Sugar.

A year ago domestic use OF sugar
in this country was fifty-five pounds,
its total use ninety pounds. year

harmful indulgence. Great Britain
was using sixty-seven pounds,
France twenty-siX pounds-When
they could get it, which was not al
ways
In August, Britain reduced house
holds to twenty-four pounds year,
in September. France cut them 10
thirteen pounds; and both restricted
commercial use. Still they could
not get sugar, and Mr.. Hoover ask
ed Americans to save IL 1or tnel1.
About 100000 tons were SO spared.
Now we are asked to 40 petteI,
and can do better. Households are
desired to get along with thirty-slx
pounds a year per person, MAKING,
with factory use generally cut %
per cent, a total of rather less than
sixty pounds year each. only ex-
plosives, canned and preserved 1rults
and few other essentials are to
draw full allowance.
Complying with this moderate ra-
-tioning rule, we shall still consume
much more sugar than the BRUSH
can now obtain, and probably three
times as much as the French. NO
one will suffer harm by this thought
fulness, and many will beneht.
Can there be any doubt what
America will do? Save sugar Tor
the war; for our boys over there and
our allies. Cut consumption, ana
begin now!

MORE HIGH CLASS VAUDEVILLE
AT THE PALACE.

The Palace theatre continues to
maintain its standard of offering its
patrons vaudeville of the highest pos

of this week, commencing Thrus-
day, and concluding with the Sun
day night performances, the bill
promises to be one of unusual worth.
Headline position has been allotted
to Martha Hamilton & Co., who will
present one of the funniest comedy
sketches in the variety field. 1t is
called "Oh, You Women" and there
are said to be many laughable lines
and situations in it. The comedy
depicts a twentieth century home
where the wife made use of the dol

she spent her husbands money on
cards. When the installment COLES

that she required the most insistent
display of will power, coupled with
all her physical power.
