Rather reluctant ly those who insisted last Thanksgiv ing that the public would hava to pay the penalty for refusing to yield to the excessive prices are apparently finding themselves obliged to take a km* for their folly instead of what many called an unfair profit. Prices as low as 25 cents a pound for chicken are quoted at retail, which means of course that those who have held the chickens in xtoraye are obliged to sell them at wholesale at even lower price*, which ia quite a drop from last Thanksgiving's quota tions, especially when the additional storage charge of approximately one third of a cent a pound a month is considered. Wise housewives who looked over the poultry during the holidays, in quired the price and refused to buy upon Anding it higher than they thought it ought to be, now feel that such a weapon is quite effective and will be a strong support to the Food Control Bill in reducing the high cost of living.

Petrojfrad, Aug. 12.—The central, committee which is dealing with the| affairs of war prisoners issued a state ment today "in high protest airainat' the refined barbarity which Germany . is displaying" toward Russian pria The statement wji the Germany is not fulfilling her promises regnnling the internment in neutral countries of sick prisoners, that she is illegally re taining military prisoners unfit for service, and that she U placing re strictions on the men communicating I with.their homes ami intercepting let ters asking assistance from the Red | Cross. It also says that the rations of the prisoners havj been reduced to unheard of proportions and that they; include adulterated product* injurious to the men. In addition, prisoners arej compelled to undertake super-human labor. | It is asserted in the statement that | Germany abstains from replying to proposals for the exchange of civi lian prisoners and hostanges for the alleviation of the lot of war prisoners on the ba*.is of reciprocity, or for th? exchange of tubercular prisoners or the sending of Sisters of Charity to nurse them. America's Cause for War. "The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our communities with vi I rious spies and conspirators. They sought to corrupt our citizens. * * They sought by violence to destroy our industries and arrest our com merce. They tried to Incite Mcxico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into hostile alliance with her. They impudently deniad us the use of the high seas and repeatedly executed their threat that they would send to their death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Kurope. * t • "This flag under which we serve | would have been dishonored had we withheld our hand."—Woodrow Wil Declared On Typhoid Fever TREE TREATMENTS!

The United Stated i* financing itself in this war by loans and taxes. It ob tain* fundi from the people, some by taxation and <one by the sale of bond*, and then it goes into the mar ket* and buy* from the people what it need*. The people supply the govern ment with money and the government with this money buy* from the peo ple what it needs for the war. There are three sources from which the United States can draw the sinews of war. First is the rtxed property of the nation. This repreM>nw our farms, factories, mine*, railway* and all oth er property including accumulated saving*. From the corpua or body of none of these, except the accumulated savings, will the government obtain war funds, and even from the accu mulated savings it will draw a rela tively small portion. These accumu lated savings are invested in indus tries and business which are neces sary to the country's we! rare and pro sperity and it is only that portion of these saving* which are seeking in vestment that the government will re ceive in exchange for *.om*j. The second and the great source from which the government is to de rive "its fund is the woalth produced during the war. Part of thia it will obtain by taxation and part in ex change for bonds. The annual pro duction of the United States, from its farms, mines, factories, and other sources, amounts to fifty billion dol lars a year and out of .this fifty bil lion dollars will come the funds, part from taxes and part from the sale of bonds, with which the United States will finance itself during this war. By taxation this generation will pay it* portion of the cost of the war. By the sale of bonds the next generation is called upon to pay its portion, apd thU last portion will be paid from the I rfliti wealth prcdurtion after the war. By this method the capital of the country, its courres of income and ■ wealth, are unimpaired. It is only the yearly increment of this property that is called upon to bear a portion of the coat of the war. Thus despite the waste of the war and the destruction of property involved the country may . emerge from the conflict stronger fi nancially, m<we efficient and even wealthier than before. What the gov . eminent receives it receives from the people without impairing the sources of wealth of the country, and passes it bark to the people in exchange for the productions of the cvuntry. It is in a way only a shifting of credits. The government collects the ourrent I taxes and by means of bonds antici pates taxes of the years to come, and | all the money thus acquired passes back into the hands of the tax-payers. This is why the governments which follow sound economic methods not ! only are not impoverished by wars but sometimes emerges the stranger as , Kngland did after the Napoleonic j wars and the United Stales did after ; our great Civil War.
