WHY MUST I USE ONLY TWO
POUNDS OF SUGAR A MONTH";

Following are seven why's for
short supplies of sugar.
/. Our great war program has
reduced our sugar-carrying fleet.
2. The sugar requirements of
our overseas Army are very large
8. Our own sugar crop is less
than we expected.
4. The small island, Cuba, must
feed the world with sugar.
5. We have diverted $4,000 tons
of sugar shipping in order that Bel
GUM should have food.
6. Germans have destroyed sug-
ar-beet fields and factories in north
ern France and Italy.
7. More than 100000 pounds
of sugar have been sunk off our
shores by German submarines.

A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when
in need. Mt. Sterling people tell how
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Mamie Trimble, of 10 Jamison
St., Mt. Sterling, endorsed Doan's
nine years ago and again confirms
the story. Could you ask for more
convincing testimony?
'Last fall / was hardly able to
stand on my feet to do my house
work." says Mamie Trimble. 81 suf-
ferred from an almost constant pain
in my left side and a dull, heavy,
bearing down feeling through my
hips and across my kidneys. The
way my kidneys were acting caused
me a lot of distress. My hands and
limbs swelled and 1 was nervous,
tired and sick all the time until
used Doan's Kidney Pills. This med
icine greatly benefited me and l
soon felt like a different person"
Statement given February "a,
19Os.)
On January 6, 1917, Mamie Trim
BILE said: 81 am always glad to praise
Doan's Kidney Pills. They have
helped me wonderfully and when ]
have any sign of kidney trouble they
have never failed to give me relief"

A NICE COMPLIMENT

The following letter was received
last week by Prof @. w. Adams and
is quite a compliment to the eff
cheney of the local colored school:
Mt Sterling, Ky, Sept. 26, 1918.
Prof. Geo. W. Adams,
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Dear Professor:
/ take this opportunity of express
ing a word of appreciation of the
work you are doing among the child
rem of this city as it is certainly re-
Elected in the conduct Of the child
ren.
Yesterday when the little folks at
tended the Liberty Theatre ] had an
excellent opportunity to observe the
department of your charges and it is
with some pleasure that / can say;
my work has brought me in touch
with many bodies of school children,
but never have / come in contact
with such a well disciplined and all
around well behaved children as
those of your school.
With best wishes, ! am yours,
R. J. NORRIS.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-10-01

year than in the past from MontgOm-
cry County.
think You owe il TO the taxpayers
Of the county to give publicity TO
this statement, but if you do not
care to do so, in justice to the new
tax laws, / feel that it will be neces-
sary to find some other way to ae-
quaint the taxpayers with the fact
that the State of Kentucky is col
leeting much less money in taxes uu-
der the new law from Montgomery
County for the support of the State
than it collected last year.
While would prefer to have the
good opinion of all men, it is more
than any public servant can expect,
and so far as your criticism of me
personally is concerned / certainly
have no right to complain at any
opinion which you desire to express,
so long as it is a personal opinion
only.
Assuring you that am writing
this letter for no purpose other than
to set you right, beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
Chairman. NJ. NJ LOGAN,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-10-01

gomery County paid to the State Of
Kentucky s4l,s17.45, exclusive Of
the tax on bank shares. Under the
new tax Law for the present year the
taxpayers of Montgomery County
will pay to the State of Kentucky,
exclusive Of bank shares, s39, 629.7s.
You will thus see that notwithstand-
ing the increase in the assessed valu-
alton Of property the taxes collect
ed by the State are materially less
than we're collected last year, and /
believe that you fully appreciate the
fact that all governmental expenses
have increased very materially with
in the last year.
1t necessarily follows that if the
taxpayers of Montgomery County
pay more taxes than in the past that
the county receives the full benefit
of it, and if the county did not need
the taxes it was comparatively an
easy matter for the fiscal court to
reduce the tax rate. You viii thus
see that the new tax laws are not
responsible for any increases in
taxes, and that the State of Ken
lucky is collecting less taxes this

GREAT WHEAT CROP
WILL BE HARVESTED

Bumper wheat crops in the lead
ing grain belts Of the country will
be harvested this season, in the opin-
ion of w. j. OLoughlin, a grain sup
ervisor in the service of the depart
ment of agriculture.
He is visiting the 80 or 40 grain
inspection and supervising offices
maintained by the department, study
ing the conditions of handling and
grading Of grain prevalent in each
section. The government desires the
bringing about of a uniform grading
system at the various big markets.
Outside of the Texas Panhandle,
where the grain has sustained seri-
GUS damage, he says the prospects ap-
parently never were better for a
bountiful crop. In the central west,
particularly, the crops are unusually
promising.

CARE IN DETAILS
MAY SAVE A LIFE

81 don't see why we have to be so
awful careful in making these Red
Cross dressings" said a young girl,
as she folded square of gauze. "Cut
on thread. fold Just so and be sure
there are six in each pile and never
five or seven! What difference does
it make?"
81 don't see, either" confessed a
girl standing next her, "but," she
fastened to add, I'm going to do it.
| think about my brother. Since he's
enlisted, he says he's had about seven
million orders that he could not see
any sense in, but he has obeyed them
and 1t seems to me that we ought to,
too, Just as much as the soldiers"
One of the volunteer teachers stop
ped in passing and laid her hand on
the girls arm.
81 had not meant to eavesdrop,"
she said "but am glad to hear you
say that. Because, you see, there
really is reason, in the case of our
work, and | suppose even more in
that of the soldiers, for being just
as particular as we are. Take those
surgical sponges that you are max
ing; | know about them because my
husband is a surgeon. Just six are
needed for the sort of operation for
which they are intended, and / know
of case where some one blundered
and put seven in the package. All
seven were used, without its being
noticed and then only six were re-
moved. The patient died as the re-
suit of the seventh sponge left in
the wound. And that was in a regu-
lar hospital, in time of peace, not
IN the hurry of first aid work"
One of the lessons which it is to be
hoped that the war will teach us is
the value of absolute precision and
accuracy. Not only in war time but
In times of peace as well, success or
failure, victory or defeat often de-
pends wholly upon attention to some
seemingly trivial detail. The extern
nation OF typhoid is largely matter
OF swatting the fly, the Panama canal
could not he dug until we had learn
ed to exterminate a certain variety
OF mosquito, and the achievement Of
character often depends wholly upon
the route Of one besetting habit
1t Is true paradox that the big
things for most Of us to conquer are
the little things. Ours is an age, as
Chesterton says, that no longer fights
dragons but has taken to fighting
