Dr. Aston told how Professor Ruth- When it comes to the mat- ter uf paying bills conven- iently,and with the utmost safety, there is one way and one way only that should appeal to you—and that is payment by check.

CHANGE IN PRICES IN GERMANY GREAT Contrast Shown Between Pre-War Conditions and Those of Today Berlin, Oct, 12,—About the only thing that can be bought in Germany today for one mark Is a wire nall, ‘Under the present quality standards of production,” remarks a native pes- simist, “the nail may or may not be strong enough to hang one's self on after he has looked over. the other in- creases in prices,” Before the war a thousand marks would pay for twenty suits of clothes, Today that sum will purchase a vest, A good plano could be bought then for 900 marks, a sum now required for a @ir of boys' shoes. Five hun- dred pre-war marks sufficed to build a small house, while now it scarcely foots the bill for two pairs of worh- en's woolen stockings. Two pounds ot butter can be found on the market today for 400 marks, or the pre-war price of a milch cow, One cannot get a spool of thread today for the former price of a sew- [* ing machine, Fifty marks once bought a lady's siik dress; now it will buy a cheap handkerchief. There was a time, some elght years ago, when one could get a bottle of champagne for what it costs now to ride on the subway. Two cigarettes are worth what a hundred of the same quality cost in 1914, To follow the dally rise {n prices at the present time, the Berlin news- paper reader must pay six marks for a copy of his favorite journal. In the “good old days” the paper cost him sixty times less, or ten pfennigs, A shopkeeper In Darmstadt dis- plays a five dollar bill in his window ittached to the following notice: “‘For this note foreigners formerly obtalned goods to the value of 26.25 marks; now they get wares worth 7,000 marks for i{t. Therefore I sell only to Germans.” GIRL SEES ELECTROCUTION Southern Young Woman Watches Man Who Assaulted Her Die Raleigh, N.

As she was leav- ing the death room the girl attacked, was asked whether she realized what the law had done. “Yes, yes,” she replied, "certalnly; I do.” ! | OT SEIZE LIQUOR. | New York, Oct. 12.—Federal Judge | Learned Hand today granted a tem- | porary restraning order prohibiting H.
