American Habit
 Finds Favor In
 London's Center

London, August 14.-Diners-out in London are regularly engaged just now in a practice which popularly is known as "pocketing the sugar." The idea is to lay up a supply of sweeten- ing for a day when it may be harder to obtain or, on the part of non-sugar eating individuals, for friends who like more than they are allowed. The custom is practiced all over the city and in all classes of places where tea and food are served.
 German submarines lately seem to have been especially active against ships that happened to be carrying sugar, with the result that, while there is enough to go around, the sup plies for the distant future are none too large. Tea and coffee are served with just the allowed weight of su- gar, usually set alongside the cups in separate containers and usually con- sisting of halves of thirds of Jumps It is there pieces of Jumps that most often are seen disappearing into. the gold, silver and leather handbags ot the women and the waistcoat pockets of the men.
 Sugar served for berries or other food is hard to pocket. Nearly al ways it is of the crude variety and very sticky; but collectors of sugar even carry off this kind with them
 having a convenient envelope or . little cloth bag ready for it.. Lump sugar is much more populal | however. and in the mesh bags o. women in London's streets and hotel. the white cubes, or pieces of them can be seen mingling with keys, treas
 ury notes, odd change, powder puff l and other things.

Liberty Bonds Soon
 Ready For Delivery

Many inquiries are being made as to when delivery of Liberty bonds may be expected. The best information obtainable from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as spokesman for the United States Treasury Depart ment, is that the bonds will be ready for delivery some time this fall. As the number of subscriptions to the loan totals more than four mill lions and as one subscription. some times means many different denom- nations of bonds, thereby running the probable total to fifteen or twenty million separate bonds, the size of the task in printing and dis tributing the issue may be fully ap- preciated.
 | In addition, the government has undertaken to put out temporary cer- t1ficate receipts representing each subscription, which have to be print l led,i thereby adding greatly to the work to be done. These temporary receipts are already being distributed to those who desire them and have paid in full, but, owing to the fact | that they, in turn, must be surrend- cred for the original bonds when ready, not many people are anxious to be bothered with the extra trouble involved in accepting the temporary certificates, and then soon having to turn them in for the original bonds.
 In. the meantime, every one who has subscribed through the banks is holding the banks receipts for pay ment, and before the first coupon with interest is due, these receipts may be presented to the banks and the original permanent government bonds will be exchanged therefor. thus avoiding the necessity of handl- ing the governments temporary re- cipts.
 Meanwhile do not overlook the fact
 that the bonds are accommodating if- terest, which will~be payable Dec. Is,
 1917, just as though the bonds were
 actually in your possession.

A DEPENDABLE MEDICINE.

Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is a dependable root and herb medicine. It has made place for itself among the great mass of people, because thousands of sick women have tried it and proved that it will ac- comp1ish all that is claimed for it. Nothing unfavorable can honestly be said about it. It does not contain injurious drugs. It is a root and herb remedy founded upon a physi- clans prescription, and Is nanufac- tured for specific purpose. That ii accomplishes this purpose is proved by thousands and thousands of convinc- ing testimonials.-Adv.

this time, and were fascinated by the spectacle. The German was only a few hundred feet from the ground, the Britisher a little above and be- hind him. The Hun made a dizzy swoop down to what seemed a few feet of the earth, strengthened out. and flashed upwards. 7 The Britisher kept steadily on, firing all the time. We could hear his gun rattling out, and, although we could not, of course. see the bullets striking we could see the, Hun planes actually becoming tattered in front of our very eyes!
 What rtddling that chap got, and yet how he squirmed and soared and dived. All to no purpose. Suddenly one of his wings folded up, and, with a swirl, he dropped to the earth. The Britisher slid over him very low, and then, evidently satisfied, slimbed into the heavens. And, that was all.
