ITALY THE cheapest
COUNTRY To LIVE IN
FAMILIES HAVE TO HAVE POLITI-
CAL "PULL" no GET EGGS AND
SUGAR. HOWEVER.

Rome. April 23.-After two years
OF war, Italy continues the cheapest
country in which to live of all those
engaged in the present struggle.
In the larger cities the housekeep-
er's menu has become limited by gov
ermental decree. forbidding the sale
! of meats and pastries on certain days
/ of the week, but otherwise the cost of
food has hardly doubled. In the coun-
! try towns and on the farms little or
no attention is paid to such restric-
lions and there food is scarcely dear
or than before the war except for
meat. sugar and coffee. While only
brown bread may be sold, its price is
five cents a pound, the Government
shoudering the increased cost of
wheat.
Governmental regulations forbid
ding the sale of meat on Thursdays
and Fridays. and of cakes, pastry,
honey and chocolate on Saturdays,
Sundays and Mondays have not lin
tied consumption. but encouraged
speculation in all foods. When sugar
was raised it became difficult to buy,
and now can only be had in five-cent
packages or on a purchase of coffee.
When meat sales were restricted eggs
we're sold at five to six cents each or
were stored for rise until huge
quantities we're confscated by the
Government.
The difficulties of housekeeping
have become such in the large cities
that sugar. eggs and other articles
cannot be obtained by family cooks
unless some member of the servants
family has political influence. For
this reason 1t is not unusual to see
diplomats. Ambassadors, Ministers,
Consuls and other foreign officials 60

their own packages, since the store
keepers dare not refuse them the ar
ticles refused the servants.
Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page
has been one of the persons in Rome
to try to solve the -four. ham and
sugar problem by making an impor-
tation from the United States. At
present his is the only family of the
American colony in Italy which has
as much as a barrel of sugar on
hand.
Some American families gave up
housekeeping and went to live in
hotels. but there. since the food re-
strictions. they are unable to get but

and in many cases have to substitute
honey for sugar in their coffee. Il
food substitute not unlike the mo-
lasses sweeting prevalent during the
Civil War in the United States.
