COST OF LIVING IN
 ITALY STILL CHEAP
Restrictions Responsible for Keep ing War Prices Down

Rome. April 20.-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-
 CTS menu has become limited by gov-
 ernmental degree forbidding the sale
 of meats and pastries on certain days
 of the week, but otherwise the cost
 of food has hardly doubled. In the
 country towns and on the farms little or no attention is paid to such re- strictions and there food Is scarcely dearer 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 shouldering the increased cost of wheat.
 Governmental regulations forbid ding the sale of meat on Thursdays and Fridays, and of cakes. pastry. 1 honey and chocolate on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, have not limit ! ed consumption but encouraged specu- lation in all foods. When sugar was | raised, it became difficult to buy and can now only be had in scent pack ages or on a purchase of coffee. When meat sales were restricted eggs were 1 sold at 5 to cents each. or were stored for a rise until huge quanti- ties were confiscated by the govern 1 ment..
 Politics and Eggs.
 The difficulties of housekeeping l 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 it is not unusual to see 1 diplomats, ambassadors, ministers, l consuls and others foreign officials go- ing to market and carrying home their own packages, since the storekeepers 1 dare not refuse them the articles re- fused the servants. l Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page has been one of the persons in Rome l to try to solve the flour. ham and l sugar problem by making an impor- 1 tation from the United States. At l present his Is the only family of the American colony in Italy which has ] ae much as a barrel of sugar on hand. 1 Some American families gave up
 housekeeping and went to live In ho- l tels but there. since the food restric-
 tions, they are unable to get butter l with their bread at breakfast. and in i many cases have to substitute honey l for sugar in their coffee, food SUD- 1 stitute not unlike the molasses sweet

 assuring the boys that the Jews in
 this city were behind them and that
 their wishes in the future if com
