The Sugar Situation.

Americans some of them, have done consider
able complaining the reduction in the sugar
allowance. They have contended that the supply
allotted TO each individual was unreasonably small
and the price charged for it was unreasonably high
Statistics Just compiled by the United States food
administration show that instead OF growing they
ought to be congratuIang themselves that they have
had so much and have paid so little for it
Each individual is allowed three pounds per
month in this country and the price is 100 cents
per pound IN other country is the quantity so
great and only in Germany is the cost so low. Ger
many, being a big sugar producer. gets its supply
for 70 cents per pound but only / TO 16 pounds
is allowed each person monthly.
Next to the United States Sweden is most liberal
in its supply, allowing IS pounds per month per
person. In Norway and Holland the amount is p
pounds and in England pounds Italy has the least
seven-tenths of pound.
England is paying al cents per pound, Spain
y to % cents Austria q to 81 cents and Turkey
from s1-77 10 S5.O5-
Americans have been exceedingly fortunate in a
great many respects in escaping the hardshfps Of
war. The sugar allotment never has been low
enough TO cause any real suffering and it is probable
that such restrictions as have been imposed will be
removed here long before the lid is taken off in other
countries

Prevention of the Great Indoor
Plague,


The use of the face mask by doc
tors and nurses attending pneumo-
mia patients is now a routine sani-
tary practice, and it has proved a
great protection to the doctors and
nurses, who are quite as suscepti-
BILE TO pneumonia germs as anybody
else. The mask consists of three
folds of ordinary buttercloth or
Cheesecloth of fine thread, cut about
8 by inches, with tapes tied or
sewed to each corner, so that one
pair of tapes may be tied over the
top OF the head and the other pair
back of the neck to retain the mask
over nose and mouth.
This face mask serves TO catch
the droplets of saliva sprayed out
by patients Tor by wearer of the
mask in talking, laughing, sneez-
ing, coughing. Droplet infection is
known to be the mode of convey
ance of most respiratory infection,
including pneumonia as well as
sore throat, laryngitis, and coryZa
(head cold" as the mOllycoddles
insist on calling it,. The bacteria
suspended in the minute or invisi-
BILE dropIets retain their virulence
or poisonous vitality in the brief
flight from nose or mouth to mouth
or nose of the victim through three
or four feet of indoor air. Beyond
five feet, many experimental tests
have shown the spray does not car

President Wilson.

The armistice terms mean the utter defeat of
Germany. The associated governments are now
definitely united in their views to the peace set
tlement, The enemy countries threatened with
violent uprisings which only the common sense and

These are the cardinal points of the presidents

to be hoped. will sink deep into the mind of every
person who reads it in this and other countries:
The president and all that it holds be-
longs to the nations and the peoples who pre-
serve their self-control and the orderly pro-
cesses of their government; the future to those
who prove themselves the true friends of man
kind
Let that not be forgotten in the days that follow
victory.
This was the word necessary to be spoken at
this hour, and President Wilson was pre-eminently
the speak it. 1t has been his fortune to be
during this war the foremost spokesman of the lib
eral thought of the world Democratic England,
republican France all the free the oppressed
nations of Europe have acclaimed his words Nobly
has he acquitted himself of the great responsibilities
resting upon him the to whom the liberty

they return to civil life Not small percentage OF
the boys, it is certain, will be forced to begin all
over again. especially those who just getting
a start in business in the professions. Trustees
OF the soldiers fund would be authorized to make
small loans TO such individuals taking their notes
without security and charging interest. Of
not all of the money would be paid back
but it is believed that OF it would be returned
and at the end Of period of years when it
sidered advisable close the books the balance on
hand could be used in the erection1o some perman-
ent memorial
The St Louis idea is good one Properly ad-
ministered such fund would do great deal of
good. Men who have served in fighting forces
have sacrificed enough already. We owe it to them
to restore them far possible to the places
they held at the time they taken from private
life and sent away TO represent in the fight
the common cause.

read its expression and fastened to
say, though blushingly: The chill

Elva accompanied Paul to the
! old shed. The latter went inside,
brought out a cIammy-looking tin
canister, and going over to where a
giant tree stump was imbedded deep
in the ground placed it in among
the fibrous roots. He attached d
fuse and ran back to where EIva
was sheltered by a lean-to of the
, old shed
Now watch and see what half an
ounce OF the new explosive l have
discovered will do" he said.
His last words were obscured by
deafening report Elva thrilled,
alarmed, put her hands over her
ears and, awed, saw the great stump
go hurting up into the air, leaving
a hole in the ground, big enough
TO hold a horse and wagon.
1T must be terrible stuff" she
tremOred
Yes" replied Disney. Early
tomorrow morning l am going to
dump and explode the rest of it
near the dead water arm of the riv-
er at the ravine edge. I'm through
here and l shall have some very
pleasant memories of the friends l

1t was just at dawn the next
morning that the inmates of the

from their beds by an explosion that

THE explosion has blown away
one entire side of the ravine wall
and-look!"
He caught Elva's hand and led
her beyond line of trees In mar
Yelling wonder she stood, dumfound-
ed, and stared. The ravine wall
was gone, and pouring over it's low
est level was a torrent, almost a
waterfall of rushing sparkling wa
ter. The dry ravine had become a
waterway, a new arm of the river
had been cReated.
Property went up TWO hundred
per cent along this new water
course within a day Favorable
popular opinion regarding Paul
Disney arose unaccountably as the
people viewed him as a wi ard who
had brought to their farms what
they most needed-water.
A speculuator offered Mrs. Bis
sell fabulous sum for her little
farm. She asked Disney as to its
acceptance. for by that time he had
told Elva how he loved her and was
looked upon as "one of the family"
