SAVE A LITTLE SUGAR
TODAY.
Why Ice Your Cake7

Icing is not needed. Why not
leave it off? Putting cake on a
war basis is another way to
save sugar without hardship.
Thick frosting involves the use
OF sugar needIessly at this time.
Furthermore, many recipes call
for excessive amounts of sugar.
Try smaller quantities in your
cake recipes, etc. and give pref
erence to cakes which are sweet
ened with molassas or strip.
HousekeepeTs who have a stock
of canned fruit, je!lies, and pre-
serves in their cupboard can
lessen the sugar consumption by
using more of such things for
desserts.

BE A GOOD SOLDIER.

The rulings Of the federal food ad-
ministration may appeal to some Of us
as peculiar and unnecessary. Without
doubt the ruling that but two pounds of
sugar may be sold at one time to
townspeople and but five to farmers
will be so considered by great many,
but the rule is the rule and as good
soldiers we should live up to our orders.
Not only in the letter but in the spirit
should we conform to the orders regu-
lating sale and purchase Of licensed
commodities.
The conservation Of food is as much
the duty Of those at home as the duty
of a soldier under arms Is to obey IN
questionably and without protest or at
tempt at evasion.
is as guilty as the enlisted man who
sleeps on his post or evades or refuses
his duty. The soldier Is punished for
his derelictions The food Stacker
should be and shall be punished. An
order Is an order.
Let's quit querulous complaint and
idle protest. Above all let those who
have desired and attempted to evade
the rule fall in with the great army
of food savers and be good soldiers at
home Those who refuse are due to
sup sorrow, but in America there
should be no need of threats of punish
ment to bring all citizens into line upon
any question which has important
bearing on winning the war.
Don't knock, boost Don't think
selfshy, but periodically. Be a good
soldier.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER DOCT0R7

DR.. Bevans, newly elected presi dent
OF the American Medical Society anu
eminent as an authority among the
eminent medical men Of the globe
pleaded with 1000 members Of his as
ISOLATION to go home and fight intoxf-
eating liquors. The doctor urged them
to put their strength to the prohibition
movement. That is what it amounted
OF.
Medical mon are practically a unit
in professionally condemn1ng the use
Of intoXicants as a beverage. But the
practicing physician, so far and for
the most part has confined himself to
advice given professionally. Most Of
them have avoided open fight upon
liquor as advocating prohibition. The
average doctor avoids fights and at
tends to his practice.
But there Is a duty Of citizenship
bility unacceptable except by evasion
of full citizenship. Surely that re-
sponsibihty rests upon the profession
al man as upon others. He who knows
and professionally proclaims booze to
be a poison and its continued use to
be suicide ought to oppose actively it's
sale and manufacture excet as to it's
purely medicinal uses as the opposes
indiscriminate sale OF opium and other
poisons slow or swift. His very knowl-
edge Of effects forces that conclu-
sion.
1t would greatly hasten the complete
abolition Of that poisonous and degen-
erative traffic and habit If the 1000
physicians of the great medical asso-
ciat ion shall listen to Dr.. Bevan's ad
vice and act upon It:
Where does professional privilege
cease and responsibility of citizen
ship begin?
That is the question the medical
man must ask himself and make an

into the war; President Poincare's
speech upon the presentation of honors
to French soldiers; ex-Premier AS
quith's declaration Of the righteous in
dignation that sent England into the
war; D'Annunzio's fine tribute to
America, "the beacon light" They
spoke with an ardor and sincerity that
showed the boys and girls understood
and approved these great utterances.
There was just one speaker who gave
his own address. Only four years ago
he came to America from Germany,
seeking an education and freedom from
militarism. With simple straightfor-
wardness and sincerity not to be
doubted, he expressed his appreciation
Of what America is and stands for to
seekers like himself. He contrasted
the conditions in Germany from which
he had fed with the freedom and OPP
portunity that have come to him here.
And he closed his speech with the
words, $50, you see, aitho I was born
in Germany. am happy and proud
that am being made in America"

THE GENERAL BUSINESS FIELD.

That the centering Of energies in the
vigorous prosecution of the war implies
still tighter restrictions on ordinary
operations there has been clear recog-
milton, and scarcely a week passes
without the development of some action
having a large bearing on the future
course Of business. The movement to-
ward more complete concentration Of
the nations producing forces on work
of the most essential character pro-
crosses steadily and about all Of the
leading Industries and trades are COM
ing under virtual federal supervision,
not only as to the regulation Of outputs
and the apportionment Of supplies for
strictly civilian uses, but also with re-
spect to the costs of commodities going
into regular consumption channels.
While some important articles have
not yet been brought definitely within
the scope of the price fixing program,
and tho Dun's list Of wholesale quota
tons this week again discloses more
advances than recessions, there has
been distinct hating Of the upward
trend of various markets and any gen.
eral and lasting check to the rising
prices would react favorably on final
distribution. That the constant wage
increases, 10 per cent additional this
| week at some New England textile
centers, tend to enhance the purchas-
| ing power is obvious, but the practice
| of economy has become rather wide
spread and the volume of retail deal
ings will in time be limited by the
lessening of the variety and quantity
Of merchandise available in commercial
lines. Yet with crop prospects con-
| tinuing excellent thru still another
week, and with most financial obliga-
tions being met promptly, there is a
large measure of confidence in business
circles.
The value Of building permits issued
at leading centers discloses continued
sharp contraction from the 1917 figures
and the difference is really more
marked than appears on the surface, as
prices of most materials are higher now
than a year previous. The May total
of permits granted at 100 cities, about
$45,595. 900, is 1877 per cent less thar
the :s5,70e,00G odd Of May, 1917, and
declines still predominate. aIthQ specia
