Four particularly big events loom
ahead on the horizon of Chester
Parks season. Unlike most summer
park outings, which are usually limit
ed to narrow circle of those inter
each of these affairs has great public
appeal so that Chester, Cincinnati's
most popular summer resort, is bound
to be the center of interest over an
important period First among these
events is the Patriotic Pure Food
Show, August to Is, under the aus
pices of the Hamilton County (Ohio)
Branch of the Council of National
Defense, and the Board of Health,
Government, State and Local Edu-
cational Exhibits will be featured in
this and there will be displays by
about rs concerns of National inn
tor F. C. Croxton, Mayor Calvin and
Hamilton County Food Administrator
r. B. Blume, will be the principal
speakers at the opening of the show,
August 9th. There is also a possi-
bility that Governor Cox may come to
Cincinnati either for the opening or
during the show to make an address.

The Simple LIfera.

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is a simple lifer. There are so
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
in with prohibitions that we are MAX
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the large
majority of us are feeling all the bet
ter for 1t. We walk where we once
motored, and the exercise sets the
stagnant blood In our veins running
with fresh vigor. We eat less and di-
gest more. Sc little have we felt the
deprivation that most OF us are de-
claring that for the future 1t is to be
the simple life forever" There are,
Of course, some who struggle in their
absurd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time is mainly spent In evading
the orders Of the food controller, or in
discovering new sources of extrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
OF simple lifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours if we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
The simple lifer" is doing his duty
and that is why he is happy. His
is the vision without which, as Solo,
mon told us, ''the people PERISH

economical f1uspanu.

The conversation in the lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to subject
of wartime economy when a fitting
anecdote was related by Congressman
Porter FL. Dale Of Vermont.
Recently the Browns moved into a
new house, and not liking the wall
paper in the dining room, Mrs. Brown
decided to have it repapered at her
own expense. The work was done
while Brown was at the office.
II want you to look at the dining
room, Jimmy" said little wifey when
the old man returned at the dinner
hour and was proudly led into that
apartment. How do you like it?'
II like the paper all right" replied
Brown, just a little emotionally, "but
why In the world did you use paste
in putting 1t on?"
"Paste' was the wondering rejoin-
er Of the good woman. "How else
could have put 1t on?"
"You should have put 1t on with
tacks," declared the economical hus-
band. "You don't suppose we are go

Food Prices Increased
63 Per Cent In 5 Years

Washington-The bureau of labor
statistics reports that the retail price
of food for the United States in May,
1913, increased SO per cent over May,
1913. Every article increased 38 per
cent or over. The smallest increase
was in potatoes, SO per cent Three
articles increased 100 per cent or
more.
Between May Is, 1918, and May Is,
1917, food as whole increased 5 per
cent. Seven of the 25 articles recorded
showed a decline. Potatoes declined "a
per cent; onions, 35 per cent; flour,
"a per cent; sugar, 8 per cent; beans,
Z per cent; cheese, l per cent; and
coffee, less than / per cent.

And She WONDERED
Mrs. BilItops Really Doubted
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thing Until Ex-
PLANTATION Dswned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

"We keep" said Mr.. Billtops, ''a
record of Mrs. Billtops weight. There
is drug store in our neighborhood
which we pass In our daily walks
where they have nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop in there and weigh Mrs.
Billtops: and then, when we get
home, set the weight down in the
record.
1.-THE greatest difference between any
two weights taken SO far this year is
two pounds while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths of pound.
So you can see her weight is running
very true.
''It might seem that all this was
rather q humdrum commonplace per-
Torrance TO go through, but really
there's good deal Of variety to 1t.
''For instance, in winter, when she
is wearing heavy cloak, we weigh
Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down In the rec
ord.
$50 you see 1t Is not all quite SO
simple as it seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter-weight spring coat,
we ran into a regular incident.
after weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with 1T onl
Mrs. Billtops and looked at each
other in mild amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed!
II am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as / am, but we
both laughed at that; and really /
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get lot Of fun out of weigh

Another feature of the big event
will be a monster parade All the or
ganizations of the city have been in
vited to participate and many have
signified their intention of doing so.
The amusement committee have pro-
vided number of amusements and
special attention will be given to the
entertainment of the little folks who
attend the outing.
L. R. Hyans, one of the hustiers for
the outing, has received word from
Grand Chancellor Wormwood of Ere
mont, and Grand Keeper of Records
and Seals Beatty, of Toledo, that they
would be here to attend the outing.
Many lodges in other cities will send
large delegations.

German suhterfuoe.

The Almanach de Gotha, annually
made in Germany" was well known
before the war as the social register
of Europe, kind Of "Burke's Peer
age" of the continent. Naturally it
has been ostracized for some time from
the best allied society, and now it is
entirely superseded by the Almanach
de Bruxelles, which, In first edition,
has recently met warm welcome In
France. The German publication, it
appears, has been a powerful channel
of espionage Officials of every coun-
try In the world have innocently sup
piled it with information about promi-
nent people, family trees, armies, ma
vies, and what not. Some of this In
formation was ostentatiously paraded
on the pages of the Almanach, but
one would like to know how much of
1t went privately into the files of the
German intelligence department.

COney Island

Many hundreds of people who
thought no summer was complete
without trip to the seashore are now
Hooverizing and with benefit to them
selves, their pocketbooks and the war
chest of the United States Govern
ment. They are enjoying the "sea
breezes" that sweep over the decks
of the Coney Island steamers Island
Queen and Morning Star and at a
minimum of expense. Said a Cincin-
att business man.
Il never really appreciated Coney
Island until this season. In previous
summers | used to send the family
away to the seashore for the entire
summer as | believed it was the only
way to assure myself that they
keep fit and healthy would take
six weeks vacation at the seashore
myself during midsummer and in adj
dition would make about four extra
trips so as to be with my family as
much as possible. This summer has
opened my eyes and increased my
Liberty Bond and Thrift Stamp hold
ings as we'll as permitted me to add
more to my Red Cross donations.
And the family is healthier and hap
pier than ever
:. .eay Are eager to go to their "a
vorite> playplace on the early boats.
In our search Cor summer fun at the
least cost so as 20 add 20 our Liberty
Bonds and Thrift Stamp investments
as well as donations to various war
activities we discovered that you can
purchase at the Broadway warf, for
rs cents, rs cent noon luncheon
ticket which also is good for round
trip on the Coney Boats. My wife,
sister-in-law and two Oldest children
take advantage of these. My two
younger children, being under IL years
pass through the boat gates free, as
the management has made that gen
erous ruling for all children. My
brother and | generally sail on the
late afternoon boats after the days
business and we sail free by the simple
expedient OF purchasing dollar
ticket apiece, at the warf. This pro-
vides our fare and each Of the tickets
is good for a dollar in the clubhouse.
We have happy, healthful family
gathering every evening on the Coney
Clubhouse porches, with wonder
full cabaret that costs not a penny
and free vaudeville which is as good
as the best high-priced winter vaude-
vile you ever saw. And for all-round
fun, Coney Island can't be equalled.
When business friends come to town
and want to talk business to them l
take them to Coney. 1t puts them in
good humor which, as every business
man knows, is an aid to smooth tran
saction of business. No more seashore
for mine Coney Island forever"
