SAVE A LITTLE SUGAR TO-
DAY.
Candy at Meal Time Only.

Candy at Meal Time Only,
Candy Is concentrated food,
and should be eaten with moder-
alton. Though we like it, it is
not 4 necessity. 1t is always
best to cat candy rs a part of
the meal to replace some other
food. Eating it between meals
not only means needless use Of
sugar, but often causes a loss
of appetite FOR other foods. Ap-
ply this suggestion to the chill
dren. If they are to eat candy
it should be part of the meal.
Between meals let them have
bread and butter, cracker, or
fruit.

Four weary, nerve-racking days
passed. 1t was late afternoon of the
fourth day when Mrs. McChesney en-

She had come from another fruitless
visit to the baggage room. She sank
into leather-cushioned seat In a cor
