glucose or dextrose, or grape sugar;
fructose or levulose or fruit sugar;
lactose or milk sugar; and maltese
or malt sugar.
Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar
and maple syrup. corn syrup and
many other syrups contain one or
more of these "other sugars" In this
sense, all the sugar substitutes are
not really substitutes at all, but are
sugars just as cane sugar is sugar.
All fruits contain sugar of one kind
or another. Dried fruits-prunes, figs,
apricots, dates--contain a great deal
of sugar. They can be used by them
selves as sources of fuel for home
fighters.
All these sugars have very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They are energy
foods and of particular value in that
they act very rapidly in producing
energy for the body to use.
Sugars are not all alike. Some of
them are more complex than others.
But, in the end, they all break down
into one of the simple sugars like
glucose, fructose cor galactose.

WATCHING WAR
IN BIRTHPLACE
A keokuk Waterworks Man Left Al
SAGE When a Mere Boy to
Avoid Coming Under the
German Yoke.

Aiois Gumbfe, Of the Keokuk water
works company, has perhaps more
personal interest in the war news
than any other person in Keokuk who
has no relatives in the front of the
fighting.
The war news reads to him as it
would to native Of Keokuk who fol-
lowed war placed around Keokuk,
Bloomfield, Kahoka, Quincy and La
Harpe.
He was born in Alsace and is famil-
lar with much of France by travelling
over part of It and being acquainted
at first hand with much more OF 1t.
Immediately after the war OF 1871,
the Germans gave the Inhabitants of
Alsace and Lorraine forty-eight hours
to get out Of the county or take the
oath of allegiance to Germany and be-
come Germanized The parents OF
Alois Gumble could not get away on
such short notice, but he left at once,
although only boy in years. He
came to America and has been living
in Keokuk for many years, well known
to everybody here. He still speaks
French and has hated the Huns con-
sistentIy for over forty years.

for the company office clerks, Brant
can instantly give the exact street adj
dress of almost every resident Of Keo-
kuk.
And he can as quickly give the name
of the family living in any house in
town, described either by its street
number Or its location.
Incidentl1y, people like him SO well
that after office hours they telephone
him at his home to come out and fix
the gas stove or make lights burn, and
he is thus unofficially but very prac-
tically trouble shooter for the com
pany. He can do this work. because he
worked electrical construction for
years before he became a meter read
er.
He was reared in southern Illinois
and married southeast Of Nauvoo
where he worked on farm for awhile.
But all that seems very tame to him
now.

BAD DROUTH;
MORE MEAT
How the Lack Of Water in the South
west Made More Beef for Us
to Eat and Removed
Restrictions.

The extreme drouth in Texas, Okla
homa and other sections of the south
west, which also affects Montana and
certain areas in adjacent states In
the northwest, endangered the meat
herds in these great cattle producing
sections.
AS an immediate result, the cattle
runs are fifty percent heavier than in
the corresponding period of last year.
That is why beef eating restrictions
have been withdrawn by the food
administration.
The heavier and fatter cattle are
more needed for export purposes for
our own armed forces and those of
our allies because on account of their
thickness and fatty covering they are
less subject to deterioration during
transfer from cars to ships and

GRIND NO RYE
FOR HOG FEED
While Not Entirely Prohibited, You
are Asked Not to Do 1t as
Matter of Personal
Patriotism.

The rules and regulations promul-
gated under the food control act do
not prohibit the grin ding of rye and
barley for hog feed The food adj
ministration, as a matter of patriot
ism, has requested all persons not to
grind rye other than for human food.
In urgent cases, however, to meet
local conditions the state food ad-
ministration may sanction the use of
rye for hog and cattle feed where
other feed is not obtainable
Use of wheat and wheat and oats
mixture of any kind is absolutely pro-
hibited.

GOOD NEWS FOR US

A letter to the Register from our
special correspondent, Harry c. Evans,
whose letters are so full of vital Jews
and information, writes that he is now
being sen out on a lecture tour of the
various places on the front where our
boys are in active service. This trip
will give him a larger experience and
a bigger message for the boys in the
reserve camps and the folks at home.
We can expect that soon we will be
having some real good letters that will
reveal as much as the authorities will
permit, the facts that we all want to
know about the boys and what they
are doing in their dugouts and
trenches. Sometimes, as last week,
we miss a letter from Evans, owing
to delay in the mails from France,
but that is something inevitable, and
the Register is doing its best to give
our readers the best Jews and most
vital information, so much wanted at
such a time as this.

The local board are confronted with
a serious condition. They are expert
ercing much difficulty in filing the
current quota without calling men who
are bona-ide farmers, and the only
way to avoid, or at least help, this sit
%uation, is to draw the lines closer upon
dependency classification.
The regulations provide that no man
shall be placed in Glass w A unless
his dependents are mainly dependent
upon his labor for support. If regis
trant has property or means sufficient
to support his dependents he should
not be deferred to Glass w A. Fur
Their, under recent rulings of the Pro-
vost Marshal General, registrants
should not remain in deferred CLASH
f~ication if they are not engaged in pro-
ductive occupations or employments.
The following occupations are defined
to be non-productive:
(a) Persons engaged in the serv-
ing of food and drink. or either in pub.
lie places, including hotels and social
clubs.
(b) Passenger-elevator operators and
attendants; and door men, footmen,
carriage openers and other attend
ants in clubs, hotels, stores, apart
ment houses. Office buildings and bath
houses.
(c) Persons including ushers and
other attendants, engaged and occu.
pied in and in connection with games,
sports and amusements, excepting &C.
tual performers in legitimate concerts
operas, or theatrical performances.
(d) Persons employed in domestic
service.
(e) Sales clerks and other clerks
employed in stores and other mercan'
tile establishments.
The regulations also make it the
duty of every citizen to report all facts
concerning Registrars which would
tend to cause their Redistribution.
You are therefore requested to scru
tinize carefully the lists of deferred
registrants recently published in the
local papers and report to the under
signed any facts concerning them
which would result in their ~re-classi
fcation. II you know Of any man wht

package with an incoherent acknowl-
edgment. Without letting her eyes
meet his, she was conscious of how
fresh and clean and strong he looked,
dressed in a livelier manner than
usual-a partly cowboy effect, with a
broader hat and a gayer tie than he
ordinarily affected. De Spain kept on
speaking: THE telephone girl In the

She regarded him wonderingly. "He

quietly.
''Too bad he should have been hurt
In such n way. Are you pretty well,
Nan?' She thanked him.
"Stay here a good deal, do you? I'll

answered to the point: You'd lose

n look Of indignant disclaimer at him.
But in doing SO she met his eyes.

said determinedly. Gross it with me

She struggled to escape. She knew
what was coming and fought to keep
her face from him. With resistless

Drinking in the wine of her frightened
breath, he bent over her in the dark

He spoke. "The CULTS crossed. Are

"Ill Bet You Don't Know What Day

"Have you seen the decorations in
Main street? Come to the door just a
minute and see the way they've lighted
the arches" She knew just che ex-
preston of his eyes that went with
that tone. She looked vexedly at him
to confirm her suspicion. Sure enough
there in the brown part and in the lids,
kind of an eXpression-hard to be reso-
lutte against. Her eyes fell away, but
some damage had been done. He did
not say another word. None seemed
necessary. He just kept still and
something-no one could have said
just what-seemed to talk for hinhto
poor defenseless Nan. She hesitated
helplessly. 81 can't leave uncle" she
objected at last.

Her eyes futtered about the dimly
lighted hall. II ought not to leave"

again for a fraction Of a second on his
eyes; when she drew a breath after
that pause everything was over. I'D
better give him his medicine first" she
said, looking toward the sickroOm door.
His monosyllabic answer was calm:
"Do." Then as she laid her hand on
the knob of the door to enter the room:
"Can l help any?"
"Oh, mol" she cried Indignantly.
He laughed silently: "Ill stay here"
Nan disappeared. Lounging against
the wtndowsill opposite the door, he
waited. After q long time the door
was stealtfhly %reopened. Nan tiptoed
out. She closed 1t softly behind her:
II waited for him to go to Sleep" she
explained as she started down the cor.
ridor with De Spain. Hes had so
much pain today hope he sleeps"
II hope so, too" exclaimed De Spain
fervently.
Nan ignored the implication. She
looked straight ahead. She had moth
ing to say. De Spain, walking beside
her, devoured her with his eyes; lis
tened to her footballs; tried to make
talk hut Nan was silent.
Standing on the wide veranda out
side the front door, she assented to
the beauty Of the distant illumination,
but not enthusiastically. De Spain
declared 1t could be seen very much
better from the street below. Nan
thought she could see very well where
they stood. But by this time she was
answering questions-dryly, 1t Is true,

De Spain leading the way a step or
two forward at a time, coaxed her
down the driveway.

A TOAST TO THE FLAG

Here's to the red of it
There's not thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread Of it
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it red.
Here's to the white of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels te might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it.;
Purity's pray'r for it
Kept it so white.
Here's to the blue of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-Spangled hue of it,
Honestry's due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it
Red, VIII e and blue.
