both look and feel as fresh as daisy

The government is now making
public conclusive evidence that Ger.

the Reichbank or of the German gen.
eral staff, and in some instances no.
tations by Lenine or Trotsky, the
Bolshevik leaders. One of the Reich
bank memoranda, dated last January
announces to the commissar of for
eign affairs (Lenine) that fifty mil
lion roubles of gold had been placed
to the credit at Stockholm of the
representatives of the commissar, to
cover the cost of Red Guards and
agitation. Another of a few days Ia

trusted with the task of carrying off

The State is defendant in large
suit for damages arising out of the
death of two little girls following
typhoid inoculation. J. O'Neal San
del of Calhoun County, father of the
two girls, aged four and three years,
last Wednesday filed with the office
of the attorney, general papers of
summons and complaint against the
State of South Carolina, for DANA
ges amounting to 100000, the
amount in each case being $4,000.
Thazlast general assembly passed an
act allowing the suits to be filed a.
gainst the State. The case will be
heard in the circuit court of Rich
land County.
The complaint alleged that the
deaths of the children was due to
the fact that "said anti-typhoid vac
cine was contaminated with staphy-
loccoccus pyogenes, commonly called
pus. germs, and was impure and un-
fit to be injected into a human be-
ing; that said contamination of said
anti-typhoid vaccine was due to the

sions of the defendant, through it's
agents and servants"

est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
is now q war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
IN the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration OF two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether In
the households Of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound q
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
Ii you go to a hotel In England or
France these days and order tea or
ccifee they serve absolutely no sugar
with It. If you want sugar you must
bring 1t with you.
In England 1t Is allowable to use
One-seventh OF an ounce of sugar In
the preparation OF each luncheon. Ia
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use In hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
II they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends
Before the war started France had
$4,000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find Il.
Italy Has Estate Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use Of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
Iy controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
"State Sugar" which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
q great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to infOrma-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France,
12 cents Italy, 26 cents
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price Is being held at IN cents.

Our Situation.
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:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by One-half
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef-
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts Of sugar

er, the canned fruit may be sweeteneC
