Must Return Sugar.

Sugar which housewives bought for
canning and which has not been used
for that purpose must be turned back
into trade channels at once, according
to an order issued by A. D. Wilson,
state food administrator. The sugar
cannot be used to augment the regular
table supply Of two pounds per capita
a month.
The county food administrator must
be notified upon return Of the sugar
so that his records may be corrected,
the order states. Every family having
excess sugar bought originally for
canning must comply with this and
get a receipt at. the store, which must
be delivered to the county food adj
ministrator.
No allotment for canning sugar will
be made this month, but if it isneeded
it may be obtained on the September
canning certificate on being approved
by the local food administrator.
Powdered sugar is soon to dissap-
pear from American homes, following
an order which became effective De-
tober 10 that says definitely that it
may not be sold except for CONNER
cial manufacturing and commercial
baking. The sale for domestic con
sumption and to retailers for distribu-
ton among home consumers is forbid
den.
Wholesalers and retailers may dis
pose Of stocks on hand by permission
from the sugar administrators on SUBJ
uniting a written statement that the
stocks were purchased in good faith
and that no more will be purchased
by the dealer other than in accord
ance with regulations. (

Allied Armies Are Marching On.

Hts38
Allied Armies Are Marching On.
The war goes merrily on and the
Huns are retreating in disorder at
numerous points. They are scurrying
out of Belgium with all possible speed
and are terrified by the prospect Of
utter destruction and the battering
down Of their own cities across the
Rhine, They now realize that they
tarried too long in evacuating the
stolen territory which they have de-
vastated
Foch's armies are marching on with
renewed vigor and determination in
consequence of Americas demand for
unconditional surrender, and although
confronted with stiff resistance at
some points, are overcoming all OBJ
stacles. s1
Lille has been entered by the Brit
ish and Belgium cavalry has reached
a point near the important railway
center Of Tidelt.
Having wiped out the greater part
of the Laon-LaFere salient, French
and Italian troops are moving along
the line from the Aise to the Disc
with but little Of no resistance.
American troops have captured the
commanding heights Of st. Juvin and
taken many prisoners, while they have
made substantial gains on both sides
Of the Meuse with heavy losses to the
enemy. Pershing's men are doing
splendid work north Of Verdun and
enemy opposition is melting away.
Austria Hungary and Turkey ap-
pear to be in a quandary they seem
to be undecided whether to continue
fighting or lay down their arms. They
will continue to be hammered, how
ever, until they either surrender I'M
conditionally or are wiped from the
face of the earth.

IS LATEST SLOGAN
Buck Up and Do Your Bit In
War SAVINGS Stamps.

Here is the latest slogan-"Tm
thru-enza".
1t is said TO be an 'insidious war
is over feeling, very Weakening for
full personal share in cleaning up
the job of making the world free"
It's temporary help is to be done in
Subscribing for ones full number of
War Savings pledges before the first
Of the year-its permanent cure is
in making the year 1918 a year of
thankful thrift.
According to a number who are
suffering with "I'm-thru-enza" one
has a feeling that he has done all
that has been required of him by
subscribing to all war work as it
came along-just as long as the war
was in progress, but that the NOM
ent peace was declared his RESPONSE
bility was gone and he needed to do
no more. He is the man who forgot
that our boys have not yet returned
home, that there are millions OF
dollars still to be paid for ammuni-
tons and guns and that the people
Of this country must raise the mon.
ey to do it. He forgets that all of our
boys must be taken care of until
they are all at work again--that a
responsibility rests on the people of
this country until all business is on
a par basis.
Dramatically opposed to the man
suffering with "I'm-thru-enza" trou-
bic is the man who is in to stay-the
man who knows that his response
bility is and just how important it is
that he meet that responsibility. He
is still buying Thrift and War Saw
ings Stamps and he has fulfilled all
of his pledges to the government
Now, he is buying the Stamps for
New Years gifts.
He is a real American" says Rob-
ert L. Archer, state director of War
Savings. "He is the man the govern
ment depends on"

ITALY'S Loss NEAR
Three MILLION MARK
500, 900 Killed and Large Num-
Der Die of Disease.

ltaly'ss losses killed and wounded,
dead Of disease, disabled, missing
and prisoners aggregate 100000, ac-
cording to Colonel Ugo Pizzarello, of
the Italian army who arrived here
recently on a mission for his govern
ment. s
He gave; out figures simplifying an
announcement made in Paris last
Saturday by Salvatore Barzilar, a
former member of the Italian cabi-
net, that Italy had lost 100000 killed
or dead of wounds in the war.
"As Italy's effort and losses are
so much bigger than those previous
ly mentioned said Colonel Pizzarel-
10 I'VE feel justified in thinking that
the public should know the exact fig.
ures of the total losses it suffered so
as to give the American public opin-
ion complete knowledge Of the great
Fart Italy played in the struggle for
Justice"
Disease alone took death toll OF
3oo,000 men in the war zone, he
said. while the number of killed was
100000 and the wounded, missing
and prisoners 100000.

HOOVER'S APPEAL
TO WIVES REPEATED
Lies In Their Power To Keep
Wolf From Door.

"The food supplies of the world
have been steadily lessenng. 1t is
the impact of this shortage which
has knocked at every door in the
United States.
I'VE hold it in our power, and ours
alone to keep the wolf from the
door CT the world. This duty is wild
er than war-it is as wide as our
humanity"
This humanitarian appeal, made
more than a year and half ago By
Herbert Hoover holds good for the
present and prospective gigantic task
of world relief.
American soldiers and American
resources in food and materials of
war have helped to win the war. Our
men and our resources are still mob
ilized. The women, who are the
guardians of our food resources, must
remain until they are mustered out.
The new programme in conservation
calls for much more rigid accept
ance and discipline, because it does
not demand brief, dramatic sacM-
fees, but a steady unvarying saving
of all foods and the giving up of ev-
erything beyond our define needs.
Every woman is called to serve in
the work of world relief.
