The simplest way to insure this is to open the

That will keep intact the mildness and freshness
that is making the whole country say: ''Now I'd

Berlin GU. P.) - Scenes rem iniscent of the days when goods could be bought in Germany for a meer song are here again, owing to the economic distress among the or- dinarily prosperous classes.
 Wretched as the plight of the un- employed working classes is. distress is not confined to them. The daily toll of bankruptcies and failures among business men is reaching the homes of the middle classes.
 When debts, or rent, cannot be paid creditors can levy on the deb- tors personal property. The army of the debtors is vast in Germany, while the creditors are in their turn embarrassed and cannot wait. Auc- ton rooms are in consequence crowd ed with undisposed of property, while in the sales it is almost im- possible to get people to make ser- ious bids.
 In the West End of Berlin the number of forced sales of furniture and personal effects has increased by more than 50 per cent since last year.
 A disease known as Canine Ty- phoid," or stuttgart Disease. which is widespread in Berlin, is killing hundreds of dogs. The. dis ease has nothing to do with typhoid fever and is not communicable to

 In a sense, the image of the god- dess is an idol, for it is supposed to have magic power. Other idols of the Hopi Indians include images of the Little Warriors. Animal pets are made to stand near the Little Warriors.
 In 1888 Navajho Indians found two wooden images in a cave near Awatobi, and took them to the store of Thomas Keam in Keam's Canyon. MT Keam bought them, but before long he received visit from a group of Hopi warriors.
 MT Keam returned them, and the Indians returned to their village, dropping meal along the way.
 Cornmeal Is often sprinkled on sacred images by Southwest Indians. This may be an effort to provide the gods with food.
 Many Hopi Indians keep idols in their homes. A rude image of a mountain lion is popular.
