PRIESTS AT THE FRONT
TWENTY-sEvEN PRIESTS WORK
ING IN SPIRITUAL FIELD WITH
AMERICAN TROOPS AT FRONT.

A dispatch from the American Army
headquarters in France, says: TWEEN
ty-seven Roman Catholic priests will
soon be carrying the work of the
Church among the men of that faith
in the American expedition. Plans
for an extensive religious undertaking
have been completed here, and are
expected to be in operation within a
few days. Each priest will be fur
nished with a sidecar motorcycle to
enable him to get around to the diff
ferent villages in the sections of the
country where the troops are billeted.
The success of the plan, which
was first proposed by a veteran army
chaplain at the time of the last Mexi-
can expedition, has been made posi-
BILE through a fund of several million
dollars raised by the knights of
Columbus in the United States.
Priests have already been selected for
this duty. They include ,twenty-one
who can speak French as we'll as Eng
lish. The other six are chaplains al
ready serving in the expedition.
The area occupied by the main
part of the American army will be
divided into smaller districts, each to
be a separate parish in charge of one
of the priests. The others will have
charge of the work along the lines OF
communication and at the big supply
depots at the naval bases.
The priests Will be able to carry
with them everything necessary tc
conduct services, administer sacra
ments, and perform other functions
| of the Church.

A Vicious Rumor

Among the many absurd and vicious
rumors put into circulation these days,
probably through pro-German in.

proposes to confiscate money on de.

statement is obvious on it's face. These
rumors are wholly without foundation

Sugar is a quick form Of fuel food
because it must go through fewer
changes for body use than other
than other foods; therefore, it can be
used to advantage in small amounts
when one is very tired, to relieve ia
tigue when one is on long tramps or
is doing hard labor.
Amount of Sugar
The average amount Of sugar re
qUired by>peOple living in temper
ate climate is One-foUrth of a pound
daily, including the sugar used in
cooking and taken in fruits and veg
Ctables.
Danger From Too Much Sugar
The chief danger from the use Of
sugar is that it so satisfies the body
that it takes away the appetite for
other foods. Therefore, it should be
taken as flavoring in other foods,
such as fruits and vegetables, or in
the form of candy. If used in the
form of candy it should be taken at
the end of meals as part Of the des-
seTt and not between meals.
Economy in Use of Sugar
To prevent waste in cooking, sU-
gar should not be added to the food
until the cooking is nearly COM
pIeted. If necessary to cook sugar !
any length of time, or if the food
contains an acid, the amount of SUI
