PRICES DURING CIVIL WAR
Sugar $5s Barrel, Rice $31.3e a Bar
rel, Tobacco, Tea and Coffee Much
Higher Than Now.

High as prices are, it may be some
consolation to know that they are still
below the Civil war records: Sugar
then sold for sos barrel, rice ut
$31.38 barrel, tobacco at more than
double the present price, and tea at
over 500 for a 25-pound chest as
compared with the present price of
about $40. Coffee was then four times
as high as 1t is at present, says Les
lies.
If the difficulty in getting hold of
sugar makes the American people real
lie we are at war, and inspires in
them willingness to follow Mr.. HoOv-
er's suggestions rs to ecOnomiZing in
the use of certain foods, 1t will have
accomplished some good.
While complaining of food scarcity,
it Is well for our people to know how
little food others have. The German
ration contains Al of a pound of body
building protein as compared with
LOS in the standard ration. The Ger
man ration Is not sufficient to main
tain bodily health and vgor, but the
civil population in the occupied dis
tricts of France and Belgium have to
exist on even less than this.

BIG ATTRACTION FOR SCENIC
"Freckles" Will Be Seen at Local
Playhuse Next Week

One of the most important offer
ings of the current season at the
Scenic Theater, is the first presen-
tation here of Neil Twoney's de
lightful dramatization of Gene
Stratton-Porter's charming story,
"Freckles" which is announced for
Wednesday Jan. 16.
The fact that there have been more
readers of this story than any other
book published in a decade-a fair
estimate is in the millions-makes
the dramatization of the utmost i'm
portance to the dramatic world.
"Freckles" as song play is
stronger than "Freckles as a story
The characters live, love and have
adventure, one can hear and see,
there is nothing left to the immagi-
nation. The Broadway Amuse-
ment Co., under whose management
the present tour is conducted, has
made the production of "Freckles"
exceedingly elaborate, and has as
sembled a company of unusual ex-
cellence for the presentation of this
charming song play.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles and
other characters are by the Vienn-
ese composer, Ahatol Friedland, and
are novelty from musical point
of view. The Woodland Fantasy
played during the play is master
piece. Seats are now on sale at the
Barclay Hotel.

POPE PLAYS JOKE ON ARTIST
Quotes Bible Verse to Verify Genuine
ness of Portrait of Himself Execut-
ed by an American Painter.

Pope Benedict Is known to have q
aeen sense of humor. 1t has lately
been expended upon an American resi-
dent In Rome who thinks himself
portrait painter, says II Rome CORE
spondent.
This gentleman, with the best inten-
tions asked the pope for permission
to paint his portrait which would
later grace the walls of the Vatican,
alongside of the masterpieces of the
universe.
The pope granted the request, but
stipulated that he should give only
one sitting, and that the portrait
should be finished by help of photo
graphs.
The portrait was finished recently.
The artist found it so good that he
longed to have it shown first in Amer
lea, lest his fellow citizens should re-
proach him for hiding such Il work of
art In Italy, without giving them
chance of admiring his genius. 70 this
the pope graclously agreed. But the
artist went further.
AS there are so many spurious por-
traits of the pope, would his holiness
write few lines to prove to skeptical
Americans that the artist had really
painted the masterpiece? The pope
promised few words in few days.
They arrived. To the painters aston
ishment-and chagrin-they proved to
be from the Gospel of st. Matthew,
chapter IA :27. They ran: ut is |; be
not afraid"
