PLAN TO STOP
SUGAR EXPORTS
Amount Sent Abroad
This Year Greater
Than All Last

WASHINGTON, June 15-An en-
barge on the export Of sugar is IN
cluded in the plans of the depart
ment of justice for relieving the ma
tion-wide sugar shortage, it is an
nounced by A. w. Riley, special as
sistant to the attorney general
Sugar exports so far this year were
greater than the whole of last year,
Mr.. Riley said. Experts for 1919
were 658,G60 tons, of which 44I,-
$50 tons were. British owned, leav-
ing 211,OOO tons of American owned
supgar exported, while from January
/ to May 27 exports of American su-
gar amounted to 100000 tons.
Exports of sugar would be cur
tailed, Mr.. Riley said, if the' coun-
trv is to have a sufficient supply to
take care of DOMESTIC needs.
Sugar is being sold in the cigar
stores here at 26 cents a pound.
Although it is impossible to buy
mere than TWO pounds at time IN
any grocery store, one cigar store IS
offering four pounds for Sl.04, and
the manager announced that custom
ers could have more if they would
order it in advance.
Appearance of sugar IN such un-
natural places is one more evidence
that it has drifted out of its natural
channels and is in the hands OF spec
ulators.
So far the jewelry stores have Of
fered no sugar.

IS YOUR BABY THE
PROPER WEIGHT2

DR.. Holt, the eminent baby spe-
cialist, says that baby's weight tells
very accurately how we'll it is thriv-
ing. He recommends, the first year at
least, keeping a weight chart. The
average baby weighs at birth 7 to
7 1-2 pounds; three months, IL to 13
pounds; six months, Is to 16 pounds
one year, 20 to % pounds.
If your baby isn't weighing what
it should, give it immediate attention.
The first place to look for the cause
of underweight is the stomach and
digestive organs, if they do not func-
tion properly, baby's body is not
properly nourished. Symptoms of
poor digestion are usually sleepless-
ness, fretfulness, loss of appetite.
constipation, diarrhoea and some
times a slight fever.
This condition may be easily cor
rected with a good laxative, such as
Baby Ease" a perfected prepara-
tion by baby specialist. The castor
laXatives have a tendency to irritate
and are too harsh for the delicate
membranes of baby's stomach. "Baby
Ease" is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce ,over-action or leave
baby constipated. 1t is safe, harm
less and efficient laxative and correc-
tive for babies and children. If YOU
see no Improvement after few doses,
take baby to a physician. Ask your
druggist for "Baby Ease. e."-(adv)

MOSQUITO
ENEMY
Little Insect Takes Huge Toll
From Country

Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all of the wars since
the beginning of time.
Their bite is often as deadly as a
rattlesnake's.
By every method known to man
kind both national and local health
services are trying to exterminate
them, but this will never be. We must
protect ourselves against this pest.
By proper screening and by a daily
spray of TORMENT the house can
be kept free of all mosquitoes. TOR
MENT is a gaseous vapor in which
no dangerous insect can live. 1t is
death to insects but harmless to
human beings.
