BOOZE TOLL IN
THE u. S. 2,467

Poison hootch and alcohol are
blamed for 2,467 deaths so far this
year in the United States according
to the government census bureau.
While admittedly the figure does
not include hundreds of other deaths
directly or indirectly attributable to
bad booze but which were otherwise
officially reported, it shows more than
a 80 per cent increase over 1922,
when the census bureau had 1,611
deaths listed as from alcoholism.
Thus the year closes with an al
coholic death toll Of 26 persons for
every 100000 people in the country
is compared with 1.8 per 100000 last
year.
Twenty deaths from liquor were
recorded there. In other states they
range from an estimated 1000 in
Pennsylvania to an estimated 400 in
New York, 400 in Massachusetts and
200 in Illinois.

A Feu Prices
OF Years Past

In looking over old order books,
Mrs. H. Koppke OF the Koppke gro
Gerry store has found some compare
tive prices which are Of interest. On
Dec. 27, 1922, the price of sugar was
8 cents, one cent less than the pres
ent price; eggs were 48 cents as
compared with the present price Of 35
cents; butter was 20 cents cheaper
a year ago; and potatoes cost but 70
cents a year ago while the market
price today is around dollar
In 1915, butter was AZ cents per
pound; eggs were the same price
they are today; sugar sold for but 8
cents; potatoes were very high, sell
ing for $3.50 per bushel; and Gran
berries were selling for 10 cents a
pound.
The 1918 wartime prices bring back
unpleasant memories of the time
when many Baraboo homes were
serving butter substitutes and raj
tioning sugar. A few prices are:
sugar, II cents; eggs 81 cents; butter
IA cents; and potatoes $1.20.
In 1919, eggs were selling for g.
cents, more than cents apiece, and
butter was the same price it is to-
day.

ABANDON HOPE
OF FINDING The
LOST DIRICIBLE

The French super-dirigible Dix
nude has definitely been given up as
lost by the French ministry of ma
rine.
The finding by fishermen six miles
Off the coast of southern Sicily of the
body of the commander of the Dix
nude, Lieut.. Du Plesss de Grenadan,
antangled in the meshes of one Of
their nets, led the ministry formally
10 declare that the Dfxmude had met
with disaster.
Complete mystery surrounds the
tragedy. The whereabouts of the
giant aircraft and the other forty
mine members of her crew is now
known French naval officers are
hurrying to southern Sicily to exam
me the body of Lieut. Grenadan, and
some hope is expressed that on it
will be found documents which will
serve to clear up the cause of the
disaster.
Battseships Join Search
From the village of Sciacco off
which the body of Lieut. Grenadan
WAS found by fishermen the 100 miles
across the Mediterranean, sea Ito
'Tunis in northern Africa will be
searched by French warships for
4races of the Dixmude, while the
patrols which already are combing
the north African wilds and the re-
gions far to the south, including the
Sahara desert, will continue their
work.
The Dixmude was last heard from
I'd week ago when she sent out radio
message from point southwest Of
7Touggourt, Algeria, saying she was
bound back toward her airdome at
Cvers-P ierrefeu, near Marseilles,
Rhen she had started Dec. Is on
an eighteen hour cruise to northern
Africa and return. The French naval
authorities by wireless warned the
zairship that gale was blowing across
the Mediterranean and it would be
eunsafe to attempt the trip home.
sSince then all trace of the craft has
HDeen lost.
