Many Instruments Needed
for Fighting Planes.
Before an airplane can be put into
Military service it must be equipped
with at least nine delicate aeronautic
instruments, some of which are abso
lutely essential to exact flying, and all
•Mitribute to the successful operation
ct a plane. One gives the pilot his
location as to height and direction;
others tell his speed through 'he air,
the speed of his propeller, the amount
of gasoline carried, water t~mpera
ture, operation of the oiling system,
and guide his "banking" on turns.
Another necessary article is the oxy
gen-supplying appartus without which 1
an aviator could not climb to any
great height.
For operation of actual corouat
planes, such as observing, photograph
ing, bombing, and fighting plant-,
other complicated and expensive in
struments and sets of appartus are,
Kecessary. Among them a-e machine J
guns, gun mounts, bomb rn'-ks, bcmb- 1
dropping devices, bom'i sights, radio
and photographic appartiis, electri
oally heated clothing, lights and flares.
These bring the total cost of equip
ment for an airplane to several thous
and dollars each, depending upon the
type of plane.

Food Administrator. Mr. W. F. Carter
has just received full information
from the F.*)d Ailminiatration ™»ard

Every druggiat, soda fountain, ran

except the household, hotels, restau

which are controlled by other maana,
ia a IT er ted by thia new plan.
For preserving, canning. making ice
cream, medicines and other essential
products, full quantities jf augar re

facturers may «wure sugar after Ml'
15 is an follows: They must make ap
plication to the Food Administration
at Raleigh for blank* upon which to
make detailed iwoni statement of the
quantities of sugar they used last
year. Upon satisfying itself that
this statement is correct the Food Ad
ministration will determine the al
lotment of sugar which such applicant
will he allowed to have and will issue
to him certificates for the quantity.
The blanks for statement by mer
chants have already been printed ami
can be secured upon application to the
Sugar Distribution Division of the
Food Administration at Raleigh.
Food Administrator Page has an
nounced that any violations of the new
rules and regulations governing the
sales of sugar will be dealt with pro
mptly and drastically; and about the
best that any dealer or user of sugar
can expect if they violate the law is
to be put out of business during the
period of th« war. All (ugar refiners,
hrakera, jobbers and retailer* are sub
ject to the new rules.
The new plan of "rationing" manu
facturers using sugar will in no wise
affect the present ruling of the Food
Administration governing retail sales
of sugar to consumers or the sale of
sugar to individuals who have a legi
timate demand for it for canning and
preserving purposes. The whole plan
is designed to assure a sufficient sup
ply for these purposes and it is the
non-essentials or less essential indus
tries which have to get along with re
duced supplies such as so It drink
fountains ard bottling works.
Regulations for bread-making in
Sweden permit only nine kinds, the
weight and price being prescribed by
law. Only rye, wheat, barley, or oat
flour may be u.-ed, and for ordinary
bread the use of butter, lard or other
fat, milk or cream is prohibited.
Rheumatism.
If you are troubled with chronic or
muscular rheumatism Kive Chamber

from pain which It affords is alone
worth many times its coat. Obtain

"A Great Net of Merry Drawn Through

We'll Win
What does it mean to you to know that your American Red Cross:
Is .supporting 50,000 French children.
Semis supplies to :'.,423 French military hospitals.
Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings.
Is operating thirty canteens at the front line.
Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 30,000
French soldiers a day.
Operates a moving hospital in units, accommodating 1,000 men.
Is operating a children's refuge in one part of the war zone; and in another
a medical center, and traveling dispensary .both capable of accommodating more than
2,000 children.
Has opened a long chain of warehouses stocked with hospital supplies, food,
soldiers' comforts, tobacco, blankets, etc.. all the way from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier.
Has warehouse c&pacity for 100,000 tons.
Has 400 motor cam and ^Derates 7 garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to Italy from France
within two weeks after it began operating in the former country.
Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the
United States declared war on Austria.
Started a thousand different activities in Italy at the time that nation was
in its most critical condition.
Has established 5 Tiospitals in England and operates a workshop for hospi
tal supplies employing 2,000 women.
And that 120,000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris head
quarters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered throughout
the United States.
What does all this mean to you? And that is but a fraction of the
work your Red Cross has done and is doing. It means that without this cease
less, heroic work of the American Red Cross we could never win this war.
Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep Italy in the fight for
Liberty would not have been possible.
Without your Red Cross thousands of French soldiers now gallantly
fighting for you at the front would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of
food.
And great and wonderful as has been the work of the American Red
Cross in the past, still greater and more wonderful must it be in the future—for
now your boy is in the fight.
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England, Italy, Serbia, Rou
mania and little Belgium. It must give them all constantly increasing help, •
for the men of these countries have been fighting our battles.
But now we must all redouble our efforts and sacrifices for our Red
Cross because a million mothers' sons are going to earn- the stars and stripe?
to the greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting for honor and lib
erty.
With the help of your Red Cross your boy will win.
