MILK GONE; SUGAR SCARCE.
Fuel and Food i'm Richest City in the
World Has Become Scarce.

New York, Oct. 19.-Thousands of
families here had their first real taste
of wartime scarcity today. Milk,
sugar and coal were difficult to Sc
cure, the latter practically impossible
in certain quarters, even at the
largely advanced prices many dealers
charged.
The strike of drivers of the Bor-
den Milk company, which became ef-
fective this morning, cut off the sup
ply of thousands of homes. Sugar
grew very scarce today. Many deal
ers had none to sell. Others charg-
ed as high as Is cents a pound, and
found ready sale even at that high
price.
James H. Post, chairman of the
American refners committee of the
federal food administration, urged
people to economic in every way
in the use of sugar. He declared the
shortage is likely to grow more acute
until perhaps the first of December.
when new raw material is expected
to relieve the situation.
Mayor Mitchell, after consultation
with DR.. Henry Moskowitz, declared
it will be necessary to put the new
city market plan into operation as
quickly as possible, in view of the
food emergency situation.
A resolution was passed by the
board of estimates to investigate re-
ports that food speculation is being
practiced in the city. The state food
commission will cooperate in the in
vestigation.
DR.. Moskowitz's proffer of his serv-
ices as mediator in the milk drivers
strike is likely to be accepted by a
committee of the International Team
strs' Brotherhood, it was stated this
evening. The Bordens have already
signifed their willingness to accept
his offices in mediation. DR.. Mosko-
witz expressed hope that milk will be
delivered as usual tomorrow.
The coal shortage grows more
acute. All that has stood between the
present situation and real suffering
by poor people has been the moderate
temperature. The city's supply is al
most entirely exhausted and dealers
declare today they do not know where
or how to get any more.
Efforts, it was said, are being made
to secure the release of a large num-
Der of cars of coal now held in New
Jersey.

"GRANDEST IN THE
WORLD" SHE SAYS.
Mrs. Simmons Says She Feels Like a
Girl.-Had Suffered Thirty Years.

Il don't believe there is another
medicine in the world that equals
Vitona and l never intend to be with
out it as long as l live," said Mrs.
Alice Simmons, who resides at II
South Lawn Street, Atlanta, Ca,
few days ago. Il am giving this
statement simply because feel it my
duty, so other sufferers may know
what this wonderful discovery will
do.
For thirty long years-nearly
half of my life-I suffered with kid
ney trouble. My condition kept get
ting, worse until my health became
completely shattered. I had awful
pains in my sides and back and had
such terrible headaches at times my
head felt like it would burst open.
My limbs ached and I was nervous
and irritable all the time, and didn't
know what it was to get a good
nights rest. l would get up every
morning feeling tired and worn out
and would just drag myself around
the house all day feeling about half
dead. 1 seemed to be losing weight
and strength every day.
Il also had stomach trouble and
lost my appetite almost entirely
What little ate did more harm than
good. My blood was bad, too, and
there just didn't seem to be any end
to my troubles.
Il will always thank the friend
who told me about Vitona, for it has
almost made new woman out of me.
In fact, / feel better than | have
since | was a girl and think this is
wonderful after being sick so long.
| don't have those awful pains in my
back and sides like I did, the head
aches have disappeared and l have
more strength and energy than | have
had in years. l have gained a great
deal in weight. l sleep we'll, have a
good appetite and am not nervous
like was. feel just fine.
"My husband and children have al
so taken Vitona with wonderful results
and | have recommended it to many
of nv friends. 1t overcame my trou-
bles after everything else failed and

medicine in the world that equals it. y

GAIN ON WATER; SUFFER IN AIR.
Raiding Cruisers Sink 2 British De-
stroyers and 8 Merchantmen.

Germany scored on the water in
Saturdays news developments, which
recorded the breaking up of mer-
chant convoy in the North sea by
raiding cruisers that sank two Brit
ish destroyers and nine of the twelve
conyoyed ships. She suffered little
less than a disaster in the air, how
ever when four and probably five Zep-
pelin airships believed to be return
ing from raid on England were
brought down in French territory by
airplane and anti-aircraft gun fire.
The sea tragedy cost the British
the lives of 1875 of the officers and
men on the destroyers, who were
left to their fate by the German raid
ers in their haste to escape, as were
the crews of the sinking merchant
men.
Hundred Reach Shore.
About 100 of the merchant sail
ors, however, are known to have
reached the shore in boats or on Brit
ish patrol craft. All except three
trading ships were of scandinavian
nationality, most of them apparent
ly being small vessels.
The nature of the raiding warshlps
is not exactly apparent. The British
admiralty describes them as very
fast and heavily armed, while Berlin
in it's report refers to them as light
sea fighting forces They escaped
the vigilance of the British guard
ships under cover of darkness, both
on their outward and their homeWard
trips.
ReverSeS in Air.
The story of Germany's reverse IN
the air began with the account of a
raid on England last night, in which
the bombs the Zeppelins dropped kill
ed twenty-seven persons and injured
fiftv-three others. Reports soon be-
gan to be received, however, OF Zep-
pelins being brought down in France
These were at first supposed to be-
long to an independent raiding fleet

day however, declared them to be

The fleet has started northward
from Moon sound, possibly with the
intention of endeavoring to escape
through the tortuous channels and
maze of islands lying between them
and the Gulf of Finland, or, it is pos
sible that the Russian armada, in
ferior in gun powder and tonnage,
has sailed forth from the sheltered
waters where it took refuge last
week, to give battle to the dread
naughts and other craft comprising
the German fleet.
The announcement of the sailing of
the f1otilla is contained in the latest
German official communication which
says the Russians left behind the
wreck of the battleship Slava, which
was sunk in last Wednesdays battle,
and four other vessels that have run
aground since the naval activities in
the Gulf of Riga began. If the Rus
slams are endeavoring to make their
escape, instead of offering battle,
doubtless their destination is Reval,
the Russian fortress situated on the
Gulf of Finland, in Northern Esth-
onia.
Meanwhile. the Germans have cap
tured in it's entirety the island of
Dago, lying at the southwestern en-
trance to the Gulf of Finland, and
also the island of Schildau, situated
between Moon Island and the Esth-
oman coast of the Gulf of Finland.
Several hundred prisoners were taken
on Dago Island, to be added to the
large number captured during the
past week on Oesel Island.

were far from the sea when they fell.
One of them was chased through sew
eral districts of Central France before
being finally disposed of. The fact
that none of them dropped any bombs
in France seems to indicate that they
had exhausted their supply previous
ly.

FOOD RESTRICTED
Switzerland Finds Itself Punched by
the War to an Extent Where
Meat Is Scarce.

Berne, Feb. 90 (via Paris). Feb. a.
The Bundesrat announced this after
noon the, long awaited restriction of
food distribution whereby Switzerland
will have henceforth two meatless
days weekly, must do without whipped
cream and other similar dishes and
must limit it's egg consumption. The
regulations regarding meat prescribed
that on two days week the use of
beef. pork, goat meat mutton and
horse meat is forbidden in hotels, res
taurants and private houses. The egg
and fish supply of Switzerland is de-
clared to be very meagre.
In the interest of the conservation
Of the milk supply the sale of whipped
cream is forbidden in all public places
such as cafes and pastry shops. The
same provision forbids the giving OF
more than IS grams of sugar with a
tea or coffee order and limits the ouan.
tity of sugar which may be used for
frostines. Butter may be served only
at breakfast or at meals at which no
meat or egg dishes are supplied and
may no longer be used with cheese.
The use of eggs in making pastry is
also prohibited.
The Bundesrat says that these reg
ulations are issued because it is pref

Toxic, Japan, Feb. 24-The Nichi
Niche announces that an armed mer'
chairman is raiding commerce in the
Indian ocean and has sunk two British
steamers southwest Of Colombo.
mail dispatch to the Associated
Press from Tokia under date of Janu-
airy 10 said that persistent rumors
were afloat in Japan that two German
converted cruisers had appeared in
the Indian ocean. The dispatch stat
ed that the Japanese navy department
had ordered an investigation Of the
report and that several warships of
high speed had been detailed for pat
rol duty in the neighborhood of Singa-
pore. Panang and other points on In
dian ocean routes. At the same time
the Bombay branch of tho Nippon
Yusen Kaisha. one Of Japan's greatest
shipping concerns, reported sudden
rise in war insurance rates because Of
the rumored raiders. The Japanese
government was said to have taken
special mea sures for the protection of
the empires shipping, among which
was the arming of several steamers
plying between Japan and England
with 3-inch guns manned by gunners
from the imperial navy.
Since the destruction of the famous
German raider, the cruiser Emden, in
the Cocos islands by the Australian
cruiser Sydney in November, 1914, the
waters Of the far east have been undis-
turbed by German commerce raiders.
The Emden sank three British
steamers in the Indian ocean on Sep
TENDER IA, 1914 and week later bonn
barded Madras. She was next heard
from near Rangoon, where more Brit
ish vessels were her prey. Her final
and most celebrated exploit occurred
when she disguised herself as Japa-
nese merchantmen, steamed unchal-
lenged under the guns of the, British
fort in the harbor of Penang and tor
pedoed the Russian cruiser Jemtchus
and French destroyer.
