FRENCH PRICES
EXCEED WAGES
Women Workers Struggle
to Meet High Wartime
Living Costs. q

Paris. France.-Men and wonsr
workers in France have been max
ing higher wages than ever before
But the high cost OF living moro
than nuilifes the increase.
Thousands Of women. many with
children, are working in shops foI
the first time. Many are employed
in the American army salvage de-
pots and Red Cross workshops.
Most OF these women earn about
'L35 a day. Men doing similar
work earn about 81 day. skiiiee
men, mostly partly disabled soldiers
can make 50 a day at piecewort
in factories.
Women with families have &C
work because their husbands either
have been killed in the war or ars
soldiers now. Soldiers get only
cents a day and women must worl
to support themselves. for the gov
eminent family allowance is rarely
adequate. Fortunately rents hsvs
not gone up.
Clever Mnrketcrs.
These women are clever nlarketerg
and by their acumen manage to keef
down somewhat the cost OF living.
They have 10, considering such prices
as these:
Beef. 50 cents a pound: was 50 be-
fore the war.
Potatoes. 51-2 to cents a pound.
Eggs. 81 a dozen: were 30 20 y
cents.
Butter. 81 a pound: was "a cents.
Cheese. IS to AZ cents a pound.
Milk, 3 cents pint; was about
cents.
Sugar. Is cents a pound doaf sugar,
% centsD.
A popular peasant meal always was
bread and cheese and cheap wine.
The bread. fortunately. has only gone
up from to cents a pound and
wine has not increa sed greatly. But
the government placed restrictions on
the use OF cream or milk for making
cheese.
Skilled worllmen who either escaped
army service through physical ina
bility or returned partly inoapacitat-
ed are getting greatly increased pay,
For example. stone masons used to
get about sl-2O a day before the war
Now they get s. a day.
UnskilIed laborers hired ny the
year formerly got $50 Now they
can't be had for less than SEQ a year.
eo-CeRt wage on Farns-
Vast numbers Of men and wumen
work ing on small farms got 90 cent?
and 20 cents day, respectively. Nov
the men get 50 cents a day and thres
bottles OF wine and the women II
cents and one bottle. The wine costs
the farmer about l. cents a bottle.
The small farmer has been anonc
the hardest hit. II his farm has been
spared him in the ruin Of war, he
faces increased labor cost. increased
cost Of horse feed and a SOC to 500 pei
cent increase in the price OF chemicsi-
products used in farming. And n
he has TO buy a horse, Il costs twice
as much as before the war.
Just what will happen to these wage
scales and the living cost is a prob
lem which the readiustmeut comunis-
sions are now considering.

they easily lived up to their promises
as there was something doing all the

Although these notices claim some

have been well worth while II the
show had been booked as laugh

the inimitable comedian, Dan Cole

then some.
The musical numbers rendered by
the talented company are about the
best that have been offered at the
Ninth street house to date, while the
large chorus. which IL made UP Of
real song birds. is a well-driIled one
and pleasing to look at.
The plotless two-act buriette is
staged in ten scenes which are well
produced, as the electric effect far
surpasses the general run Of bur

than weakened condition brought on by lack Of iron in the blood.
 Not long ago . man came to me who was nearly half century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was aStonished to find him with the blood pressure of boy of twenty and as full ot Vigor, vim and vitality as Q young man; in fact Q young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron NuXated Iron had filled him with re- newed life. At thirty he was il bad health; a. forty-six he was care worn and nearly all in. Now at 30 after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vi- tality and his face boaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolute ly necessary to enable your blood 10 change food into living tissue. Without It no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good, and as con sequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking. just like q plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without be- coming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nux- ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. 1 have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who were ailins all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months with out obtaining any benefit.
 Bu. don't take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The ron demanded by Mother Nature for her red coloring matter in the blood of her children is alas. not that kind of iron. You must take iron ina aformthat can be easily absorbed and as3imilated like nuxated iron if you want 1t to do you any good, otherwise il may prove worse .han useless. Many an athlete ply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray. while many an other has gone down to inglorious de feat simply for the lack of iron"

Preparations are under way to give the 26 local draft recruits a rousinr send"f on June 20, the day of their in duction into tho army service. The entertainment to the dcpartinr roais- Strants will be under the auspices of the Loyal Legion and committees are now at work formulating a program. The plans are still in a tentative stage but will be announced within a day or two. It is practically decided. how ever that the boys will be given a "big feed" prepared by the ladies of the Req Cross and others and there will be speechmaking and other ceremonies The boys will be inducted into the service on Barracks Square at 10 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, weather permitting, with ceremonies required by the draft regulations and will depart for Ft. Davis within the six hours required by the regulations. If the weather conditions are such as to make 1t impracticable to hold the ceremonies in the open. arrangements will be made to transfer them to a hall.
 The rcgistrants will be taken to Ft Davis in automobiles when their time is up and will report to the commander for service with the colors Although, as indicated above, the arrangements are still undeined, it is probable that the city will be turned over to the recruits during the six hour interval and every effort will be made to show them the honOrs to which they are en- titled as defenders of their country's honor and safety.

a most remarkable and wonderful ef- fectice remedy.
 Dr. II. B. Vail. formerly Physician Tn the Baltimore Hospital, and a Med ical Exanlner says: Throughout my experience on Hospital staffs and as Medical Examiner, I have been aston lshed at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various dis cases when in reality the deli. cate, run-doWn state was simply the result Of lack of iron in the blood Time and again l have prescribed or Sanic irOn-Nuxated Iron-and sur prised patients at the rapidity with which the weakness and general de- bllity were replaced by a renewed feel ing of strength and vitality. l took Nuxated Iron my self to build mo up after a serious case of nervous cx- haustion. The effects were apparent after few days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in a superb physical condition"
 NOTE-NuXated Iron, which is pre- scribed and recommended above bv physicians in such great variety of cases, IS not Q patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by  eminent physicians both in Europe and in America. Unlike the older in organic iron products, it is easily as- simulated. does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well- as for nervous, rundown conditions The manufacturers have such great confi- dence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $10000 to any charitable in- sti:ution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron. and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time, pro- vided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if 1t does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days .ime.
