stockholm. April 2S.-The serious
ness of the food situation in sweden is
daily becoming more acute. The
miseres of the poor. constantly finding
their diet narrowed until it has reached
the stage wherexsalt herring and boiled

The scarcity of feed Is extending to
the livestock. Even If a person is fl

unable to find the poorest of fodder
for its sustenance. Horses are dying
of starvation.
Wages Beyond Reach.
Because OF the tremendous increase
in the price of building materials lit
tie construction work Is under way.
Bricks which formerly sold at three
fourths of n cent apiece, are now
bringing five cents. and the same con

raised to such heights that the aver
