lotted large contracts for alcohol. The

selling developed which carried the

by reports on a food administration

Varying Expression. Of Love.

1t is In keeping the love Of others
that most of us woefully fail. And we
fail very largely because We are not
careful in expressing love. Here we
ought not to be confused by terms.
Expressing love does not necessarily
mean using the language OF endaar.
ment. On the contrary, those who
love most deeply are likely to be the
least given to endearing terms. The
use of endearing terms may indicate
the absence of deep love, or the alb.
sence Of any love.

sneeze Affects Entire Body.

Will a bright light Cause you to
sneeze? 1t does some people, Just as
do dust, flower pollen and cold. Dust
and pollen cause irritation in the nos
trils and the sneeze Is natures way
OF stopping the irritation. by violently
removing the irritant. The sneeze
from cold, however, Is different
process on the part of mother nature.
While the dust or pollen sneeze is
confined to the nose, the cold sneeze
is an act Of the entire body and the
nose Is simply the scene Of the ex.
plosion. When the body Is unduly
cold, 1t makes spasmodic effort to
warm the system and thus Jerks up
every muscle. The act eliminates in
the nose.

Record Kept Of Sugar Sales

All retail groeers of Umatilla
county have been instructed to keep
a record of all sugar sales from
August lst. These records will be
turned in to the county admins
tration at the end of the month
and will later be used by the Off.
cials in checking up the individual
consumers to see that they Rave
not purchased more than their
two pounds per month per person.
Later on, it is anticipated, the
state administration will issue in
dividual sugar cards.
Should the records show that
any person has, by buying from
several different stores, exceeded
his monthly allowance, the admin
istration has authority to prohibit
the offender from securing any su-
gar for such period as the admins
tration may fix, or the offender is
subject to prosecution under the
boarding act.
Special permits for canning sugar
are still being issued by the admin
istration upon statements showing
the amount of fruit which a person
desires to can. However. permits
will not be issued for sugar to
make jellies, jams or rich preserves
these being considered table lux
uries. In this connection, to help
out the housewife, Miss. Lorene
Parker, the home demonstration
agent, has prepared recipe to
make jelly by using white corn
syrup as a substitute for sugar,
and will furnish the same to anyone
upon application.
