SUGAR SHORTAGE
DISGUISED BLESSING
TORACE, SAYS BLUE

In a statement to The Times today,
Surgeon General Rupert Blue, OF tne
Public Health Service Bureau, de-
clared the reduced consumption OF
sugar imposed upon the people by
the war situation is a blessing in dis
guise-
"SQme people seem TO be under the
impression that they are deprivlng
themselves Of a Strengthening food
when they are asked to cut down
their consumption Of sugar or CANDY.
That is incorrect. All starchy matter
eaten is converted into sugar before
Il Is absorbed by the system.
"Dr. c. z. A. Winslow, curator OF
the department of public health OF
the American Museum OF National
History, of New York. size: up the
situation correctly when he says
that the sugar shortage is a blessing

WOOD ASSAtS
CRAY'S RECORD At
CAMBRIDGE CRY
Congressman Says Demo-
cratic Nominee Was Loud
est in Anti-Preparedness.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind. June I'll
The record Of Finly H. Gray. Demo
cratic nominee for representative in
Congress from the Sixth district, when
he was member of the House. was
presented to voters of Cambridge City
last night by Representative Will r.
Wood OF the Tenth Indiana district.
-"I want to refute the theory OF the
Democrats said Wood, that men
must be sent to Congress to support
President Wilson. When Gray was IN
Congress he was not in sympathy with
conditions now existing. He voted
against every increase In the army and
navy. The unprepared predicament OF
the nation today is due to the attitude
Of the Democrats on preparedness.
Gray was the loudest in decrying army
increases. He voted against every IN.
crease in the army and against every
measure that would have pDovided In
creased equipment for our army ana
ravy. Va
Favored Underwood Bill.
Gray also favored and voted for the
Underwood bill, causing a deficiency
in the Federal treasury that necessi.
tated the passing of the war tax bill
Of 500, 900, 900.
IF the administration had depended
on Democratic votes for the passage OF
any war measure it would not have
been enacted by the special session OF
Congress. Every one would have been
defeated Seventeen more Republic
ans than Democrats voted for the con.
scription bill. The army bill was put
through the House by the leadership OF
the Republicans when the majority on
the Democratic committee, including
the chairman, fought it.
"The Democrats have utterly failed
TO take steps to prepare for the eco
rcmic and commercial war that will
follow the declaration of peace. Every
belligerent is making preparations for
the re-establishment of it's commercial
standing touching the United States.
The main object of England in asking
for wooden ships instead of steel Is be-
cause she knows wooden ships are
worthless and that after the war we
would have no steel ships for.our over
seas trade.
Japan's Game.
When England asked japan to send
ships to rid the seas Of submarines.
japan refused but agreed to supply the
British trade on the Pacific Ocean.
thus releasing British ships to work
against submarines, Japan's purpose
being to save her carrying ships ard
to entrench herself for the trade re-
vival that will follow the war.
Neither have the Democrats taken
steps to provide against conditions
that will follow when the millions Of
men now engaged in fighting resume
their vocations and business becomes
normal"
Representative Wood said that the
nation must send Republicans to the
House to assure the nation of a wise
craftsmanship when peace is restored.

What Women in Their
"FortieS" Need,

MANY woman approach the critical
changing period of their lives that
comes between the ages OF forty and
fifty. unmindful of its tremendous I'M
portance to their future health and
happiness. Not understanding the
functional changes taking place in
their bodies, they work beyond their
strength. often break down, become
nervous wrecks, their bodies suffering
with fatigue and their weakened
nerves trembling at every step. OFTEN
in their weakened condition capillary
hemorrhage becomes excessive, this
added drain compelling them to take
to their beds from nervous exhaustion.
What these women need is some
thing that will instantly relieve the
pressure on the overworked nerve
centers and give them the vitality to
stand up under the grueling strain.
Wonderfully effective results are
given in such conditions by the simple
use of MARCO Nerve Tablets. skillful
combination of seven of the best nerve
vftalizing elements known to modern
chemistry. These little tablets con-
tain no dangerous habit-forming
drugs and are entirely harmless in
their action but they quickly build up
and strengthen the entire nervous sys-
tenn by feeding directly to the tired de-
vitalized nerve cells, in artificial form,
the very necessary elements OF which
nature is depriving them.
Thousands of women can testify that
Mango Nerve Tablets strengthen the
faded nerves, revive the tired brain
and put the energy and courage into
your body that enables you to stand up
under the unusual strain Of the chang
ing period. Mango has to do these
things or it costs you nothing as
