sI was too near all in to pluck any
souvenirs. l just figured I'd be ssuve-
mir enough if l got back. AS for
those German helmets, | wouldn't

WOMEN'S NEW SHOES
ONLY 9 INCHES HIGH

It's getting worse and worse every
day.
It's bad enough to have to skimp on
sugar and stun, but when 1t comes to
being forced to wear shoes only nine
inches high-well, you begin to learn
the meaning of the word sacrifice
And that's what you've got to do,
girls! Only niue miserable little inches
think of 1t! But the worst is yet to
come-you can only get them in six
colors in the future-black, white.
two shades of gray and two shades of
tan-and as like as not they'll all be
perfectly horrid shades that nobody
wants. Fancy a cerise gown with
either black. white. gray or tan slip
pers!
That's the program for next fall. ac-
cording to the decision Of the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturer AS
socianon in New York.
II you shorten the shoes, you've got
to lengthen the dresses. But maybe
the Boot and Shoe Manufacturers
didn't think of that.
It's a conservation measure.

Those boys are certainly winsome

the boys mother and the tragic
story OF her death at the time they

fore.
MY dear, I am telling no secrets

details, came out in the papers when

asked slyly. TT does not look to

Grandma Talks
About Babies
Has n Large Circle of Listeners
who Profit by Her wisdom
and Experience.

In almost any community there Is a
grandma who knows Mothers Friend.
Not only is she reminiscent of her
own experience. but 1t was through her
recommendation that SO many ex-
pectant mothers derived the comfort
and blessing of this famous remedy.
Mothers Friend is an external ap-
plication prepared especially for ex-
pectant mothers after the formula OF
a noted family physician. 1t certainly
has a wonderful effect in relieving
tension brought about by expanding
muscles, and Is a most grateful en-
couragement to the woman awaiting
motherhood.
The action Of Mothers Friend makes
the muscles free, plant and respon-
sive. When baby arrives they expand
easily. and pain and danger at the
crisis Ia naturally less.
Strain upon the nerves and ligaments
is lessened and in place OF a period
Of discomfort and consequent dread,
1t Is a season Of calm repose and
happy anticipation. IL.
Mothers Friend enables the mother
to preserve her health and natural
grace and she remains a pretty mother
by having, avoided the pain and suf-
fering which more often than other
wise accompanies such an occasion
when nature is unaided.
Write the Bradfield Regulator Co.,
ks, Lamar Bldg, Atlanta, Ca, for
their Motherhood Book" so valuable
to expectant mothers, and in the
meantime do not by any chance fail
to purchase a bottle of Mothers
Friend from the druggist and thus
fortify yourself against pain and
discomfort. Mothers Friend should
be applied night and morning with the
utmost regularity.-Ady.

PURCHASING POWER OF
GOLD REDUCED BY HALF
High Cost of Living Since
1914 Has SCARED to Un-
bounded Heights.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 28.-High
prices will prevail until the expansion
Of currency and credit resulting from
the buyig of war securities on credit
has been eliminated and until the vol
ume of credit and currency has been
reduced to a quality with the needs Of
industry and trade, declared A. G.
Miller, member of the federal re-
serve board, speaking today at a ses-
sion Of the annual convention here Of
the American economic association.
Tested by price levels in the lead
ing markets, gold has lost about half
its purchasing pawer since the begin
ming of the war in 1914, said Mr..
Miller. Gold as a standard Of ex
change has fallen In it's purchasing
power, he said, becaus it has sha red
the fate of paper currency from ris-
ing prices, which, on a wholesale ba-
sis, are up about 100 per cent. In the
countries where the gold standard
still obtains.
The embargo laid by this country
during the war on gold shipments
Mr.. Miller said, should be lifted at the
earliest practicable moment or as
soon as our international financial re-
lationships are such that we are no
longer under the necessity Of taking
care of adverse balances Of the ma
tions ~--ith which we have been asso-
ciated in the war arising out of their
trade with neutral countries.
