THE EAGLE SCREAMS.

1t is enough to make the eagle on
the American dollar scream with
agony and despair at the number of
payment for kaiserism's liquid fire,
booze, when it could, if thrown into
the treasury of the United States, soar
over the trenches of the German army
and scream defiance and final victory
for the world and for democracy.
If the $2.43S, 037 ,9S5.50 spent for
liquor in the United States last year
were used for the support of her army
for one year this is what it would ac-
complish: 1t would insure the salaries
of our fighting men ($715,S2S, 440)

reduction. In Europe the present ra-
tlon Is already reduced to minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
fair distribution of sugar to the AL.
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun.
try, in MONIES, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap.
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur.
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.

Birds WEIGH Themselves.

An ingenious naturalist has been
making the tomtits record their weight.
In order to obtain the food which he
places for them they have to alight
upon what appears to be twig. but is
IN reality the beam of a tiny scale.
AS they rest upon it SO they register

one-third of an ounce per bird-forty-

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of Sweetenina
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation--in the matter of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential Is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food AdminIstra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and a
half and In Italy it is one pound
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and orderatea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England 1t is 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 thenf
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
5000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. Fly 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find 1t.
italy Has state sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany. before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business. but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents pound; France.
~ cents Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American Wholesale
price Is being held at IA cents.

TO Voters of Kootenai County:

Ii nominated and elected as State Senator I
shall introduce and support law providing that
counties shall be created by direct vote of the peo-
pie not earlier than 1920 This is no time for the
Legislature to divide Kootenai County nor any
other county, should counties be created bv
the Legislature at any time. This is no time to
argue division. Arguments both for and against
should be made to the people in 1920. Such meth
Cd is fair to all concerned.
If elected, shall, regardless of locality, fairly
represent all the people Of Kootenai County.

dowdy about these smart dresses. AS
you can see from the illustration
they are extremely good-looking
This one has some odd little touches
that make it different from the aver
age dress. The belt arrangement is
repeated for the cuffs. The tiny but
tons on the organdie vest are the
only ones used anywhere. The knit
ting bag carried with this costume
is worth studying also, for it shows
new shape and is very easy to
make.
So many of the thin dresses have
very deep hens, some times as deep
as eighteen inches! This sounds
extravagant, but on the other hand,
a deep hem is a great advantage, for
only one petticoat has to be worn,
while with the thin dresses with
narrow hens, one must wear two
petticoats.

Attractive Dress of Figured Wolfe
street wraps. They were originally
intended for sports wear, but are so
practical and generally becoming,
they are being worn for many diff
ferent occasions. Satin skirts are
usually the accompaniment of these
overblouses. through skirts of pique,
corduroy, cotton gaberdine and flan-
mel are often worn with them. The
hat, as rule, belongs to the sailor
type, with wide brim and rather
high crown, repeating the predomi-
mating color of the costume in the
band or under facing. Sports shoes,
in white or dust-tan are consideded
very smart.
The Afternoon FrOck
A trip through the shops conyinces
one without furthur agreement of
the many, many ways in which one
can unite economy with style! Never
have the materials been so attract
i've. The colors seem fresher than
of old, and the quality of the ma
terials higher. Wolfe is one of the
most valuable aids to summer cool
ness. The little afternoon dress illus
trated here is of that fascinating
material. Some of those unusual
flowers that only bloom in Fashions
garden are scattered over the back
ground " o. vo,,,y Whlte with cross
bar of moss green, The dress can
be closed on either the right of the
left side, one of it's unusual features;
another being the sash slipped
through a slash. The surplice
closing is becoming to most women,
giving a charming length of line
which is continued in this case onto
the skirt. Short sleeves are fast be-
coming the rage and really they are
the more comfortable for summer.
Note the novel arrangement of the
cuffs.
Capes, Military and Civilian
The cape has come. to stay, at
least for the time being, They are
graceful things and can be used for
so many different occasions. Some
are copies of the capes worn by our
Navy officers, extremely good look
ing they are, too. For the women
who do not want to wear these
military capes, there are others just
as attractive. Some are much long
er on one side than on the other and
can be thrown around the arm and
over the shoulder after the manner
of the Italian officer. Some are
shoulder capes with a coat arrange
ment in the front. Most of them are
made of dark colors for street wear,
though evening capes come in all the
delicate shades. There is not great
deal of trimming on them. Often
the gay lining is repeated for the
draped collar. Sometimes the deep
armholes are bound with a contrast
ing color, or the pockets are faced
with satin or foulard or sports silk.
