she would be back in a little while
and would bring candy for him. But
she did not return. Her husband re-
ceived notice that Mrs. Hicks had
been run down and killed by train
on the East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina Railroad.
The story OF the mothers death was
told to her young son, and from that
moment his mind seemed affected, so
great was his grief Her promise soon
to return fingered In his mind until
he refused TO accept the story Of her
death. Laboring under the hallucina.
ton that his mother lived, and that
she would keep her promise to return,
the boy stationed himself at the front
gate of the cabin home daily.
There he waited and watched for
thirty years, the neighhors declare.

Americas new sugar ration OF TWO

BILE when compared with the sugar ra'
tion enforced by rigid goVernnental
order in England. France and Italy, IA
tons with which We are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter OF
sugar consumption--is sharing Oh near
est possible equal terms the hardsllps
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
Ia now war time essential. The falT
and Just division of this essential u
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Admnistra'
zion has asked this nation to observe
n voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar Is one Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether III
the households Of both rich and poor
or In the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person
In France the ration is pound and Il
half and In Italy it is one pound s.
month And the prices In allied coun
tries are from two TO three times "a
high as in America.
Ii you go to hotel In England OF
France these days and order tea OF
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar

bring 1t with you.
In England 1t 10 allowable to use
one-seventh Of an ounce OF sugar IN
the preparation Of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use In hotels and In England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
II they wish to have sweetened ten

Before the war started France had
625,OOO acres devoted TO sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased TO 10000 acres
Today the French man or woman with a

that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first

Italy Has estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy Its manu-

Saccharine Is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix

"State Sugar" which Is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities, Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the export

That the influenza germs have been Sc
cretly scattered in this country by German
U-boats is a charge difficult TO prove but
their gas attacks on crews Of our light
ships and lighthouses furnish character
evidence against them.
u is scientifically demonstrated that the
germs increase in yirulence with the num-
Der OF persons they pass through. until
finally the system acquires immunity
against them through infection
Treatment for the disease Is simple.
SurgeOnGeneral Blue, OF the Public
Health Service, summarizes It as follows:
Rest In bed, fresh air, abundant food,
free action OF lqtestines, with Dovers
powder for the relief OF pain. Every case
with fever should be regarded as serious
and kept IN bed"
In order to guard against infection II
Is necessary 10 keep the mouth and nose
clean and healthy by means o. some mild
antiseptic and 70 treat all colds promptly.

acid. one teaspOonful bicarbonate OF soda

be found very useful IN keeping nose and
throat clean.
The disease is spread by "droplet infec-
ton" that is, by little drops swarming
with germs scattered by infected persons
who sneeZe, spit and cough in public
places. One sneeze in a street car may
infect a whole city.
II is therefore very comforting 70 know
that Health Commissioner Copeland OF
New York, has called a meeting of theatri-
cal mana gers and others with a view to
enforcing the laws against splitting in
public.
kissing is another prolific method OF in
lection. and this practice should be stopped
except IN cases where II is absolutely in
dispensable TO happiness. kissing between
members OF the gentle sex can certainly
be abolished without hardship.
Army doctors have found the "gauze face
mask" very useful IN preventing infection.
This is made with three or four LAYERS o.
gauze in The shape OF a rectangle five by
seven inches, covering the mouth and
nose and secured By a band over the ears
and round the back OF the head
