U. s. PLANE, MYSTERIOUSLY
HURT IN CLOUDS, FALLS
KILLING TWO MEN.

With the American Army in
France, May 15.-Falling through
the clouds an American airplane
crashed to earth two kilOmeters
behind the American lines in the
Toul sector late this afternoon,
killing both the pilot and the OBJ
server.
One Of three things is believed
to have happened. An enemy
aviator hidden in the clouds sur
prised the machine, a stray piece
from a German anti-air craft shell
hit it or an accident caused it to
collapse.
The machine was seen flying
over the lines and anti-craft shells
were bursting around it. Sud-
denly it swerved upward and dis
in a feecy cloud. The
next thing observers on the
ground saw was the plane as IT
was hurting down through the
cloud bank toward the ground.

DISGRACEFUL TO HAVE A
HOME WITHOUT SAM
TARY OUT-BUILDINGS.

On every farm where there are
not now suitable sanitary out
buildings. the men should make
haste to build these before the
period Of cold, rainy weather sets
in. Few people understand (I
how important regular habits are
in promoting good health, and (2)
how important it is to have sani-
tary outbuildings in order to Sc
cure regular habits. Recently a
careful health survey was made
of 1872 homes in Wilson County,
N. c., with these results as re-
ported by DR.. B. E. Washburn:
"Of the Sc homes with privies,
only 8 of the women or 9.3 per
cent gave histories of chronic con-
stipation, while Of the LOG homes
without privies Of any kind, 81
of the women or "a per cent gave
definite histories of chronic con-
stipation. In other words. con-
stipation was more than five
times as prevalent in homes with
out privies.
And this is easily explained
In homes without privies, it is
often difficult, or even impossible,
for the women and children 10

RED CROSS CAMP SERVICE
GREAT BOON TO SOL
DIERS.

Camp service Of the Red Cross
is one of the many phases of that
organizations activities. This
service renders aid and performs
such work as the distribution of
sweaters. helmets, muffiers socks,
kits, etc. at training camps. can
tonments and naval stations. Red
Cross visit hospitals at camps,
environments and naval bases
rendering such comfort and as
slstance as is possible to the sick
soldier.
By authority of the Secretary
of War. the Red Cross is erecting
convalescent houses at these
camps which will have sun par
lors and in some eases sleeping
accommodations for relatives Of
any soldier who may be seriously
i'll.
The department of Civilian Re-
lief maintains at each camp one
or more representatives who al
ways are at the service of the sol
diers. The prime function of
these men is to help relieve any
anxiety soldier may have about
the welfare Of his folks at homo.
If he requests it the Home Service
Section in his home town will
personally look after them quiet
ly and unobtrusively, and give in
a neighborly and friendly way,
all the aid it can.
And still the Red Cross is ask
ing for only hundred million in
its appeal for war funds. Size is
relative. Compared with the bill
lions being spent to make war,
the amount asked to heal its
is very small.

which contain a high percentage
Of fats, moisture or the outer

for the storing of these fours and
meals are given:

2. See that fours and meals
are in good condition when pur-
chased.
3. Keep in cool dry place.
(a) Use tins or covered jars
for containers, scalded and per-

(b) It is well to use two COW

fish concerns have had ample time

Food Administration has broad
ened the scope Of the business,
even overriding some Of the con-
servation measures in the states
bordering the oceans and Gulf, so
as t. make it easier to procure an
ample supply. In that way it is
also hoped TO make the food
cheaper. John M. Parker, Food
Administrator for Louisiana, will
call a meeting Of the fish interests
in this State at very early date,
and anticipates that he will be
able to secure the cooperation
which will insure more fish at
lower prices to the consumer.

1T will supervise and regulate thu
distribution of sugar among thu
different industries which utilize
that commodity.
Ordinarily there would be
plenty of sugar in the country
for the United States has a large
quantity in storage in Cuba,
enough to turn loose 100000 tons
a month. Though Cub is not far
away the ships cannot be spared
from the duty and the danger of
carrying men, munitions, meat,
-four and other food through the
submarine zones to the lines that
arc holding Hindenburg and the
'uns. So there is a possibility
O shortage. and the United
\ STATE Food Administration
deemed It wise to take precau-
~ioas. Re ~ulation of distribution
and the sugar division are the
outcome.
The plan is to hold sugar users
to about 80 per cent of their nor
nal consumption or the quantity
used last year. Non-essential
products will be barred altogeth-
er, and the establishment of new
Industries requiring sugar will
not be encouraged. There will
not be any concession to the max
ers Of soft drings who felt them
selves entitled to some considera-
ton because Of the demand for
notwithstanding beverages for
the fifty thousand soldiers who
are being trained at the various
camps located in Louisiana. The
Government however. has decided
that the fighters will be content
with cool water until the sugar
supply is surer. and the bottlers
will be restricted. The Ice cream
producers will fare better. their
commodity being classed as
among the best Of summer foods,
besides utilizing milk which is
food which the Food Administra-
ton is particularly boosting.

siderable ice. Ice is chatting at
