NEW YORK POOR FACE STARVATION WITH COST BOOM East Side Throngs Feel Hunger Pangs Trying to Exist on One Meal of Cheapest Foods. . . BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, Aug 14 The department of justice today at noon announced that the first ac- , tion had been taken to summon , before a federal grand jury per. sons alleged to have Increased retail prices of food, by reason of war conditions in Europe. District Attorney Clarence Wilson, for the District of Columbia, Issued summons under the general order sent out yesterday by Attorney General McReynolds. NEW YORK, Aug. 14 A large por'tion of New York's east side today la on the verge of starvation. The big Increase in food prices in the past ten days has placed even the commonest foods out of the reach of the poor population there and unless some rej lief comes to them soon many will die of starvation.

Joseph Ilartigen, commissioner of weights and measures, who made an investigation of conditions in the big tenement district said conditions there

were pitiful. Not only the men, hut even the women and children, because of the high prices for food are trying to get along with one meal a day and even those meals consist of food that

lis of the cheapest kind. The price of bread remains the same, but the loaves are smaller, some of these being so small are but little more than half the size of the loaves of last week. New York dealers have boosted the price of milk and ice and the babies are suffering. Indignation against the advance in prices of foods on account of the war , abroad was reflected when the war on (unscrupulous dealers opened in earn-

As a result dealers began a reduction of prices. .The drop was only 'apparent in the cost of meats. The 4 price of lamb was reduced three cents a pound, sheep two cents and beef one-half to one cent a pound. A committee of 137 business and i professional men, appointed by Mayor , Mitchel, met to take up the situation.

There 1b rejoicing in France over the success of a young Russian engineer, Igor Sikorslty, who has con

structed, and successfully tried in'

actual flight, a giant biplane. The French rejoice because they say that now the German "Zeppelins," or huge . dirigible war balloons, will be put out of commission by this new form of aeroplane, which Is swifter than they are, equally well balanced and capable of carrying weights comparable, with those that have hitherto been confined to the balloon type of airship. The Sikorsky machine is a biplane, whose upper supporting surface is

larger than the lower. The span of its wings is nearly ninety feet, and the total supporting surface Is about 1400 square feet Ite weight is 6,600 pounds, and it can carry, in addition to two pilots and a mechanician, ten persons, with provisions and fuel for twenty hours, with an extra allowance of 880 pounds for emergencies. It has four motors of the automobile type, of 100-horse-power each, and tour independent screws. During an experimental flight two of the motors; were arrested, but the machine continued to fly without difficulty. The large cabin for passengers is situated behind the glass-enclosed pi

EllTER GROCERY SHOP Thieves Attempt Robbery at Centemlle.: CENTERVTLLE, Ind., Aug. 14. An attempt was made to burglarize the Moulton and Bertsch grocery last night. The entrance was made through the rear door of the storage room, by cutting a hole through the door large enougn to insert the hand and unlock the' door. Flour and other stuff was stored In this room but nothing was missed. This Is the second attempt to rob a grocery this summer. Mrs. Emma Bramer's grocery was entered through the rear window about two months ago. No clew to either robbery.

This custom was started five years ago and has become one of the most successful social features of the community. Arrangements have already been made to have the picnic in Young's grove this year. For this event the neighborhood has a regular organization of which William H. Hartman is the present president. All the families living In this district are expected to attend the picnic this year.

upon tne front balcony. It is evident that it is only necessary to replace the "passengers" with armed men In order to turn this airship Into a terrible machine of war, and this, it is said, was the primary intention of the inventor, as it is the first thought of those who are aiding him in his enterprise. Furnished with bombs and quick-firing guns the "Sikorsky" would be able to hold a city at its mercy, or to render a fort untenable, or to put an army corps to flight. ,

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causiag imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should neer receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be ? party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics.
