PRICE CHANGES IN
CIVIL WAR ABOUT
SAME AS RECENTLY

! A striking similarity in the move
ment of prices during the Civil war,
as compared with the present war,
is brought out in the January num-
Der of the Monthly Labor Review,
published by the bureau of labor
statistics, United States depart
ment Of labor.
The chief differences in the price
movements as between the two
wars are that the rise began earlier
in the Civil war, that it was more
pronounced than in the present
war, and that the fall began earlier.
The basic chart shows wholesale
price fluctuations for 90 commodi-
ties by quarters from January, 1861.
to October. 1866, and for the same
articles or the nearest equivalents
by quarters from January, 1914, to
July, 1918. The quotations were
reduced to relatives on a basis of
100 for prices in 1860 For aver
ages medians are used-that is, the
median for date is the middle
point in a scale of prices ranged in
order from lowest to highest
In the Civil war the highest
point touched was 216 in January.
1865, which is IS points higher than
the median for the corresponding
month in the present war. Janu-
airy, 1918 In April. 1865. the me-
dian had dropped &c points below
the high level, while, so far as is
known, no general decline in prices
preceded the German surrender
last fall The differences are, how
ever, in general less striking than

NOW EATING FOOD
ONCE CONSIDERED
UNFIT FOR HUMAN

Winnipeg. Can.-War-tIme food
conservation campaigns in the Ca
madam northwest have changed the
appetites Of the people. Hundreds
of tons of fish and game. once
deemed unfit as food. are being
consumed each month throughout
the dominion.
Whale and fIatfish seem to lead
as sea foods. while beaver and 9TH
er fur-bearing animals, hitherto
unthought OF as table delicacies,
likewise are given prominent
places in tho food lists.
Whale meat, which failed to win
recognition IN Canada until last
summer, is being sold by the ton
from Vancouver to Halifax. The
dominion food boards success in
the campaign to market Pacific
fIatfish is indicated by the official
estimate that 100000 pounds have
been consumed IN six months.
Fishermen formerly threw away
this fish.
Until 1918 trappers retained only
the pelts of beavers. The Mime
sofa campaign in behalf of beaver
flesh as a food attracted attention
in Manitoba and hotels in this
province added beaver meat TO
their menus.
Later someone discovered that
chickens went wild over beaver"
and resulting experiments indicat-
ed that a diet of beaver meat i'm
proved the egg-laying qualities of
hens in cold weather.
Wild rice that grows in abund-
ance in the northern lake districts
also was ignored until American
and Canadian commission men in
eastern cities began making steady
demands for it. Canadian people
started eating it after it had gained
popularity in hotels.
Odd outfits resembling sail boats
have been constructed to thresh
the fields.

For Skin Tortures

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at S1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

START DISEASE
CLINIC AT ONCE
Rock Island TO Witness Establish
ment Of Dispensary at st. An
thongs Hospital by State.
PLANS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT
WIZ be First Step Toward Combat
ting FenereaI Infection In
Proper Manner.

The immediate future will see the
establishment Of a clinic at St. An
thongs hospital for the treatment
OF venereaI diseases. equipment for
which Is to be furnished by the
state through the United States
public health service. It is to be
maintained by the city after it's es-
adjustment.
At a special meeting held last
night at ST Anthony's hospital, at
tended by II county physicians, the
plans for starting such a clinic
were discussed and set forth by
DIR. G. G. Taylor, a member of the
state board OF health and a repre-
sentative of the United States pub
lie health service.
Persons infected with social dis
eases are to be treated and cured
free Of cost. Drugs will be fur
nished until the patients are pro-
nounced free Of infection. County
physicians and nurses will be call
ed on under the present plan to of
fer their services at the clinic
Rock Island will be one OF the
10 cities in which clinics are to be
started, the state furnishing only
sufficient funds for tins number A
clinic established at East St. Louis
is said to be progressing rapidly
in the campaign on social diseases
and the success of the local clinic
is prOnOun ced certain.
Every physician present at last
nights meeting favored the plan,
as did the authorities in charge of
the hospital, which is to furnish
the rooms for the clinic. Further
discussion OF the plans and The
taking Of necessary steps towards
its establishments will he presented
to the members of the Rock Island
County Medical society. in session
at the Rock Island club tonight.
Many Not Cured.
Statistics presented by DR.. Tay-
lor show that from so to 20 per
cent of the people infected with
venereal diseases are not in reality
cured, although believing they are.
Cause Of this is set forth as being
due TO patent medicines sold over
drug store counters. Druggists
gladly sell the medicines, but the
buyers suffer in the long run, the
state official pointed out.
While the diagnosis of the minor
diseases will be made at the local
clinic after its start, Wasserman
tests for syphilis will be made IN
der the direction OF the state board
at Springfield. State and govern
ment statistics show that one out
of every ten people in the county
is infected with syphilis.
The elimination Of this disease
as far as possible will be the en-
deavor OF the clinic officials in
charge of the ten laboratories to
be started in Illinois.

the general similarity, the bulletin
says.
The price fluctuations in certain
specific commodities, however, pre-
sent great diversity. In some arti-
Giles the Civil war rise was vastly
greater than the rise during the
present war. Such was the case
with anthracite coal, lead pipe, su-
gar, and hogs. The Civil war rise
in cotton was SO great that it was
not charted, because a chart drawn
to the scale used with other com
modities would be over a yard
high Wheat, wool and hides have
risen higher in the present war
han in the Civil war. The course
of prices Of iron, wire, cattle, corn,
copper, bituminOus coal and pota-
toes was not notably different.

Traffic SnarI Caused
In Nev York by Strike
(By Associated Press>

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-More than
two million persons. who ordinarily
travel daily over the Interborough
Rapid Transit company's subway and
elevated lines in Manhattan, the
Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens today
either took slow moving surface cars
and improvised conveyances or walked
to their work as a result of the strike
of the company'S $4,000 employees for
fifty per cent. increase in wages. AS
on Sunday when the strike became eff
fective, not a wheel turned on the
company's $50 miles of trackage.
The stoppage Of the main arteries Of
travel caused the worst traffic snarl
in the history of the city The narrow
streets in downtown New York were
fairly congested during the early
morning hour. A pouring rain added
to the discomfort.
Thousands of jitneys and buses,
operated by the city, filled beyond ca
pacity with workers, clogged the thor
oughfares. Thousands fought in vain
for standing room on each overloaded
trolley car. Trolleys and other
vehicles moved at a snail's pace.

MEXICO PREPARES TO
RECEIVE COLON|STS
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1S-How to
make homes for million prospective
new colonists, how to make these per-
sons fit into the scheme of life here
and how to distribute them over the
republic are questions of immigration
receiving the attention of a special
commission appointed by President
CarranZa.
According to data collected by this
committee on articles of first neces
sity one million persons will migrate
from various European and Asiatic
countries to Mexico, within the next
year. They are expected to leave
their native lands because of disrupted
conditions due to the war. Communi-
cations received here from England,
France, Germany and Russia indicate
that colonies of those nationals are
already being formed and will embark
for Mexico at an opportune moment.
Luis Luderty Rul, president of the
Investigating committee, has been
comes all dependable colonists.
The committee has made no an
nouncement as to the location Of the
various colonies; whether they are to
receive grants Of land or are to be as
simulated among the natives. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that there is suffi-
cient undeveloped land in the republic
to accommodate all home-seekers and
that equitable distribution will be
made as occasion demands.
Lower California at present appears
to be the goal of a large number of re-
patriated Mexicans who for the past
few years have been living in the
United States. Ell Democratic asserts
that within the next few months 5000
new Mexican families will be estab-
ished there.
