 The papers and the more spirited and farseeing men are sounding the alarm of a fuelless winter. The Inter Allied coal commission has been try ing to provide at least modicum of fuel for city utilities, but they admit it will be only a pittance of the nor nal supply. All around the city the beautiful forests are being cut down for firewood, and fuel is the one de- mand.
 The hotels answer the query of every guest or prospective guest, "No, we do not hope to have heat or hot water, only fire for cooking

Elderly People Have A
 Daily Health Problem
Stomach muscles and digestive organs
 slow to act as age advances

N HOST people find the years slipping by WI without realizing it. until suddenly confronted with the fact that they can no longer digest everything they would like to eat It then becomes their daily task to avoid what they know to be chronic constipation.
 When exercise and light diet fail it will be necessary to resort to artificial means. Strong physics and cathsrtics. however. arc not ad- visable for elderly people. They act too powerfully and feeling of weakness results.
 What IS needed IS a laxative containing effective but mild properties. This Is best found in Dr. Caldwcll's Syrup Pepsin which Is combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. It acts gently and with out griping, and used a few days will train the digestive organs to do their work natur- rally again without other aid.

VIENNA IS REALLY !, A STRICKEN CITY
Austrian Capital Still Preserves
 Pre-War Atmosphere

Vienna, Nov. 2S-OutWardly Vienna X actually this great city is stricken Dozens of theaters and operas are open, cafes and music halls are crowded, but 8 very large part of the 7 population is in poverty, lacking not only food and clothing but a place to live. The streets are thronged, shops opened, shop windows filled with the articles of luxury for which Vienna is famous but the better part or the stock is to be found in the WlndoWs.
 Virtually everything is priced in hundreds of crowns. Austrian money, paper only and .unbacked by precious metal, goes steadily down. Even the swarms of beggars that infest the streets look responsibility at any thing less than the pink piece of paper that indicates two crowns. It costs hundred crowns to go few blocks by carriage, taxicabs being few and almost prohibitive even in the depreciated money, while the stSeet porters, old men who act as m essengers and carriers will not cross the street for less than twenty crowns.
 Once the/ best dressed town in the world, Vienna is plain to the point of shabbiness. Most of the women wear unmistakable homemade gowns and the mems clothing shows the mark of wear, the cleaner the mender and often the tailors who turn the un- wearable inside out.
 Tt would cost me four months salary to buy a new suit of clothes now remarked a foreign office of- ficial, as he smiled at his five year old serge, 'and I must eat occasion ally
 The other day there was a great demonstrat ton of state pensioners be- fose the house of parliamen and some or the cases cited by the deputaton to the government were pitiful. These pensioners said they were starving
 Meantime the press openly charges that backdoor or illicit trade in food supplies and other comm odities,. sup posedly under government control is widely prevalent
 Vienna is suffering from lack of housing facilities. The population is estimated at 100000 to 400, 900 more than in normal times. The city gov ernment lately has taken a few half hearted steps in an effort to bring relief. A large number of so-called hotels of rather evil reputation are to be cleaned out of their present occupants and turned over as lodgings for the poor. The same order expels from their premises, often nearly pafatial, and confiscates for public housing purposes, the homes of the rich and demi-monde. Also it is con-
