LN OUR CHURCHES I I ; Evangelical Church Why is it that ssome people, whose names are on the chtlrch roll, so seldom come inside tne chuich? Something is radically wrong with such folks who could | come, but will not. Perhaps ; they have forgotten that 'they ever joined the church? They may be concerned about less important things, or either “dead in trespasses and sins.” Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

(X)AL STRIKE ENDED

The greatest industrial struggle. the British coal strike, came to an end Friday. The emergency regulations under which the country was governed during most of the coal strike, were revoked. Earlier last night the government’s official wireless broadcast the news to the people. A. J. Cook, miners’ federation secretary, admitted his departure for Russia, that the strike was “virtually ended,” an admission of defeat. With the end of the trouble, government experts are endeavoring to ascertain the approximate cost and loss due to the struggle. This has been fixed at two thousand millions dollars. More than 1,000.000 mine workers were idle for the first four months of the stoppage, and nearly 800,000 for the whole period and a still larger number are on short time. The workers loss is estimated at 300 millions. It will be manv years before this damage can be repaired—if ever, because the purchasing power of the people has been reduced to a point of merest sustenance. Judging from. American standards and methods one cannot refrain from picturing what the result might have been if even half of this grea‘ loss had been paid to the million miners in wages—in consuming power. o NO FOOD IN SACCHARIN The use of saccharin in the manufacture of food products is not tolerated by the United States Department of Agriculture, which enforces the Federal food and drugs law. for the reason that such ingredient is a coail ‘ar product, injurious to health, and has no food value whatever. o A Year’s Subscription To The SYRACUSE JOURNAL Makes a Welcome CHRISTMAS GIFT

REAL COST OF FOOD According to figures compiled by the War Department, the cost of living has advanced to such a point that 8,000 enlisted men must be dismissed. The Congressional appropriation wa s based on 33 cents per day for food for 118,750 soldiers, but the actual cost, is 36 cents. As a result enlistments have been dis-; continued and the force must be reduced. \ • The figures are interesting in that they form a basis of cost in mass buying of groceries. No enlisted man will aver that the boys are fed on luxuries —far from it. That would not be compatible with army dis~iplii)e. But it does illustrate the r point that the average workingmans family of four hungry mouths cost the bread-winner $1.44 per day for groceries and moat providing he can buy as cheaply; This is about S4O per montlinearly $450 per year--and it also corresponds with the average cost of food in jails, prisons and asvlums. The interesting point is that this figure is considerably higher ‘han is generally alloted by experts who dei sign fam'ly budgets on which j minimum wages are based and I may account in part for the I slowing up in consuming power that has so alarmed commercial and industrial organizations. It must be remembered that 75 per cent of all our peonle are renters, wage workers —but they are the big consumers. o Journal want-ads are investments that pay dividends.
