The new de- vice is of steel the dagger being spir- al and about eight inches long and the whole blade rotates automatically in socket The dagger's edge and point are sharp, drilling hole wher- ever it is thrust
 "The essential difference" says Hoke, "between this sort of bayon- ct and the kind now in use is, that this one can be pulled out of the en- emy's body much more easily and more quickly"
 Nowadays a soldier who gets his bayonet fastened in an enemy's body is compelled to stand upon the dead man in order to get leverage.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL FIBER
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrates Sturdy Sup
port Of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tratfon was told that 1T was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that it
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tons will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption if the
present short rations in Europe are
not materially increased. If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This. conser-
walton allowed the Food AdminiStra-
ton to build up reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until tl.e
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995, 900 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving OF
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that in
the homes and public eating places OF
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump.
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-mOnth period begin.
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,OOC
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup.
port Of the war
