A Near Miss.

A British airman was flying alone
over the Bulgar lines busily using his
camera. A whistle of machine gun
bullets disturbed him. He just saw
an AlbatrHss swooping down upon him
from above and then he knew no more.
When he recovered consciousness he
found that he had dropped all the
way from 5000 feet to 1000 feet,
and that a bullet had passed through
his neck-fortunately missing his ver-
tebrae. He regained control of his
machine and looked about for the AL
batross. She was nowhere in sight,
and evidently had prematurely decided
that she had finally polished off the
Englishman.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
Bile when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England. France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential The fair
and Just division of this essential is
In the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administers
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration OF two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and in Italy it is one pound
month And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
if they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends
Before the war started France had
625, 900 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it. one must first
find it.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
state Sugar" which Is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations. according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows ::
England, 10 cents a pound; France,
II cents; Italy. 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at II cents.

SAVE YOUR HAIR! A SMALL BOTTLE
 STOPS DANDRUFF
Every bit of dandruff disappears and hair stops coming
 out
Try this! Your hair appears glossy, abundant. wavy
 and beautiful

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life eventually producing a fev- erishnes and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die then the hair falls cut fast. A little Dadnerine tonight-now--any time will surely save your hair.
 Get a small bottle of Knowlton's s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter for a few cents, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, lustre and lux uriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incom- parable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilaratin gand producing prop critics cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.-(Adv.)

BORN HERE
 DIES ACROSS SEAS

1 Concerning the career of Lieut.
 Thomas F. Mooney, U. s. A., Signal Corps, who died in hospital in Eng
 land on April P, as the result of
 injuries suffered in an airplane acci
 dent, the San Antonio Express says: Entering the service on May IS
 of last year, Lieutenant Mooney at
 tended the Officers Training School at Leon Springs. Following hs com pletcn of his course there he was ] sent to the Aviation Ground School
 at Austin, where he was honor man
 of his class. His distinction in this class led to his being sent very soon afterward to Oxford, England, for fur ther training, and from there he was transferred to Stamford and Dover, England, later being sent to Avyr, l Scotland
 After being at Ayr for some time,
 Lieutenant Mooney was ordered to join his squadron which was about to be sent to France. While at Dover with the squadron, waiting for the or ders which would take him to France Lieutenant Money was flying when his airlpane engine failed him, and he was forced to make a landino in an Iunfavorable spot, injuring his ankle. This injury prevented his going over with the squadron.
 While he>was waiting at Dover to be attached to another squadron des- tined for the front, Lieutenant Moon ey was assigned to duty taking new ly-assembled airplanes over the Eng fish channel to France, returning to- England by boat after delivering the planes. It is supposed by Dr. Mooney that the accident which cost his broth CTS life occurred while he was in this duty.
 Lieutenant Mooney was born twen- ty-four years ago in Pine Bluff, Ark. He was a sen of MT. and Mrs. Thom- as H. Mooney of this city, who sur vive him. His education was received in St. Mary's College here and at St. Mary's Seminary at LaPorte, Tex. After he had left school, Lieutenant Mooney was for some time assistant cashier in the Emmet Bank. He was member of St. Mary's Church of this city, and also member of the Mu Nu Sigma Fraternity of this city
 "Lieutenant Mooney's death will come as a shock to a wide circle of his acquaintances, as he was. well known here and had endeared him self to all with whom he came in cen tact"

Then, flashing round ou one recruit, lie asked him how many cartridges lie Lad in his rifle Quick as thought came the reply: "Seven in t tin can and one up t spout"
