The proprietors. have so much faith in the curative powers. of Halls Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that 1t falls to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

many.
BY the spring Of 1916. butter and
meat had become extremely scarce in
Berlin. My wife had remained in
America, where she had accompanied
me In the summer of 1915. and during
her absence dined at hotels and res
taurants where the food was still
rather good. In June. 1916. left for
America again and just as I was leav-
ing meat cards were issued for the
first time.
I returned to Berlin with my family
in October. 1916. Conditions had
changed considerably for the worse
during the summer. found that ev-
cry one who had the money had
bought up every. available pound Of
food and soap which had not already
been commandeered by thef govern
ment. Butter. potatoes. eggs. milk,
-four. sugar. soap. bread and meat
and dry groceries were all rationed.

the shops, sometimes all night, to
await the morning opening.
Shopping by the card system was
very complicated and the quantities
permitted by the ration cards SO small
that a well balanced meal was an i'm
possibility. To dine in a restaurant 1t
was necessary to take a whole pock-
etful of cards and make a careful
analysis of them before ordering the
meager meal which the law allowed.
Empty boxes were used to decorate
the depleted show windows of the
shops The fact that they were empty
was not known to the public and very
often the windows would be broken
by hungry mobs. who couldn't resist
much food. This led the government
to order the shopkeepers to label the
boxes Empty Boxes" in order to
avert such disturbances and riots.
Nothing But Substitutes.
There was simply nothing to buy
in the food line except substitutes,
and of these there were hundreds,

She has advised him on many
of his most difficult cases until
she has acquired skill in un-

Ridgeway and his pals are
