AS his wages have been raised from 40 to 100 per cent. in the last three years the high cost of living 1 is felt less by the laborer than by people working on a fixed salary in the service of the state or, cities. These public employers have not made the
 salaries follow the increased cost of
 living. The result is that it has come
 to crisis for the civil service; young well fitted men resign their positions for better places with private em-
 ployers and the work in the govern mental departm ents is crippled.

Smuggling or the exportation of embargoed goods has been punished to the full extent of the laws It is claimed here that very little, if any, of the groceries or provisions bought from England, France or the United States is reach ing Germany through Norway

How woman wastes her charms

The reason is that women waste their Energy.
They not guilty of any big energy waste. But
their supply of Energy is drained by arnumber of little
taxes on their vitality which can be stopped
In walking, for example, most women waste
Energy. Walking is splendid exercise. But no
woman should walk in the city unless her feet are
properly shod for the city streets.
A woman wastes valuable Energy by wearing
leather heels,
Leather and wooden heels are totally unsuited for
city pavements because they are so hard
Every day the average woman takes 5000 steps.
That means 5000 shocks when the hard heels hit
hard sidewalks and floors. Each shock jars just
little Energy out of her system. These little energy
wastes multiplied by 5000 mean large drain on the
womans vitality. Every time you bring your leather
