Sugar control has saved the Amer
lean public $4,000, 900, Herbert Hoov
e., United States food administrator
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell
Ing for II cents pound last August
and that it would have advanced to y

administration secured the cO-Opera-

ables housewives TO buy sugar at from
81h to 9 cents a pound.

Mr. Hoover said Numbers of gen
tleinen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed Of $1SO,OO0,OOO this year if we
had not taken these actions" Later
Mr. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
IS cents a pound during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sugar.
To-Day the American public has been
allotted 20 per xent. Of its normal sup.
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
So pounds Il person. In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"a pounds, and in France each person
is allotted little over one pound a
month.
In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even

IAN appeal was made to America.
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped 49, tons. In
he meantime an appeal was made to
The American public to reduce it's sug
ar consumption. and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with 80 per cent. OF normal supply
This has been generally followed, al
hOugh such regulations were vOlun-
AIRY, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price is 81, to 9 Cents.
Retail grOcers throughout the cOun-
Try are supposed to take a profit Of no
more than 50 cents hundrcd-half Il
cent a pOund-On sugar. BY reason Of
God administration regulations, bind
ing retiners and wholesalers, the re,
taller is able today to buy sugar al
from to 81s cents pound. This
enables him to sell TO the housewife at
9n to 8 cents pound.
There have been some violations Of
he sugar rulings. Mr. Hoover said
recently: "Saics of sugar from Is to
% Gems per ;.o"nd have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself Of the prices
ut which consumers would have been
mulct had we not intervened. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses in az
gravated cases, and we have issued
warnings to first offenders in great
many instances through our local ad-
ministrators."

MISSIONARY WAS
GOOD SPEAKER
MISS OLIVER TALKED TO LOCAL
MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEMBERS

Miss Bessie Oliver, returned Mis-
sionary to the home land for rest who
will return to Korea in August, address
sed the Woman's Missionary Society
Of the Methodist church Monday after
noon to their delight and edification.
Miss Oliver describes the service of
q missionary in the orient as three
fold: evangelistic, educational and
medical: that in accord with Korean
customs, men minister to men, and
women to their sex
Miss divers intercourse with the
women, especially with those of the
number class in heather lands, has
given her an insight into true condi-
ton many are devoid of thebenign in
liuence of the Christian religion, are
not deemed worthy of enlightment
and the esteemed of less value than
the domestic animal They are doomed
to an existence of direst degradation,
without one CLEAN of loving apprecia-
ton to brighten their way. Miraculous
transformations occur in these hearts
and lives as the gospel truths are re-
vealed to them by these faithful mis-.
sionaries.
The wonderful adroation of these
oriental people for their emperor to
the extent that even a picture of him
| is elevated above the heads of the
carrier; with what unquestioned
obedience the Emperor's slightest
commands are observed; with the
appalling fact of the presence OF
Buddhist temples in America where
the name of Buddhais substituted in
christian songs for that of Jesus, these
are things she related in interesting
manner
Graphically, Miss Oliver described
an eighteen mile ride on the back Of
a COW, supplimenting the wearied
pack-horse, and how she and her faith
full steed came down on a mountain
fastness without injury to either. Ir
closing Miss Oliver pledged with hel
hearers to be more prayful for the
missionary, and more liberal to theil
sisters beyond the seas.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
(From Tit-Bits.)

One of the many good stories in the
Rev. William Ewing's book From
Iallipoli to Bagdad," concerns GER
tain PADRES Indian boy" who had
yielded to temptation and committed
an offense for which only corporal
punishment is regarded as adequate.
The padre, however, could not, of
course, inflict the punishment himself
So he wrote letter to the assistant
provost marshal, who attends to these
matters, asking him to give the bear
er twelve of the 5est," H. e., twelve
lashes.
Saying nothing Of its contents, he
gave this letter to the boy, telling him
to deliver it to the A. P. NJ.
The boy met a Lascar on the way
and asked where the A. p MS office
was, as he had letter for him.
oh" said the obliging Lascar, 81
am going that way, and will take the
letter for you
Nothing loath the boy gave him the
missive, and returned serenely to his
duty.
Too late the padre learned the truth
The only question remaining is what
the Lascar thought of British justice!

After two years in the mud and
trenches of Flanders Private Thomas
Atkins obtained leave, and made what
he conceived to be the best use OF his
holiday by getting married.
Oh the journey back, at Southamp-
ton, he showed to the inspector his
marriage certificate in mistake for
his return railway pass:
The official, who CHANGED to be a
Scot, studied it carefully. and then
said:
"Eh, mon, you've got a ticket for
land wearisome journey, but not on
the Southwestern railway" -Tit-Bits

LOVES CAPTIVITY.

All! since you came and took your
place within
The garden of my soul, new flowrs
have grown
In wild luxuriance there; and these
have blown
Their perfume all about Your smile
has been,
Dear one, like olden wine, and life
Instead, with freedom sown,
Is hedged about with Loves captivity.
Though be slave love my serfdom
The stronger chains you forge about
my will
Are welcome, for they hold me close
and still,
Near to the holy place where you MI st
dwell
Take all my dream of other years III; II

And these upon the restless waters
strew:

you.
Behold my lips are passioned for your
kiss.
have known freedom, but how dull
now seem
Those years of liberty, before you
came
even knew the petted touch of
fame,
But these dissolve, like some forgot
ten dream
Before the glory which your love
has brought,
And these strong chains your little
hands have wrought.

THE NEW PARASOLS.


A pretty parasol carried at one the
smart seaside places recently was
of plum taffeta, quite plain except for
the bit of figured chiffon shirred over
the inward workings of the sticks and
steels that regulate the. going up and
the coming down of the parasol, and a
big black wooden head sewed to each
rounded point of scalloped section
that hung down, awning like, around
the edge of the parasol.
Another smart parasol, very eff &C.
tive with colored muslin frock, is
made OF white taffeta, with white en-
ameled sticks and handle and ferrule.
The only decoration is wide border
of eyelet embroidery done with white
silk threads.
