THE PAIrRY DOLLAR

as much five years from now when
production catches up with demand.
''Profiteering, no doubt, has some
thing to do with the present depre-
ciated value of the dollar but it is
not the big factor.
In 1865. according to a Chicago
account book dated February 81,
1865, Chicago consumers were pay
ing 2s cents a pound for sugar, 81
q gallon for kerosene oil, 50 a pound
for tea, and lie pound for rice.
Even in the face of present high
prices dollar now is worth about
twice as much as it was then.
'Tt was worse after the Revolu-
tionary war. Martha Washington
paid SO a pound for sugar, one to
two dollars a pound for meat, and
$25 a bushel for wheat.
The moral of all this is that
prices are going down within the
next five years which means that a
dollar saved today will be worth at
least twice as much five years from
now. Therefore cut out luxuries and
some necessities. Invest every dol

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

Is the answer about to be given to
that ages-old enigma-Death?
Certain 1t is that esta ablished ideas
regarding it are giving way; that a
constantly increasing number of
thinking people are accepting views
which few years ago would have
been considered visionary or alb
surd; that the entire world is slow
ly taking on a new attitude toward
this greatest of human problems.
AS always the case when any great
discovery is about to break, hints
of the solution come from many di-
along totally different lines seem to
lend themselves to the elucidation
of the main issue. The subject is
''in the air." as the saying goes.
Out of the welter and chaos which
have marked this second decade of
our century, one thought seems to
be emerging ever more clear and
distinct-that the real world is the
spiritual world, and the material
world as we know it mere crea-
ton OF our deluded senses.
Energy is the only real and sub
stantial thing. What we call mat
ter is only a momentary manifesto

by following hard upon the heels of
those modern PHILOSOPHERS which
have declared that "All substance is
spirit"
If this be true then everything
which really exists is spiritual in
essence. and 1t would be idle to tell
any man or woman that he or she
does not exist. We may doubt or
question every other fact in the uni
verse, but of that one thing II lm,"
each of us is individually sure. Des-

If Heat Causes Wrinkles

If the heat tends to loosen and
wrinkle your skin, there's arr effec-
tive and harmless remedy you can
readily make at home. Just let an
ounce of pure powdered saxoIite
dissolve in a half-pint of witch
hazel and battle your face IN the
liquid. This at once tightens the
skin and smooths out the lines,
making the cuticle and underlying
tissues much tirmer. The ingredi-
er'ts, of course, can be obtained
from any druggist.
