Colonel Dan Cupty in Command '
At a Nearby Army Post
F ORT CROOK is a most interesting spot The girls are beginning to
I realize that the balloon school if not the only place where the fascinat
ing officers grow. There are numbers of eastern men at the post and if
you will notice the military hopa out there are becoming very popular.
Romance lurks at the post There have been a number of attractive girls
who have been house guests of the Officers' wives since the fort has been
opened, and even now there is a charming young lady who is-visiting a cer
tain Mrs. Officer. ,
We began to notice that the young woman in question was very much inter
ested in the activities at the fort, and the drills occupied her undivided atten
tion, particularly when a certain lieutenant was commanding. ' .
A number of Omaha women have formed a battalion and every Monday
evening finds them hard at work. Lo, and behold the salf-same ossifer was
chosen to teach them the intricacies of such commands as "right about face,"
and" in the front row leaning eagerly forward and watching every move
ment was this same pretty girl. ' . ' -,
He is also military instructor at a local college and the cadets look for
ward to his coming fof this attractive eastern maiden, comes too..
Will the wedding take place-soon, in Omaha or in the east? That is, the
burning Question and we are all hoping that it will take place here, for what
4ould be more attractive than a

Sugar Substitutes in Drugs
Never before in the history, of -the
drug trade in, this country has the
compounding pharmacist found him
self running short of sugar for pre
scription and medteinal purposes.
Now, according to the Pharmaceutical
Era, European experience with ,war
shortage will be utilized in the em
ployment and standardization of sugar
substitutes in medicine. In England
the pharmacists promptly met sugar
shortage when it was found,that each
pharmacist had to rely upon his own
ingenuity or providing substitutes,
and put an end to confusion by 'the
publication of a war emergency- form
ulary containing formulas for 130
preparations which contained either
sugar or glyserin.
This forflrfllary was published as an
addendum to thj British Pharma
copoeial Codex, and was approved by
the national health and medical
authorities. Suth formulas thereby be
come legal standards, and physicians
are expected to prescribe and pharm
acists to dispense them accordingly.
Generally Speaking, the principal sub
stitutes for sugar are: (1) Diluted
glucose containing 90 parts of glucose
and 10 of dfsjtilled'waternd (2) an
artificial syrup or syrup substitute
known as "syrup factitius" composed
of: '-.
fTragacanth 0.7
Chloroform 0.5
Distilled water to 100.0
No use has been1 made of sacchar
ine. - " -
Glycerin being in short supply as
well as sugar, the difficulty has been
overcome in some cases by leaving
it out, in others by using alcohol,, and
in others by using mucilage of trag
acanth. The Pharmaceutical Era pub
lishes about 30 of these official British
formulas. In this country it may not
be necessary to-, use substitutes to
such an extent, but should the emer
gency arise, pharmacists can be de
pended upon to make prompt adjust
ments, speaking or substitutes tor
sugar and glycerin, Prof. Wimmer of
the New York College of Pharmacy
said recently thaj. the quantities of
sugar and glycerin used in compound
ing medicine are so large that unre
stricted use might become real fac
tor in shortage. Substitution 'calls
for detailed adaptation or different in
gredients tosdifferent purposes. Sac
charine at $40 a pound is as cheap
a sweetener as sugar, but its use
should not be permitted in any prep
arations which depends for its em
ployment entirely, or in parr upon
the presence of sugar, especially
where used as food. ,
The use of glucose will lend con
sistency and preserving quality to
many galenicals in which sugar has
been used. Honey, manna and mo
lasses are satisfactory substitutes for
other compounds. Experiments with
a mixture cf 75 per cent corn ayrup
and 25 per cent water show that this
mixture has a viscosity practically the
same as that of official syrup. Corn
syrup and glucose with a smali. per
centage of saccharine for sweetening
meets some purposes, and the tend
ency toward fermentation 1 in such
substitutes is overcome with a small
nreentaee of chloroform.- To save
glycerin, it may-ibe omitted entirely.

Fashions in France
DRESS AND THE MORALIST.
Women's fashions have tecentlj
been much discussed in the press and
pulpit, and at the Academy oi Medi-.
cine. Men unite in, denouncing high
heels, the doctors from the standpoiiH
of health, the clergy as a sign of
frivolity, and the press as' a prpof oJ
weaknessrin the armour tf common ,
sense to which modern women lay
claim, writes a correspondent to the
London Times. -The doctors and the
writers malec a clear point on heels,
but the clergy go further, and de
nounce many of the new fashions as -lacking
in dignity and beauty, and -therefore
out of place in the present
times. -
It is noticeable that none of them
has objected to women's dressing well
or giving dress a certain amount ofv
attention. But exaggeration and cari
cature they declare to be ugly and un
becoming. The clergy agree that the
most costly and fashionable I of
dresses, when worn in the right cir- .v
cumslances, is compatible with the
greatest virtue, and they quote saintly
authors in corroboration of this state
ment: -
v Right to Vote.
"Those women who are working ,
or women's franchise arelecturing
to women with a, view of preparing
them for the moment when they shall
have a rjghtto note on municipal
boards to begin with; and later, pos
sibly, in the chamber. But a clever
rather than kind writer declares that
until they have taught their fellow
women not to wear high heels and so
endanger the future of the race,. they
can scarcely establish a " right for
women to vote on-municipal reforms.
The opinion is that of not a few men
in France, where women are never
theless expected to retain their in
stinct for' dress; and 'Frenchmen, if
they object to certain vagaries of
fashion, are certainly not opposed to
fashion as an. art or as a trade.
It is, indeed, the industrial side oi
dress which makes fashion thrive. Th
dressmakers represent so much wealth
that everything is done to encourage
them, and the best of them try ,to de
sign' dresses which vMl not shock ,
men's taste. Only a, fantastic minority
indulges in exaggerations. The newly
rich are buying clothes and furniturV .
as they did before the war, trye poor
of today who were the well-to-slo yei
terday are buying nothing, and to
some extent every one is economfzing
in dress. But the working women, who f
have never earned so much before, are 1
spending more on dress thanTbefore
a deplorable but natural human weak
ness: Consequently the big shops are
always full and the streets are buv
with well dressed women.
Fewer Dresses.
Of the exaggerations in fashion
which"" doctors have condemned,-women
can honestly say that the new
fashions do not tend toward them; the
best dxessmakers encourage a certain
fullness in the narrow skirt, a decent ,
length, and high collars. Tailormades
have never-been simpler than nOw, and s
tne indoor dress is going to be longer.
Exaggeration comes in( the price, and
most women are now obliged by econ
omy to have fewer dresses than they
did. A simple' walking dress; in serge '
costs so much that most women can
not afford more than one of a kind.
The cheapest cost 10 and the dear
est -perhaps 35. For a blouse any
thing from 5 to 10 will be asked.
The excuse" for.such prices is the en
hanced cost of materials, the wages of
labor, rent, taxes, light, heatingand
the dearness o all other necessaries
of life. It is therefore scarcely neces
sary to tell women they must have x
fewer dresses; most of themi feel no
inclination to be extravagant. j
Frencji women have since the war.
turned more than ever towards their
own homes. The tendency that was
growing before the war to go out, to
go away for week-ends,, to take up
sport, has been checked, and the aver
age woman in France is. concerned
more than ever with her house and
her family. She is interested in dress
up to a certain point, in house decora
tion, in education, and lately she has
shown renewed interest in music, irt. J
and literature. Where the talk a year
ago was exclusively of the war, and
that chiefly from a personal pdint of
views, one may now hear discussions
on these subjects'. , 1 .
