After making a careful survey Of the
world sugar situation the U. s. Food
Administration has asked the Amerl,
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER
son A MONTH until January l, 1919
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes Of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
a pound a week. serve for all sugar
uses in the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
thei- use of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
q. S. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound Of sugar is used for
every 100 meals served.
The U. s. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
Of sugar here to q level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces In its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution Of sugar to the Al
lied world Is as follows:

A Saying of the Kaiser

H. +. Din a discussion it was en-
phatically denied by German that the
Kaiser IN speech to his soldiers had
ever used the words generally attrib-
uted to him, "Act like the Huns" or
words to the same effect. Could you
tell me the exact words and on what
occasion William ii gave this brutal
order?
1t was IN the year 1900. at the time
of the so-called Boxer rebellion in
CHINA. All European powers and also
the United states sent relief troops to
China TO protect their ambassadors and
suppress the rebellion. At the depart
ure OF the German troops from Ham
burg. July y, the Kaiser delivered an
address IN which, among other things.
he said:
when you encounter the enemy in
CHINA he must be beaten. No pardon
shall be given. No prisoners shall be
taken. Like the Huns under King
Attila, of whom legend still to-day tells
US IN Europe. you must make your
selves name in China, so that no
Chinaman will ever dare to attack a
German
That the Teutons were only too eager
to obey their Kaiser's command was
shown By the German Social Democrat
organ "Norwaerts," which soon after
published so-calied "Hun Lettersr-
that is, letters from German soldiers
on the atrocities committed in China.

Uncle Sam has provided the 'cheap-

that the life insurance executives re-
fuse to consider it proper subject of

which they sell. Nevertheless, one
ventures to compare them.
At the age Of thirty-five the soldier
pays under the war risk act an annual
premium of about SO. The average

Chyist's Relations

F. F.-Will you please decide AS TO
whether Christ had brothers and sis
ters?
To judge from the passages Matthew
xii. Al. as. xiii. So, J6; Luke vii. l9;
St. John vii. 3, ,. 10. Christ undoubtedly
had brothers and sisters. These pas
sages are, however, contradicted by
others. from which We learn that the
pretended brothers os Christ were only
his cousins. Thus, according 70 Luke
vi, 10. and John XIX, 25, James WAS the
son of one Alpheus, or Cleophas. and
Mary. the Virgins sister. From Mat
thew xvii, 56, and Mark xv, 40, we
learn that Joses. or Joseph. was
James's brother, and so, according to
Luke Vi. Is, was also Jude In other
passages the fourth pretended brother
of Christ is designated by the Jews as
the brother of James. Jude and Joses.
1t is also claimed. in explanation of
this theological puzzle, that the Jews
were wont to apply the term brother
TO cousins. to relatives in collateral
line, and even to mere friends Genesis
xii. 1920. The view that the above
mentioned persouages were but Christ's
cousins. and not his brothers, is held
by Iertullian, Orgen, Ambrosius,
lrenaus and. in fact, by all the Catho-
lie Church. also prominent Protestants
tGrotlus, Calvin, etc.) share in it.

Secretary of the Interior Lane has
just said that the hazard among rail
road swtchmen is greater than the
proved war hazard in Europe. The
actuaries in the War Risk Bureau
would not base a new table on any
empirical formula Of that sort. As
Tor the private companies. they ant;c-
pate "a deadly certainty of gigantic
losses" in the war.
So great are their fears that thcv
are quite willing that the government
should relieve them of the hazard. Not
a few companies had war clauses in
their policies which the soldier-policy-
holders arc now discovering to their
dismay. Others have made the war
risk premiums prohibitive.
Certainly the war risk hazard NAV
we'll be regarded as entirely specula-
tive, seeing that the critics Of premium
loadings take such violent issue with
peace premiums. The actual peace in

by the critics TO be only 60 per cent OF

Low Origin Of European Dynas-
ties

$. II. Is it not q fact that most of
the European ruling families are of
low origin?
Those who have ever studied the
genealogical history of the European
dynasties know that most of them are
OF rather low origin. Nearly all have
at least one ancestor who by no means
sccptre, and beyond whom they can
not trace their ancestry. An instance
is afforded by the Archdukc Franz
Ferdinand. the heir to the throne of
Austria, whose assassination was the
direct cause of the present war.
In the fifteenth century there lived
IN France a barber of the name of Ba-
bou. who certainly never dreamed OF

Whist

K. Din how many different ways
can the. tifty-two cards be distributed
among four whist players 50 that every
one gets thirteen cards. In other
words, what is the number OF all pos
slble distributions?
The number of all possible distribu-
tons rs 53,64f quadriliions and 737.765
trillions and 477.792 billions and $780,
237 millions and 10000. The follow
ing illustration may give AN idea of
the immensely of this number: If on
the entire surface of our globe. in
elusive of all mountains and oceans.
Whist tables could be so placed that
each table together with the four play
ers should occupy no more space than
one square metre 1887 square inches =,
and If they should play whist inccs-
sanity, each game consuming only five
minutes, it would require more than
a thousand million years before every
possible distribution of the fifty-two
cards could be realized.
