SUGAR SHORTAGE
is A BLESSING
DR.. Wiley, Famous Food Expert, Says
He Would Bar Sweets from All
Under Is Years.

BOSTON, Jan. 29.-''The shortage of
sugar is the greatest blessing that has
yet come to us in this world war; said
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, speaking at the
Forsyth Infirmary on The Teeth in War
Time. more teeth have been destroyed
by sugar than by all other means com
bined. This country has learned at last
that it can do without sugar.
1.-THE mother who grants the whims
Of her children when they cry for sweets
is the enemy Of her children When
they eat sweets the children drink less
milk. The Lord made milk, and He is
the best dietitian | know. He didn t
make the sweet tooth, because He knew
it would be bad tooth.
IF ] were food dictator Ia close
every candy factory in the country. d
make it a penitentiary offense to give
i candy to any child under ID years.
Sugar displaces the foods out of
which teeth are made. You couldn I
build tooth out Of all the sugar stored
IN every warehouse IN the country
Sugar builds tissue only of Il fatty char
acter. Fats themselves are usually pure
fuels and do not build fatty tissues.
/ 81 do not say you should deprive
your children entirely OF sweets They
may have sweets in small amounts. The
natural sugars are the best But die
you know that if everyone in the coun
try would eat honey for just one break
fast the whole country would be swept
clean?
"a good set of teeth no person ear
value in money. Only so per cent OF
the people in the United States hav,
ever had any instruction in the care OF
the teeth. Only 10 per cent of GU,
school children have anything like per
feet teeth.
/ Thousands upon thousands of young
men have been rejected, when they
wanted to fight for their country, be
cause they have bad teeth. What ,

culture which we have been dishing on
to our childrenl"

NY Friend Mas Dead.

We went forth on our mission hand in
hand;
We spoke of things near to our hearts
and spared
10 confidence; talked of the future and
with care we planned
The one great project which we long
had shared.
All suddenly some word of mine gave
pain,
The honest heart beside me wound
ed, bled.
Tho forgiveness implored again and
vet again,
Ny friend was dead!
lie walked beside me 'er tic old time
road,
spoke with me sometimes in the old
Ell way.
Helped me to ease my shoulders Of
their load,
Clasped hands at parting, knelt with
me to pray;
And | knew that little careless word
Which | in haste without intent to
wound, had said
The Utmost depths his patient heart
had stirred
My friend was dead,
Sometimes we meet, strange eyes do
not discern
The barrier careless speech has reared
They see the way-the guide POST and
the turn
But from life : path the brambles
are not cleared
Oft times the rose we planted bears
its thorn;
1t rankles and the hand that plucked
| is red;
Dark Is the night, and far away the
| morn
! My friend IS dead.

WASHINGTON, Jan. GA meeting
Of the executive committee of the
League for National Unity has been
called for Wednesday in New York for

refers TO the serious situation that de

startling inroads on congress.

One of the generals was too big to

the other loathed the idea of mud on

In addition to this. because our fields
