Bring Smiles

New Post Toasties were perfected to overcome the defects of oldstyle corn flakes. And the hearty welcome they have received is ample proof that their superiority is recognized.

New Post Toasties have a selfdeveloped, inner-flavor—the rich flavor of choice Indian corn. Try a handful dry—they're mighty good that way and the test will prove that' unlike common flakes, they do not depend on cream and sugar for their palatability.

New Post Toasties do not 'chaff* in the package, and they don't mush down in cream like common "corn flakes." The New Post Toasties are identified by tiny bubbles on each flake—produced by the quick, intense heat of the new process of manufacture, which also develops their wonderful new flavor.

Have your grocer send a package for tomorrow's breakfast.

Figures Show Tliat Neutrals of Europe As Well As Belligerents, Suffer From Soaring Prices.

WASHINGTON, July 13.—War's increase of food prices in Europe as shown today by the bureau of labor statistics, has touched neutrals almost as heavily as it has the belligerents.

The bureau's statistics give the biggest food 'price advances in Austria where meats are more than 500 per cent higher than before the outbreak of hostilities. Beef that in February, 1914, sold for 6.3 cents a pound, now brings 38.7 cents. Meat prices in Berlin show increases ranging from 45 to 160 per cent.

The British public is paying on an average 65 per cent more for its food than it did two years ago. The greatest Increase, 152 -per cent, has been in sugar the lowest, 17 per cent in oleomargarine. In France prices are 23 per cent above the pre-war average in Italy around 30 per cent.

Price increases In the neutral countries are shown to be highest in Norway where 29 necessities are sold at an average of 63 per cent more than in 1914. Copenhagen workmen pay 34 per cent more for table articles than two years ago in Sweden prices are 21 per cent higher in Switzerland the range Is from 3 per cent to 175.

A statement issued yesterday" by the bureau said the war had little effect on food prices in this country.

sul, here, and afterward will get his first view of the Interior of the submarine. This evening the mayor will entertain at dinner at his home Count Von Bernstorff, Mr. Ludertiz, Captain Paul Koenig, of the Deutschland, and other distinguished guests.

The crew of the Deutschland decided to turn over to the Red Cross fund the $10,000 gift for valor from a New Yorker.

The last case Of dyestuffs composing the Deutschland's cargo was lifted out about 9 a. m. The stevedores at once set about making the hold ready for the return cargo of nickel and crude rubber, which has been stored in the warehouse on the pier for several weeks. The work of putting the cargo aboard was to begin before nightfall.

Relative to reports of the forming of a company in the United States to construct merchant submarines Henry G. Hilken, of the Eastern Forwarding company, the local agency for the Deutschland, admitted the project is under serious consideration. "The line, if the plan succeeds," Mr. Hilken said, "Will consist of American built ships, manned by American seamen and flying the American flag. It will ply between Baltimore and Bremen."

The promoters of the enterprise Mr. Hilken said, consisted for the present of himself, his son, Paul H. L. Hilken, and Simon Lake, submarine inventor. The vessels, if the line materializes, will have a tonnage of 6,000 and will be five times as large as the Deutschland. They will be used entirely for commercial purposes.

recaptured Mamakhatum, 50 miles west of Erzerum, so that tho Turks have fallen back some, 25 miles from the furthest point reached in their counter offensive.

Meanwhile the armies directly south of the Pinsk marshes are fighting a pitched battle with the Austro-German forces of Gen. Von Linsingen along the line of the Stokhod river.'* It probably will be some days before the decision is reached, as the Teutons have brought up very strong reinforcements in the hope of retaining possession of Kovel, loss of which would necessitate a regrquping over a long stretch of the front.

North of the Pinsk marshes the fighting at present is largely with artillery. The Galicia and the Russian armies are reforming for continuation of the offensive.

In the. west the renewed efforts of the German crown prince at Verdun temporarily are taking precedence In the publlo mind over the battle of the Somme. The attack just delivered by tthe Germans before Verdun is the seventh onslaught with dense masses of troops since the operations began some five months ago. The Germans have made a slight gain but apparently this has not lessened th confidence of the French in their ability to hold fast. They still have three solid lines of defense which must be penetrated before the German objective can be gained.

The British are still engaged in clearing the Germans from fortified positions which must be taken before the general offensive can be renewed.
