HOW FAT FOLKS
MAY BECOME SLIM
A Simple, Safe And Reliable Way That Calls For No
Drastic Diet or Tiresome Exercises
Fat people, particularly those who
weigh from 10 to 20 pounds more than
they should, have been much interested
in the remarkable reports that have re
cently been published of the manner in
which weight is being: safely reduced
by what is known as the fresh air
method combined with the use of ordi
nary oil of korein.
This plan, which is so strongly recom
mended and endorsed is very simple and
makes unnecessary starvation diets
dangerous drugs, sweating or weaken
ing processes or strenuous exercise
Satisfy your apnetite with plentv of
good, substantial food, but do not eat
more than you need, as this overtaxes
your organs of assimilation. It is im
portant to get plenty of fresh air,
breathing it deeply into the lungs and
to take with each meal a few drops of
oil of korein in capsule form which I
you can obtain from any good druggist. I

War's Increase in Food
Prices Hits Neutrals Almost
as Hard as Belligerents
By Associated Prest
Washington, July 18. "War's in- 1
crease of food prices in Europe as (
shown to-day by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, has touched neutrals almost j
as heavily as it has the belligerents, j
The Teutonic countries have felt the
pinch more than have the allies. The I
s bureau's statistics give the biggest !
food price advances in Austria, where '
meats are more than 500 per cent,
higher than before the outbreak of
hostilities. Beef that in February 1914
. sold for 6.30 cents a pound now i
brings 38.7 cents. Meat prices in
Berlin show increases ranging from 45 1
to 160 per cent.
The British public Is paying on an I
average 55 per cent, more for its
food than it did two years ago. The j
. greatest increase, 152 per cent., has !
been in sugar; the lowest 17 per cent., j
in oleomargarine.
In France prices are 23 per cent. |
above the pre-war average; in'ltaly I
1 around 30 per cent,
j Prices increase in the neutral coun- !
tries are shown to be highest in Xor
| way, where 29 necessities are sold at
| an average of 63 per cent, more than :
lin 1914. Copenhagen workmen pay |
' 34 per cent, more for table articles
than two years ago; In Sweden prices
a'e 21 per cent, higher; in Switzer
i land the range is from 36 per cent,
to 175.
A statement issued yesterday by the
Bureau said the war had had little '
effect on food prices in this country.
BIG INCREASE IN WAGES

placed 11,453 persons in emplovment

More than 17,500 persons applied for

Foreign Trade in Last Year
Totals Six and Half Billions
Washington, D. C., July 13. More,
Ithan six and a half billion dollars in
round figures is the total value of the;
foreign trade of the United States for
i rhe fiscal year which ended June 30.
1916. All previous records have been,
smashed by approximately two and a
half billion dollars. War orders are
responsible.
The estimate for the fiscal year just
ended became available at the Bu-1
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com-1
I merce of the Department of Com- i
■ merce. The figures will not be final
| until the June reports have been re
; ceived from the various custom houses •
I throughout the country. They are j
| based on the final May statistics.
Of the six and a half billion $4,345,-
; 000,000 represented exports. The re
mainder, $2,180,000,000. represented'
: imports. Exportations of explosives,
I iron and steel, meats, automobiles and
' chemicals sent to the belligerents in
Europe increased amazingly in the last
year. Other articles also showed in- i
i creases although because of the Ger- j
; man blackade exportations of raw cot- j
ton dropped considerably from the to
tal of 1914 before the war began.
HOW APPENDICITIS
CAN BE PREVENTED
Harrisburg people should know j
that a few doses of simple buckthorn ;

pendicitis. This simple mixture re
moves such surprising foul matter
that OXE SPOONFUL relieves almost

chronic stomach trouble. Adler-i-ka
