased her allowance; and the
grand result is better mutual nu-
derstanding and a wife who has been
changed from a mere wife back in
