FOOD and RENT COME HIGH

Proportion Of It You Spend for
Food and Shelter, Say In
Vestlgators.

Washington.-Thel lower your salary,
the greater percentage of it you spend
for food and shelter, according to the
latest government cost Of living inves-
hgation.
Tables compiled by labor depart
ment experts after study Of hundreds
OF family budgets show the actual cash
outlay for food and rent is greater In
families with the higher incomes, but
In the average family the expenditures
for these necessities does not increase
as fast as the income.
In Baltimore, for instance, 10 fam
lies with incomes under 5000 averaged
expenditures Of S3S295 for food and
S120.44 for rent The average was 46.5
per cent Of the total income for food
and 14.6 for rent. The families whose
incomes were $500 or more, however,
average 1875 per cent less for food in
comparison with total income and lis
less for rent.

expenditures Of 301 families of seven

Yanks Salvage
Immense Booty

every gun they found, broken or In
serviceable condition, as well as all
war material, and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
In army trucks. The colored fighters
received instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch II, but to put
up little stick beside it with note
so that the munition salvagers could
find it later.
The doughboys soon made the dis
cove-y that the Germans in their
flight abandoned hundreds Of machine
guns and even large pieces Of artillery
which the Yankees, in their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded in Box Cars.
One Of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task Of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
in the Argonne forest. No information
was secured as TO the number the
enemy was able to save in his flight
toward the Rhine, but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector OF the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one town located in the rear OF
the battlefield there Is a pile of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger
mans, that would more than fill the
hold Of q large ocean freighter. II
was estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that vii
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Salvage Work Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 per cent
more war booty in the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due, ii is said, TO the rapidity OF
the American advance and TO the
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender TO
their conQuerors.
The work Of cleaning up the Ar
COME battlefield, however, has been an
expensive one, although vast uuanti-
ties Of copper, brass and steel have
been salyaged. 1t has cost more than
100000 to complete the task, but
the work has been a success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.

BITRO-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR thin
NERVOUS PEOPLE.

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals, ii is q
Sellknown fact that the lack of phos-
phorous in the human system 10 very
largely responsible for this condition.
II seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorus may
now be met by the use of Bitro-
Phosphate. which can be obtained
from Peoples Drug Stores or any
good druggist in convenient tablet
6rm-
IN many instances the assimilation
Of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change
nerve tension disappears. vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack OF
energy and the whole body loses its
ngly holiows and abrupt angles, be-
:vming enyeloped in glow OF per-
s~ct health and beauty and the will
and strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION:-While Bitro- Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief Of nerv-
ousness. general debility, etc, those
taking IL who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
fpt-Droducing foods

Grouchiness Shortens Years,
Declares Head Of N. Y.
Health Bureau.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The cheer
ing information that the crouch does
not live as long as the happy man has
been disseminated by Health Commits
sioner Copeland in announcing that
New York will observe a "Live-long
Week" beginning January 2.
The mental attitude has much to
do with the physical condition" said
DR.. Copeland. I'VE should advocate
cheerfulness ard the happy manner.
The grouchy man will not live as long
as the happy one. Poise and an even
temper, the elimination of worry by
the substitution of cheerful thoughts
are established aids to health and
longevity"
The commissioner said the aid OF
schools, churches, civic organizations
and Boy Scouts would be enlisted for
"Live-Long Week." when citizens will
be urged to observe the established
rules of hygiene.
