RARE DISEASE
CLAIMS VICTIM

Hagerstown, Nd, July %. -
Hagerstown's first victim of
Hodgkins disease is Charles II.
Nigh, 17-year-old son of Charles
p. Nigh, who died last night.
The disease, rare one, causes
swelling, followed by hardening
of the muscles of the neck, which
contract and cause suffocation.
1t was at first thought Nigh had
contracted tuberculosis. A year
ago there was pronounced swell
ing of the face and a peculiar
expression of the eyes. The boy
was sent for treatment by rad
ium to the Kelly Sanitorium,
Baltimore, which resulted in tenn
porary relief. The disease was
discovered by a prominent ply
sician by the name of Hodgins
in 1882 and a cure has never
been found for it.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
TONS War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able TO reduce nv
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total or 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tributlon and in September only 279,-
100 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctlons of the Food
administration this country would
nave been in the throes of sugar
famine before the end of August. Our

great anxiety TO those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dnminantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far atield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. II, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

Even the most optimistic stalisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
2O,O00000 bushels And YET Europe
was facing the probability of bread
ramlne-and in Europe bread Is by far
the most important article in the diet
All OF This surplus had left the
country early in the fan. By the first
OF the year we had managed to shin a
little more than 50,0O0.0O0 bushels nv
practicing the utmost economy al
home-by wheatiess days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if We sent an additional To-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo.
pie was S5,O00000 bushels safely deIiv-
cred overseas between January l and
July l. Out of a harvest which gave
US only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,00O. 600 bushels
Thus did America fulfH her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures VIII be bettered.

with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every di-
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy win not defend itself
