factured during the present himihoii,"
declared Mr, Page, "and If Htigar Is
to be plentiful and ample for preserv
ing and canning purposes there must
be marked conservation not only by
commercial users who produce less
essential products such as m)ft drinks,
candy, etc.. but also upon the part of
the Individual consumers. It Is the
patriotic duty of every American rlU
sen to consume lens of the products

Bugar than Is necesary for any pur

"The American nation Is stripping
to (he waist for this light and non
esHeutlal industries must go by the
board It has not been necessary
until this time to curtail our use of
sugar to the extent that is now re
queued. It Is necHHsary now and our
people ruuHl realize that, Junt as ln the
case of wheat and meat, they must
save until 11 hurts. The Food Admin
istration doesn't want any one to do
without e.reals. coffee, tea, etc., and
especially It doesn't want children
and Invalids deprived of the amount
of sugar necessary ln their food for
their proper growth and development
but It does want and it will expect
every patriotic adult to confine their
use of sugar to not exceeding three
pounds per month at the very most.
This Is the measure of cons erv at ion
and those three pounds a month
should Include any candy, soft drinks,
etc., that are used."

I saw you make poor elgium groan und bleed;
I saw you crucify in Northern France,
As olien always as you had ihe chance,
A woman's honor and n child's pure soul,
U'hul shall you answer when God calls the roll?
You are a demon wiih fires and fumes of hell;
And ihink you noi that history's page shall tell
To men unborn your base barbaric tale;
II shall be lold; for hisiory does not fail !
You shall not curse the world and go unwhipped.
Those whom your bruial blood-lust starved and stripped,
Shall lay the scourage in deep and scarlet stripe,
Woe unto you when vengeance groweih ripe !
If not so now grim as your fate must be-
You shall become the scorned of hisiory;
You link your name with Ninevah and Tyre
A wild beast playing with Promethean fire!
Beware, beware, the pale white ranks thai grow,
A mist of blood clings to iheir words of snow;
Pale babies, wan mothers millions strong they come;
You shall not win; Death beats your funeral drum I

THE RAINBOW,
GOD'S CHILDREN, FOR WHEN THE
SHOULD LET LHEIK TIGHT SHINE
RAINBOW.
The rainstorm had passed, and ihe black clouds were reireaiing in
the east. The sun was near selling, but its face was clear and bright,
and ihe world was beautiful and clean and glistening with raindrops.
In the sky hung the rainbow, God's pronrse 10 man that ihe world is
safe in His keeping forever.
The great lamp in ihe sky, shining down through millions of rain
drops, made ihe specirum, which we call a rainbow because it comes
with the rain. How beautiful it was ! But it was only the sunlight
broken into the colors that compose it. Each had its own place and its
own beauty. Th rainbow would not have been the perfect picture il
was with any of the colors gone.
There is another Sun and another Rainbow. Christ, called the Sun
of Righteousness, is the "light of the world," ihe true light or the
white light. He shines for the world through his people, for He said,
"Ye are the light ol the world." The light of Jesus Christ is broken
up into ihe many different colors as it passes through the lives of his
people. None of us can be all that Christ is, the pure white light, but
we can have our place in his specirum or his sunshine. He wants his
people to be the world's rainbow to beautify the dark cloud of sin and
sorrow and death that has covered ihe world through us.
As some of the rainbow colors are more brilliant than others, so
some of Christ's people on earth make a greater showing than others;
but each one of us is a part of Him if we shine with his light. He does
noi want us to try to be something thai we are not, but to be that part
of Himself thai He has given us to be. He wants us to do our bes'
and to be content thai He has thought fit to shine through us.
How important it is these days, when darkness has covered the
world and men are inclined lo doubi and despair, that God's children,
for whom the Sun of Righteousness
also so shine that the world may see
and hopefully pfcainsi the angry cloud

The papers chronicle day by

driving the Turks before thetn in this latest, greatest and most
decisive crusade.
If the followers of Mahomet
followers of Christ it will surely be in the plain of Esdraelon,
one of tlio natural battlefields of the world. It is singular how
some places lend themselves inevitably to conflict. Tho plain
of Jezreul, to give it another name, is one of these. It has boon
fought over continually since ThothmcB defeated tho Hittites in
the dawn of recorded history.
syrian, Babylonian, Scythian,
tested for its mastery in the
German, Arabian, and Turk from Ocdfrey and Richard and
Saladin to Napoleon drenched its fertile soil with blood in more
modern times. May the forthcoming be the laBt of its many
battles, und Allenby the last of tho long line of crusaders.
One of the most decisive of its eonllicts upon the plain oc
curred in Vi'M B. C. when Barak, the Lightning, inspired by
Deborah led ten thousand men down the slopes of Mount Tabor
in a night onfall and surprise
Jubin of lluzor, under the command of Sisera. Tho Hazorites
wore disastrously defeated, driven in panic torror down the
narrow cut by tho Kishon, then in full flood, and killed or
drowned in lttrgo numbers.
Deborah made a great song about the triumph. One stanza
runs this way:
"Curse ye Meroz, vaid the Angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly
the inhabitants thereof; because
the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty."
No one knows w litre Meroa lay. No ruined vestiges remain
to identify it. There is no other
history. There is no ground even for speculation about it Yet
for over thirty-two centuries it has been pilloried in its infamy
in that immortal song. Whatever its prosperity and its works,
whatever its hopes und achievements, Ihe loves and hates, the
successes or failures, of its people they are all forgotten in the
blistering, withering condemnation of the singer. It stands as
a place accursed forever. Perhaps its utter oblivion is the re
sult of the merited condemnation,
Shull there be written against our city, against our land, the
curse of Meroz? Shall we apply to these and to ourselves this
slackers' text? Or shall we come to the help of the Lord today,
tomorrow and foreTer, in the great conflict now, and at all
times, being waged in Europe und everywhere against sin and
the dovil?
Curse ye Merox'r Non nobis, Domino Not unto us, Oh Lord!

COLDS ARE COSTLY LUXURY.

luwinK Carefully a Few Simple
Rules, II Is Declared.
I
Common colds have been cs- ,
tiuiati'd to cost the pKpnlutiiiiiH 1
of certain states $;,imio,iioO a
year. Really, considering the
advanced prices of medicine
und the wages lost, only Ihei
well-to-do can aH'ord to catch j
colli, the New Haven Times- j
Leader observes. I
But in this matter the poor- j
st can become philanthropists.
Whoever manages to get
through without his annual
sneezing or coughing spell is
conferring a benefit on the
whole community. I
There two ways of cutting '
tho high cost of colds for your ,
own srke and of proving your- I
self a public benefactor as well:
1. Avoid exposure to infec
tion when a member of the
family brings a cold germ into ;
the house, and if you catch a
cold, sneeze and cough behind
your handkerchief and avoid
infecting others.
i. Prink two quarts of wa- '
ter a day; sleep with your .bed
room windows wido open nev
er mind the weather outside
cover up; sit, stand and walk
erect, and walk every day in
the open air; keep cloan; eat
slowly and do not eat too much.
Holiday feasts aro responsible
for many a hard cold.
Build up your vitality and
your physical resistance and ;
taking cold will cease to be a
part of your yearly history and
a tax on your income.
