WAR HAVING VERY
 SERIOUS EFFECT ON |. THE BRYCE HOSPITAL
Loss of Doctors and Nurses May Make It NecessarytO Turn Patients Back
 on Counties
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, September 24.- (Special) Governor Henderson. Sam Win John. vice president of the Bryce insane hos pital and the local board of the in- stitution of which c. E. Werner of Tuscaloosa is chairman. has repre- sented to the Secretary of War that un- less physicians and nurses be excused from the operation of the draft, it will be necessary to close the institution and turn inmates back to the counties of the state from which they were sent to the hospital.
 such a course would be regarded as calamitous by those writing the government. The representation is to the effect that since the declaration of war 106 physicians and nurses. em- ployed in caring for the lsoo and more patients, have entered the service and that as result the hospital is in se- rious condition. It is sand that if only those in attendance who are above 45 years of age are retained the num- Der, including Dr. Searcy, superintend- ent, will be only three. The probable action of the war department is not in- dicated tonight.

 The total number of men in the navy at the close of Wilson's first administra- tion, including naval reserves, was S3,325. At the present time, after r months in the war, there is navy composed of 56l,- 735 officers and men, with correspond ing increase of ships.
 During the early days of the war" he continued, folks were heard to say: This is a rich mans war and a poor mans s fight

crepancy, is hardly a coincidence; it
is the result of pronounced differ
ence of opinion and of method.
Rent, Clothing, Etc.
Officials at the food administration
explain that the major part of the
increased. cost Of living is due not to
food but to rent, clothing, transporta-
ton and other items, and especially
due to the advanced standard of liv-
ing. The food administrations COM
pilations are based solely on the sta
tistical basis of the nations expendi-
lures for food at Wholesale. The labor
departments figures are based on in

amounts to, inclusive of all the items
Of the average family budget Of
working man, was stated recently by
the bureau of labor statistics on in
vcstigations in various Pacific coast
cities. Compared with costs six
months previously the cost Of all cs-
sential living expenses had increased
in Seattle 1910 per cent, in Tacoma
20.7 per cent, in Portland 1898 per
cent, in San Francisco 1886 per cent,
in Los Angeles 11.89 per cent. The
item of clothig taken separately, in
creased for the same period in the
same districts, respectively, 2582 per
cent, 1892 per cent. 27.63 per cent,
1920 per cent and 1920 per cent. The
increase since then, Of course, has
been enormous.
Increase to Farmers
The food administration in its re
port admits there has been more than
3.5 per cent increase in prices paid
to farmers but contends that this is
reduced in actual household purchas-
ing by a reduction of speculation and
between farmres and Wholesale prices
under food regulations, that is, that
the food administration has been able
to make a 35 per cent increase to the
farmers and only a 3 l-2 per cent in
crease to the consumers.
Comparative Figures
Comparing again the two state
mentsl Of the food administration and
the labor department, showing the
percentage increase compared with a
year ago:
Department of labor: Bread and
flour (no figures); rice, 2G, increase !;
sugar (no figurcs) decrease.
Meats: Chuck roast, 80 increase:
round steak, 27 increase; rib roast, 20
increase; sirloin steak, plate boiling
beef and bacon, 2G increase; hens, 3S
increase.
Food administration: Breadstuffs
9.3 increase; vegetables, 63.l de-
crease; sugar, ia decrease; fruits,
30.5 increase; oils ana nuts, 543 in.
crease; fish, 60 decrease; meats, 20.08
increase; poultry AID eggs, 2G.5 in
crease; dairy products, G.3 increase
The increased retail prices for all
food staples combined, retail figures
for August compared with July, was
owing mainly to the decreased costs
for the month of beef, ham, lamb and
navy beans. Pork chops and eggs
show the greatest increases. Bread,
potatoes and coffee did not change in
the month.
Increase in Five Years
Making comparison Of costs now
with costs five years ago, the labor
department finds a combined increase
of 10 per cent Of G7 staple articles for
which prices have been obtained sys
tematically in the last five years. All
of these articles show increases of 81
Der cent and more and four of them
increases more than 100 per cent as
follows:
Meat, 1877 per cent; lard and flour
JOG per cent; potatoes, 1O5 per cent.
Whatever the disparity of the in,
creased cost Of food between the labor
department and the food adminstra-
ton, officials Of both establishments
attribute much Of the additional living
expenses to an elevated standard of
existence by the working classes.
