ELIMINATE SUGAR
FROM XMAS CANDY
URGES BICkNfLL
Idahoans Asked to Help
Conserve = Honey, Mo-
lasses, Fruit, Nuts, Etc,
Are Recommended.

sugar shortage and Christmas form
the basis of an appeal by Food Ad-
ministrator Bicknell to eat only candy
that Is made with honey. molasses,
fruits. nuts, raisins. dates and prunes.
While addressed primarily to the
children, 1.-The appeal is directed to
everyone who eats candy.
Idaho's administrator says: Don't
wait for New Years to make your res
olution that you will not eat any candy
made of cane or beat sugar and you
will be careful in using sugar On your
cereals or any other food served in
your home" Here Is the statement
when you got your Christmas stick
or bag Of candy and your mother told
you to share 1t with Ulster Edith or
brother Tom. how did you feel about
it? Cheerful? But ] believe that you
already know what real fun IT is to
share. When we get over that first
desire to keep everything for ourselves
we find out that It Is a pleasure to
Ego halves because then the Joy of
comradeship enters in. and is many
times greater than the pleasure Of
eating.
To-day II Is our Uncle Sam who is
asking us to share our sugar with our
friends. If need be. we are asked to
go more than halves. There is "A
shortage Of sugar at present and that
Is why Uncle Sam wants us all to give
up candy made OF cane or beet sugar.
and use other kinds of candy.
SUGAR NECESSARY FOOD.
'Why must we be so careful about
saving sugar? Because sugar Is n
necessary food. and not Just something
that we like to eat because Of the taste.
Sugar is the food. that helps the body
to stay warm, and also provides it with
energy. That Is why soldiers, exposed
in the trenches and working under
great strain, should have sugar-moro
sugar, even, than they needed at home.
And the people OF the allied countries
working harder than they ever did be-
fore, to keep up with their country's
needs, should also have much more
sugar than they are getting.
Our allies, who are fighting with us
and for us. will not have even the
smallest amount of sugar that their
bodies can get along with unless we
send them some of ours. They used t.
get sugar mostly from Germany, Aus
tria and Java, but now, OF course, they
cannot do that. In France each per-
son has only one and one-half pounds
a month, and in Italy only one pound.
We are used to having seven and a
half pounds a person each month.
Just at present we all know that 1t
Is hard to save sugar. because we are
caught between two crops We have
come to the end OF one sugar crop be-
fore the other crop from Cuba has
reached us. This crop matured later
than usual, and so has been delayed in
reaching us.
Even when the new crop comes we
shall still have to save sugar, but we
can have our Christmas candy Just the
same If we will mix little brains with
our sweets. Save sugar by making
your Christmas candy with honey, mo-
lasses, fruits. nuts, raisins. dates and
prunes. Make popcorn balls with mo-
lasses; dress dates up with a coating
Of unsweetened chocolates: make ma
pie sugar balls with nut centers"

the retention of enough of the con- quered Balkan territory to insure the route to Constantinople. That it is the intention to bring Austria-Hun- gary, Bulgaria, and Turkey into a customs union, Germanizing their industries and to surround the whole economic entity thus established with a formidable tariff wall, has been made clear by the declarations of Friedrich Naumann and other ex- ponents of an economic mittel Europa. Some influential men of this group even have suggested that Germany go so far as to be joint chancellery for Germany, Austria. and Hungary to conduct foreign affairs.
 All this is taken as revealing the point of premature peace which should leave the German south eastern domains unbroken. It is re- garded as giving a sinister color to recent movements for a separate peace for rAustria-Hungary or Bulgaria in the region where German conquest Is most safe, to the eagerness with which German leaders have taken up the cry of mo annexations'' so far as the great northern powers are con- .cerned, to the German chancellor's re- cent Refchstag speech indicating that the government was not yet ready to renounce it's territorial gains Yin France.

cording to testimony, when Zember had one knee in the pit of Mrs. Zem- ber's stomach and his hands about her neck, that Potash took 1t upon himself to interfere. He suffered the usual fate of a peacemaker, a discol- ored eye being one of the most pro- nounced of the mourning type dis played in court for many a, month. Potash said that he interfered when Zember attacked Mrs. Zember. The latter contended that Zember will not work, that she works every day, earns fair money, but he wants her to sup port him. This, she said, she is un- willing to do. A jail sentence of f1f- teen days with fine of $2O and costs was imposed on Zember despite his protestations that he was not to blame, works steadily, and wants to hold his present steady job. He said that he does the "best he can under the cir cumstances'' and pleaded for lenien- cy.

 One of the most powerful temper ance lessons preached in court for many a day was that of William Sod- ergren of 125 Smalley street, who pleaded guilty to charges of intoxi- cation, but not guilty to assault charges Liquor has caused all my trouble" he earnestly pleaded, pris- orler appearing hardly more than Q boy. but reputed to be one of tho cleverest painters in the city. Don't give me jail." he continued. but do something to stop my drinking and longing for liquors" His plea was pathetic in many ways and more ef- fective than many heard. Six months at the state farm for inebriates at Norwich was averted by the heart broken and fearful plea of his mother to court officials. although they an- nounced the belef that the sentence would be the most effective in bring ing about the desired results.

Sodergren promised ear nestly to meet the expectations of those who trust his reformation is permanent.
 He was originally held under sus- picion of being one of the three per- sons responsible for the rolling of John Broff of 32 LaurelS street for $40 at Smalley and Laurel streets.

 Attack on Andrezick Line.
 Enraged because, according to tes- timony, her husbands pay had been attached in proceedings over an al- legged unpaid installment bill, Mrs. Rosie Andrezick of Is Laurel street, attacked Monjan Koweick of B Spring street, a collector, with a mop satur- day afternoon, when he called at the tenement block to collect from an- other family. It cost her $5 and costs to express her indignation, arraign- ment on assault charges resulting in a conviction. It was claimed that she attacked the comlainant with the mop, fell when he wrested 1t from her hands. and then followed him into the yard, throwing a stone with such good aim that it seriously lacerated the back of his head. The defense claimed at Koweick hit the ac- cused with the mop handle after he took 1t from her. called her bad names and otherwise abused her. The com plainant. suffering from lacerated and bleeding head, made complaint to Capt. T. w Grace at police headquar- ters, the patrol being sent out with Chauffeur Matthias Rival and Police man Anthony Bachnaan to investi- gate. Their reports were reyewed by Prosecuting.

Adhesion of the German government itself to such a plan was not suspected by the other powers, although the propagandists were permitted to con- tinue their activities un1indered and to spread their appeals in country of strict press supervision through the Pan German. Gazette and other radt- cal publications. How closely the German government did adhere to the plan in reality has been demon strated clearly, it is considered now, by the course of the war.
 Following in the footsteps of Bis- marck. who used the Franco -Prusian war alliance to bring Baden, Bavaria, and Wurttemberg into the German confederacy and then into the German empire, Emperor William chose war as the means of establishing the broad pathway to the southeast. which was essential for realization of the dream of a great Germany.
