LOSSES OF CHURCHES.

Where are the lost church mem
bers? A bright woman in one of the
denominations has suggested that ad-
vertisements be inserted in the pa
pers to those who once belonged to
churches but who of late years drop
ped out"
We see them every day in Brook
haven. They are met with every
where-the men and the women
who once were actively connected
with some church but who no longer
belong" Pressed for reason they
give various answers, but one of the
outstanding reasons is that the
church itself did not look after them
properly; also, that they lost in
terest" in such vital thing as re-
ligion.
1t is particularly essential that
the masses of the country get better
acquainted with church life. 1t is
something that is to their own in
terest, and is a stabilizer in citizen
ship that is not to be deprecated.

EAT LESS SUGAR.

We see notice in one of our es-
teemed contemporaries that sugar is
to sell for 20 cents pound.
Stop eating so much sugar.
You don't need it in your coffee
Try drinking coffee without sugar
for a week and you will never return
to sugar.
People eat too much sugar, any
how. We have become a nation OF
ice tea drinkers during the summer
We put an enormous amount of su-
gar in ice tea. Already many peo-
pie are suffering from diabetes be-
cause they fill their stomachs with
sugar during the summer season.
Use molasses.
The sorghum crop should be con.
served.
1t is amazing how much use a good
cook can find for sorghum in the
kitchen.
The corn product syrups are cheap
er proportionately than sugar.
They are healthy and you make
no mistake in buying them.
A moment ago Mr.. Leslie Stratton
was in this office .and informed us
that five carloads of Y. c. sugar had
been purchased for November deliv-
cry at 14A cents fob. New Orleans
Eat molasses and cut your sugoI
rations down to one-half.
The sugar growers are preparing
next year to take the world by the
throat.
Unless everybody goes to work
and unless everybody increases his
hours of work and produces more
the government will have to declare
a state of war and put the nation on
rations-not only as to sugar, but
as to food and clothing,-Commercial
Appeal.

KEEP COMMUNITY BUILDING

One result of neighborhood and
community activity during the war
has been the unceasing desire in
many regions to make this work per-
manent. To this end certain neigh
borhoods are preparing to acquire
buildings originally erected for other
purposes and transform them into
community celfters. other towns
which have temporarily maintained
headquarters for soldiers camping In
their vicinity propose to make these
headquarters permanent and broad
en- the scope Of their service to the be-
nefit of all. An interesting feature
of the movement is the construction
of community houses as memorials
to the soldiers who died in the Great
War. Many of the community build
ings are designed for the use of farm
ers and. their families on business
visits to the cities. according to in

HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY

The experience Of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 143S Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: "I have been srf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
/ would catch cold and become 50
hoarse could not speak for six or
eight weeks. / could get Wy tenn
porary relief.
"This winter / was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellowlworknan advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. / am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine. ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh Of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belehing gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

Great principles of righteous
ness are won by hard fighting, and
they are attained by slow degrees.
With thousands of your sons in the
camps and in France, out of this
conflict you must expect nothing less
than the enjoyment of full citizen

THE ERA OF EXTRAvAGANCE.

Much is being said and written a
bout the foolish extravaganza" of
the present time. Both in England
and America, it seems, conditions are
similar, with the people contracting
the same degree of high-living ex-
penditure as prior to the outbreak
of the recent war.
IL seems strange that two nations,
after having experienced a period in
which thrift and hardships were en-
forced upon everyone, should go so
decidedly in the opposite direction.
Instead of practicing the lessons
learned in the war the people of the
two nations are evidently doing their
hardest to forget them and enjoy
life.
Unnecessary extravaganza is an
evil that adds to the cost of living
it causes the production of luxuries
in large quantities thus subtracting
from the manufacture of necessities.
And in this day, when production
is of paramount Importance, the in
fluence of extravaganza and luxur-
les on the high cost of living is self
evident.
1t is practically useless however,
to argue with the natural inclina-
tions of the people. Following all
great wars have come orgies of spend
ing. This has been as certain as
that day follows night.
The situation is evident in Brook
haven as elsewhere. So far as one
can judge, seekers after luxuries are
numerous; nobody seems to be hold
ing back. Everybody is having a
good time. There are growls about
the high cost of living, of course,
bet despite that the outgo for things
that ornament life is considerably
in advance of anything ever known
here.
Trade here therefore is brisk and
will likely remain so despite the
warnings and commentaries of folks
who do not believe in enjoying life.

TWO HOUSING PROBLEMS.

The housing problem resolves its-
elf into two problems: First the
problem of providing homes for
those persons we may expect to come
and live here and thus enlarge the
city's population, IL housing facili-
ties are provided. and also for those
now here who will not or cannot
buy, but especially for the first class
named.
Second, the inducing OF many per
sons as possible who already live
here to build homes of their own.
The man who is a newcomer. who
is not settled as to his business or
employment. cannot be expected TO
build or buy home at once Tne
settled resident is the one who should
build or buy and who win and It
profitable from any standpoint to do
so.

Two years ago the sweet potato
weevil was reported in four counties
of South Mississippi, and the farmers
were seriously alarmed. In some
fields in this section 95 per cent of
the potatoes had worms about the
size of cotton boil weevil. The
state and government forces got to
work as soon as possible, their idea
being to connne the operations of
the weevils to the territory in which
first discovered, If no more. They
report today that they have done ev-
en- better. The worms" have not
spread out over any larger area
in fact, their area has been curtailed
and farms that were infested with
them last year are now free Of them.
That is true only where instructions
of the department have been obeyed.
The removal of the potato patch from
one side Of the farm to the other
gets rid OF them provided good sound
seed only are used.

your bowels regular. This is best
accomplished by proper diet and ex-
