According TO The Daily Telegraph"
OF London. these are actual figures
supplied by a Birmingham, England,
housewife, who provides for a family
OF six-husband, wife, two sons and
two daughters, the youngest sixteen
years old. all munitions workers ex-
cept the wife. The average is taken
over six weeks:
Bread, six pounds a head week
Sugar, used sparingly, three-quarters
o, a pound a head a week.
Meat, three pounds head week.
II should be noted that number
OF workers. partly owing 20 the siren
uous nature OF their employment and
partly because they have an unusual
command Of money, live better than
the average household. The noticeable
increase of late in the consumption Of
bread is accounted for by the fact that
thousands are carrying into the Eng
lish factories day and night meals OF
which bread forms Of necessity the
staple.

Owing TO the lack Of building mate
rails there is a scarcity Of dwelling
houses Of the cheaper class in Dutch
cities, which have been growing rapidly
since the war, according TO a report
from Frank ". Mahin, American Con-
sui at Amsterdam. Mr.. Mshin writes:
AT the end Of 1915 there was not one
unoccupied dwelling Of the cheapest
class in Amsterdam out Of a total OF
3,093 houses, and only 10 unoccupied
in the next two higher classes, corr-
prising q ,42s houses, those unoccupied
being in the oldest part of the city.
Altogether there we're SIG dwellings
out of l3s,525 unoccupied at the end OF
1918, the unoccupied being nearly all
above the medium class OF residences.
A year ago, when the situation was
fairly normal, there were 100 Of 200
vacant dwellings in classes where there
are row but Is or 20.
"ro relieve the working people in par
ticular the Amsterdam municipal ac-
thOrities contemplate building $40
dwelling houses, at a total cost
equivalent to about s260,OOO. The reu:
proposed will average about 81 a week
per dwelling, which, it is estimated.
will pay a small interest on the invest
ment. The dwellings will be erected
on available ground in suburb Of the
city"

The German Towns Association mas
sent an urgent appeal 10 the War NJ
triton Office, asking for an improve
ment in the milk supply, according 20
information received via London. IL
is declared that what is most needed IS
the provision Of milk for children be-
tween the ages Of seven and twelve.
Tho appeal continues: According 10
our experience and observation the
present state Of things, in which most
towns have TO mix whatever for these
children, while the other towns can
supply the children with the necessary
milk only by reducing their supply Of
fat-. cannot be maintained in the towns.
The children from seven TO twelve
years Of age are at a special disadvan-
tage because they get no additions
whatever to their food rations, while
children below six years OF age get pure
milk and children over twelve years OF
age get supplementary bread tickets

ReAexes Of War

A curious development Of the war
situation appears in the report that
for the first time, so far as is definitely
known, orders have been placed from
q foreign country for the products
OF modern Chinese factories. THE
war;" says = report from the Office Of
the American commercial attsche at
Peking, had naturally given q great
impetus 10 the domestic trade " ma
tive manufactures Of cotton goods,
matches, soap, candles. etc, but now i:
is stated that several large orders have
been placed from Russia for the last
three items mentioned In the case Of
candles and matches this may mean only
the reexport OF foreign goods, but the
soap is to be manufactured locally"

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling 10 Thlnes
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years a person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one viii contain letters,
one scraps of ribbons and laces-if
it's man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of maga-
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and
green umbrella that one might use
in private theatricals-if ell these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
ily, if they ore patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung to
through a moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight
est hope of their ever being cured.
They viii think from an attic point
Of view for the rest Of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to mako
themselves disagreeable over a bit
of string and absolutely objections
bic on the subject of stray pieces Of
brown paper they should not be &C
cused Of having bad dispositions.
nor should they be suspected of do
ing it to annoy one. They are
merely suffering from the attic in
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for scheme Of
life where certain things were al
ways kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor.
still others in the closets on the
next floor, and everything and any
thing that overfowed from any Of
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with cellar, three stories
and an attic still lodged in their
minds. and, though they VIII in
time disappear, like all unnecessary
members-seventh toe, tails, an ap-
pendix-in tie meantime they are
having trouble with them, they are
suffering and fishting for them, and
