This plan was favorably re-
ceived by the sugar refining in
dustry, which had been on war
basis almost from the beginning
Of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies
into the Cuban market, resulting
in severe domestic and interna-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar, both to
the American public and to the
Allies, rose under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners, since
the outbreak Of the European War
not only have safeSuarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
in the world.
This brilliant record is due
LARGELY to the fact that sugar re-
filming is in the hands Of large
business units, with an excess OF
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs, and SO far
all demands of foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1917 there was
a serious attempt at the disor-
sanitation Of the sugar refining
industry. following a long series
Of attempts at destruction Of sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were widely circulated sensa-
tional reports predicting sugar
famine and sugar shortage, caus-
ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat time, evenwith the assur-
ance Of ample supplies On hand.
retail sugar prices rose in some
sections to 20 and Is cents pound.
The efforts Of the American
Sugar Refining Company to allay
public alarm, to check boarding,
to accept price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured, and to distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade, were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies
Of sugar in far-away Java which
ordinarily would have gone to
Europe. yet the necessity for saw
ing ships became SO great that
Europe turned to Cuba for even
larger supplies than previously.
It takes a cargo ship $50 days to
make a round trip between Eng
land and Java, while round trip
between England and Cuba can
be made in so days.
Under these circumstances
and seemingly to avoid paying
proposed United States war taxes
on refined sugar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions, and especial
ly the necessity of saving ships,
In war time and at all tim
interests Of the public we ser>

PRESIDENT WILSON ON THRIFT

In the sense In which We have
been wont to think OF armies there
are NO armies in this struggle; there
are entire nations armed. Thus the
men who remain to till the soil and
man the factories are no less part
Of the army that ID IN France than
the men beneath the battle flags. It
must be 20 with us. It 10 not an army
that we must shape and train for war:
1t is Q nation. To this end our people
must draw close n one compact front
against common foe. But this can.
not be IL each man pursues q private
purpose. All must pursue one pur-
pose. The natien needs all mon, but
it needs each man, not in the field
that will most pleasure him but IN
the endeavor that will best serve the
common good"

A COLD is NOT A COLI
II It Lasts Longer Than Three Days
IL 10 "Nasal sinusitis," Lee
eiares Physician.

"A cold In the head which lasts
longer than three days is no longer
such, but n;rs sinusitis," said DIR.
John ]. Hurley o. Boston in an address
reported in the Medical Record.
Doctor Hurley was arguing that
grippe" and influenza were nothing
but an Inflammation of the sinuses of
the face. that labyrinth of the passages
In the bones Of the nose, cheeks and
forehead which empty into the nose or
pharynx. After comparing all the
classic symptoms Of influenza as de-
scribed In the textbooks with those of
sinusitis and pointing out their SINH
larity II not identity. he called "infiu-
enza" and grippe" the "alibis of lg-
norance."
The familiar Influenza bacillus dis
covered by Pfeiffer is found in many
but by no means all cases of sO-called
grippe. 1t has special affinity for the
stnuses Of the nose. But there are
many other bacilli-all of the pus-
forming kinds-that produce the same
effects.
Sinusis is nothing but the formation
Of an abscess in the sinuses. The pa
tient needs no drugs; what he needs Is
to have the sinuses emptied. This is
easy In nearly all cases; specialist
can open the swollen passages with Il
cotton pledget on the tip Of bougie
and generally nothing more is needed
than the touching Of the passages with
nitrate Of silver. Once they begin to
discharge their pus freely the cure is
rapid. Cases in which an operation is
necessary are the rare exception.

DO SUCH live here?

Human nature h very strange. The
way some Homsa ere wailins over the
new sugar regulations is pitiful. To
some Of them. Il seems, 4 crate Of
fruit is more tAAa all the starving
millions Of Europe. They are the
abused race ovsr the new canning reg.
ulations, and anyone who talked to
them about the Recover regulations
year ago and knew Of the scorn with
which any suggestions Of curtailmeAt
we're met can realize how hurt they
are with the enforced denial. This II
only lack Of vision. Women whose
men are at war aeespt the regulations
with cheerfulnsss; they do not weep
over the loss n fssit. or the difficulty
of canning without sugar. They have
other losses - think Of. They know
that doing without few pounds Of
sugar ID an easy matter compared to
their greater sacrifice. Spokesman.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, June 8. "a p. m.)-An-
erican marines and adjoining units
aoain drove forward northwest OF
chateau-Thierry today. German count
er attacks were blocked by the Am
erican advance.
Artillery fire, which had been in
oessant along BeIIeau wood through
out the night, increased violently
about 4 a. m. At that moment the
rioht wing Of the marines attacked
in the south part Of the wood, where
the Germans had retained a foot
hold. The success Of this attack has
not been fully reported, although
numerous prisoners have been sent
back.
Indications are that the Americans
eliminated the enesny north OF the
sunken road between Torcy and BEL
ieau "a front of about r1ile).
At 1890 the enemy attempted to
advance. Their infantry was sup
ported by artillery and machine gun
and their attack was preceded by
barraue of gas shells and clouds OF
poisonous smoke.
The marines donned their gas
masks and stopped them 400 yards
from the trences, with artillery and
fire.
At the same time, the Boches at
tackled an adjoining unit, losing
hundred men and suffering COM
pIete repuIse. The American loss
was inconsequentiai.
Less than an hour later the Ger
mans attacked the marines who are
holding Bcuresches 1.-TWO miles south
east Of the previous attack against

The marines who had been strength
ened during the night, repuIsed the
enemy with sansuinary losses.
Earlier in the night the Americans

half a kiiometer and holding
their gain. The Americans found
the ground covered with unbvried
Germans, as we'll as many new graves

the Germans had dug in, but were
ousted.
There are evidences that the Ger
man elements are again receiving
fresh reinforee1nents, in an effort to

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
MARINE, June S.-American troops
cooperating with the French this
morning hold all gains of the last
two days fighting on ten mile front
northwest of Chateau-Thierry. There
is a temporary lu1l as this is cabled,
but the battle threatens to break out
anew at any moment. The Ameri-
cans and French now hold a line ex.
tending northwest Of V1nly, through
Bussiares and Belleau to southeast
of Bouresches. This represents an
advance ranging from less than
mile at some points, to nearly three
miles at other points.
The Americans advance adds an
other chapter to the accomplishment
of our troops. which are playing the
role of General Gallieni's famous
