ulated consumption than otherwise.
 Coffee, as everybody knows, has more than doubled in the import price in the single year 1918, ad- vancing from less than He per pound in November 1918 to 24c per pound in September 1919, yet the quantity of coffee brought into the United States in the year just ended is great CT than in any earlier year in the history of the trade, and the import value in 1919 exceeds $250, ,000 as against $99, 100000, in 1918.
 The price of cocoa Jumped from 1Oc per pound in November 1918 to 2oc per pound in August 1919, yet the quantity imported in 1919 exceeds that of the preceding year, and the sums paid in 1919 are practically 50 per cent. greater than in 1918.
 Sugar, as everybody knows, has reached a price hitherto unheard of, at least in the memory of the pres ent generation, and hard to get at that, yet all the sugar authorities now agree with the statement that the quantity consumed in the United States in 1919 is "the biggest ever, while official figures of the Govern ment show that the sums paid for en- tering the ports of the United States
  own lands) is approximately $540,- 000,000 against approximately $350,- oO0,00O in 1918. and $157, 100000 in the year preceding the war.
 In manufacturing materials the ad- vance in prices has been as great as that of foodstuffs,. but this has not deterred the purchase from abroad. Raw silk, for example, shows an ad- vance in import price from $5.se per pound in December 1918 to an aver age of $9.1O per pound in November 1919, and yet the quantity imported in 1919 is one-third more than in the preceding year, and the value of the importation about 100000 in 1919 against S194,0O0,OOe in 1918. Calf skins, for which the leather 1 consuming population seemed to l have suddenly developed special taste have advanced in price from 1Sc per pound in November 1918 to 67c per l pound in November 1919, and not withstanding this quadupling in price 1 the quantity imported has jumped from less than S,0OO,000 pounds in i 1918 to 65,00O,000 pounds in 1919 and the value of the imports from S3.OOO,OOO in 1918 to approximately 1 $35, 100000 in 1919.
 l Goatskins more than doubled in 1 import price, advancing from an average of 42c. per pound in Decem- Der 1918 to 93c per pound in Novem- l Der 1919, yet the quantity imported jumped from 62,00o,o00 pounds in

Washington, D. C., Feb. 12. - To date the United States has sold through the Shipping Board one hun dred and sixty-three vessels of the large fleet and acquired during the ar. The Government is now direct 3 ing the operation through various f shipping firms of the remainder of it's .se eaormous war merchant marine of approximately 1875 vessels, princi- paIly steel cargo vessels, and there remain several hundred vessels now under contract or construction yet to be delivered to the United States shipping Board. Pending definite ac- ton from Congress on the diSSosal Of - this enormous fleet, Americas first merchant marine in a century, the Board is disposing of those vessels available for sale and for which a reasonable price is offeredJ The re- mainder of the fleet is being let to private operators on a percentage basis of the freight return.
 From the 163 vessels sold to date the Government will receive a re turn of $82,424,408. many of them being old vessels acquired during the var, and lake steamers remodeied for coastwise and ocean service in the emergency. Of the total sales to date, beginning sometime last summer, Cnly 36 of the vessels were the new s:c eel cargo type of ship constructed during the war by the Emergency Fleet Corporation. These 36 vessels alone brought $5O,SO1,769 of the total sales returns. There are more than a thousand of these vessels yet to be disposed of or operated by the Shipping Board.
 The remainder of the fleet sold to Gat3 consists of "oId tonnage ac- Cuired by seizure and purchase, wrecked vessels, etc., sold "as is' or account of age and condition" of which there were Al, principally re- constructed vessels taken off the Lakes during the war, and which brought a return of $16,002,5S6 Eighteen wooden vessels were sold for a sum total of $S,6S1, 352; seven teen tugs bringing $1,817, ,000 and fl harges bringing $1,92S,7OO. Sales to Gate have also included ten of the wooden vessels built during the war which brought a total return of S3-

HIGH PRICES OF FOREIGN GOODS
 DOES NOT WORRY UNITED STATES
INCREASE IN PRICE GENERALLY FOLLOWED BY
 LARGER DEMAND FROM THIS COUNTRY

High prices of the products of foreign countries have apparently no terrors for the people of the United States. Does coffee double in price? The. people of the United States calmly increase the quantity import led and trebIed the sums paid for 1t. Does sugar advance 50 to 100 per cent. in price? They increase the quantity imported and consume a larger total than ever before, the quantities brought into the country advancing 7,o0o.o0o,ooo pounds in 1918 10000, 100000 pounds in 1913, for from s375, 100000 to s530,O00,-
 900. Do hides and skins show an in
 crease of 50 to 75 per cent? The quantity imported doubles and the sums paid for the grand total trebles. Do diamonds and other precious
 stones increase in price per carat? The quantity still further increases and the total imports jump from 50,O00,000 in 1918 to S100, 100000 in 1919.
 These are some of the facts re- vealed by an analysis by The Nation al City Bank of New York of the
 latest import fgures-fgures which
 show an increase in stated values of 1915 to $3,904, 100000 in 1919, an in crease of about 12O per cent. in a short four year period.
 Prices abroad, says the Banks i statement, of many articles have l doubled since the close of the war, i but this fact has not deterred the 1 people of the United States in their l importation of these higher price ar ! tfcles, but apparently has rather stin-

AFRICANS HAVE QUEER CURE FOR
 FLU" EPIDEMIC

The epidemic of influenza extended even to Africa, but there the prescrip-
 ton for it differed considerably from that used in the United States, T. B. Brinton, missionary at Kapanga Congo Beige, declares.
 Witch doctors attempted to cure the people of their malady by scattering an ancient remedy through the will lages. This remedy, which is carried in big jar kept carefully closed, con- sists of the manure of certain animals, with the claws of other animals, and tthe bark of certain trees, all mixed together with water. The people were told to wash their bodies in this water to make them immune from any at tack of the disease.
 Tn the middle of the night the witch doctor fell i'll of influenza in a i certain village MT. Brinton relates. 1 He was not able to get up in the morning. The teacher of God then called the people together, and began ! to preach to then.- He asked who
 was the stronger, this witch doctor or i God.
 1 Cod said the people, The witch ] doctor is sick Since then they will
 have nothing to do with the witch
 doctor.''

tTwelve years ago my stomach went
back on me and since then l don t
believe any man ever suffered with a

have. My appetite was fairly good but
everything disagreed with me. | would
bloat all up with gas and my heart
palpitated so bad at times weak,

cramps in my stomach and such aw-
full pains right under my ribs that it
was all / could do to stand it. l fell
off in weight and was so weak l was
hardly able to hold out at work till
night came. Nothing l tried gave me
any relief and for five weeks 1 even
lived entirely on boiled milk, but in
the end was worse off than when I
started.
But now, thanks to Tanlac, I am
a well man and feeling better than
at any time since my troubles began
am not afraid to eat anything, for
[ can digest it without q sign of
trouble. / am back to my normal
weight again and feel so strong I never

CHILDREN'S HOME IS FILLING NEED LONG
 FELT IN COMMUNITY


 The home for children. recently opened by Mr. and Mrs. c. c. Per soneus at 42l Seward Street, is said to fill long-felt want in this city, by those who have made themselves familiar with the institution. Pri- marily it is intended to furnish a place where children, whose parents are forced to be absent for business or other reasons, may be left and be assured of proper attention and care.
 There isk no set charge made for this service. Those who are able to do so, are expected to pay, but in other cases there is no charge of any kind Milk is provided for the smaller tots.
 In order that the home may be continued without being drag fi- nancially on it's founders, collection boxes are to be placed in local busi- ness houses where those so inclined may donate to the cause. The money obtained will be deposited with Har- old H. Post, at the First National Bank. and used for the sole pur- pose of keeping the "kiddies' milk bottles full to overflowing.
