KEEP cool

Disquieting rumors, the past, few
days have been hard on the nerves
OF the mothers and fathers of the boys
of Company H. There are other moth
ers and fathers who have boys at the
front and in the camps of this coun-
try. 1t is up TO them to keep their
nerve and help in this way to allay
mere rumor. The official returns will
come in soon. But until then too much
credence should not be put on mere
rumor. 1t is a time of severe trial to
these men and women of our city and
county, and those of US who are not
undergoing this strain must help them
by our department. Don't believe ev-
erything you hear, and don't repeat
story unless you have some founda-
ton for it. If some one tells you
story get at the foundation of it. Don't
help spread hearsay evidence. Get the
facts and keep cool. - Oskaloosa

that sugar "sucrose," and you would
remark casually that OF course there
are other sugars.

Dried fruits-prunes, figs, apricots,

They can be used by themselves as
sources of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars have very high
food value. That is the second fact TO
