June U-boat Losses Of Allies
Announced in Senate.

Washington, June 21.-Allied and

U-boats in the first tWentyejght day $

cord.ng To estimates made by the na-
Wy department.
Senator Beckham, Democrat, Ken
lucky, announced this in the senate.
If the same ratio holds good. navy
department Officials estimated the ell
tire months - would amount to
25S,611 tons. Senator Beckham said.
These figures We're given to the SEN
ate, he asserted, to refute a statement
made on the floor by Senator McCum
Der. Republican,. North Dakota. tha
the losses in May amounted to 640C0
ions.
Senator McCumber replied his state
ment was based on a despatch from
Amsterdam, which gave the losses.
according to German reports, at 6l4.-
600 IONS BY mistake he had placed
them at 100000 tons

SUGAR WILL GO hOl,iiil!3
IF none is Wasted

Because the supply of sugar is not
large enough to meet the country s
normal demand and, at the same time,
build UP reserve to take care of any
emergency, the Food Administration
has set two pounds as the largest pur-
chase a city householder can make at
one time except for canning or pre-
serving, when a written certificate will
permit the buying of rs pounds. In
the country, where shopping is not
so easy, the allowance is five pounds
for general use and so pounds for
preserving. 1t is further stipulated
that all sugar not used in the latter
way must be returned
There is plenty Of sugar awaiting
shipment from Cuba, but for two rea-
sons the amount reaching the United
States Is variable and small. Some
dealers there have been holding out
for more than a fair price. And, Sec
ondly. the demand upon ship tonnage
for wheat-carriage overseas does not
leave many vessels available to ply
between West Indian and American
ports. Thus our supply is far below
normal and it is up to US so to adj
just our demand that that reduced sup
ply will still go round and meet all
actual needs.
Fortunately, there are plenty of sub
stitute sweCteners such as honey, corn
syrup, and maple syrup, which will
amply take the place Of sugar Per-
haps they will cost little more-but
after all this war is rather an eXpen-
sive business. Experiment with these
substitutes and let your fellow=patriots
know of your successes. One club has
eliminated sugar from its ice cream,
using the three above-named ,substi-
tutes instead. Most of the members
are epicures, but they haven't sus-
pected the change. AS the steward
said to a Food Administration repre-
sentative, What they don't know
won't hurt them"
Hotels and restaurants, as usual, are
cooperating towards reducing the con-
sumption Of sugar. One successful
device is to keep the sugar bowl out
OF sight and serve that precious sweet
ener only on demand. The same prac-
tice is recommended by the Food Ad-
ministration to all Maryland homes.
In Canada where the shortage Is
even greater than in the U. S. A, only
two teaspoonfuls or the lump equiv
alent are permitted with one order
It is usually served in small envelopes.
At other places two tiny cubes are
presented on a small saucer, which
certainly impresses upon the patron
the value of what he is getting. Some
times these cubes are wrapped in
paper but, in the experience Of one
restauranteur, that offered too great
a temptation for some lady patrons.
So much went home in their handbags
that he now serves graduated sugar
in nuted paper such as candies some
times come in.
There are many ways Of saving
sugar. Try them all. Avoid waste
and use substitutes.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh which
is an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood Oh the mu-
cous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness

tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
