to any one in this city, although it
developes now that an account of the
wedding appeared in a Washington

of the wedding, although no reason
for the secrecy is known here.

the first Plattsburg Camp and then
assigned to the End Cavalry at Fort

LIVER AND BACON
The Federal Food Administration
Says They Cannot be Served
Together

Montpelier, Oct. 28-Under the
new regulations governing hotels,
restaurants, and other public eating
houses which require that not more
than one kind of meat shall be serv-
ed d customer at a meal, Federal
Food Administrator Frank H.
Brooks has handed down a decision
in the famous liver and bacon con-
trovcrsy, decreeing that a separation
must be made between these two
we'll known companions. In other
words, liver and bacon cannot be
served together. Decision was al
so requested as to bacon and eggs
and ham and eggs and Mr.. Brooks
rules that they may be served in
combination. Similar rulings have
been made in other states.
1t appears that owing to mis-
leading headline in Boston paper,
some Vcrmonters have the impress
sion that in Massachusetts two
pounds of sugar per person may be
purchased each week. Administrator
Brooks said today that such an i'm
preston is wrong, that the sugar Ii
imitation to two pounds month is in
force all over the country and that all
other Americans are under the same
limitation as Vermonters.
That there may be no misunder-
standing, Mr.. Brooks again emphasiz-
ed that no crackers or bread ano
butter could be served in public eat
ing houses unless especially ordered
by the customer.

CATCHING FROGS IN
THE JERSEY FLATS
Boys Earn Much Money and Have
Some Sport

Along the Morris and Essex Canal,
Somewhere in New Jersey" the boys
have found a way to earn their guns
and fish-pcles without doing much
work, or spending any money to make
the amount needed. They catch
frogs and sell the hind legs in the
Paterson r'arkets, getting from forty
to eighty cents pound for them.
Sort of hard on the frogs, but the
natives" claim they can sleep now,
even if the mosquitoes are a bit
worse.
The methods Of getting the frogs
vary with the boy, writes Gayne T. K.
Norton, in the American Forestry
Magazine of Washington. Some,
the prosperous ones, who have been
in the bus inesS more than a single
season, use 22 caliber rife, shooting
B. B. caps; others, less fortunate, use
the time honored -pin-and-red
flannel system. Some prefer a canoe
paddle, while a few are partial to the
beap-shooter.
The youngsters old enough to be
"allowed out after dark" get "the big
croakers" the prize; lantern or cleo
trio fashlight with a forked stick is
the best in this case. Or course, they
are barefooted and once in a while
it happers that a swamp black snake
gets in the way of the stick, but
money-mad boys don't mind a little
thing like this. If stray coon OF
'possum happens along he is also bag
gcd and the night is doubly profita-
bic
The "day workers" do not get q
chance at the coon and 'possum, but
they even things up by snaring ar
