FOOD PRICES IN ENGLAND
'(By Associated Press)
London, Jan. 25. The level of re
tail prices has advanced 84 per cent
since the war began on twenty-leading
articles of daily use, according
to the Hoard of Trade returns just
issued. As compared with prices in
December, 1915, they showed an ad
vance of 29 per cent. The price of
wheat increased during the year by
about 20 to 25 per cent. Potatoes
were considerably more than double
'the price of a year earlier. iGranu
lated sugar, eggs and cheese . were
dearer by 40 per cent, 35 per cent,
and 30 per cent, respectively. For
flour, bread, milk, butter, bacon, and
fish, increases ranging from 19 to
27 per cent were recorded. The
price of margarine advanced during
the year by 14 per cent. Tea alone
among the articles included in the re
turns, remained practically un
changed in price.

WIHISKJfY CONSUMED BY
AMERICANS INCREASED
Washington, Jan. 25. The amount
of whiskey consumed by the Ameri
can people in 1916 apparently wa.
greater than in any previous yea
since 1909, according to tax returns
to the treasury department, com
piled, and the amount of revenue col
lected by the government on whiskey
beer and cigarettes during the year
was greatest on record.
fWjhile returns show that the ten
dency toward prohibition has not low
ered the government's revenue from
whiskey, officials believe that the por
tion of the increase nearly $24,000,
000 more than in 1915 is attributa
ble to the fact that the government
is at present collecting taxes on all
the whiskey produced in the country,
whereas, because of extensive frauds,
such was not the case a few years
ago.
Consumption of cigarettes in 1910
reached the highest market ever re
corded. The tremendous increase,
more than 40 per cent over 1915, is
attributed to two main causes: In
creased prosperity of the country
and growth of the cigarette habit
among women. Many millions of cig
arettes made for feminine users
were produced in this country and
imported during the past year, where
as a few years ago production and im
portation of such cigarettes were
negligible by comparison.

ance.
Nearly ten years ago, Rev. Brad
shaw was called from a delightful
pastorate to take the work in the wes
tern part of the state, as assistant
corresponding secretary of the State
Mission Board. During these years,
he has fallen in love with his work,
and the people have fallen in love
with him for his work's sake. During
these years very little of his time was
devoted to revival meetings, yet 2,
518 were converted under his preach
ing. He made 180 visits 'to asso
ciations. He assisted in raising $5,
000 for schools, held 200 missionary
institutes and assisted in forming
fields, and aiding pastors all this,
besides his special work on state
missions.
In dropping this glorious work and
coming to this church as pastor, he
proves an exception in two particulars:
1. A prophet does have honor in his
own country. For ten years he has
lived" here, and his life has been a ben
ediction to the church and city ; 2. He
comes, not from a financial consider
ation, as his salary now is greater
than what the church starts out with.
He will 'take up this work the first of
March, and everybody will give him
a hearty welcome, and pray God's
richest blessings on him and the
church. J. F. C.
