LET WORK EXTINGUlSH GRIEF
Best of All Antidotes for Excessive
Sorrow Over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight.

Grief is an attitude of mind. With
some people it is a habit.
In sense we owe it, as sort of
deferential token of our love and es-
TEEN, to manifest reasonable amount
of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however, that the
intensity and duration of the visible
manifestation of grief are seldom in
direct proportion to the sincerity of
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fod-
der for the Hun. 1t is q cause for
intense sorrow, but it is no cause or
excuse for insensibility to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting,
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say it is the anguish of wait
ing that makes it so hard on the wom-
en-. If that is the cause of our grief,
we have an easy solutiOn-just stop
waiting and get busy. There is plenty
to do.
To have something before you, clear
ly seen, which you know you must do,
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life in do
ing, that is one form at least of very
high happiness, and one that appeals
the facts prove it-not only to saints
and heroes, but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, will find
opportunity for the same happiness.
that same exhilaration in doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, if any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth
er's Magazine.

RANK WITH EAST'S WONDERS
Famous Temples at Mandalay, In Up.
per Burma, Spectacle That Few
Tourists Care to Miss.

Of the many strange buildings and
temples in the far East. says writer
In Wide World Magazine, there are
none more wonderful than the 450
Temples of the Law at Mandalay, In
Upper Burma known as the Ruthol-
law, or Royal Merit" The group
consists of a large central pagoda sur
rounded by hundreds of smaller white
temples, or shrines. They were erect
ed by Ainshay-min. who assembled the
throne on the death of his brother In
1867. The latter was cruelty murdered
by his two nephews, and 1t appears
that this very much affected the new
king. Not only did he devote his ener-
gies to peace, but erected this strange
group of temples, each one Of which
contains a slab on which is engraved
a portion of the Buddhist bible. These
holy tablets are made of soft marble
or alabaster, each slab being about
the size of large old-fashioned tomb
stone. On both sides are engraved
chapters from the Buddhist scriptures.
Over every slab is erected canopy
surmounted by gilded framework OF
metal with small tinkling bells. The
temples are situated in a beautiful
wooded valley, and seen from the sur
rounding hills they present a fascina-
Sng picture.

the year was consuming half million
tons of food each month more than
the margin Of safety permitted. Amer

the loyal American people-saved the

starved out of the Allied Camp was
averted till next summer at all events.
The problem now is TO build up re-
serve Sc that no lisk may again be
run and the whole national energy
thrown into the job Of getting on

If the United States had gone selfish
" ahead. eating wheat as usual, and
not saving in export meats, actual
starvation might have faced the peo-
pie of the United Kingdom before now.
Fortunately. Mr. Hooyer's masterful
organizing genius was getting results,
and the breakdown in transportation
in the United States was gradually
remedied. The American people have
saved out of their domestic supply OF
wheat about 1OO,000.oOO bushels, and
likewise have enabled the Food Com
missions to export far more meat, in
the last six months. than was orig
:nally expected. In April, exports OF
bacon were nearly 100000 tons, com.
pared with 1000 tons in April, 1917.
Having performed such splendid
service in conjunction with Lord
Rhondda, Mr.. Hoover is fully entitled
TO the exceptional honors showered on
him in England.
This splendid achievement, in which
the people of Maryland played their
tull share, does not mean that wheat

not be relaxed. Next summer, II the

Girls are natural beauty lovers. The

the pride they take in whatever is
pretty and becoming proves that. But
the girl who loves beauty must be
careful not to put higher estimate

that of sweet soul. Do not value the

The Opportunity To
Build Up Reserves

How large will this years crops
be? And what use will this Nation
make of them?
Such are the queries which nova
days are all important and heard ev-
erywhere. Most vital of all, perhaps.
is the question of our approaching
new wheat supplies, and how such
supplies are to be utilized. AT pres
ent the most careful estimates place
the 1918 wheat crop at high figure,
and Their els little reason to doubt
hem
What is to be done with this
wheat? To find the answer for this
a good many people-far too many
are arguing this: Wheat sup
plies at present in this country are
abnormally low, have been in that
condition for some time. There are
all sorts of trade restrictions regard
ing the amount of wheat that can be
bought, sold, and used. The house
wife has been told to conserve wheat
in every way, and has done SO. Now,
if the approaching wheat crop is
large, let us at once rectify all these
abnormal conditions and get back to
our normal pre-war domestic condi-
tions. That is surely the only sensi-
BILE course
Such reasoning is altogether false.
Worse than that, it is unpatriotic, in
that it contributes nothing toward
our troops or the Allies. Our coming
wheat crop, which should begin to
be available some time after the mid
die of August, must be regarded as
potential factor in maintaining the
strength and morale of the armies
and people in allied Europe. Such
an achievement can be accomplished
only by regarding the coming crop of
wheat as a means for building up a
reserve, practical and efficient in its
possibilities. 1t is true, of course,
that with larger supply of wheat in
hand, some restrictions regarding
domestic use may be modified or re-
moved. But such removal of restric-
tions should be regarded as only in
cidental No mere assets of domes-
tic convenience can begin to equal
the Importance of an adequate re-
serve.
Such a reserve will provide an ac-
emulation of at least one staple
food product which will permit real
flexibility of usefulness. That is, it
will help guard against any unforeseen
and unfavorable crop conditions in
the future. 1t will aid, by constant
shipments overseas, the Allies in
building up in their own countries
such reserves as are necessary to
guard against unexpected contingent
cies which might result from more
complete submarine blockade. Final
ly, perhaps most important Of all,
such reserve will help counteract
the effect of the steady an dcontin-
ued diversion of men from food pro-
duction to other necessary war ac-
tivities.
And all of this applies not merely
to wheat, but to any other staple
food product of which we may have
an abundance.
Therefore the coming harvest time
occasion to cease conservation nor
as a period in which it is advisable
to take off the lid" in any sense,
but, rather. as a time when our Ma
tons food service will be greater be-
cause its opportunity is greater. That
| is a policy and an ideal to be lived
| up to whole-heartedly and patriotic
ally during the coming months.

SHARE OUR SUGAR

British Get Two Pounds a Month.

italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds 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 a 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 Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a 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 pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound a
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 il. If you want sugar you must
bring +. 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
625,000 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. Its 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 a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate 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-
