he told the parents OF the boys re-

names off the police court records.
The scene of their activities is to be
given special attention this fall and

ABSTINENCE
KEOKUK CLUB?
The Latest Thing In War Work Is a
Club Pledged to Total Alb
stInence From Sugar
Here.

Will a considerable number Of
Keokuk people form total absti-
nence from sugar club?
That is the last question put up to
y. F. Elder. food administrator for
Lee county, by the state administra-
tor.
The idea is to have lot of people
pledge themselves to not use any
sugar In either coffee or tea until
notified that saving of sugar is no
longer necessary. It is not expected
that no sugar be used by the club
members in food cooked or prepared
for the table.
The total abstinence from wheat
clubs were a great success In Iowa
and contributed materially to the
saving of wheat at vital time last
spring.
Total abstinence from sugar clubs
are now in vogue.
Every class in Our Lady of Angels
school at Clinton has voluntarily
pledged its members to use sugar In
neither tea or coffee until after the
war.
The action was taken as the re-
suit of an address at Clinton by Miss
Ada x. Cannon, u Davenport. She
told the girls Of the academy about
the Belgian orphans: urged the girls
to make sacrifices and do something
worth while for the winning of the
war, and to devote all the spare time
possible to war work.
After the talk the members Of the
different classes went to the sister
superior and pledged themselves to
do without sugar in their tea or cof-
fee until after the war Some of
the classes have given up candy,
and will use all their spare money
to buy Liberty bonds.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-To what ex-
tent the crumbling Hapsburg empire
is prepared to resist on its OWE soil
before accepting the demands of the
democratic nations for unconditional
surrender, will be made known with
in few days.
The withdrawal of the Austro-Hun-
garian armies from all occupied ter
ritory which has been ordered by the
Vienna government should permit the
dual monarchy to form its lines
afresh along it's own frontier by the
first of next week, if the high army
command follows the frantic direc-
tons of the civilian rulers.
Thereafter what is left Of Austro-
Hungary will have definitely aban-
doned all thought of conquest and IL
ii continues the war will be fighting
solely against terms Of unconditional
surrender.
The ability of the Hapsburg armies
to prolong the struggle even for self
defese Is highly doubtful The dis
integrating forces now at work with
in the empire have already made self
preservation impossible. Although
Austro-Hungary continues to be
thought of as one country 1t Is very
doubtful whether at this moment the
authorities at Vienna are the defacto
government of the Hapsburg empire
or indeed whether a Hapsburg en-
pire now exists in anything but name.
These matters will become clearer
when the troops of the dual monar-
chy are behind their own boundary
after abandoning Poland, Serbia and
Italy. If strong defensive fight can
still be made under the Hapsburg
banner the war in southern Europe
will have to be carried well into the
enemy's territory.
But If loyalty to the imperial house
has vanished with the defeat of the
imperial armies 1t will not be pos
sible for Karl to inspire his troops
to continue the struggle for a van
ished sovereignty. In that event No
vember should see Austro-Hungary
out of the war and Germany isolated
against the world.

The old witch had changed herself into
n witch again that she might use her
power to find the child, but when she
looked for the broomstick it was gone,
and She was powcrlcss to return to her
cave without It.
When the witch saw the black cat on

happened, and that her wrong-doing had
brought her grief, for she knew her child
had drunk from the bottle that held the
magic fluid that changed a mortal into

There was but one way 10 save her
and that was To take her home with her

would change her back 10 her own shape.
