What DR.. Petit Said When Madge
Told Him She Was Going to
Find Work.

ITO speak plainly DR.. Petit said
graveIy. your father has very little
money at present. His check to you
wiped out most of his bank balance,
and his income is just now a very
small one compared to what it has
been, The bulk of his fortune, I'M
fortunately, is invested in securities,
which, because of the war. are prac-
ideally worthless now, although some
of them may regain their value later
on But he will be compelled to re-
trench his mode of living, and he has
asked to be given work again in the
service, in whatever place they can
use him.

'1t's UnthinkabIe.

AS I spoke of going to work, DR..
Petit uttered a muffled exclamation to
which I paid no attention. Now he
interrupted me ruthlessly, emphati-
cally.

words, [ knew, were prompted by a
very real regard for me, a feeling
which longed to protect me from
hardship. But there was something
else behind his vehemence. AS If a
curtain suddenly had been lifted from
his soul I saw that Dicky's objections
to any outside work for me, his flip
pant opposition to any self-develop-
ment upon the part of a wife, were
like straws in the wind compared to
the granite of this man bigoted, old
fashioned theories. I had a quick vi

would fall to the lot of DR. Petits

cheeks flushed with shame at the
thought that sometimes I had unfav-

said bitterly.
such a speech is hardly worthy of
you,' DR.. Petit said with grave re-
proof. You ought to know that your
father is only too glad to aid you, and
that no sacrifice Is too great for him
to make if your welfare is at stake"
But he must not go back to the

take up work like that again.

he weren't obliged to do it, but it will
not kill him. probably not even seri-

An impressive service was held in
the United Presbyterian church Sun
day in honor Of the young men of the
congregation and community who
have entered or are about to en-
ter the country's service. The church
decorated with flags and flowers. The
choir contributed special music. The
pastor gave a brief message on the
topic, "Fellow- workers for the
Truth" with special application to
our soldiers and all who actively es-
pouse the cause of freedom, right
eousness and truth. A beautiful
service flag containing ten stars, for
the young men WHO have already
gone out from this community, was
presented to the congregation by Ar
thur Uric on behalf of the Sunday

representing the name of Paul H.
Hartman, who died last January at
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. G. The

gift for the congregation and led in
| the prayer of dedication. A marble
memorial tablet, suitably engraved
to the memory of Paul Hartman,
was unveiled and presented to the
congregation by Paul Heidger,
speaking for the Sabbath school and
| Christian Endeavor society which to-
gether made the gift. The tablet
will be permanently placed in the
church. Alex Shields in accepting it
for the congregation spoke touching
ly of the life and influence OF Paul
| Hartman. Miss Mary Bailey, prin-
cipal of Craftsbury academy, fol-
| lowed with feeling words Of testi-
mony to the life of Paul Hartman as
she had known him as student. In
concluding the service the pastor
spoke of the challenge to self-deny-
ing and patriotic service to which the
example of these young men, who
are giving all for their country sum-
mons us. The choir then sang, "God
Save Our Splendid Men," and the
congregation Joined in singing,
"America."

We have lived and had our being
with the British so long that We feel
almost like Britons. We have been
with Tommie. Canuck, Aussie, Anzac,
South African and Jock for nearly q
year now and know them pretty well.
Tommie is a much misunderstood
human by the Yanks. He is quiet and
does not respond as quickly to your
advances as the others. It's his ma

it'll do you good to hear him sing.
Canuck is like your half brother.
You always feel at home with him,
Aussie is a type by himself: They
are all volunteers. They are fierce
fighters in the line or out and yet
they are good scouts. They like the
Yanks and you take to them instinc-
lively. Better look out or they'll out
bull you every time which would be
a calamity for a real Yank.

is very much like yourself. You won't
see him much because there are not
many of him over here. The same
applies TO the South Africans, who re-

But Jock. There's a lad after your
own heart. He is just an irresistible
boy. You don't feel like smiling when
you see him in kilts-that is, after you
know him.

DON'T NEED G

That sugar Is not a physiological
necessity but merely a cultivate. taste
Is the assertion of Prof. Eva r. Rob
inson, director of home economics al
the state university at Vermillion
Miss Robinson points out that the
present shortage in sugar in the Unit
ed States has emphasized the fact
that Americans who are wholly
worthy the name, can and will do
without 1t without any harm resulting.
AS to the food value, the same nutri.
ton ear be obtained from a starchy
food and the sweet taste that people
crave, can be found in substitutes
such as corn syrup, karo syrup, ma
pie syrup and honey.
Especially is 1t possible to use
these substitutes in cooking, says Miss
Robinson. Cakes, cookies, custards,
ice creams and buildings are just as
satisfactory when the syrup or honey
is used.
Canning can be accomplished also
without sugar, says Miss Robinson to
the housewives. She advises canning
by the cold pack method or cooking
