touching entertainment was given
him by the members of his class
who were dressed IN Khaki. At the
lsound of the cannon the curtain
rose and the boys sang the Star

recited by Lessly Gardiner, after
which Edward Duouisson delivered

Very Rev. M. A. Grace, S. j.,

the faculty and students for all the
services rendered to the institution.
Father King told the boys he greatly
appreciated their entertainment, and
hoped that he will see them again.
HE stated that while the soldiers are
giving up everything for their coun-
try, he wished to go and look after
the interest of their souls. Before
concluding his address, he gave the
Students a half-holiday. On Monday
morning his class escorted him to
the station where he boarded the
Southern Pacific train, going first to
New Orleans.

ADVISES PRESERVING OF
ALL SURPLUS FRUIT
Application Must be Made for Per
mission to Use Sugar and the
Quantity Required

The Clarion has received from Rev.
Father M. A. Grace of Grand Coteau,
parish food administrator, the follow
ing copy OF a letter from Leland Fl.
Moss of Lake Charles, food admin
istrator for the seventh congress
ionaI district, and we gladly give
pace in our columns for it.:
Lake Charles, April S 1918.
Father M. A. Grace, Parish Food Adj
ministrator. Grand Coteau La:
Dear Sir--I am just in receipt of
Ia letter from Hon. John M. Parker,
federal food administrators for Louis
lana, in which the two following i'm
portant rulings are made:
Frst-The u. S. Food Administra-
ton is encouraging the preserving Of
fruit and similar products even
though the process requires the use
of a little sugar. 1t believes that pre-
serves will prevent the food from 20
ing to waste and increase the food
upply and that the use of preserves
takes the place of other sweets
which use much more sugar than
would be employed in the preserving
process. For that reason persons
may be allowed to buy more than the
specified limit of sugar upon app,i-
cation setting forth that tho sugar
is desired for use solely for preserv-
ing fruits and that it will be used
for NJ other purpose giving the
quantity of sugar required in each
instance.
These applications must be signed
by the responsible head Of the family
and kept of record by the dealer
furnishing the extra sugar or by the
local association having charge of
the food administration in any town.
1t will be the patriotic duty of
each food dealer to see that this rul-
ing is not violated or abused.
Second-It is permissible to sell
Irish potatoes as a substitute along
with flour in the proportion of four
pounds of potatoes to one pound of
flour.
Please communicate these rulings
to all of the grocery dealers in
your parish.
Vesy truly yours,
LELAND H. MOSS,
Food Administrators Seventh Con-

The Rehabilitation of Our
Wounded

Perhaps none OF the various uses 10
which the proceeds of the Liberty
Loan are to be devoted appeals more
strongly to the American people than
the rehabilitation and re-education
of our wounded men. {. To teach these
men. to train and fit them for useful
and gainful occupations, when by rea-
son of loss OF sight or limbs or other
injuries they are rendered unable to
pursue ordinary vocations, is a work
in which every American has a heart
fek interest.
Compensation will be allowed them
and family allowances will be paid
their families as II they were in actual
service while they are taking the
training, and every method known TO
science will be used to restore our
wounded men to health and useful
ness.
This work has been delegated by
Congress to the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education. The board pub
fishes at Washington a monthly bulle-
tin, dealing with its work, called The
Vocational Summary, which will be
sent free to anyone upon request.
