At the Strand.

wild Youth" well worked -out
clear cut and wholesome photo drama
that contains some good lessons and
appeals to all ages, with Louise Huff
N the leading feminine role, is the. cur
rent attraction at the Strand.
The story. which is an adaptation
from Sir Gilbert Parker's novel Of the
same name, deals with the age-old call
of youth to youth and the love OF a
young girl-wife for a neighbor, while
her husband fully old enough to be
her father. grows more and more cruel
with his increasing jealousy. Matters
seem inextricably tangled when quick
turn Of fate leaves Louise a widow.
The young lover Is accused Of the muir
der of her husband. but Ii Choo, a
Chinese servant, confesses and the two
young people are free to work out their
happiness together.
Louise Huff as Louise Mazarine, Is
at her best and gives a most pleasing
rendition OF the part Theodore Rob-
erts plays Joel Mazarine, the old hus-
hand, and it Is one Of the best and
strongest character delineations in
which he has thus far been seen. Other
players are Jack Mulhall, James Cruze
and Adele Harrington, who are good.
The preliminary features are Roscoe

',Moonshine," and the Burton Holmes
trayelog.

FOR CANNING is RAISED TO
FIFTY.
MUST BE USED SOLELY
FOR CANNING, HOWEVER
Purchasers Who Already Have Bought
Twenty five Pounds May Add That
Amount to Store--Federal Food Ad-
minstration Appeals From Pulpits
of State For Further Conservation.

Word from the state food admins
tration headquarters to the local food
administration late Saturday said that
the limit of sugar purchases for can
ing purposes had been increased from
twenty five to fifty pounds.
Fifty pounds of sugar now may be
stored by any housewife for canning
purposes only. If twenty-five pounds
have been bought already and laid
aside for the canning season, the
housewife may increase her stock on
hand by the purchase of another TWEEN
ty-fve pounds. If no sugar has been
purchased for canning purposes the
consumer may buy fifty pounds.
1t must be understood. however, that
this sugar supply to be stored in homes
is for canning purposes only. When 1t
is used up another fifty pounds may be
bought, and so on until the canning
season is over. Whatever then re-
mains of the supply purchased for
canning purposes must be returned to
the dealer from whom it was pur-
chased.

The railroad are still experiencing
considerable difficulty in getting trains
thru according to their regular sched-
ules, altho conditions are being grad
ually improved. Traffic on the Chicago
& Northwestern is now going thru the
city, both east and west, but trains
are running from a few minutes to an
| hour late.
On the NJ. & st. L. road the detour-
ing of the north bound trains over the
Chicago Great Western and c., NJ. &
st. P. roads, by way of Melbourne and
Pickering, causes a delay of about an
hour and a half in their schedules out
of this city,, The south-bound train
left this morning within a few minutes
of its regular schedule
1t was expected that train would
come thru today on the Story City
train would return to Story City today.
Soft track is causing the delay to
branch trains.
The Chicago Greaa Western is now
running close to its schedule, the north
bound train being but a few minutes
late this morning. South bound train
was an hour behind its schedule. How
ever, the trouble on the road has been
remeded, and trains are now expected

was made that the world had reached q
degree Of civilization which made Erea,
wars impossible. Mr.. Roths added that
not only had this prediction been dis.
proved by the present struggle, but thai
the world would not reach that stage Of
civilization which would rid 1T OF war
fare until the second coming Of Christ
Americas participation in the war
said Mr.. Roths, was for righteous
cause, and was supported by all re-
Vligious bodies. He assailed the con-
scientious objector, declaring the man
who sought release from military serv-
ice because of his religion had no re-
ligion at all.
The service to the nation of the boys
of ell '65 was emphasized by the speak
er, who pointed out that many OF the
boys in blue did not believe in war but
faced the duty of fighting for right
eous cause. The circumstances today
are similar, he continued, and many
boys are in service and are facing the
Huns from the trenches Of France who
do not believe in war, but who are
ready to sacrifice their lives for the
cause which they support.
Mr.. Roths spoke at length on the
heroic service of the grand army. and
of the great courage Of the women OF
the civil war during the days of trial
He paid glowing tribute to the vet
Grams, and declared his readiness to do
as they did in 1861 and take his place
in the ranks in the present struggle to
fight for a cause he believed to be
righteous.
Prior to Rev. Mr.. Roths' sermon a
flag was presented to the church by the
members of the Woman's Relief Corps
The special music arranged for the
