In fact. those who expected something

for it was as good as professional work.
The character of the music struck a
happy medium between the classic and
very light style of music.

Hard Sugar

The sugar shortage has been so acut;
that almost any form of sugar offered
was quickly purchased by indianapolis
housewives, regardless Of the gclje o,
the price. Louisiana cane sugar came
on the market not long ago at an :. /
vanced price. bat that did not slow -
sales. 1t was white and appeared IL
be granulatei 50 the housewives bouyh;
sit-Susually at from 20 to % cent as
PQpaq. What to do with it now is fer
them a praai.n,.
The Louisiana sugar has been clari-
fed, but not granulated. The demand
was SO great that the refiners knew
they could get their price whenever
they threw their product on the mar
ket. They did not take the tim, to
graHuiate their sugar. 1t came to the
retailer still damp from the refinery.
The housewife bought it and placed it
in warin, dr.; place. AS soon as the
dampness was gone this sugar became
q hard cake.
Many Indianapolis women, have lead
ed up with this sugar ard now they do
not know what to do with it. OF
course, they should not permit it to go
waste. Wrapped in paper, with some
pretty flowers painted on the covering,
it will make an excellent door stop.
1t can be utilized for driving nails when
the hammer is not handy and it looks
nice, at a distance. If little of the
sugar is desired for cereal or coffee
one may take an ice pick and jab at
the solid mass unit! sufficient number
OF grains comes off to be of some use.
1t might be placed in salt sack and
hanlHaered Wish the fat Of hatchet,
some OF the bigger Jumps being crushed
as ice is pulverfzed for home Ice cream
making. Perhaps the best suggestion
Is that the city inagnrate sugar crush
ing days. The city owns some big
steam rollers thar are mostly in use
now for street repair work. AS soon
as this work is finished the rollers
might be sent to various neighborhoods
and upon arrival the housewives could
place their sugar between sheets of
paper, stand on the curbing and watch
the heavy rollers crush is. Nothing
lighter will have any material affect

Dear Sir:
The fundamental difficulty of the Bu.

that War Risk is good name with a
bad history, but we have all decided
that it was our duty not to condemn
the past, but to build the future. The

moved from the Bureau, and it is fast
becoming service of eX-service men
Tor eX-service men, as over so per cent
OF the male employees of the Bureau
at the present time are ex-serv:ce men.
1t is my intention to visit you as soon
as possible after Xmas, at which time
l feel confident that l will be able to
explain away the difficulties of the Bu-
reau, but in the meantime, you will be
doing tn, greatest service. to the men
if you will tell them that the bureau is
not as bad as it has been painted; that
l am located in New Orleans and am
getting ten day service on all mat
tiers; that the insurance certificate is a
certificate IF honor, which the Govern
ment gave them below cost, and that
there is no armistice against death,
disease, disability and old age. but
their Government Insurance is a he'll
met. dugout and harbor of safety
for them when they are old, and for
their loved ones after they have "Gone
West"
! enclose you herewith some rein
statement blanks and take pleasure in
calling your attention to the fact that
the men who have lapsed their Insur-
ance may reinstate it in any amount in
muitiplies of $500, but not less than
81, 200, by the payment of only two
premiums, one for the month. Of grace,
and the other for the month in which
the policy is reinstated. Rate book
