One way of helping the enemy
seems to have been so effectually
blocked that we need no longer
borrow trouble about it. No SYM
pathizer with Germany can send
money-one dollar or million
to that country. The govern
ment forbids and prevents the
shipment of gold even to neutrals
except under a license that makes
sure it is not for the enemy. I'm
authorized shipment may be
made, but there are warships
patrolling the sea to prevent
trading with the enemy, the mails
are closely inspected, and in
short all the avenues by which
spmpathizers in this country
could send money are so efficient
ly INSTRUCTED that it is folly to
attempt to use any of them.

Some people do not clearly I'M
derstand the ruling affecting the
sale of sugar. They cannot see
that it made any difference in the
amount you could buy, as you
were allowed Is pounds at one
store and could get Is pounds at
another store and so on. In max
ing this ruling the government
went on the superstition, no doubt,
that patriotic American citizens
are not devoid of a sense of
honor. If the ruling does moth
ing else it will bring the fact be-
fore the people of the nation as
nothing else would, that there is
shortage in sugar at this time
and that the proper thing to dc
is to conserve the supply.

Hogs are going to twenty cents
before great while, according
to northwestern packers, who
are unable to get sufficient to
meet the demands of the public.
Nows comes along the Govern
ment and says it must have
about "a, 900, 600 pounds of lard a
month with which to keep the
Allies supplied. Considerable of
it must come from the Pacific
Northwest, but it cannot be had
unless more hogs are raised.
Government experts say they can
not understand why more farm
ers are not rushing into the hog
growing business when it is a
cinch that the price of pork is to
remain enormously high for a
long time to come. If the war
should stop tomorrow it is pointed
out that the demand for pork
would be just about as great as
it is at present, for the reason
that the foreign countries are
now and will be for years to come
short of their normal pork supply
and must come to this country
for it. There is no branch of
farming today that is so inviting
from a money making point of
view.

Those who are given to morbid
brooding over the dangers that
will beset our soldiers abroad will
find some comfort in an explana-
ton given by Arthur Guy EN-
pey, author of lover the Top"
in an interview in the New York
Times. Empey says that out of
a year of life at the front, six
months is spent in a situation
where the soldiers chances of
violent death are smaller than
they would be amid the speeding
motor cars of a fair-sized home
city, and of the other six months,
only two months are spent where
the danger is greatest, while
even II the fcr e.Sost trenches
the dangers are intense only at
intervals, which may be separat-
ed by comparatively long periods
of safety. The time spent by
the soldiers in their rest billets
is practically free from danger,
except from stray and infrequent
shells, and they have little to do
except to amuse themselves. In
their pastimes they are being
more and more helped by the
facilities furnished by such agen-
cies as the Young Mems Christian
Association.

A Waffle Mould de Luxe

This Is another piece Of the beautiful cast
aluminium ware Of which we have already
given several groups.
Il is a square waffle mould made with an
especially high frame for use over vapor and
gas stoves. The frame, although sufficiently
strong and thoroughly well made of cast iron,
black japanned finished is much thinner than
usual, greatly lessening the weight and cum-
siness that we usually associate with waffle
iron.
The mould Is made of heavy cast aluminium,
beautifully finished, and is divided into four
square compartments. The two sides are
separated, but are held together by joint
which is like a ball squarely divided across
the centre. This division allows the two
halves of tho mould to be separated, while the
ball works in socket in such way that the
mould turns easily.
The handles have long wooden ferrules, so
that in grasping them no holder is needed.
This waffle iron needs only one greasing.
After that it bakes perfectly and improves
with use.
Made by the Wagner Manufacturing Com
pany, Sidney. Ohio. Dimensions, inches by
Inches. Will fit any size stove. Price, s3.25.

Take This in Your Lunch Box

Carrying ones lunch nowadays does not
mean a sandwich and a chunk of cake, done up
in a paper parcel, but all the markings" of
good hot meal.
That is why the vacuum food jar and the
vacuum bottle are indispensable in the well
regulated luncheon box, which is meant to pro-
vide sufficient nourishment for the weary
workman or hungry hiker, as the case may be.
The Universal Vacuum Food Jar is par
ticuarly good jar of its kind. The green enam-
elled metal case contains silvered glass bottle,
resting upon spring steel shock absorber. The
opening at the top is full width, so that the
jar may be filled with any Kind Of solid or
semi-solid food, such as meats, salads, pud-
dngs, ice cream, ETC., as we'll thick soups,
chowders or stews. The cork stopper, covered
with nickel-pated cap, insures against leak
age.
