costs sixty-five cents day in Paris;
forty-two cents in New York, and
ithirty-fiye cents in London, Under
the new government sales system,
the cost will be only thirty-nine cents
a day here. If the Paris experiment
is successful, food will be sent to
other towns where 1t will be retailed
either by. the municipalities or APP
proved merchants, subject to state
control.
The ministry of food supplies also
Is arranging system Of workmen's
restaurants in Paris. capable of serv-
ing four hundred thousand meals

percent by obtaining the principles

until we moved In. We were barely
settled when the Germans raided us
That was March s, when Captain
McHenry was killed. We drove the
Germans back, and did not suffer
heavy casualties. Our first really
heavy casualties came May Il, when
the boche sent over the initial dose
Of projectile gas. Then Captain
Fleur and Lieutenant Clarence Green
were killed, and l didn't think Cap
