GROCERY STORES
TO CLOSE SUNDAY

Food conservation has clutched an
other tradition of long standing and
made 1t give in to modern win-the-war
methods.
Beginning with September /, all
grocery stores. meat markets, delica-
lessen stores. bakeries aud other retail
stores handling groceries. meats, bak-
cry goods, delicatessen, dairy or farm
products will close on Sundays, and
after o'clock on Saturdays and 6
o'clock other days of the week and
holidays.
This ruling does not include shops
In which ice creams, candy and fresh
milk are sold.
The Sunday closing plan of the
United States food administration has
been endorsed almost unanimously by
all the retail dealers in Colorado. That
this measure will not only conserve
food, but man power, equipment. fuel,
gasoline and oil is the feeling of high
state food officials.

SPIRIT OF FRANCE
CLOVIS in SACRIFICE
OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

Much has been told Of the spirit
# France since the war began
Many heroic things- victories,
sacrifices, courage beyond belief,
accomplishing resistance to the
slow agony Of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this marvellous, ideslistic devo-
lion to their own land
But listen to this tale, ye who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet as Of yore:
Last winter sugar was scarce in
France, even as it is now, - scarce
that it was and is an almost I'M
known luxury to many.
Officials of the Red Gross de-
cided to invite the school children
Of Paris to a luncheon. SO all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and Toasted on the
great cups of chocolate which is
their delight, with an ample sup
ply of bread.
Then because candy il no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry no
more, because there must be sur
prise, a final treat, "bonne
bouche," each little guest, out OF
the stores Of the Rad Gross, was
given to eat lump Of sugar, one
of the half dominoes Of Loaf
sugar.
There were smiles of thanks,
grateful words of delighted ap-
probation from these children OF
Paris, starved for sweets through
40 many weary months.
But them pause.
A few of the scores of children ats
their sugar joyously; others looked at
1t longingly: but most a II was al

Then came surprised questioning
from those giving and serving the

Yes, yes, every one loved sugar
but" and then It was discovered tina,
each small person had the same
thought, born Of the wonderful spirit
Of France, quite without other prompt
ing.
II the sugar wepe taken home. saved
