PAID HIGH PRICES THEN. TOO
During Civil War Coffee Was Four
Times Present Price, Groceries
More Than Double.

! Some one has dug up an invoice
of bill of goods sold by a firm Of
wholesale grocers Of Keokuk, Ia, in
June, 1862, says the Philadelphia
Record, which shows that sugar was
SOS barrel and rice $3S, while tea
sold At $lo1 for a 95-pound chest.
Coffee WAS four times the present
nEce, and the same bill Of groceries
which then brought SCALA could be
purchased today for $291.61.
Those were the days Of the Civil
war, which accounts for the soaring
prices. Nowadays when people kick
over paying 9 or 10 cents a pound
for sugar and moderate sums for tea
and coffee, they may find some con-
ISOLATION in knowing that their grand
parents re in much worse plight.
CompaNd with most Of the world,
the United States is standing the
stress and strain of the present war
with comparatively little discomfort.

Atsned Air Fighter Fled Leaving
oemrsde but Returned 10 Battle
and Ills Death.

NJ Just how high-spiritcd the allied
aviator Is can only be guessed from
the stories Of his daily life that come
back No the civilian world.
Iaxmnce la Tourette briggs,
who has collected the hero tales Of
the air scouts on the western front,
says in recent issue of the Out
look; off medals and military
crosses were consistently awarded,
every airman would Of necessity be
almost daily decorated. His oppor-
tunities are always thick upon him.
EmbrsciHg death Is easy to the air
man, 3 impaired to the pain of con-
Tossing = shameful act 70 his fellows.
That kind Of torture eventually
drives the remorseful pilot to DELHI
crate suicide.
"The story Of one such episode is
well-known to the older members Of
our corps. One poor frightened lad
who fled in terror and left a fellow
scout alone to fight his way clear of
an overwhelming force returned
headlong into the combat few min
mites later and hurled his machine
deliberately into the nearest enemy
airplane. Both machines fell to-
gether, their wings broken and both
engines blazing with fierce flames.
BY common consent the enemy air
lighters withdrew from the field
all knowing too well the cause of this
terrible sacrifice. Impelled by that
noble chivalry of the air service they
paid tribute to this desperate act Of
atonement."

AFTERNOON TEA.

What is afternoon tea?" In the
food controllers regulations, says the
London Chronicle, no provision is
made for a supply of sugar for teas
IN the afternoon in factories and
business houses, and the Midland
food commissioner has asked for an
official ruling on the point. Lord
Rhondda replies that employees who
require cup of tea in the afternoon
must bring their own sugar from
home. Ii is urged, however, that in
large number of factories and busi-
ness houses in the Midlsnds where
girl employees work for long hours
tea in the afternoon is a practical
necessity. They intend therefore to
have another word with Lord
Rhondda.
