NEED FOR SUGAR

Need to Continue Con

Ithin the lait 60 days, visited nu
neruiis communities and talked with
thousands of people in all walks of
life, I am more fully convinced than
ever that the men and women of the
United States are loyal to the core
and that when called upon, will do
everything that lies within their

Max Mayfield, special representa
ive of the sugar department of the
N'ational Food administration, who

Mayfield came from South Da

idministration and grocers of that

Must Save Sugar.
The special mission of Mr. May
field is to get in close touch with
joobing dealers of sugar and with
food administrators to explain To
them why it is just as necessaryto
conserve sugar now as it was last
year. And while he docs not be
lieve there is Roing to be a sugar
i famine, he points to the fact that
there must not be any waste.
"Indications are that the United
States' production of sugar this year
will be abouf 4.265,000 tons," said
Mr. Mayfield. "This will include
"""beet and cane. It must be under
stood that out of this quantity, be
.ides supplying our 2,000,000 boys
in Europe, for the next year, at
least, we must furnish sugar for the
people of England, France, Belgium
and our other allies. Thus you can
see that unless we conserve at home
there is likely to be a shortage.
Price is Not High.
"The price, 11 cents a pound to
t'le consumer is likely to maintain
and while some of may think this
js high, I want to say that in no
country in K-urope is sugar Deing
sold at as low a price as here. In
England sugar is sold at 19; in
France, 21, and in Sweden, at 18
cents a pound and the restrictions
are more drastic than here.
"The boys in the trenches must
have their sugar and I have yet to
find the man or woman who is not
willing to sacrifice in order that
these boys may be well fed.
.... l' . A lU.i a .
II is micrcsung io note uii nui
all the sugar used in this country
, is consumed in the homes. Sttis
tics show that 165,000 tons go into
the manufacture of soft drinks, 100,-
000 tons into the manufacture of ice
cream, 58,000 tons into crackers, 45,
000 tons into pies, 28,000 tons into
. the manufacture of tobacco, 26,000
tons into canned 'fruit and 15,000
tons into the manufacture -of chew
ing gum. It is possible, that a re
duction of sav 50 per Cent may be
ordered in connection with the out
put of some of the manufactured
goods.
"While it may not be generally
known, large amount of sugar goes.
into the manufacture of glycerine
This is an important product and
is used largely in the manufacture of
high explosives. Explosives are
heloing to-win the war and conse
quently I don't think anyone will
. obiect to sugar being used in the
glycerine.
"O: course we are all going to
conserve in the use of sugar and
continue to be satisfied with our al
lotment, but at the same time we
must be just as particular to con
serve in the use of food stuffs.
"We have a bumper wheat crop,
but there is going to be an urgent
demand for all our wheat products.
We must remember that, in the first
place, we must feed 2,000,000 and
more American boys now fighting in
Europe. Then ,we must feed the
people of England, France, Belgium,
Italy and the millions of starving
people on the borders of Germany.
The facts are that the whole of Eu

Resolutions from the Lincoln
Commercial club were read before
the executive committeee at the last
meetirig. These resolutions demand
that devastation be visited on Ger

for the. destruction in" France and
Belgium. It is further recommended
that all allied seaports be closed to
German commerce for a period fol
lowing the war to protect crippled
industries from aggression that may
be expected from Germany, whose
industries thus far have not been
wrecked. The subject has been re

Letters from two sons, one in
f ranee and one in Texas', reached
Mrs. Dan Donovan of the South
Side one day last week. One was
dated October 17 and the other
September 26, and both complained
of letters frQm home and from each
other not reaching them.
Raymond, who is with the 19th
infantry, stationed at Camp Travis,
San Antonio, Texas, said: "I have
had a little touch of influenza but
it didn't amount to much. In a
month now, or less, we will be on
our way. We are going out on the
range again and just as soon as we
get through firing, we are gbing to
leave, and that will mean a whole
lc of us. We have only 1,250 men
in the hospital with the influenza
and a lot more getting it. Tell "Bill"
I have written him six or seven let
ters and haven't heard from him."
"Bill," who was formerly em
ployed by theS Armour company, is
now in Ice Plant No. 1, in France.
He writes: "It is the same story
over again no word from you or
any of the folks for nearly six
weeks. Can't quite understand what
the trouble conld be, but am hoping
soon to get a whole armload of
mail from home.
"I hear some of the boys for

a short time ago. Won't it be great
when we get together? I hope I
can see that bunch soon.
"We are having a change of
weather lately. Lots of rain and
chilliness. Guess we are nearing our
winter time. There is not much to
write about. Every day is the same

is more work once in a while.

DREAMLAND
ADVENTURE
By DADDY
"Sky Soldiers"
(In previous adventure! Peggy, after
being made tiny through fairy ring grae,
hna enjoyed wonderful trip through the
air aboard her toy airplane and has been
crowned Princesa of Btrdland. )
CHAPTER I.
The Golickety Shrub.
PEGGY was -watching moving
pictures of the war being
thrown on an outdoor screen
in the public playground near her
home. Her pulse beat faster and
cheers came leaping unbidden from
her throat as she saw brave Ameri
can soldier boys going over the top.-
tsut tier biggest thrnl came when
there flashed into view a battle high
in the air between Yankee and Hun,
airplane.
"My gracious, but I'd like to see
a real airplane fight," she mur
mured,, hugging her own airplane
close to her.
"So would I," spoke up General
Swallow, who, all unnoticed, had
perched on the bench beside her.
"I wonder if those airmen are as
good fighters as we airbirds."
"They look itl" exclaimed Peggy
enthusiastically. Then it struck her
as a bit odd that General Swallow
was there. "I didn't know that
Birds liked moving pictures," she
added.
'They don't. AH of Birdland is
"SO WOULD I," SPOKE UP
GENERAL SWALLOW.
i
sound asleep, except the vNight
Birds and myself. But I like fight
ing pictures, and as a military Bird
I think it is my duty to see. them."
At that General Swallow gave Peg
gy a wink, just like her father wink
ed when pretending to make excuses
for taking her to the circus.
"Let's go over to Europe and see
the fighting," he suddenly suggested,
just as if Europe were only around
the corner.
"Why, Europe is thousands and
thousand of miles away," answered
Peggy.
"That's nothing, if you eat Go
lickety leayes," responded General
Swallow.
"What are Golickety leaves?"
asked Peggy.
"They grow on the Golickety
shrub," replied General Swallow.
"If you eat one you can become
any size you want to be, you will
be invisible, and can go through the
air as fast as you want to. Here's
a Golickety shrub, right here."
Peggy looked at the small, red
dish bush ' he pointed out. Half
doubtfully she picked one of the
fragrant leaves and nibbled on" it.
There was no effect.
"It doesn't seerno work," she
said disappointedly;
"You have to say a little rhyme to
make the charm act," declared Gen
eral Swallow.
"Golickety email I Oollckety fait!
Oh, when It cornea fall, why luramer !
paat"
It sounded like a very foolish,
meaningless rhyme to Peggy, but
she tried it , .
"Oollckety mail! Oollckety faat!
Oh, when It comes fall, why summer is
past" J
Still there seemed to be no effect.
Peggy turned reproachfully to Gen
eral Swallow.
x "You're fooling me- There isn't
any magic about these leaves."
".What do yon want them, to do
to you?" shrilled General Swallow.
"I want them to make me tiny, so
I can ride my airplane. And I want
thy airplane to be so fast that it can
carry me to Europe in a minute,"
answered Peggy.
No sooner were the words out of
her mouth than things happened in
a hurryv She felt herself shrink to
the size of General Swallow.while
her airplane suddenly awoke ' into
buzzing life. She hopped aboard,
and it darted away. General Swal
low, to keep from being left behind,
seized her dress in his beak and
was carried along in the wild rush.
Up, up, up went the airplane, so
high that the earth; instead of being
spread out fiaX was round, just like
a geography globe at school. Peggy
saw a stretch of land spin past, then
a great mass of ocean. Land ap
peared on thcother side of the
ocean, and down swooped the air
plane into the midst of a great roar
in s noise.
"Thunder 1" thought Peggy. But
a moment later she knew it wasn't
thunder. It was the pounding tu
mult of the big guns at the "battle
front in Frange.
"My, that was some ridel" shrilled
General Swallow, as the airplane
slowed up.
They dived through a big cloud
bank, and as they came out into the
clear air beneath, they suddenly
found bullets whizzing all about
them. A great winged monster was
roaring up at them, and right be
hind it was a second monster in
deadly pursuit of the first. Peggy
and General Swallow were having
their wishthey were seeing an
airplane fight. And more than that,
they were right in the midst of it
and in mortal peril of being hit.

on the Twenty-fifth of September,
and as no word had been received
from him theje was considerable
apprehension on the part of his

his safety to whom the receipt of
today's cable announcing his safe

Chocolates, cake anything so it

there, according to a letter received
bv W. C. Alexander, formerly of
Hastings but now of Omaha, from
his son, Private W. Mercer Alex
ander, who is fighting in France.
He also tells the best way .in
which to send packages of 'eatables
to soldiers with the expeditionary
Horees.
Orders Are Cabled.
'T do not suppose I can get any
packages from, you, or fruit cake,
but I will tell you what you can do,"
he writes. "You can leave an or
der with John Wanamaker for some
stuff and they can cable across, get
ting it on this side and sending it to
me. Lots of the fellows are get
ting things in that way. I will tell
you what I miss most, it is some
thing sweet, chocolate candy and
other candy, catkes, etc. Send, me
a nice big box of chocolate and
some bar chocolate, and' get the
candy sent from England. Also
some, cake and some other stuff and
some bouillon cubes, and anything
else I haven't got down here. O,
yes, you can send me some cigar
ettes, or cigars in my box, too."
Alexander also tells in an interest
ing way of going over the' top for
the first time:

just as the day was breaking. Ahead,
the barrage was bursting, and our
own machine gun bullets were whiz
zing over our heads; About 7 o'clock
we reached the top of a hill, where
I had view of our advancing lines,
which I don't believe I can ever for
get. Way to our left and right,
there were advancing two thin
waves of men. There was hardly a
break, however small, in that line.
Shells were dropping into villages
on our left, and farther away our
heavy shells could be seen dropping
on the top of the mountain. "It was
maguificient that is the only way I
can describe it. Later on, I had sev
eral other views, or panoramas,
which were equally good. .
"There were some funny things
happened, which kept us feeling
good. For instance, it was funny to
see about thirty Dutchmen come
double-timing it out of a dugout, or
"pill box," (concrete machine gun
nest) with their hands over their
heads. They seemed to be quite
happy to surrender.
"In one dugout we got a bunch
of Dutch black bread and jam, cigars
and cigarettes. Their cigars are
-great and so is the jam, Dut tne
bread and cigarettes are no gooo.
The bread is heavy and soggy, and
has a sour taste."
Coffee Price to Jump
5 Cents Per Pound on
Nov. I, Say Wholesalers
Wholesale grocers aresending out
notices to the trad- of an increase
of 5 cents per pound on all grades
of coffee to take effect about the
first of November.
The raise is said not to be due to
any sudden change in the market,,
but is an accumulative advance cov
ering a period of about six months,
due to increased cost of railroad and
ocean freight, war risk insurance,
labor and materials, which up to
this time has been carried by the
wholesalers and jobbers.
Statistics compiled from time to
time show that since January 1,
1918, the gross increase in.the cost
of green coffee was more" than 4
cents per pound and that when the
expense of roasting is added, it
brings this increase up to S cents.
It is an interesting fact, they say,
that coffee is the only food, product
that has not advanced in price since
the war. The reason attributed to
its failure to keep pace with other
commodities in matter of price is
that almost all the European coun
tries -have been cut off from the cof
fee market and have been obliged
to use substitutes.
Those familiar with thev trade,
however, say that prices on coffee
from now on will advance rapidly.

ern constituent, who some three
years ago rejected a hundred-dol-lar-a-month
job here in the capitol
without even going to wdrk at it
-because he considered the cost of
living too high, must have been a
man of prophetic vision. He creat
ed a national sensation among job
hunters; politically, he was a
curiosity.
Sixteen years agoa democrat in tlw

the joBs, his party came into power.
His congressman paid back the
years of loyalty with an appoint
ment. But the man took one look
at Washington and its living prices
and went back to Georgia- on the
hrst train.
One is constrained to wonder what
he would do in Washington, now.
Much has been written and said of
the congested conditions in war
busy Washington. Government of
ficials whose task it is to bring in
war workers have been eager not to
have the reports of crowding drive
away hundreds of folks badly need
ed. In fact, they have made every
effort through organization of aids
to newcomers to find homes for
them. On the other hand, real estate
agents and others beseiged by
waves of homeless newcomers ac
tually "have pleaded to have the
country informed that there is no
more room.
No Vacant Houses.
A city wh.ch, three years ago,
was estimated as Having five thous
and vacant houses and three thous
and vacant apartments, now has not
a single vacant one. The -search
for homes has extended to aU the
suburbs, where cottages have trebled
in price. The crowded condition
of hotels and boarding houses, every
traveller knows for himself. One of
them has aptly remarked that on
coming to Washington on business
one has to engage a place in Bal
timore or Philadelphia to sleep.
Soldiers in uniform have been put
to making house to house canvass
asking the occupants tdsdouble up"
as a patriotic duty and take in a
war worker. Absentee household
ers, having large domains which they
have been accustomed to visit once
a year, have in some cases feared
that the premises would be com
mandeered by the government and
hurriedly have returned, to keep
their drawing rooms from being
converted into dormitories.
One may well imagine that where
there is so much difficulty in hous
ings many people; there is equal
trouble in feeding them. Cafes and
cafeterias have sprung up about the
city like mushrooms; it is no. com
mon sight to see a line of war
workers standing in line outside a
restaurant, waiting for a chance to
spend money inside just like a line
of ticket buyers before a theater
box-office.
All Want "Gentlemen Roomers."
Nobody seems to want to take in
a woman war-worker. The few who
advertise rooms, prefer "gentlemen"
or "officers." The discrimination
hurts the girl war worker's feeling
but has no practical result. 'As a
matter of fact the "gentleman" has
just as lively a time getting a room..

Many Advertise.
A reading of the want columns of
the Washington newspapers is sure
to arouse a feeling of pity for the un
fortunates who plead for a place to
live, even at profiteer prices. In
fact, the natives now read the
want columns for amusement in
preference to the funny papers. Here
are a few rypical samples which be
speak the despair of a war worker
trying to live in the capital
the hrst woman confesses at the
outset that she is desperate. She
says so. Here is her plaint:
Desperate: Does anyone feel
enough patriotic duty to accommo
date a refined widow of an army
surgeon wittra cheerful room?
Another feels the stigma of the
"men only" policy. She pleads:
"Will some kind woman who has
a room not for 'men only' rent a
furnished room to two Canadian
girls? Don't want to rent the whole
house just one room."
Some other confess the faith they
have in the old adage that "it pays
to advertise." The first says:
"Does it pay to advertise? Twenty-five
dollars to any person intend
in? to advertise an apartment or
house keeping rooms of any kind
who will give me such information
in advance."
The other is even more positive
in his faith that advertising will
bring results. He says:
"Never failed to get yet what I
wanted by advertising. Everybody
tells me 'no use.' I say 'you're
wrong.' So here goes: Middle-
aged gentleman desires rooms," etc.,
etc.
Another seeker breaks into
rhyme. She advertises thus:
"I nasd a place, a Uttla ipaea,
To bans my oapa and bonnat;
A bed, aoma chairs, no cooklnf carea.
Just a alnele room doggone it!"
Another seems a bit peeved be
cause no one seems to take him in.
He advertises in this fashion:
"I left a comfortable home when
I came here to do war work. Will
not some patriotic citizen take me
in?"
Still another delivers an alti
matum, thus:
"Must have a room within a week
or return .iome. I am one of the
undesired war workers, but I am
quiet and orderly as any man and
do not smok" etc., etc.
Another fellow has "100 talking
machine records, all classical," and
thinks they will be good bait to get
him in, so he advertises for a family
which has a machine. Others ad
vertise Ihey have been "used all
their lives o good furniture and will
not mar it."
There are too many others to de
scribe them all, but compiled in one
volume they would be no less a
human tragedy than "Comedv Hu
maine." What must the. Georgia constitu
ent think if he reads Washington
papers nowadays?

deducting 25 cents per hundred fot
sarking, and 20 cents per hundred
freight from western Nebraska
points to Omaha there would be I
net profit of 55 cents per" hundred
for the commission man, or about
$330.00 on a carload of 60,000 ca.
pacity.
A reporter for The Bee called
upon two of the largest commission
men on the Omaha market to lean
if the quotations of the Department
of Agriculture were correct. Itl
each case the commission men de
clared that there were no Nebraska
potatoes being sold by growers In
this state at those prices, except
possibly in isolated instances wheri
they were not up to grade.
They also stated that they wer(
in the market for any quantity o
Nebraska potatoes graded an
sacked at $1.45 per hundred f. o. b
Omaha, and that there was no pre
judice against Nebraska potatoei
in the Omaha market, though it
the same bulletin Omaha commis
sion men were selling Colorado
sacked round white potatoes, at
$2.00 while the Greeley, Colo., mar
ket quoted the same grade as sell
ing at $1.40 per hundred f. o. b. thai
point, with the freight rate frffrn
Greeley to Omaha 44 cents per hun
dred. In the same bulletin Omaha com
mission houses were reported sell
ing Minnesota sacked Red River
Ohios U. S. grade 1 at $2.40 per
hundred, while Morehead, Minn., re
ports the same grade as selling at
$1.65 per hundred at that point. The
fre:ght rate from Mofehead to Oma
ha is 31 1-2 cents per hundred.
One of Omaha's largest retail
dealers stated that under tic new
ruling of the food administrator he
would be compelled to sell No. 1
white graded potatoes at 2 1-2 cents
per lb. which cost him 2 1-4 cents.

According to the testimony of tlia
multiplied thousands who have used
it, there has never been a tnedicine
so thoroughly adapted to the needs
of a run-down system as Tar.lac. It
is not only a successful restorative,
but also a valuable preventive
and, if taken m time, will strength
en and fortify the system against
infection by influenza, la grippe,
colds, pneumonia and other germ
spreading diseases.
Among the many well known
Nebraska People who have realized
the powers of Tanlac are Mr. and
Mrs. R. H. Stewart of 317 North
15th street, Omaha. Mr. Stewart
nas been in the employ of the Chi
cago, Minneapolis & Omaha rail
road for the past seven years and
is popular with all who know him.
"I have gained nineteen poundi
in less than thirty days by taking
Tanlac," said Mr. Stewart, while in
a Sherman & McConnell drug store,
recently, "and now I'm feeling just
fine all the time. My wife has also
gained in weight and enjoys better
health than she has in a long time.
Before I took Tanlaj I was in a
badly run-down condition and had
been losing ground for two years or
more. My appetite was very poor.
In fact I had no desire for food of
any kind, had to be very careful
about my eating, and suffered s
great deal from indigestion and gas
on my stomach. I was so dizzy at
times tht I could hardly keep
from falling when I stooped over.
My kidneys were all out of order
and I was very restless. My sleep
seemed to do me very little eood ar.d
I would get up in the mornings
feeling worse than when I lay down
at night.
"Mrs. Stewart was affected very
much the same way I was and af
ter reading of the fine results oth
ers had gotten from Tanlac we de
cided to give it a trial, and now
we both think it is simply great.
It was only a few days after start
ing on it until our appetites wert
splendid, so big, in fact, that we

haven't a sign of stomach trouble
or indigestion cow, my kidneys are
also in good shape ajid all my tired,
dizzy feelings aye gone. I sleep
splendidly, get up in the mornings
thoroughly refreshed and full of
life and energy. Tanlac has cer
tainly proven its value beyond
doubt with us and I cheerfully
recommend it to everybody."
