that this is contrary To the food regula-

The attention of the food officials was
drawn To this fact, bv the unusually large
orders for canned goods and staples
placed with the wholesalers by retail
dealers. The orders were greater than
the previous volumn of business of tho
retailer had been. An invest igation was
made. and it was learned that the excess
orders were not confined To n single
dealer. but that the effort was more
general.
This information led to the Food Ad
ministrator notifying the retailers TO buy

If food is bought in proper quantities,
there is enough for every one but If the
plan of buying in larger amounts than the

TWO JACKS AND PEGGY.

Once there lived in toy shop Jump
ing Jack and n funny Jack-in-a-box,

shop always made Jack jump by pulling
the string that worked his arms and legs.
Jack-In-a-box, too, was popped up

all the other toys began to think they
would never stand the least bit of show
with the children SO long as the Jacks
remained in the shop.
On the same table by the door where
the Jacks were placed were many other
toys, and among them a little wooden
doll, with arms and legs that were fastened
together with pegs so they could be moved
Peggy she was called, and while Peggy
was far from being handsome, both the
Jacks fell IN love with her and each OF
them hoped the other would bet he first
to leave the tov shop, so he might be
left alone with his Peggy
Day after day passed and the children
came and went and took away other toys,
but still both Jacks renamed, as well
as little wooden Peggy; for, while the
children all loved to play with all three,
It was always another toy they chose
to carry away with them
At last one sad day ut was sad for
the Jacks. anyway, little boy came
INTO the toy shop and made wooden
