States, the food administration says:
- If the people of the United States
would cut out the eating of candy the
sugar so saved would be more than sul-
eient to meet all the sugar requirements
of France. If one-half Of the sugar
used i'll the making of candy in this
country in 1917 could have been saved
il would have been sufficient to meet
the requirements of Italy for a year
under the country S present sugar
standard. The money spent for candy
in the United States i'll the last year
| is nearly double the amount of money
needed to keep Belgium supplied with
food for q year.
tOf the total sugar consumption of
the United States, according to the best
| estimates obtainablc, about one third
goes into the manufacturing Of vari-
Gus foodstuffs, including confectionery
while the remainder is consumed as
sugar. The amount of sugar employed
In the making of confectionery is vari-
ously estimated from 100000 to 100000
tons per year. There has been compiled
no absolutely accurate data from which
the exact amount may be determined
but conservative estimate would place
this at somewhere about 100000 tons
per annum.

Be Careful.

In speaking of person 5 faults,
Pray. don t forget your own;
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone,
If we have nothing else to do
But talk Of those who sin,
'Tis better we should think of home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he S fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-ah, who have
not?
The old as well as young:
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
| Have fifty to their one.
| il tell Won Of better plan,
| And find it works quite well.
l try my own defects to cure,
! Before of others tell.
| And though | sometimes hope to be
| No worse than some T know,
Ny own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of Aothers 90.
| Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe.
Think of the harm that one may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
! Our chickens, "roost at home;
Don't speak of others faults until
| We have none of our own.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DIR. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear.

TOTAL REGISTRATIONS WILL
BE CLOSE TO NINE MILLIONS
Reports From rs States and District
of Columbia Show Registration of
4,7l6,768-Flnal Tabulation Delay

Oh SOlumDla Snow Registration of
4,716,76S-Final Tabulation Delay
Twenty-six States and the District
OF Columbia having all told slightly /
more than SO per cent of the coun, !
try's population, had sent in complete |
reports Of their military registration
Saturday night showing total regis
trations of 4,716,768 young men for
war service.
For the territory reporting the CEN
sus estimate was 5,372,5 ,596 eligibles.
On the basis of the returns it was
calculated that the grand total of reg.
lstration would be close to nine mil
lions, in place of 10,264,OOO as fore
cast by the census experts.
The reports showed white registra-
tions totalling 3,501 ,456, colored 634,-
10, alien 277,057, and enemy alien
45,O13. Possible exemptions indi-
Gated totalled 2,5OS,624.
Officials pointed out that the CEN
scs figures were intended only ap-
proximate and that the discrepancy
should not be taenk as indicating
evasion of the draft. It also was
pointed out that between 100000 and
100000 men included in the esti-
mate already are members of the
armed forces of the nation and there
fore did not register.
Many of the States which pevious-
y reported complete returns are send
ing supplemental reports adding to
their totals. Delays in registering,
especially among those who regis
, tered by mail, is responsible. This
? shifting of totalsmay delay final
tabulation for a week or more.

CANNING BULLETINS SCARCE

1t Has Been Impossible to Obtain a
Supply for Local Distribution-The
RobesoniaE Will Publish Articles
On This Subject
Mrs. R. D. Caldwell, who was ap-
pointed chairman of committee to
secure and distribute locally bulletins
from the State Department Of Ag-
riculture on canning, asks The Rob-
esonian to state that it has been i'm
possible to obtain a supply Of these
bulletins. County Demonstration
Blanchard made several efforts to
get supply, offering to pay for them
in spite of the fact that they are for
free distribution, but the department
was swamped with demands and
could not supply them. A very few
were obtained, but not near enough
to supply the demand. Mrs. Caldwell
has received numerous calls for bull
letins from ladies who are distress
ed because they are losing vegetables
for lack Of information about can
ming them.
In order to supply this information

supposed her husband was lost. While
he was living the wife never thought
of his souls salvation and never ask
ed him to accept Christ. It was then
too late to shed tears. This was an
instance when tears came too late.
!, 1t will be too late to shed tears for
the soul of son or daughter, a hus-
band or a wife when they are dead.
The time to shed tears is while they
are living. |
There comes a time in every mans
life when his soul faces the same
! thing Esau faced when he sold his
birthright. Many a man goes down
| to death and realizes time when
he was impressed to accept God, but
sold his birthright. 1t is then that
he weeps, but it is too late then. We
read in Gods word that in hell there
shall be weeping and gnashing Of
teeth, but then it will be too late to
shed tears. The time to weep is when
soul stands face to fact with Christ
!; All the tears of eternity cannot
bring back wasted life.
! Too Late in He'll
| The time will come when every
presence of God and receive a SEN
| tence either to heaven or hell. It
, will BE- too late to weep then. The
rich man lifted up his eyes in hell
: and wept, but it was too late then.
4 All lns cries failed to bring him a
y crop Of water to cool his parching
2 tongue. After a soul is plunged into
3 hell it will be too late to shed
e tears. Now is the time to shed
h them. Christ is offering salvation
now. If you reject God and go to
t hell the one sad wall of the soul
: throughout eternity will be, O that
it 1 had!

School Tax Levy Same as Last Year
In Thursdays Robesonian it was
stated that special school tax of
5 cents on the S1OO valuation and Is
ceits on the poll was levied by the
board of county commissioners Mon
day of last week. This was correct,
but the statement to the effect that
only 20 cents on the $1OO valuation
was levied last year was incorrect
Il was reported to The Robesnolan as
i was published, but it has been
learned since that the special tax OF

cents on the poll was levied last year
The school tax levy this year is the
