NEWS ABOUT SUGAR
HAS BITTER TASTE
Department of Justice Ruling Linz
iting Profit Makes Retailers
DO Some Figuring.

Limiting profits on sugar to l cents n
pound wholesale and cents pound re-
tail is not going TO take care of the over
head, in the opinion of some OF the re-
tailers This ruling of the Department Of
Justice, announced in Every Evening yes
terday, was discussed by members OF the
Retail Grocers' Exchange, who met last
night at Eden Hall.
The retail grocers did not believe that
the wholesale dealers had any cause for
complaint in the telegram. But they
thought that they themselves were bitter
" wronged. And William L. Skellenger
manager of the exchange, announced his
belief that they are right.
Some of the grocers took out pencils
and did some figuring on wrapping paper.
They came to the conclusion that q profit
Of cents pound is loss They must
pay 20 cents pound themselves, they de-
clare, and a profit of cents a pound Is
only 10 per cent. They estimate overhead
expenses at | ! per cent, which makes loss
of Z per cent on sugar sold under the govern
ments ruling. In addition there Is 4 loss
of several pounds per barrel in the weigh
ing.
The proposition to buy lot shipment
OF sugar from Philadelphia spectators
at PC cents a pound was discussed by
the exchange. But some members arose
to state that they would rather do with
out sugarsin their stores than create the
unfavorable impression upon their Gus
toners which would result from such q
purchase which would necessita te an
overwhelming increase IN the retail price.

BEGIN TRAINING
OF BABIES EARLY
Formation of Bad Habits May be
Prevented by Attention at
the Proper Time.

Following is tho thirteenth OF series OF
articles for the Mothers Column con-
tributed by the medical consultant of
the State Reconstruction Commission
ard submitted by the commission through
the clearing house of the Delaware State
Program:
Badies Eegin to form habits either good
or bad at an extremely early age. There
fore. training should begin practically at
Dirth. II is Just as easy to train your baby
IN good habits as it is to allow the for
nation of bad ones The baby should be
carefully watched at all times in order TO
prevent him from forming some habit
which Will he extremely harmful. For
example, ear-pulling; some acquire this
habit very early. They will constantly
pull at one of their ears with the result
that the car becomes permanently out of
shape Another is thumb sucking The
baby will constantly suck at one or the
other of his thumbs. This results in de-
formity of both the thumb and the jaw,
with protruding teeth and receding chin.
The cure for both of these after they are
once established is a long drawn out
proceeding. There are various appliances
for sale which hold the hand SO that the
baby cannot do these things 10 is much
easier TO prevent the formation of these
faults than it is TO correct them
There are other habits which babies
often form which are extremely harmful
They may have their origin in some ir-
rtation in which case doctor should be
consulted before drastic curative mea-
sures arc necessary.

not allow people TO kiss you baby Natural
ly parents feel that they must kiss the
baby and in doing this they should set
good example by kissing him on the
check or forehead.
CRYING.
Crying is due to a great number of
causes A young mother soon learns to
distinguish the different cries. The temper
cry is tho most easily recognized. Ii Is
loud harsh, high pitched cry ending IN
what is practically q scream lhis Is
usually heard in spoiled babies. They
have learned that if they cry hard enough
and long enough and loud enough they
will be picked up. petted or rocked or
walked with.
The crv of the sick baby is also easily
recognized This is lower pitched cry
of more of a moaning or wallng character
and does not end in the scream of the
temper cry.
The pain cry is midway between these
two and is usually due 10 cole or pin
sticking in it, or perhaps it Is because
the baby is uncomfortable.
These are the most frequent cries and
if YOU would have good baby who does
not cry often, do not spoil him, keep him
well and be sure that he is comfortable.
