RESTAURANTS DON

KNOW WAR IS OVER

Think Their Customers are Still Employed in Munition Plants The ' farmer ar taking: ISc nd 17c doz?n for essrs and aa low as 75 cents n hushM for potatoes. The higrhest price asked for eggs at a irrocery in Hammond today was 30c wlx'i oid potatoes at 55 cents a peck and nw potatoes JI.IS rer bushel. FIT the restaurants still sell epps hi'i'f-d, rfac'd, Forambled. any style at

a'.I. at the war tims prices. By some sort of an unwritten agreement th'? Greek restaurants ask "0 cents for two bailed ecgrs with a dah of potatoes, brend and butter and 40 cents for three Tho restaurants buys eggs at less than the retail rrice. Customers of the Hammond restaurants have been lonfr-siiiYeringr and enduring. They have continued to pny 55c and 60c for ham and epps in the face of tho greatest wag reductions. Haw ham is retailed at SO cents a pound but few- of the, restaurants even nerve raw ham with egrgs. They serve a smoked and thin-sliced ham, about four cents worth to an order. KverythinK counted, including the salt and Pepper, the actuaj t-ost of an order of ham and epprs in the averace restauraunt Is about 11 cents. Adding: a

hundred per cent for overhead which Is all out of proportion the profit on an ordr of ham and eggs at 55 cents will amount to nt least ICirt per cent, today. The Koffee Kup and Trash's made some reductions recently but for the lare part the retaurants have maintained war-peak, food shortage prices. Breakfast cost 50 enls, lunch 75 cents nYid dinner 51.00 to the man of avcrafte appetite. For a bowl of bread or crackers with cream the chnrpo is -o cents at most of the places while corn flakes or other cereals with cream are 20 o-n!. Breakfast Three wheat pan cakes, four little shriveled sausacres nnd coffee to cents. Keal value about 23 cents.

The- Magic Eye Glasses

Onc tnere wa a , maker- of ey plassea who blleftd tnat.lt wouia i.o poMlble tmaka pair-ot maglo eye-glasse through which on-J ou.d see the fairies. All of th people in titia- town- where th eyeeiass maker lied made-fun of nim, hut ha did v.ot glT up hit searcn. for te secret of the male- lenses.. Day after day he would bend verbis rencn, hoping that h might diBCOTer this eecrat, ajd be abla to se the fairies, which, cannot t 6een with mortal eyea. One day, aa. he- aatt at work, he bard a small tcHce. speaking,, and looking down saw a little boy standing beside- bis; bench. What are- you doing thare?" asked the- boy.. "I'm trying to fmd out now to make v pair of. magic etye-igjasaea. through which I caa. aee tne fairies," replied the eye-glass maker. "Are you an r you-would know a fniry if you saw one?1" asked tne hoy, mischievously. 'Bren If you lo-okad through triagtc spettacrea?'"Of course." replied the eye-glass tnaker. Anyone would know a fairy.' Well. I- te!l yon what yon mast In to convert an ordinary pair ot glasses into a magic pair. You must wait until-taere-Is a rainbow

In the sky and", then yon must go to the pool In' the heart ot the xvoods. At the; moment when-, tp entire rainbow 1 reflected In tnewjter. dip your; glasses In the water and recite a spell which I shall Bive you. and you will be able to se the fairies. But remember tatswarning: Look at the fairies ociyth rough the spectacles, for If you tale them oft, yoa will bs sorry."And the. hoy whispered the spell to the eye-glass maker a little rhyme which seemingly made no enpe at all. ' But how dO yvn-know all this?"fs'ed the eye-glass maker, turning - the boy. when he had hea'd the r: :pc which was to work the spcr:. l: tiic boy had vanished. On the first da? that-there was a. rainbow, the maker of - eye-glasses-

hurried to the pool In the cen'er of the forest, taking a pair ot ordipary epectacles with him.. At the moment when the whole rainbow was reflected In the water, ne dipped tne glasses In the pool ani r-Acited the rhyme woich the little boy had whispered to him. Then he wiped the glasses dry and po'lshed them carefully. Wtien he had put them. on his nose and adJusted them carefully, he looked about, him, and sure enough! he eaw hundreda of little fairiessome under the leaves ot- busbee and trees, some dancing around mushrooms, some sailing fairy boats on the little pond and some perchlng-on the backs of frogs ttiat croacked cn the edge of the water. Theeye-glase maker rras delighted, pd decided that he would come that very night to watch the fairies for, of course, there were many more to be, seen at night than In the daytime. One night he sat eagerly watch'ng the fairies as they danced under a rosebush. So Interested was he in the game that he leaned very close to the ground to see th&m. He parted the branches ot the rvish to peer even closer, and a brancri that slipped from his finge's brushed the magic- eye-glassed from off his nose! At the very moment that the glasses fell 'from his nose, the fairies all became invisible to him; but he-feit bundretts of tiny-fragenfc plucking at nis hair and beard and; scratching and tea', leg his. flesh. Then be knew that he had 1 poked at them without the magi e eye-glasses, and so had 16st the power. ever to s them aga'n. He hurried home as fast as h!s leg's would carry him. put balm on bis scratches and bruises and went to bed. In the morning he went back to the spot, hoping to find the glasses under the rose busr;. There indeed he found them: but the lenses were crushed to powder and the metal twisted and bent TTien the eye-glass maker knew that the fairies hflj revenged themselves for haring been se?n by mortal eyes.
