Can Get Three Pounds of Sugar.

Beginning last Friday the amount OF
sugar allowed each person was increas'
ed from two to three pounds per month
and the existing regulations are further
revised so that any person may pur-
chase the whole monthly allowance a
one time; that is to say, the head of any
family may purchase the months suppl
for the entire family in one purchase
from tile retail stores on the basis o!
three pounds for every member Of the
family.
This relaxation of the two -pound-a-
month order is due to the rapid manu-
facture of the new crop beet sugar il
the West and the new crop Louisian;
cane sugar in the South, together witt
the free railway transportation condi
tons, the reductions that have beer
made in the consumption of sugar ir
the manufacturing stage, as we'll as the
patriotic conservation Of the American
people in the past four months.

Letter From William L. Miller.

William l.. Miller, son of our fellow
townsman, Vim. K. Miller, has written
a letter from France to his father, from
which we quote as follows:
This is my first opportunity in
month to write TO you, for | certainly
have been doing some traveling-hrst
one place and then another. | will be
glad when We finally get settled, but
there doesn't seem much chance to stay
in one place long. France is quite
picturesque country and the farms are
beautiful, but they have a different
way of farming to what they do in our
section. have noticed very little fruit.
with the exception of grapes. but there
are oceans Of them. Every place you
look you see grapes, as you know France
is strong for its wine. That is all you
can buy here. ! have tried it, but &C.
cording to my opinion there isn't any
taste to it. | must say when it comes
to making wine you can lay any of
them in the shade. wish | could be
home for awhile am sure | could
show you all how to eat. Oh, for some
of that good old ham and eggs and can
hSa IL III ain al tiS OtilSl kOOd y.
| am also hungry for some candy, We
never see any. have run across it
once since | have been on this side
and then they only asked twenty five
cents for the regular five-cent package.
There is one thing the French and
English both know and understand, and
that is how to charge the U. S. soldiers.
II was outrageous the way they charged
for things on the boat on the way over
an English vessel.
On our way over, indeed ever since
we left camp, We have had some
experiences, the one of most Importance
being the torpedoing of a ship in our
convoy. ! was an eye witness to il, as
most all on our ship were. We did not
see the submarine, but the chasers were
not long in locating it and sending i
down never TO come up again.
This leaves me as we'll as usual, and
| | trust il finds you, one and all, the
same Give my regards to all Of my
friends.

A Mysterious Death.

The body of Glenn Baker, son Of
the late A. G. Baker, Of Summit Point,
was brought to that place Wednesday
from Buffalo, New York. Circumstances
surrounding his death are unusual.
Friday evening he left the machine shop
where he had been employed as ma
chinist to go to his home, making the
journey as had been his custom, on
bicycle. He failed to reach his home.
His dead body was found some time
later on the grounds of one of the
school buildings there, but no trace OF
the bicycle can be found. An investiga-
ton of the cause of his mysterious
death is being made by the Buffalo
authorities. Mr.. Baker was about &C
years Of age, and been a resident of
Buffalo about ten years. His widow
and two children continue to reside
there. advocate

Influenza Ban Lifted.

The board of health of Shepherds
town at a meeting on Tuesday decided
10 remove the restrictions that have
been IN force here for several weeks
on account of the influenza. The public
schools will reopen next Monday Sun,
day public services may be held in the
churches as usual Saturday business
places may remain open as long at night
as their proprietors desire the barber
shops will reopen Saturday morning.
The moving picture show will have its
first show Saturday evening.
The disease seems TO have spent its
force in this neighborhood. In our own
community there have been no new
cases this week, and fortunately none
of those who were sick have died, but
are all getting better. In Martinsburg
and Charles Town conditions are about
normal again, and business is going or
as usual and public meetings may be held
once more. The county health board
has removed all restrictions that were
in force, and business generally has
been resumed and schools and churches
reopened. Although the epidemic has
left trail of sorrow behind il and
some of our most highly esteemed resi-
dents have been its victims, there is
thankfulness that ii has been no worse
Jefferson county and our county towns
have not been as seriously affected as
many other sections, and the number of
deaths has not been as great as in
neighboring communities. We hope
and pray that ii may be long time
before similar scourge visits US.

For the United War Work Fund.

The men and women of Shepherds
town district who are giving their ef-
forts toward the raising OF the fund
for the Y. M. c. A. and other war work
activities are doing very well, and most
of our people are contributing literally
A few persons give small amounts who
ought to give large sums; and, strange
to say, there are some who give nothing
at ALL AS rule, however, the con-
tributions are generous, and we expect
to announce later that our district has
gone over the top handsomely. In one
section number of men are contribut-
ing days wages, cheerful and accept
able offering.
We hope that our full apportionment
of S1,150 for Shepherdstown district
will be speedily raised and that our
county's allotment of $4,000 will be fully
met.
Do not think that because the war
is almost over that the money will not be
needed. There's many weary month
before our soldiers, both in the canton
ments here and in their camps abroad.
and it will be long, long time until
they get back home and the armies are
disbanded.
Give generously !

Charles E. McCammon, well-known
meat store proprietor of Hagerstown.
was found dead in the bathroom Of his
home in that city Friday morning with
a gas hose in his mouth and wool
blanket over his head. Mrs. Mccain
mon, wife of the deceased, said that Mr..
McCammon got out of bed and went TO
the bath room, and as he did not return
IN a reasonable time she became wor-
ried, thinking that probably he was sick.
She went to the bathroom and found
the door locked and strong odor OF
gas, and receiving no reply she became
frightened and telephoned to the store
for one Of the clerks to come to the
house, and upon forcing the door open
his lifeless body was found. He was
aged about Al years and had been in the
meat business in Hagerstown for about
Is years. His wife said she knew OF
no reason why he should have taken his
life. The coroner viewed the body and
from the surrounding circumstances
declared an inquest unnecessary. The
