SHERLOCK HOLMES OUTDONE.

A few days ago it was announced that
the u. S. Secret Service ~ had discover
ed 10000 900 pounds of sugar hoard
ed n Buffalo, N, Y A little later the
news came that it belonged to the gov
eminent and had been reserved (?) for the
manufacturers of condensed milk. These
stories are not entirely credible because
they come from Washington and read too
much like an elaboration by somebody.
But if true, it seems to be the duty of the
Attorney General to cause Uncle Sam to
be lined $4,000 and sent to prison for two
years as provided in Section 6 of the
food bill.

SUGAR.

In the households of New York city a
.5ood sized panic ensued when it was an
bounced that people were to 60 on half
ratlons of sugar The retail stores were
besieged by customers clamorlng tor
sugar to hoard so that the 'sweet tooth
might have it's accustomed qualification.
Statistics show that the sugar consumed
IN the United States is 90 pounds per capita
annually. Of course we know that millions
Of people get much less than half this
amount and other millions get much more
than the average. In colonial days sugar
was curiosity, and from 1850 down past
the period of the Civil war, sugar was a
luxury and happy were the farmers chill
5reD who were RECALLED with what was
called molasses sugar. Yet children and
adults as well, were then in far better
health than now. Twenty five years
ago we used about 90 pounds per capita
and ten years ago rs pounds. The in
crease has been steady and quite re-
maTkable till now, when we find that
Fin gland is the only country which ever
used more sugar per capita than we have
been doing for the last year, and France
mas never yet used half as much. We
protest against the high cost of living
and wonder when eatables can again be
bought at the prices of two years ago,
hut we do not stop to think of the power
that is in our own hands. When we are
asked to pay 10 cents pound for sugar
DO We order five pounds and by economy
make that do in place of ten pounds?
No, we take the ten pounds and practice
little if any self denial in it's use This is
true of almost every necessity, and the on
" remedyis to economic until the supply
exceeds the demand. When that is done
down will go prices and spectators will
be at the mercy of the consumers. In
few weeks the present shortage of sugar
will be history, but are we sufficiently
sen ooled by this experience to profit by
the lesson?

HE HAS IRON
IN HIS BLOOD

That is why he is such a great VIM

overcomes obstacles and knows no
such thing as failure.
Iron in the successful formula for
Peptiron, which also includes pepsin,
nux, celery and other tonics, seda-
tives and digestives, helps to give
strength, color and body to the
blood; reddens pale cheeks, steadies
the nerves, nourishes and gives
stamina to the whole body.
Peptiron is in pill form, chocolate
coated, pleasant to take, easily as

The Soldier Woman.
Letter from Washington Woman to Her
Sister in Michigan Telling How One
Woman is Cooperating With the Food
Administration.

Washington, Oct. 81.
Edith Dear
1t is obvious that the food administra-
ton is really helping the Anne rican wom-
an become soldier.
When it comes to conserving two bill
lion dollars at the rate of two cents a
meal, and sending 100000, 600 extra bush
els of wheat to our Allies at the cost to
each American of saving a pound of bread
weekly we've got to admlt-you and 81
that it is up to US to do our share.
The issues of this war are in our hands.
The food ad minIstration cannot make
good" on its food program unless every
home-maker does her "bit." Every one
of us must realize that winning this war
actually depends on our individual effort.
Yet we are not asked to skimp. We
are told that everybody may eat plenty if
they eat wisely and without waste. It's
chiefly a program of substitution. All
that is expected of US is that we use the
foodstutfs that are hard to ship abroad.
OF course you know as well as | that
general adherence to the food admins
tratlon program is essential, but the per-
feet results depend on each woman S
study of the situation in her own home
and the right sort of re-adjustment of
her own affairs.
I've taken an inventory of my own, TO
find out; 1st-The leaks-those small
wastes that have always seemed too
trivial to bother about; 2nd-to decide
the things to be done now; 3rd-To gain
the cooperation of Jack and the children
in eating locally grown foodstuffs, and
being less finicky about dishes made of
left-overs. They've just got to learn to
like everything there is to eat.
If my ''bit" is to be felt they've got to
help me be soldier-woman. can't go
with gun to the trenches, and | haven't
a son old enough to send, hut that shall
not keep me from helping the fighters by
doing my part toward feeding them.
The first thing to realize is that every
day is vital day; every opportunity is
too big to be lost; every woman is a
Stacker who does not back her food

WAR SUMMARY.

a part of Gen. Pershing's forces are in
the front trenches, to complete their
training and to fight if necessary. On
the Western front the Allies have made
not able gains but no heavy attacks have
been made by them for several days. A
ne ar if not a complete disaster has oc-
cured on the Italian line. 1t is reported
that the Austrians have captured 100, 900
prisoners. The French are sending aid
to Gen. Cadorna. From Paris to the
fighting line in Italy is little more than
300 miles by rail. 1t is said that the Allies
on the western line have large reserve,
part of which can be spared to help in

THE STORY

Margaret Christy has for two years
been engaged to Robert Wallace. Con-
tented with the usual round of dinners
and receptions, he does not ask her to set
date for the wedding. John Harding,
his best friend, and George Wallace, his
younger brother, are much interested in
the talk of impending war, and express
their anxiety to enlist, but he does not
share their patriotism. Finally war is
declared When Robert reads the an
nouncement that single men will be called
first, he insists on being married at once.
Margaret comes from a line of patriots
After the honeymoon she plunges into the
work of recruiting. Much to her husbands
disgust she insists that he accompany her
on these excursions, While she addresses
the crowds, he sits back in the limousine,
utterly bored with all these demonstra-
tons. Margaret seems inspired and she
wins many recruits.
