 Look at that!" joined in the wo- man standing beside her, picking a brown parcel from her basket. There is roast-just about enough for three, and do you know how much it cost me? It cost me sixty sous; would like to know where all the money goes."
 Such conversations are heard every morning in these new subway COTS. They touch a point that no one has yet been able to clear up. The aver age retailer confesses to no greater profit than is proportionate to his own increased expenses. The farmer and stock raiser insist that they are get ting no more than their share.
 The farmer gets more for every thing he sells than he did before the war; twenty per cent. more on the average for mutton, twenty per cent more for wheat, twenty-five per cent more for oats, twenty per cent. more for beef; but he points out that. in compensation for this increase, he now has to pay farm hands twice the wages that he paid before the war, while fertilizers which he uses in con- siderable quantities went from sixty francs to 130 francs per ton.a

ships on secret German errands kept knocking up against the Allied war ships, and last, but perhaps. not least not least, most of move in the plots were promptly reported to us all along by our own agents These plots are still continuing but there is little sting in them and I am afraid the Germans themselves do not believe in them very strongly.
 T should like to be able to say that the illustration of the plots has been due to the Indian police and to the branch of that service under me but I gladly admit that it has been chief ly due to the sanity of the great In- dian public which has withheld it's support Plots and conspiracies are very severely handicapped when the public environment is apathetic or hostile to the conspirator. At the moment we of the secret service arc feeling very comfortable but profess sionally we are disappointed with the German plots for India. We had hoped to learn a great deal from their sys- tenn and methods but they seem to use to have been clumsy, belated too theoretical and based on a misunder- standing of Indian character. At the same time believe the British em- pire owes great debt to the Indian police in all it's branches for its un- swerving loyalty and zeal during the great war;

CENTRAL MARKETS
 ARE POPULAR
Partisan Shoppers Change Their
 Methods of Buying

Paris, Feb. 9.-Present conditions of life have not reduced the girth of the average Parisian, but they have be- gun to work upon susceptible teran- CTS and are changing the physiognomy of the central markets. Cooks who are boycotting the merchants of their quarter to buy at the central markets numbered hundreds few months ago and now number thousands. They made the cars of the subway lines leading to the central markets look like greegrocers delivery wagons in the early hours until. out of deference to passengers who objected to- the odor of Limburger cheese, garlic, and other foodstuffs in their raw state, the sub way company provided special cars for them.

Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
 a Splendid Habit
Open s'uices of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, staanant matter.

Inose of Us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when We arise: splitting headache, stuffy from a cold foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the rrevious days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and purifying tho entire alimentary tract before put ting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans cut all the sour lamentations, xases. waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear in the cneeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 BACK HURTS OR
 .. KIDNEYS BOTHER
Says Uric Aedd in meat clogs
 Kidneys and irritatcs Bladder.
A Glass of Salts is Harmless way to flush Kidneys, says
 authority.

If you must have your meat every day. eat it, but flush your Kidneys with salts occasionally. says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the Kidneys in their efforts to eXpel 1t from the blood They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutraliZe these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the bOdy's urirOuS waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates thus ending bladder weakness.
 { lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, and makes Q delightful eferves- cent lithia -water drink.
