LESS SUGAR
THE STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
WIRES NEW INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SELLING SUGAR
TWO POUNDS is THE LIMIT
Five Pounds May Be Sold at Time to
the Country Trade

c. w. King, food administrators OF
Boundary county, received the follow
ing telegram Saturday from the state
administrator, r. f. Bicknell, of Boise,
in which new regulations in regard to
the sale and use of sugar are made:
Developments in the sugar situa-
ton necesitate the following order is
sued by the United States food admin
istration to be effective at once.
Sales of sugar for family use to
town customers is limited to two
pounds and sales to country custom
ers is limited to five pounds. You are
requested not to sell five pounds to
person living in or quite close to an
other town where sugar may be pur-
chased. Any person although living in
the country who can conveniently limit
his purchase of sugar to two pounds
at time or less, is doing his patriotic
duty in so doing.
Sugar regulations for home can
ming remain the same until the end of
the canning season. We trust, how
ever, that you will encourage the
householder to take less than 100
pounds for such use unless he needs
that amount for his canning purposes.

cream parlors, soft drink dealers and
all other dispensers are at once to
discontinue the manufacture and sale

Idaho-At a meeting of the Bonner
Co. defense council Friday evening,
a resolution was passed to post and
advertise F. e. Davis, local abstract
man, as a Stacker. Davis trouble
with the defense council was an out
growth of his refusal to subscribe to
the war chest fund in accordance with
his means, members of the defense
counil, state. Davis, who came be-
fore the meeting of the council with
his wife and little boy, made an offer
of 81 a quarter or $2S year. He
maintained that amount was all that
he could afford to give. The council
proposed that he pay 500 year into
the fund.
Davis gave figures of his expenses
but did not give figures in regard to
his income. The council found he had
$1,000 invested in tax titles and was
the owner of a thousand acres of land
in Boundary county. Upon motion by
Beecher Hitchcock, Davis proffer OF
S2S a year was formally refused by
the council and a resolution was then
passed to post his name in the coun-
ty papers as a Stacker.

DEPENDS ON ONES THOUGHTS
BY No Means Always the Part of Real
Wisdom for Persons to Say
What They Think.

Whether we are to say what wei
think, or not, depends entirely on what
our thoughts are and how they will
affect others. There are some thoughts
1t is a sin to hide. The people who
smother a good thought because they
are afraid of being misunderstood or
laughed at, take upon themselves q
dangerous responsibility. To conceal
kind thought is something for which
there is no excuse.
There are other thoughts which 1t is
a pity to allow to get beyond your own
brain. 1t is unfortunate indeed to have
them, but at least you can resolve that
they shall never get outside of their
birthplace. II you think this world is
d dreary, dismal place. what is the
good of saying sol If morbid, angry
thoughts have taken possession OF you,
stamp them out as you would breed
of snakes.
Be brave enough to speak the
thought which should be spoken, no
matter whether 1t is likely to be pop
ular or not. And be strong enough to
hold in a leash the thought which, IL
1t should escape, would work harm to
pthers.-Selected.

GLORY OF TURKISH CAPITAL
Great Mosque of Santa Sofia a Marvel
In Beauty Of Architecture and
Rich Decoration.

The great mosque of Santa Sofia
towers majestically over Constantine
pie, dominating its surroundings by
sheer thick-set ponderousness. Its
bulky dome and tacked-on minarets
are, however, only the shell which
covers vast cathedral justly famed for
beauty of line and rich ornament.
From the outer court you pass
through heavy bronze door and stand
within hall of such cavernous proper
tons that 1t seems impossible that
even the exterior, that seemed so mas
sive, could contain it. Above, the dome
rises In sweeping curve. Once mosaic
figures of Christian saints adorned
these higher regions of the hall, but
the yandal Turks long ago covered the
saints with plaster through which In
certain places they still can be seen
smiling dimly but serenely.
The mosque has not always been a
Mohammedan temple. The origial
Santa Sofia, Christian cathedral
erected by Constantine, was destroyed
by fire. 1t was Justinian who rebuilt 1T
In tine sixth century. decorating i'll
with such lavish magnihcence that he
was himself surprised at the result and
cried out: Solomon, I have surpassed
theeI"
In Justinian's day the new temple
was a veritable Aladdin's cave. Its
walls and columns were of marble
brought from foreign quarries and
from other temples. Famous shrines of
Diana, Apollo and even the Temple of
the Sun at Baalbek contributed their
statues and jewels, willingly or not, to
the glory of Justinian's cathedral.
Into this treasure vault In 1853 burst
the conquering Turks, wrecking. plun1
dering and claiming possession. From
that time on Santa Sofia, Church of the
Divine Wisdom, has been Turkish
mosque, with minarets added and the
crescent over all.-Chicago Daily
