We are not dreamers, if it was possible TO
retain price and give our same quality as always

stores throughout the country would be in a
better position than the one-man merchant.
We know the buying public are not having

papers every day about every article that en-
tiers into the making of clothes has advanced
from SO per cent TO 100 per cent, making it
impossible for any merchant to sell today the
same quality at the same price as year ago,
and we want to assure you this that if you
you buy at old prices you buy cIeapened

CHINA PREPARING FOR DEFENSE
AGAINST INTRIGUE BY TEUTONS

sisting China's finances, suspend the
payment for a period Of ten years,
after which period the annual pay
ments, according to the original install
ments without any addition OF interest
are to be resumed.
The Chinese government hopes
that the United States OF America
with the good intention Of assisting
China's finances will agree to an i'm
mediate imposition of surtax Of so
per cent on the present import duty.
In the meantime, the Chinese gov.
eminent will revise the customs tariff
and after reviAon levy an effective
seven and one-half per cent duty.
1T is hoped that the provisions con.
tanned in the protocol Of 1901 and
accessory documents which tend to i'm

tionary measures Of the Chinese gov
eminent yis-a-vis the Germans, that is

week below their previous consump-
ton
This rationing is, OF course, purely
voluntary. 1t is expected that a res
olute effort on the part of each con-
sumer to reduce his consumption to
the figures mentioned above will auto
matically bring saving Of more than
100000 tons per annum Of bread
meat, and sugar.
On February %, 1917, a number OF
the most famous London clubs volun
tarly instituted one meatless day per
week.
On February 26 the food controller
issued an order having for its object
the further conservation Of wheat
1t fixed at 81 per cent the minimum
flour that should be extracted from
wheat, and 1t permitted the miller to
make out the remainder by mixing
other cereals.
Concerning Tea and Coffee
On March II the food controller ar.
rived at voluntary agreement with
the importers and distributors Of tea
by which the retail price was fixed
at rs. 3D.. t$O.53) per pound, which
was the price then reigning. In order
to insure reasonable supply Of tea
at the low price, 40 per cent Of the
imports from India will be allocated to
the trade by the importers for this
purpose.
Arrangements have also been made
with the coffee trade to sell at retail
good, sound, pure coffee-whole or
ground-at the rate Of Is. Cd. ($0.3O
per pound.
Conditional Sales Forbidden
On March Fl the food controller is
sued very drastic order under the
defense Of the realm act, declaring Vt
to be a punishable offense for a mer-
chant, in connection with the sale or
proposed sale of any article Of food, to
impose a condition involving the pur.
chase Of any other article. This rule
put an end 20 the practise of insisting
that something else, usually tea,
should be purchased before sugar was

nights supply to any one customer.
On February 9, 1917. the food con-
troller issued an order prohibiting
private dealing in sugar outside OF
the United Kingdom. Sugar for brew
ers was restricted, and those holding
stocks Of sugar were forbidden to de-
liver any sugar to q brewer without a
special license from the food controll-
er, and they were directed to report
the stocks Of sugar held by them.
The use of sugar was restricted
from the LIST Of February. and during
the present year no manufacturer will
be allowed to use for confectionery or
chocolate more than so per cent OF
the sugar so used by him in 1915. The
use of winter mill, in making confec-
tionery was also prohibited-that is,
milk produced between February l
and April l. Ey the sugar-restrictions
order certain classes OF confectionery
were practically prohibited.
Appeal to Limit Consumption
The first attempt at rationing was
made on February 5, 1917, when the
food controller issued an appeal to the
public to limit its consumption Of
bread, meat, and sugar as follows:
Meat ration.-Meat includes bacon,
ham sausages, game, rabbits, poultry
and timed meats. The ration of IL
pounds per head per week means un-
cooked meat as bought from the
butcher and includes bones and fat.
Meals away from home.-House-
keepers are expected to reduce their
household consumption in respect of
members Of their household who take
meals away from home.
Cakes and puddings.-The allowance
OF -four for bread making is expected
to include that used for cakes, pud-
dings, etc.
Bread.-It is recognized that soma
housewives will not be able to afford
to buy the full allowance Of meat and
may consequently be compelled to ex.
coed, the bread allowance Of 4 pounds
per head per week. Id such cases they
are expected to keep. their purchases,

PEKING, China-China is making
vigorous efforts to free itself from the
unfavorable tariff regulations and 9th
er treaty entanglements which en-
barrass the country financially and
make it impossible for the republic TO

Both the Entente powers and the
neutrals have been appealed to by
the Chinese government in an effort
TO gain greater freedom from foreign
Interference in Chinese affairs.
The severance Of diplomatic rela.

its claims for fair treatment at the
hands of the foreign powers. DR..

V0LTAIRE'S VIEW OF DREAMS
Philosopher Gave Much Credence to
Mental Workings of Man
During Sleep.

Voltaire, semipagan philosopher
as he was, gave more Importance to
dreams than was to be thought prob
able in one so well endowed, observes
the indianapolis News. Dreams"
he said, "appear to me to have been
the sensible origin of primitive
prophecy or prediction. Dreams
which have come to pass are always
predictions which no one can doubt,
no account being taken of dreams
which are never fulfilled. How is it
that while the eyes see not, the ears
hear not, we, Notwithstanding, I'M

NATIONAL WAR CAP "TAI Ks"
Montenegro "kapa," Worn by Prince
and Peasant, mathematical of
Country's History.

The round cap, or kappa, that the
IMontenegrin soldiers wear is his
tory Of their country in miniature.
The people of Montenegro, writes a
correspondent of Parsons Weekly,
have saying that "kapa talks" and
they are not far wrong.
1t is the national headdress for
war, and it is the same for prince
and peasant. In color it is vivid
crimson, but it has deep black Dor
der, which leaves only small crown
of the foundation color visible.
The black border is a sign of
mourning for the terrible Battle of
Kossovo, when the old Serbian EN-
pire, of which Montenegro was
part, was overthrown by the Turks,
and the Serbian army was annihi-
lated. The red crown signifies "the
field of blood of the same great
fight. When Constantinople falls,
and their hereditary enemies are
finally driven out of Europe, then,
and not until then, will the Monte
'negrins remove the black border and
wear the kappa all red.
On the red crown, in one corner,
are five semicircles in gold. These
have double significance. They
symbolic first the five centuries that
have elapsed since Kossovo was
fought, and, secondly, the five colors
that the Montenegrins see in the
rainbow, the sign of hope that one
day the glories of the old empire of
the Gar Lazar will be restored

using glass cases for babies admitted

suit the children may be observed
without the necessity of entering
their rooms. Each child is supplied
with its own utensils, towels, bath,
etc. If one baby develops COM

it to give it to another. At some hos

if he were stricken with that dis
ease his chances of recovery would be

who is thinner than the average, on
the other hand, has less danger of
