received the conditions of the armi- stice.
 After the blockade, those condi- tions, especially the surrender of means of transport and the sustenance of the troops. of occupation, would make it impossible to provide Ger many with food and would cause the starvation of millions of men, women and children, all the more as the blockade is to continue.
 We had to accept the conditions but feel it is our duty to draw the Presidents attention most solemnly and in all earnestness to the fact that enforcement of the conditions mus produce amongst the German people feelings contrary to those upon which alone the reconstruction of the com. munity of nations can rest, guaran teeing a just and durable peace.
 '"The German people, therefore, II this Hateful hour, address themselves | again to the President with the re quest that he use his influence witl the allied powers in order to mitigate these fearful conditions"

 Movement.

John W. Strawbridge of the United States Bureau of Marketing, was at the federal building this morning and told how successful the Farm to Table," campaign which started near ly three months ago, was in Bridge port. His associate H. A. Spilman, has been detained in coming here on account of an attack of the influen- ga. Both men will make a thorough survey of the zone around and in the vicinity of this city for the purpose of establishing direct communication between the consumer and the pro- ducer through parcel post.
 Cards and circulars have been sent out explaining the method in which housewives can easily obtain their farm productA butter, eggs, dressed poultry, potatoes, hams and a great variety of other perishable articles di- rectly from the farm by way of par eel post. This system will organize means by which the consumer can ob- tain goods that are fresh and at a more reasonable price than elsewhere. However, the post office does not guarantee the quality of goods. The only immediate profit Otfsred the buyers is the fact that these articles are obtainable direct from the pur- ducer.
 Cards to be filled out, stating what products one wishes may he obtain able at the local post office sub-sta- tions, or at the post office on Broad street. There are also large lists containing the names of producers and the articles that they have for sale. The producer is also furnished with cards on which he gives his name and the products he has for sale. list of the names of the producers will be printed in this paper soon. This list also contains the various pro- ducts each producer has for sale.
 Over three hundred families in this city have already tried the plan and find it excellent.

HOUSEWIVES FINED FOR Ex-
CEEDING SUGAR ALLOTMEN

The earnestness of the Food Admin
istration in enforcing the sugar regu-
lations has been evidenced many times
by penalizations of retailers, bakers
and manufacturers. Now it empha-
sizes .he necessity for householders
keeping within their allotment of two
pounds per person per month by pun
ishing violators.
Housewives of Watertown who eX-
ceeded their allotment for July were
requested to contribute to the Red
Cross dollar pound on every pound
they bought in excess of their allot-
ment. The grocer who was careless
enough to sell them excess amounts
of sugar was also fined on the same
basis.

POETS AND THEIR MESSAGE
Writer Thinks Women Would Benefit
by Learning Few Lines of
Poetry Every Day.

Mothers cannot live on bread alone !;
It takes more than furniture to COM
plete a home. A house may be well
appointed in it's every detail, but it
does not truly become q home until
love and beauty have entered into it's
makeup. Amid our daily distractions
and concerns poetry goes far toward
tightening the burdens and alternating
the discords. It is a daily refuge from
the petty worries and an inspiration
for spiritual growth.
Learn a few lines Of poetry each
day while you work. You will be sur
prised how it will brighten the day.
BY the light of the poets message
nothing will appear common or insig-
nificant, but all things will be
touched with finer and deeper mean
ings. Every heartache and regret, ev-
cry hope and aspiration, you will find
expressed by some one of our magic
singers. All mothers are poets at
heart, and in true reality belong to the
great fellowship of singers who are
keeping messages of beauty and love

Quered in the fourteenth century by

Between 1854 and 1855 all the Ukraine
east of the Dnieper. and in 1893 the
portion west Of the river, passed under
the rule Of the cZarS. The population
Is chiefly Little Russian, with a con-
siderable number Of Moldavians. The
little Russians are of the Slavonic
stock. but many years ago underwent

CORN SYRUP GOOD
FOR CANNING
Gives Heat and Energy to the Body
Says DR.. j. E. Evans Of the
University of Wisconsin.

The false rumor that eating corn
syrup will give diabetes is corrected
by DR.. Joseph F. Evans Of the Medi-
cal Department Of the University of
Wisconsin.
Corn syrup is splendid heat pro
ducing and energy-giving food" says
DR.. Evans.
ut contains glucose, dextrose, sugar
and deXtrine.
'Dextrine is the result of the partial
digestion of starch and is one step
in the change Of food to glucose. The
body cannot use starch as a food until
the digestion operates and changes it
to glucose. One half of cane or beet
sugar and part of meat must be
changed by the digestion into glucose
before it gives energy and heat to the
body. If it were not for this change
into glucose, we would die for lack OF
power to produce enough heat and en-
ergy for work.
1.-THE fullest experiments have shown
no difference in food value between
natures glucose and the commercial
glucose called corn syrup. 1t is q
fine substitute for sugar in canning

SUGAR SAVING METHODS
ARE GIVEN TO HOTELS
Public Eating Places Not to Have
Sugar Over Their otment-Must
Economic or Be Without.

To assist prOprietOrs Of public eat
ing places to keep within the sugar
allowance of 2 pounds for ninety
meals served, the Hotel Division Of
the Food Administration has studied
methods of sugar service in the diff
ferent states. The following sugges-
lions seemed to work out the most
successfully:
Sugar bowls should not be placed
upon tables.
Before sugar is served, the waiter
should always ask the patron
so what kind.
For coffee or tea, hot or iced, two
half Jumps only or one teaspoon
full of granulated sugar.
For a demi-tasse or small cup Of
Coffee one half lump only or one
half teaspoonful Of graduated.
For cereal or fruit, one teaspoonful
only of sugar. If a patron orders
cereal and fruit, no more than one
teaspoonful should be served for
both.
''It should be definitely understood"
says A. H. Melville, Executive Secre-
tary for the Wisconsin Food Admins
tration, that no public eating place
will be given any sugar above their
specified allotment. Most of the pro
prietors understand this, but many are
using more sugar than they can afford
to. Unless they adopt some method
of limiting the service of sugar, they
will find themselves without any sugar
at all at the end of the month"

SUED ARTAXERXES FOR LIBEL
Record of BabyIonian Court Shows
That Xenophon Was Peeved Over
Published Article.

We hasten to announce that Keno
phon sued ArtaXerXes for libel 5000
years ago, alleging his good name had
been damaged to the tune Of so talents
of silver by the publication Of a de-
famatOry article. The Minneapolis
Tribune's reporter fell down woefully
on this story, that newspaper admits,
and says: For the scoop" we are in
debted to an Oxford professor, who got
it from the records on an ancient tab
let in the possession Of the University
of Pennsylvania.
How the records came to be abstract
ed from the Babylonian court files we
have no opinion. We only surmise that
the clerk may have been a boon com
panion Of Artaxerxes or that the man
aging editor Of the BabylOnian, being
the presiding genius over a yellow
sheet, instructed his courthouse man
to fitch the tablet in order to beat the
Tidings to the story.
Whether the defendant was fore
bear of LOngimanus Artaxerxes, or
MnenOn ArtaXerXes or Ochus Ar
taXerxes, the Persian kings who
reigned from the fifth to the third
century before the Christian era, the
tablet does not indicate, as it appears
only to bear the praecipe. Nor is the
identity Of the complainant clear. He
couldn't have been the Greek chap who
wrote the "Anabasis" because that
XenOphOn, if the histories are correct,
was born about $500 years after this
suit was filed.
Yes, it must have been in the stone
age that this bit of litigation was
started. If ArtaXcrxes settled out of
court or XenOphon had the suit dis
missed on his own account, the case
was quite simple, but if it went to
trial before jury, the licensed dray-
men Of Babylon must have had a busy
week hauling evidence around. Fancy
counsel for the prosecution having his
henchmen move ten tons Of stone to
prove up on a dinky little point in
the evidence!
