babies in investigated homes proved so
successful that it has been adopted by
practically every up-to-datc child-caring

you would hardly know the East
Side these days. The red flag
waves no more, and as for the
soapboxes, scarcely one is polluted by
the human foot.
And it seems to be due to the suf-
fragists-or rather to the women: the
wives, mothers, sisters, and friends of
the boys in France. At the recent cleo
ton they proved that there is nothing
in the old aging that paciism and suf-
frage run t. ether, for the woman vote
completely swept the Socialists from Of,
flee.
Since November 5 the eight candi-
dates who We're running for Office on
the Socialist ticket. are no more-po-
litcally speaking, at least; and where
the red flag used to wave you can see
nothing now but the Stars and Stripes,
miles and miles of them, some hand
made by the same fingers that sew the
buttons in the clothing factories.
In other words, the women are unre-
servedly American, in spite of the TWEEN
ty-two languages that are spoken south
of Fourteenth Street Many of them
wear shaWls on their heads instead Of
hats, and they are not above swaddling
but they do know just what they think
about "Count William Hohenzollern" and
about any group of men-Socialists or
othewise-who strive to undermine the
principles Of American government.

These people swept in from Europe and
from all parts of America, and there
was scarcely day that you could not

eK cry.
"Poor little thing,
don't suppose wei ever get any one
to take her," said the supervisor OF
the Boarding Out Department OF the
New York Nursery and Child's hos
pital. The baby had been sent there
few weeks before, nameless waif,
whose ailing young mother had died H.
giving her birth. Weeks Of careful nur-
ture and scientific feeding had done
little moro than keep the breath of
life in the fragile body, and could do
no more; for the crying need Of this
colorless little human flower was the
sunshine of mother love, and this the
institution, though one Of the finest and
most completely equipped in the coun-
try, could not provide.

Miss H., supervisor of the Boarding
Out Department, looked at the baby
again and sighed. Just then the tele-

when she came in to apply for a child.
She was a young woman, vigorous and
healthy, with an expression Of great
sweetness, and clear dark eyes with
light in them like the dancing Of SUM-
light in shadowy brook.
Her own baby had died, she explained
in broken English, her eyes trimming
with tears, and she wanted another.
Through an interpreter Miss H. learned
that the woman had a really intelligent
knowledge of the care of babies, so she
decided to give her trial.

as she reached her office, "I'm afraid we

and rang bell for messenger.

FOOD PROFITEERS AND
VIOLATORS PAY PENALTY

Upon report by government in
spectors, F. B. Ives company of Osh-
kosh were brought before the Enforce
ment Division of the u. S. Food Ad-
ministration for Wisconsin on q
charge of profiteering.
At the hearing il was emphasized
that the firm have shown a careless
attitude toward food regulations, have
not kept themselves informed of the
rules and have made overcharges on
various articles.
By the order of Herbert Hoover on
December II, their license is to be sus-
pended for 3 weeks from December 10
to January 6 upon all licensed articles.
Permission is given to them, however,
to NIL outstanding contracts I'D TO and
including December 16 and to dispose
Of any and all perishabie goods which
they have on hand.
The Betsy Ross company of Chica-
go, III, were brought before the En-
forcenent Division of the u. S. Food
Administration for Wisconsin for ship
ping sugar out of their own state 20
their branch store at Sheboygan. As
there was no sugar obtained by the
company from the Wisconsin sugar
division and as the company in Chi
cago was before the Illinois Food Ad-
ministration for violation of a food
regulation, the case was turned over
to the Illinois Enforcement Division
Tor them to handle both iufractinas.

DEALERS MAY GO BELOW
PRICES ON PRICE LISTS

Under the present market condi-
tions, prices on some commodities are
on the decline, and in order that mer-
chants may deal with competition,
permission has been granted them
from Washington to sell their staples
below the low prices published in the
Fair Price Lists.
Prices may so as low as the mer-
chants may wish, but if they go above
the high prices on the Fair Price
Lists, penalization will follow. Revo-
cation of license is the popular punish
ment for profiteering, and the En-
forcement Division of the Food Ad-
ministration expects to apply it to all
firms charging excessive prices during
the coming year.
The wholesale prices of all of the
staples have been kept from soaring
by the efforts of the Food Administra-
ton during the past year, and seven of
them, including potatoes, flour and
sugar have actually declined in price.

COMMEND STATE
SUGAR DIVISION
Americans Save 775,000 Tons of
Sugar During July, August,
September, October and
November.

The sugar division of the U. S.
Food Administration for Wisconsin
were praised in a letter written by
Charles Hatfield of the United States
Food Administration to Magnus Sven
son, Food Administrator for Wiscon-
sin, for their efficient service in ad-
ministering the sugar orders. The
total savings in Wisconsin are not yet
known, but the total amount con-
served by the American people during
July, August, September, October, and
November is 775,000 tons. This in
cludes the sugar conserved by the re-
strictiOns placed on confectionery and
soft drink products.
The object of the Food Administra-
ton In asking for economy during
those months was to ensure a supply
of sugar that would be adequate to
meet the needs of the Allies who
would have to depend on the same
sources as the United States as long
as the war lasted. 1t was necessary
to take precautions to have GER
tainty of sufficient sugar throughout
the year.
With the signing of the armistice,
the situation was Immediately
changed, and the Food Administration
removed the restrictions as soon
afterwards as possible. The Cuban
crop, the large surplus of western
beet sugar and Louisiana cane make
1t possible for us to return to our
normal use of sugar.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Copyright, 1918, by Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate,)
Hazel Defrey was seated in a quiet,
secluded nook on the border of tiny
lake. She was thinking. "Oh!" she
said, half to herself and half aloud, "if
was only like other girls. If 1 wasn't
so Old-fashiOned. But what's the use
of wishing. Mother has brought Inc
up this way and l wouldn't change
no not for the world. Mother is a
dear, and she has been such ii pal to
me-"
Notwithstanding what she had said,
there was Il very PARKWAY look in Ha-
zel's eyes as she watched the bright
cOlOred canoes glide gracefully across
the lake, which could have been trans
lated into this: mo, I'm not satisfied
with this life, for like to have a good
time once in while like the other
girls"
Ever since Hazel could remember,
she had been carefully protected by
owing mother who had been very strict
with her-but any little fairy could
have told you that 1T had not spoiled
her in the least.
She was very sweet to look upon
even if her dresses were not made ac-
cording to the fashion plates in the
latest magaZines-even if her hair was
dressed so very, very plainly. She
had heavenly blue eyes and a very
delicate profile.
This was the first time that she had
really been dissatisfied with her lot.
"Why, just think" she unused, there
is Ethel Thorne.
"She always has plenty of attention
from young men-they take her to
every entertainment and dance; and,
newly, / was never even asked to
go anywhere by a man-no, not once
in all my nineteen years-perhaps they
know that mother wouldn't let me,
anyway" Then to console herself she
said: "Well, 1 wouldn't want to 90
with the class of men that she does,
anyhow"
She had been so busy turning over
the question in her mind-lOOking at
it from every point of view-that she
had not noticed the passage Of time.
The sun had set, and the evening shad-
ows were gathering fast. She jumped
to her feet bewildered. "Oh! :" she said
aloud, "what would mother ever say
if she knew / had to walk home alone
at this time Of evening? If l only had
a canoe. It's so much nearer to the
cottage that way" AS if in answer to
her wish canoe glided up to the bank,
and very nice looking young man
said politely: Pardon me, miss. but
didn't just Overhear you say that you
would like to go across the lake in a
canoe? I'd be delighted to take you
over" Hazel was very confused, but
managed to stammer: "Oh! If yOu-u
only would I c-could n-n-ever thank
y-yOu enough" 1t seemed TO the girl
seated in the bottom of the canoe boil
stored by numberless pillows, to be the
most wonderful trip she had ever
taken. She glanced up at her silent
companion quite often.
She could not help admiring his won
derful physique and open, manly face.
He was so different from the young
men she had known.
The ride was over all too soon. AS

The Circle of Divine Love.

Christmas reverseS creation. One
gave us man in the image of God,
while the other gave US God in the
image OF man. The two complete the
circle of divine love. That the gods
should come down in the likeness of
man was long recognized as a uni
yersal possibility. And yet Christ
mas stands alone. 1t has no coun-
terpart in all the recorded NANTES
tationS of deity. The story is natural
when one recalls of whom it was
written. That man like Jesus should
have entered the world by a special
door is not strange. He was different
from all others. The wine press of his
life no one could tread but himself.
That night belongs TO no calendar
The very stars wore their brightest
faces, when from before the depths
of space God drew aside his curtains
Of richest blue. Jesus did not come
