FRANCE NEEDS SUGAR.
Hoover Asks Americans to Reduce Their
Consumption.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-Food Adj
ministrator Hoover appealed to the
| American people last night to reduce their
consumption of sweets to leave a share
! for the French allies, who are facing the
prospect of two months entirely without
sugar.
I'VE have received request from the
French government" Mr.. Hoover said,
that we allow them to export from the
United States 100000 tons of sugar dur
ing the next month, and probably more
at later period.
"0ur own situation is that we have
Just sufficient sugar to maintain our nor
NAL consumption until the first of Janu-
airy, when the new West Indian crop
becomes available to all.
"0ur consumption is at the rate OF 30
pounds per person per year-a little un-
der four ounces per day per person.
THE French people are on ration OF
sugar equal to only Fl pounds per annum
per person-or at the rate of less than
one single ounce per day per person
a little more than the weight of silver
dollar each day.
aThe English and Italian rations are
also not over but ouItr Pti Noy-
'The French people will be entirely /,
without sugar for over two months II
we refuse to part with enough from our
stocks to keep them supplied with even
this small allowance, as 1T is not avail
able from any other quarter.
"Sugar even to greater amount than
the French ration is human necessity
If our people will reduce by one-third
their purchases and consumption of candy
md Of sugar for other uses than pre-
serving fruit, which we do not wish to
interfere with, we can save the French
situation.
In the interest of the French people,
md of the loyalty we owe them to d.
,ide our food in the maintenance of our
COMMON cause, ask the American people
o do this. 1t is unthinkable that we re-
use this request"

Uncle Ike Ross, a weatherbeaten

dow at two city men who had tramped
five miles from their mountain camp to
post some business letters. He shook
his head.

BOroday had used his days freedom
TO warn the band and to make plans
for regaining his freedom. OF money
he had none. What he had made under
old Hilary's leadership had gone back
to Russia, dollar for dollar. He had
financed part Of the Kiev defense of
the Jews, had saved Prince Ovarsky
from Siberia. There were other things.
Money would save Boroday. And
there was practically no money.
BY unanimous consent they kept the
news of his arrest from Ellnor.
1t was Talbot who planned the coun-

No Advice Given.

An inclination to advise is not bad
trait in character, even when youth
is passed. 1t shows keen interest
in human affairs, large and small, and
a willingness to accept responsibility.
The consent which life extracts from
some men and more women to let the
world go its own way, to lay no res
training hand upon the shoulder OF
friend or acquaintance, means that the
handspring of the nature has been
broken, and that the whole character
has become passive. 1t Is strange
attitude, witnessing to great deal OF
suffering, but accompanied very often
by strong sense of humOr. But most

was left to Hun and LethbrIdge. A
quarter Of mile away across the golf
links, they would have a car In which
to make their getaway.
Lethbridge was only lukewarm.
"WeIl get lot Of jewelry," he OBJ

But Talbot was sure the loot would
include money.
1t was rather cleverly planned.

across the road outside the entrance, 1t

meant time to the bandits.

She was there much earlier, hands

Always old Hilary had done these
things. She was profoundly frightened.
Ward, walking rapidly home from
the club, saw her there, q little after
midnight. There was n young moon,
and at first he thought he must be mis-
taken. Then, when he was sure Of her,
he ran up the shallow steps. The glad

deep voice.

Keep Windows Open Az Time.

Gs?t into the habit of living in a
house with all the windows open,
rain or shine-night and day. You
can't possibly get too much fresh air.
The very fact that people say their
houses are damp and chilly shows that
the windows have not been open
enough, says prominent health au-
thority.
Damp houses come from not having
enough air to dry them out. Even on
the rainy days it were better to open
wide the windows and let the fresh air
in and even little rain-than to shut
the windows down, stopping the en-
trance of fresh air.
The healthiest people in the world
are the savages, and they live out of
doors in the rain as well as in the
sunshine. Don't be afraid of fresh air
at any time.

ONE WAY OF RAISING MONEY
Governments, In NapoIeonic Wars,
Made Counterfeit Coins to Finance
Raids on Enemy.

Numerous methods have been
adopted from time to time for supple
menting the currency Of the various
countries engaged in war, but it is
scarcely possible that the powers will
be forced again to the expedlents that
we're often essential in the old days.
Prior to NapOleOn's 1872 campaign,
for instance, the Paris gendarmes
made a raid one night on house In
the Plaine MontrOuge, and discovered
a mandatory Of false notes. Quite
a sensation was caused when, on the
following day, the police minister
made the announcement that the man
.ufactory had been started "by order
of the emperor" The false notes,
which were Austrian and Russian,
instead of French, were intended for
use against the enemy on the Russian
expedition, but the bulk of them came
to grief during the great retreat.
