To SAVE THE SUGAR
BAN PLACED ON MAKING OF ICES
~r. AND SHERBETs. IT,. .l

Government agents are asking in
special communications that manu-.
factureres refrain from the making of
ices and sherberts during the period OF
the scarcity of sugar. The ices, sher-
bets and other kindred refreshments
require such a great amount of sugar
that the continuous use of them is re-
garded as waste and an extravaganza
not to be tolerated at this time.
This request and, statement may be
better understood when the fact is
considered that ten times the amount
of sugar is required for an ice or a
sherbet that is used in ice cream.
Hence individuals and organizations
heretofore serving ices and kindred
dishes for dessert will be asked to
confine their menu to ice creams.

EXEMPTIONS GIVEN GAS HAS TROUBLES
WAR CONDITIONS IMPOSE EM6AR-
GO ON MATERIAL.

And now the world war is dealing
the gas-making industry a severe
blow. This fact was pointed out to-
day by an official of the oskaloosa
Light & Fuel Company, who stated
that his Company is encountering the
greatest difficulty in securing neces-
sary materials for the manufacture OF
Illuminating and commercial gas in
this city. Coal, coke and crude oil, the
principal ingredients Of gas manu-
facture, have been worrying the gas
makers for some time but recent or
ders from the government as a part OF
its intensive war program have pro-
duced an extremely serious situation
in the gas making industry.
: Until the beginning of the world war
the local company has used Pennsyl-
vania or West Virginia coal or coke
in the manufacture Of gas because Of
the fact that it is free from sulphus
and makes an odorless gas. Since the
European hostilities started, however,
and especially within the last year, it
has been impossible to secure coal or
coke from these states because the
available supply has been taken by the
government either for the navies OF
the allied governments or our own
navy. The company has had to depend
since then on Illinois coal or coke and
until recently has secured it from
fields in the extreme southern portion
Of the state which produce coal rea-
sonably free from sulphur.
Under the government scheme of
ar control recently announced how
ever, the plan is to require that coal
lie obtained from the nearest locality
and it is almost impossible to secure
even southern Illinois COAL To add to
the troubles of the gas makers the
government also has use for practic-
ally all the available supply OF crude
oil for military purposes, making i
necessary in some cases for the com
panies to substitute coal oil in the
manufacture of gas. AS yet, the local
company has not had to resort to the
use of coal oil. However as several
other companies in the near vicinity
have already been forced to substitute,
it is not improbable that in the near
future the local company will be forced
to do likewise
Under these conditions it is antici-
pated that the housewife who notices
an unpleasant odor from the gas or
lack of pressure will be patient and
charge it up to the war along w.
the meatless days, wheatless days and
other extraordinary war necessities
now testing her patriotism.

The Surest Faith

You tell me your faith was the
faith of happiness. This is never the
surest. Fortunately mine grew up
under a dark sky, and the light has
been increasing to this day. MY pas
sion for happiness spent itself in my
youth in reveries. 1 never thought of
realizing the vision on earth, and yet
it has, in an humble manner. been
realized. My faith in God, sehooled
by trial, looked to Him first and al
most exclusively for virtue. for de-
liverance from the great evil of sin,
which early felt to be the only true
evil. The consciousness of unworthi-
ness repressed all hopes of immediate
happiness, gave me profound con-
viction of the justice of my suffering,
turned all my reproaches from Prov
idence on myself. and not only made
me incapable of murmuring, but
taught me gratitude for the discipline
of life.-William Ellery Claiming.
