T0ASTS OF RUSTIC ENGLAND
As Might Be Expected, Many Of Them
Have to Do With Eating
and Drinking.

A good rustic toast is likely to be
concerned with beef and beer, like that
comprehensive toast of Arcadian wilds,
THE Nine B's," which Is as much as
to say: Bakers best bread, butchers
best beef and brewers best beer. In
another form 1t runs: "The inside of
a loaf, the outside of u Jail, a pound
of ~beaksteak and a pot of good ale"
The pillow is toasted by an enigma:
Life before, dead In the middle and
body and soul behind" The shy car
ter gives for a toast, "Scorched bread
and well tuttered," adding, "if that
amt toast, I'm bothered" Some toasts
are a little unkind, as: MAY i'm as
wunt wurrk In the eat go 'ungry when
the frostes come" To a farmers wife
1t Is polite TO raise your glass with the
words: "'Ere's good 'ealth to zee,
mum. an may yer allus ave the
strength to push about same as yew
does now. and set a pattern L all the
farmers wives way 'round."-LondoD

calm In the Lake of Galilee under its

clasps the fast-fowing Jordan by
breathless Jericho.
In the spring the land is decked In
garlands of orange and almond bios
SONS amid myriads of tiny, vivid-hued
flowers. And the indomitable will Of
Judaea speaks In the low, stony,
rounded hills with their determined
tufts of growth. 1t is as If Judaea
said to the world: mo ravager can

Palestine is ageless, running the ga

In grand military style and said:

Fameus AmerIean cIIpper ship.


In the days Of the famous clipper
ships, the American vessel was sec.
ond to none, writes Frederick A. Col.
Inns In Boys Life. No other country
could build ships at once 70 staunch
and 80 speedy. Records were estab-
lished which have never been sur
passed by sailing craft and, even with
the s Of steam. were not bettered for
nearly half 4 century. In 1852 the
Sovereign of the Seas sailed 4S6 miles
In a single day. The Lightning crossed
the Atlantic in Is days 20 hours, and
the James Blaine Of $500 tons made
the voyage from Boston to Liverpool
In IL days and 8 hours. Although
America led the way with the FIRST
transatlantic steamship, she allowed
the sovereignty Of the seas to slip
gradually from her. At the beginning
of the war most Of her tonnage was
afioat OF the great lakes or engaged
In coastwise trafic. and her deep-sea
fleet was small.

HIGH COST
OF LIVING
Efforts for Relief Inaugurated
i'm Several Countries By
Government

Washington, Nov. 12.-That the
whole world is struggling with the III
creased cost of living, is Indicated In
reports to the State Department. Ihe
increases in Europe are particularly
high although in Latin America the
governments are anxious over the
situation and are trying to find means
of combating the difficulties presentc1
by the high prices of commodities
deemed essential.
In Portugal the government, in an
attempt to lower the cost Of living
has placed, through the Minister Of
Fiance, part of its gold reserves IN
the banks Of Lisbon.
In England, the cost of living
above pre-war level IS fiS2r"ei at 10
percert for September and t2o per
cent for October, as u actual neces-
sites of life and hased upon average
living con,ii:ions of waga carriers. "A
more distinct rise has occurred IN the
cost of commodities so far as the otner
elements of population IN En2':lila
are concerned, being unoflcially estl-
mated by some at approximately l5o
percent with a steady upward treno.
In Sweden. figures furnished by the
Swedish government indicate that the
cost of living has increased 1oi per-
cent over the cost in June 1914. IN
the cities the increase has been very
much greater than the average Tor
the country.
The Argentine Government has sug-
sested to other South American coun-
tries and discussed with them an IN
ternational arrangement with a view
ito doing away with import duties on
manufactured food products as one
means of cutting down high cost CT
living. Information which has reached
the state Department regarding TINS
nlan is to the effect that a suggestion
has been made chat conference be
Icalled by the Argentine Minister for
Foreign Affairs to discuss this ques-
ton of exchange, Of real necessiues
