Germans Working
Less Hours and
Getting More Paw

Coblenz. Germany. Nov. 10.-tBy
Mail, w orkmcn in most parts OF
Germany are said now to be receiv-
ing better wages. everything consid-
cred. than prior to tie war, and
working shorter hours. This is par
ticularly true Of the occupied area,
according to American army officers
who in their line of duty have come
in contact with the German work
ing classes.
That the workman is able to live
better under present conditions is
due. in large measure, to the fact
that strict regulations of food prices
have been enforced by German au-
thorities and has prevented shop
keepers from boosting the cost of
the necessities Of life. despite depre-
citation in the value of the mark.
These regulations apply chiefly to
house rent, meat, potatoes and other
staples produced within the country.
Many luxuries have increased in
price. especially within the last few
weeks, when the mark took a tum-
Bile; but the currency fluctuation has
not materially affected food in the
markets patronized by the working
classes.
One hundred marks a day Is con-
sidered a fair wage for the average
working man, skilled workmen and
miners receiving considerably more,
some as high as 200 marks day,
while the common laborer makes
but so or 60 marks for eight hours
Professors in the universities and
school teachers maintain that they
have not Jared so well as the work
ing man. receiving on an average Of
less than so marks a day.
Since the war. the Germans do not
eat as much meat as formerly. po-
tatoes forming the principle article
of food. Dark bread in three-pound
loayes is sold for Z marks. this being
a mixture resembling rye bread as
made in America. 1t is considered
very wholesome and it is eaten by
many Americans, among them Ma

and kindred disorders. The trouble
has been that most people invariably
treat the symptoms and not the cause.
Most people nowadays. when they
have a cold, simply take Aspirin.
Plain Aspirin never did and never
will cure a cold. It relieves the
symptoms momentarily and allevtates
only. Others take nauseous doses OF
Quinine and violent purgatives, which
often upset the system to such an ex-
tent that the treatment is worse than
the disorder. Still others use cough
remedies and expectorants. which az
ford only temporary relief
sssfy new formula, Kurokol, not only
relieves the symptoms, but the cause
as well. 1t is a combination treat
ment, and acts as an antipyreuc'
which reduces the fever and relieves
the feeling of distress and discom-
fort; an expectorant, which loosens
the phlegm, relieves the congestion
and stops the cough; a laxative
which opens the bowels, and an anti
septic, which retards germ growth
and checks the spread OF the infec-
ton. Those who have taken Kuroko
find II difficult to describe the won
derful feeling OF relief and exhilara-
ton they experience. The volatile
parts of the solution penetrate deel
down into the air passages. The heae
is unstopped. sneezing, shifting ant
coughing usually cease at once, anc

toms almost invariably disappear
with the first few doses. Only one
bottle is usually sufficient to breal
