A soldier was asked by Y secretary

it was dam dull, dam dirty and dam dan

Old Price On Old Stock.

Food Administrator Baetjer has noti-
fled a II dealers that they must sell the
stock of sugar now on hand at the usual
price, the new price to apply only to new
crop sugar. 1t would seem that the price
depends altogether on the honesty of the
retailer, for very few customers know
whether they pay for stock on hand for
some time, or whether they are given
sugar just purchased. To make the dis
tinction the new sugar should be made a
different color.
