very likely we ought TO write il Mrs.

the legal papers by which the nomen-
clature Of the pair was established give
the precedence to the bridegroom.
Anyhow. tac point is plain enough.
Here is a l.EinS example of the ulti-

own names, after marriage, including
the dubious title Miss" But when the

MUST CANDY BE RATIONEDs

In "A recent statement made by the
food administrator I'm II general warning
uf "A coming sugar shortage in the
EASTERN and southern states. he says:
Unless We can secure n wider and i'm.
mediate reduction Of the sugar con.
sumption in candy, ice cream and sweet
drinks, it will be necessary next year to
curtail the supplies to these industries,
as has been done all over Europe"
Mr.. Hoover isn't suggesting that all
use OF candy be stopped At once. He
has no intention or desire to do away
with the candy industry. That would
be unfair and unwise. He simply wants
the people OF the country TO realize
tho importance of going easy" for a
while in the consumption OF sugar.
AZ a nation we have always used
more sugar than we needed. We are
intemperate in our use Of candy, a
perfectly good food but menace TO
health when indulged in beyond Ger.
tain limits.
Not long ago when Mr.. Hoover first
asked us to save sugar he asked us TO
reduce our usual consumption by only
one-thiro-not counting sugar needed
for canning. There has been some re.
sponse TO this request. But not nearly
enough families have taken the matter
seriously. There's still time to do it
Voluntarily, before the government has

Bonds. saving sugar will be for your
own good quite as much as for any

MONEY COST or WAR.

Kansas City Journai: For nearly

I'm all history has been going on, and
the mounting costs of military opera.
tions among the nations involved are
such that human Imagination cannot
grasp them. There is something fan
tastic about the statistics OF this war,
because there are no standards of com.
parison adequate to express the finan'
cial outlay. The human mind has not
been trained TO think in terms of the
values upon which military calculations
are made. We know. for instance. that
the money already expended by the ma
tions involved for purely war purposes
amounts to more than n hundred thou
sand million dollars and that each
month it costs five thousand millions
more When the war started 1t cost
about 10000. 900 a day. Now il is
costing Sl60,00o, 900 a day. Based upon
administrative statements. the present
rate of expenditure by the United States
is higher than that of any other ma
ton engaged. Every day the direct
military cost 10 us Is S29 100000 and
in addition loans TO our allies are at a
rate that makes the total daily war
cost for the United States more than
$40. 600, 900. Great Britain has a daily
war cost of sS9OO0.OO0. Germany is
spending about 100000 900 day and
France about s21 ,0O0,0 900.
The total daily expenses of all the
entente allies are about s1i5.000,000
as compared with Si3000000 for the
central powers. The difference is large

tions confronting the two groups, 10y
the need of spending vast sums for
naval operations, by the higher pay in

ture and transportation. The war is
costing an average of SO n day for each
soldier enlisted. Great Britain has the
heaviest individual burden, for the war
is costing her a little more than "a
cents day for each inhabitant. 1t
costs France so cents, Germany 40 cents
and the United States 2S cents. The
daily income per capita in Great Brit
