DESPITE WAR COST OF FOOD REMAINS LOW Germany Succesfully Combats Efforts of English to Cut Off Supplies With Blockade.

MEAT IS VERY SCARCE

Goevrnment May Take Steps to Prevent Extortion Practiced by Many . Speculators.

BY STEVEN BURNETT. BERLIN, July 31. Toe last bope ot England to starva Germany and her ally, tli dual monarchy, into submission naa ben shattered. For a time, during a lone and dangerous draught, thS situation looked serioua, but rains brought relief at the critical moment tad a bountiful Barrett la now as aured. There ta no longer any doubt that tha Teutonic allies will have food atuffs enough for at least eighteen aaontha, eren If the entrance ot Roumanla into the war should cut ot the grain Imports from that country. Official reports show that tha aew bar vest will not hare been touched before next February. The confiscation of all bread stuffa in the early stages of the war has worked wonders and stopped all waste. There are still enormous quantities ot flour, wheat and cereals ot all kinds ta tha bands of the government and this supply will not be exhausted before the end of the year.. With strict economy the surplus of last year's harvest can even be made to last until spring. Food Prices Drop. All foods are today aa cheap and in many instances cheaped than before the war, with the exception of coffee, rice and other articles which must be imported, as they can not be raised in German and Austria-Hungary. White Bread is again on every table and the Berliner has his scbrippen (rolls) for breakfast, as In time of peace. Many, however, prefer the coarse but nourishing kriegsbrot (war bread), which was loudly condemned when the government created it almost by force. The kriegsbrot has come to stay and will be eaten long after the present fearful conflict. The German government with its energy and splendid organization baa succeeded in overcoming the dangers of the English blockade completely, but still sees Itself confronted with a serious problem. The meat prices, which were astonishingly low during the first few months ot the war, have

WOMEN SHAVE UNKNOWINGLY When women are so unwise as to use so-called hair removers, they actually shave unknowingly because such preparations stimulate hair growth after each removal. The proper way to remove hair is to devitalise it. it Is impossible to ac complisb this result with pastes and rub-on preparations because they only remove hair from the surface of the skin. DeMlracle, the original liquid depilatory, devitalises hair by attacking it under the skin as well as on the skin. Imitations of DeMlracle are as worthless as pastes and rub-on preparations because they lack certain ingredients that DeMiracle alone contains which give it the power to rob hair of its vitality Its lite sustaining force. Buy a bottle of the genuine DeMlracle today and you will get the Original liquid hair remover. Others are worthless imitations refuBe them. Remember, you are not asked to buy DeMlracle on a mere promise of your money being refunded. DeMiracle is the only depilatory that has a binding guarantee in each package which entitles you to the refund of your money if it fall. DeMiracle is sold in three sizes. 50c, S1.00 and $2.00 bottles. The larger sites are the moBt economical for dermatologist and large users to buy. if your dealer will not supply you, buy a bottle at Clem Thistlethwaite's drug ttOres or order direct from us.

become prohibitive. Pork today coat two marks a pound and beef, even the commonest cuts, from J JO to 2.20 marks. Meat baa become a luxury that la beyond the reach of the laboring class, and it Is fast -disappearing also from the tables of the middle classes. Meat Product Short, The situation hag become so serious that the government will have to act, ill order " to force the meat price down to their natural level again. There is no scarcity of cattle and hogs. Investigations have proved that the live stock ot the farmers throughout the empire is more numerous at present than in July, 1914. The prlcea have simply ben driven upward by cattle owners and speculatorsThis extortion is fast becoming unbearable and will compel the government to take drastic steps. With the exception of the organs of the large agricultural Interests, tha newspapers demand the confiscation of all cattle and hogs, or the reduction of meat prices to a moderate maximum by law. The. extortion now practiced by the interests controlling the meat supply was tried during the spring an early summer with some sucess by potato specuators, but these gentlemen have received a very severe and well deserved lesson. ' They bought up enormous quantities of potatoes and forced the price of this indespensable article of food up about 500 per cent. Their golden harvest was of short duration, however. The estimate of the potato supply published by the ministry of agriculture, on which they had based their speculation, turned but to be far too low and when this became known the prices went down with a crash. Today potatoes are sold at four pfennigs (1 cent) a pound and the speculators are losing millions.
