List Of Substitutes.

IlSt OF substitutes.
Here is the list of substitutes Of
fered by the administration which
the wholesaler and retailer have to
choose from and to offer to the con.
sumner:
Corn flour. corn meal. edible corn
starch, hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour
huckwheat, cotton seed flour, milo,
kaffir, feterita,; SOY bean flour, pea.
nut Hour, cassava, taro flour, banana
flour.
Graham and rye are not consider
ed as substitutes under this order.
The penalty for violation of the
order is a term of two years in one
of the federal prisons, either Leavan-
worth or Atlanta, or paying fine Of
S., 900.
The food administration figures
that by eating more hominy, oatmeal
and rice, there will be less demand
for bread By using corn flour, pc.
tato flour and the like considerable
saving will be made.
Substitutes to be Available.
1t is probable that the new order
will be the means of prodding the To-
cal grocers a little and making them
get in some of the wheat flour sub
stitutes, which they have heretofore
not handled. but which grocers in
Burlin gton and other nearby cities
are handling. 1t has been impossible
to get barley meal and barley flour,
sage meal, soy bean meal and potato
and rice flours here, although Food
Administrator Deems finds all OF
these products are obtainable in Bur-
lington and 1t is understood tina;
other towns in this vicinity are car.
rying these wheat substitutes.
The local wholesalers are going to
watch their shipments to the retails
very carefully and the retailer is not
going to do any edging over on this
order with such a penalty staring him
in the face. The fifty-fifty order is
going to mean war bread, and bring
it right away.

ada sent us last year nearly 1oo00o, VOV pounds of crab meat.
 Not the least remarkable feature of thls change in our trade relations of 260,O0o,- GOO pounds of cocoanut oil and nearly 500,000 900 pounds of copra from which CO., coanut oil is obtained. This enormous increase is due to the utilization of CO., coanut oil, by processes recently invent ed, as a substitute for butter. Very large quantities of so-called nut butter are now being sold at price which is at least 50 per cent less than the price charged for tub butter Four hundred million pounds of cocoa were bought in tropical countries and then brought to the United States. Many persons have turned to the use of honey so that they could thereby make good in some meas ure the loss of sugar. That resulted in a purchase in other countries of honey of the value of $t,000,Oe0 although prior to 1914 the import of honey amounted to very little. So that if we are exporting food products in enormous quantities (we may have to export 22,000,00O tons of food in various forms within the next l2 months), we are also chief among the im- porting nations of the world with re- spect to certain food commodities, chiefly those that are produced in tropical coun- tries

PROF. E. HUDSON sTRoDE's


 The Tuscaloosa News of recent date says:
 Don't fall to read Prof F. Hudson Strodes latest story, Number %" which appears in the November issue of Me Clures, for 1t is a veritable gem. The illustrations are by Clarence Underwood and the story is a charming one telling of a man who died for France. There is stirring patriotism, mingled with a sacred duty which adds pathos and one finds himself first pitying, then griev ing with the hero whose past as a French bla was enviable, whose present duty to a weak but sick wife was most im- polling, despite the call to duty. In the eyes of the world he was looked upon as a slacker-this noble brave-the death scene of his wife and baby was pathet- ically depicted by MT. Strode, the return of the soldier-who was every inch anan-to his native heath in France, his joining the army as a private after hav ing served so gallantly as an officer, his imprisonment as a deserter by his staunchest friends, the four months Of confinement and sudden death is realis tic and holds the reader throughout the story. MT. Strode is universally admired in this city where he was first stu dent and later a professor in the Uni versity of Alabama, and of all the choice bits that this young but brilliant author has contributed to the world nothing has appeared more impeling, more realistic, more heart rending than Number 29,' which is in this months McClure's.''

FORT DEPOSIT

Fort Deposit, October 21.-(Speeial3 When the people were called upon to lend their money in the fourth Liberty Loan, Lowndes county's quota was Sl5, 500 Within a few days this amount was over subscribed, and Cecil E. Hawkins, coun- ty chairman, stated in his last report that the people of Lowndes had already subscribed s5l,000, and much more would be taken. This splendid response is large ly due to the efficient management Of Chairman Hawkins, who has sacrificed his business interests to a large degree, in order that Lowndes county would be among the first to go over the top, and too much cannot be said in praise for his untiring efforts which have been crowned with gratifying results

 clever thought dawned upon me: HI
 call up some of my friends over the
 phone and talk to them and see if they've
 carried out a programme similar to mine during the influenza quarantine, :" and then I remembered that nice MT. George Knox, the affable and splendid manager of the Southern Bell Telephone company, was beseeching us through flaming headlines in the newspapers to eliminate ordinary business or social calls, so that the traffic may be re- duced to the point where it can be ham died efficiently by the limited number of operators who are able to perform their duties, and then l began to feel sorry for those dozens of bright busy little telephone operators who are ill with "the flu" Finally I began to read; I read chapter after chapter of the Bible to get interested in stories in the Bible that I haven't read for years; 1 read and I read and 1 read and then l read some more then l turned to the newspapers; I read every single blessed line in all three of the daily apers (in- cluding every "ad" from marked down shirt waists and petticoats" to Girls, beautify your hair with Danderine," and Tonight, take Dodsons Liver Tone, bet ter than calomel, for the liver" And then turning to the ''want column, 1 thought of some amusingly worded ads" I'd seen and ran over them in my mind.

 and believed me it's been some dull prosy boring old time.
 l just came to the conclusion that the best thing to do was to start right at

 the most deadly dull -passivity and so these are some of the things that up to Saturday at 6 D. m. 1 had done, and I'm sure you'll agEee with me that the list embraces everything under the shining Cor unshining sum that any nice re- spectable female lady could do
