 The latest compilation is for the year 1920. and this report shows that the marriage rate has increased, the birth rate has increased. the death rate has decreased, ,and altogether England is in a f1ourishing and pop ulous condition.
 The shining records which are causing great enthusiasm in England set forth these facts for 1920:
 The marriage rate was the highest ever reported-26.2 per cent per 1000 of all ages.
 \. The birth rate was 25.5 per 1000, the highest since 1909.
 The number of births was 579,721, the largest number ever recorded.
 The death rate was the lowest ever recorded-12-4 per 1000.
 These facts having been presented, now England is swelling its chest with prloe. but wrinkling its brows and
 Beer Held Responsible.
 Beer and postwar marriage are held responsible for these statistics by many sociologists
 Postwar marriages were numerous but there are doubts whether they were always happy or wise mar r1agcs, the sociologists say.

The best lamb costs thirty cents a pound, while a pound of the best Eng fish beef now costs fifty cents. But ter reaches the highest mark it has made since September, 1921, and fifty cents the pound is the lowest price at which it can be had.
 Bread and fruit are higher and tho latter rarer than usual. Bananas are four cents apiece, tomatoes are twen- ty-sfx cents a pound, eggs thfrty-six cents a dozen. milk twenty-four cents a quart, apples twenty cents a pound, while the baker charges twenty cents for a quartern loaf.
 All being a 10 per cent. increase. and yet ironically enough the wages have all been cut and the reason given is a drop in the cost of living.

PRICE WAR
 STARTED BY
 ENGLISH WOMEN

London Aug. 1.-The latest war to threaten the British Isles is that between the housewife and the allied forces of the grocer and the butcher.
 Everywhere in England the ten dency has been during the last few months to cut the wages. but the cut in the price of the neceSsarfes of life has not been commensurate with the drop in the salary pockets.
 Hubby struck when they attacked his wages and lost. Wifey now strikes when the grocer charges the extra cents on the flour and sugar and the butcher for his increased rates on the viands. and again hubby loses; he has got to go without.
 Many comm odities are dearere con siderab1y than they were in the spring. In all the cost of living has gone up ten points. The following tablt shows the percentage above nor nal in the cost of living since 1921:

Honestly, we didn't know there
were so many quick-thinking folk
in Seattle. When we first an
nounced our Diamond Briquet
TWO FOR ONE" offer several
weeks ago, we weren't prepared
for the scores and scores Of trial
orders that poured in. Also an ex-
ceedingly large percentage Of those
who sampled, ALREADY have re-
ordered by the load.
The offer is still open. To each
home sending us their address we
will deliver two 100-lb. sacks Of
Diamond Briquets for one dollar.
Merely phone us your address and
when the driver delivers your two
sacks pay him the dollar. We
lose money by selling Diamond
Briquets at the rate Of $1,000 q
ton delivered-so please do not ask
for more than the two sacks. II
you already use Diamond Bnquefs
just envy those who are getting
their first thrill Of satisfaction
and leave the trial offer Tor thu
uninitiated.
We want every home b becumu
acquainted with the economy, CON
venience and satisfaction Diamond
Briquets yield. This TWO-FOR-
ONE offer makes il possible for
you TO try them without buying
whole load. Exchange a dollar
for two sacks and give Diamond
Briquets a whirl in your own
range, open fireplace basket,
heater and furnace. Note the even,
steady, lasting heat you get Note
how uniform in size and how easy
to handle they are. Note how
odorless, dustless and greaseless
they are. DON'T POKE EN-
when you burn them-let them
lie quietly in your fire and merely
regulate the heat by the drafts.
