THE ALLIANCE HERALD, AUGUST , IfllR
WAR EXHIBIT TO BE SHOWN
AT NEBRASKA STATE FAIR
Wbrnskans to He Given an Insight
Into War Matter- Vull Set of
.War 1 1 1 1 1 i i m -1 1 1 la e shown
One of the features of the semi-
v entennial Nebraska state fair which
opens at Lincoln. September 1, will
be a large government exhibit which
w1l occupy the textile building at the
state fair grounds. Four government
deiartments will be represented,
theee being the departments of war,
navy, agriculture and commerce. The
exhibits from the departments of war
and navy, will, however, hold the
chief Interest as acquainting people
with the means and methods of con
Incting the war.
But few people can he found who
have not read of the Rrownlng and
the Lewis machine gun, yet how
many of us have ever seen one? How
many are familiar with the projec
tiles thrown by the big guns? What
Iercentago have ever seen such im
plements of modern warfare as
irench digging tools, trench perl
scopes, and gas musks? For those
who know but little nbout such
things, which means most people,
the government exhibit at the fair
will be highly instructive and a mat
ter of great interest.
The exhibit of the navy depart
ment will be no less instructive to j
the Nebraska "land lubbers." Re
mete as is our state we are quite fa
miliar with naval equipment and -this
exhibit will probably be the only
means the large majority of Nebras
kans will have of seeing such paraphernalia.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL
All Nations Permit Uss of 8weetninf
fr Homs Preserving Purposes.
America's new sugar ration ef
pounds a month per person is equita
ble when compared with the sugar ra
tion enforced by rigid governmental
-enter in England, France and Italy, na
tions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation In the matter of
sugar consumption Is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
Imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
Is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential Is
In the hands of the vurious Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra
tion has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar Is one of the scarce
articles on every menu whether in
the households of both rlcb and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and In Italy it Is one pound n
month. And the prices in allied coun
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to a hotel In England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with It. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it Is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of swar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use In hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
d2.r',000 acres devoted to sugar produc
tion. By 1017 the French stigar acre
age had decreased to 180,000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no nssuraiwe whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy -i..:;ir To buy It. one must first
fliid It
Italy Has "State Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the us of sugar in Italy. Its manu
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and In part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine Is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute frr sugar and
the govern meal manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
"State Sugar," which Is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Gertnnny, before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
h.rge quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
busineft. but have plenty of cheap
Sagur 1 home use.

NECESSITY WAS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
For twenty years every hour of every day, I have heard some
one say, "Why does not some one Invent something to relieve pain In
a safe and easy manner?" The cry for this great necessity has dwelt
on my mind so long, that I finally solved the problem and have put
it into use. Through Sturgis A Sturgis, Attorneys, I filed for a patent
on this most wonderful method to relieve pain.
