Ceramics Of Cyprus.


The late Professor Max Muller was deeply in
tefested in the Swastika and his competence
in matters of Indian Scripture and Sanskrit lore
in general caused him to be much consulted
by other scientists. He. however, went no
further than the quotation of many references.

Stettin Germany-Every contin-

men who have been made insane by
suffering during many months In Rus

In three weeks the German govern

Nearly all the prisoners exhibit the

prisoner early in the war and has

FOOD PRICES AND BUDGETS.

FOOD PRICES AND BUDGETS.
In connection with declining wages
and declining food prices, the figures
made public the other day by a com.
missioner of labor statistics are par
ticularly interesting. These figures
show that declines in retail prices to
date have been comparatively unin-
portant, and have made very little
difference in the family budget of the
working man.
Using prices current in October,
1920. as a basis, the statistician points
out
If bread drops one cent a pound it
makes a difference to the average
family of 1925 a year; if milk drops
one-cent a quart, it means $3.50 year;
drop of one cent a pound in the price
of flour saves $4.54 a year; a drop of
one cent pound in sugar saves $3.50
d year. drop of one cent a dozen in
eggs saves So cents a year; a cent
pound off in bacon saves SIS cents a
year, etc. The biggest saving might
III
a cent pound, that means so cents a
bushel or 1882 year.
When all the saving to consumers
thus indicated is added up, it appears
that the whole amount on years
food bill would be reduction of only
$27.61. And in the face of the reduc-
lions in price which have already
taken place, he says that a few other
prices have risen enough to equalize
any decrease in the budget.
1t might be a most depressing out
look if the average family were not in
a position to be grateful for even such |
small gains as $27.61 a year Also, the |
tendency downward will undoubtedly |
continue until morethan one cent per
pound or loaf or quart is knocked off.
Looking at the statistics from the most |
gloomy angle possible, the consumer
is likely to vote in favor of even the
the dealer that it's hardly worth while
and he needn't bother about lowering
his prices.
