JEWELS ARE TAKEN
AND THEN REPLACED

Macon. Ga, Feb. l2.-Considerable
mystery surrounds the disappearance
and sudden reappearance of jewels to
the value of $500 from the room of
Mr.. and Mrs. Truman H. Miller, of
Chicago, who have been guests for
several days at the Hotel Dempsey.
The handbag containing the jewels
was missed Saturday night. when Mr..
and Mrs. Miller returned from the
theater. A thorough search of the
apartment was made and the police
notified. The next day the bag con-
tanning the stones was found in a
closet 1t is believed that the per-
son who took them became frighten-
ed and decided to return them rather
than take chances on being arrested.

1916 WAS RECORD YEAR FOR
FOODSTUFFS

Prices OF foodstuffs in December,
1916, reached higher levels than the
United States has seen in the SO years
since the Civil War period With the
monotonous regularity of clockwork
the quotations on one commodity iaf-
ter another have registered new high
records for two generations 1t is
hoped the end is in sight. The re-
markablc spurts in the price of cot
ton during the Daniel Scully corner,
and in wheat when Joseph Letter al
most succeeded in cornering the sup
ply, have been forgotten in the wide
spread advance which has not only
carried these products above their
former records, but has borne with it
every item classed among the necessi-
ties of life.
The year just ended will take its
place in history for its unprecedented
rises in the prices of food-stuffs.
