IN these times of high prices and the sugar
trust, it is refreshing to learn that 800 years ago
druggists sold sugar at $500 per ounce. Thank
the Lord our condition could have been worse.

FOOD ORDERS ARE OBSERVED
Meatless and Wheatless Menu In Con-
nection With Lord Mayors Annual
Banquet at Mansion House.

At last the gaunt figure of famine
has stalked into the Mansion House
and edited the menu of the lord may
or's banquet. There, everybody who
knows anything about English history
or about good eating, knows that the
center, the very palate, of gourmand-
Use is situated, according to a London
correspondent.
The British empire is ransacked for
edibles and potables to furnish forth
this aldermanic holiday, And when
the OCCASIONS star guest, the premier,
rises to shake the pillars of the world
with his address, the guests are often
in such a STATE of torpor hat they
have to scar the morning papers to
find ont what he really said. But war
has changed all that. When the time
for this years banquet approached,
London's sensational press began TO
shout for a war men so loudly that
his lordship had to come out and as
sur the reporters of the meatlessness
and wheatlessness of the coming feast.
Another of England's glories vanished !

BOY ROBBER LOST HIS NERVE
Youth Reported Alleged Visit OF Band
it, But Later Mas Induced to Pro-
duce Stolen JeweIry.

A thrilling story Of guns, masks ana
robbery. which had stirred a country
neighborhood by its recital, melted into
the make-believe of a yellO-back novel,
once investigators were on the JOB,
says the indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons. which is SAID
to have occurred behind a farmers
barn, led to the recovery of loot in
the form of jewelry and a confession
from a boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of a dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called In by neigh
bors after the boy, whose name Is
purposely withheld, had communicated
to persons with whom he lived thai
a very dark man, wearing n mask over
his face, had visited his home while
he was alone that he had been threat
ened with a shotgun and, after rifiins
the house, had forced the boy TO leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related. the stranger
gave him % cents and told him TO
keep his mouth shut" A duck and a
Belgian hare also were taken, the boy
declared.
When the sheriff arrived there was
a consultation behind the barn, and
when it had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out of the ground,
told his friends that he had sold tn
duck at a nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on his way to the gro
Gerry, and that the masked man was
the creation of his W Imagination.
"Give him another chance" the sher-
if told the guardians of the hayward
boy. "He won't do it again"
The boy nodded confirmation.

Modern Soldiers Equipment.

The equipment of "a French Infantry
man in Napoleon's day consisted Of u
gun and a knapsack. Today the soldier
carries an array of death-dealing weap-
as complete as that of the arsenal
itself, according to Popular Science
Monthly.
Hand grenades and gun grenades,
wire shears, and a rife are carried by
the foot soldiers in the advance. Pick
AK and shovel he must have when he
reaches the trenches. Signal lanterns
and sky rockets must also be carried
by the officers TO keep headquarters
constantly in touch with the progress
of the fight.
The periscope and the gas alarm are
as necessary as gun. Add to all these
the other implements of war and you
will understand why physical fitness is
the principal consideration in the ex-
animation of recruits.

MOUNT VERNON DRAWS MANY
Noted Envoys From Allies and Thou
sands of Others Pay Visit to
Washington's Tomb.

Peaceful and stately as usual, Mount
N...u today seems hapi.iy uat"'r
scious OF the very existence oI ~"I'
Yet the war has had its effect on TINS
mecca of America, for more people
have visited ii in recent months than
in any similar period in its history.
Washington, the center of things
military and diplomatic, has since
April 1917, opened its gates to 5O,OOo
new residents come to take up the
work of a government at war. Ihou-
sands of these Americans a k h hrst
opportunity to visit the home OF the
greatest American.
Besides these, ENJOYS from our allies
on diplomatic mission to the United
States make a point of journeying 10
Mount Vernon to honor Washington.
They travel as guests of the nation, In
the presidents yacht Maylower. The
Mayflower has already made four trips
of this sort. First she carried Balfour
and Marshal Joffre, then the Italian
mission, then the Belgian and Russian
missions together, and lastly the Jap
anese viscount and his party.
Each time the iron gates Of Wash
ington's tomb swung open for these
men to place their wreaths on the
shrine within, while the diplomats, with
the problems of the world on their
shoulders, paid tribute to the man who
carried similar burdens faithfully and
well a century ago.
The record for the largest number or
visitors to Mount Vernon In a day was
very nearly set at the time of the con-
federate reunion, when 1000 of the old
soldiers and their friends visited the
estate in one day.

Sewing Machines In Arabia.

The sale of sewing machines in
Arabia has increased since the war
begun, owing in part to the demand
of Red Cross organizations. A recent
shipment Of 600 American machines.
according to a correspondent, will be
disposed of as follows: One hundred
In Alden, 200 In Abyssinia, 100 In Red
Sea ports and 200 In the Persian Gulf
district. There is also an increased
demand on the part of the natives.
Germany formerly supplied the terri
tory with cheap machines, but the
stocks of these are low, and American
products now lead. Foot-power sew
ing machines are In growing prefer
ence over the hand-operated type, but
Observation-Disclosures machines cannot be
sold. as there is no general electric
service plant In Alden. Dust and rust
are difficulties experienced In the use
Of the machines In the Arabian cli-
mate.

TEMPERED BY TRADE WINDS
Climate of the Dominican Republic
Pleasant and S~alubrious, Says
Consul Arthur Mclean.

There seems to be an impression
abroad that the climate of the Do
minican Republic is hot, humid, and
unhealthful, writes Consul Arthur Me
Lean, Puerto Plata. While the climate
Of this republic is tropical, IL Is pleas
ant and salubrious. Although IL is
very warm during the middle of the
day. the temperature even in summer
seldom reaches 80 degrees F., and the
nights at all seasons are cool and
pleasant. The climate is tempered by
the trade winds which blow almost con-
tinueusly during the day, and at night
the land breeze from the mountains Is
equally refreshing. Owing to the great
diversity Of its relief the island of
Santo Domingo presents a wider range
of climate than any other part of the
Antilles. The mean annual tempera-
ture of the coast towns is about 10
degrees f. 1t is cooler inland, the
temperature varying with the attitudes.
In the valley of Constanza, which Is
about the center Of the island, at an
elevation of $500 rect ice forms In
winter occasionally.
The rainfall varies In different sec
tons of the island from Is to 200
inches per annum. In the southern
part of the island there is a marked
distinction between the dry and rainy
seasons. The dry season Is during the
months of September TO March, while
the rainy season extends from April
to August. In the northern half of the
island ii rains more or less all the
year, although the heaviest rainfall oc-
ours from November to April.
There have never been any epidemics
of cholera and bubonic plague, and 1t
is many years since there has been any
yellow fever in the Dominican Repub-
lie.

Alcohol for Fuel.

A committee of Australian scientists
is investigating the possibilities of
commercial alcohol in place of gaso-
line as a fuel for internal combus-
ton engines, notes a correspondent.
They find that an engine can easily
be run on alcohol and that It's thermal
efficiency, when so run, is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gaso-
line, and somewhat cheaper by the
quart, II it is to be as economical a
fuel in terms of dollars and cents.
Moreover, an engine will not start
from q cold condition on alcohol.

oneninn of Suez Canal.

SIT cannot be made, it shall not be
made, 1t will not be made; but If it
were made, there would be a war be-
tween England and France for the pos
session of Egypt" 81 said Lord Palm
erston, in 1851, with regard to the then
proposed Suez canal.
Nevertheless the forty-eighth ami
versary of the Inauguration of the for
hidden waterway has passed, writes a
London correspondent. The first feet,
consisting of 40 vessels, passed
through next day, on November II,
1869. The greatest draught vas only
10 feet. How many of those who par
ticipated in the Inauguration ~survivei

Lantern on Broadway.

The dimming of the white lights In
New York has brought the jokers to
the fore. Recently after the current
had been turned Off a man walked up
the big street with a lighted lantern.
He wendell his way across Broadway.
and after swinging the lantern about
his head much after the fashion of
trainmen signaling. he continued up
the street. He had sown seeds that
began to sprout in many directions and
a few minutes later rival humorists
appeared with lanterns, electric fash
lights, and one optimist tried to keep
a candle going as he walked down to-
ward Times Square.

Meat is the natural diet Of the wild
dog and should be an important item
in the sporting dogs diet, observes
Outing. So long as 1t is untainted it
makes little difference whether 1t is
horse, beef or mutton, but pork is not
so good, and any quantities of fat
should o be fed. Generally 1t is
best to cook the meat in a sort of
stew with vegetables mixed, but occa-
sionally a dinner of raw lean meat is
a welcome change and serves as a
tonic and mild laxative. During the
hunting season 1T is a mighty good
Sunday dinner for the shooting dog.

Hia Sacrifices.

"Are you reducing your expenses,
Billf' Indeed / am. A man can't
stand this high cost of living on the
salary he gets. I've cut out the wife's
weekly matinee, countermanded her
new suit, discharged the nurse, made
the kids give up moving pictures and

for the baby and chloroformed the cat
to save its living expenses. But If
this sort'of thing keeps on l may have

FOOD THE SOLDIER REQUIRES
Twelve Ounces Of Meat or Its Equiva-
lent, Fruits, Fat, Bread or Cereal,
Sugar or Sirup.

The general knows to a nicely just
what part each regiment is to play In a
campaign, and the girl may learn to
marshal the foods represented in the
five great groups so that she knows
just which group of foods will pro-
vide strong muscles to carry the sol
der into battle, which will furnish
strong bones to meet the onslaught,
which the heat for the struggle, and
finally, how much driving-power is
needed to carry it through, according
to Winifred Stuart Gibbs in st. Mich
olas.
So, then, when we marshal u forces
we find that a man needs in a day
II ounces of one, or of a combination,
of the following: Meat, poultry,
cheese, dried vegetables, fish or eggs.
To vary the above he may count every
glass of milk drunk equal to an ounce
of any one of the others.
The soldiers, either in home or mill
tary life, must have four pounds of
fresh fruit and vegetables in order to
keep the bony structure in good condi-
ton. He will need the three-quarters
of a cupful of fat (this includes but
ter, Oil, the fat of meat eaten, or any
other fat in the daily diet) to keep
him warm, and to this group he must
add one and one-fourth pounds of
bread or cereal; and finally, in order
to complete the necessary amount of
driving-power, he must have two
ounces of sugar or one-third of a cup
full of strip.
