Offer Ih Made. (lb- Clarence Iliidlngion Holland) PARIS, AugUBt 1. Uy Mail.) 7f you want a variety of things Unit ain't, what do you do? If you have oovornl thousand men on your hands who are asking for candy which doos not, oxlflt, for cnnkleB and niaccr.roous.' and J'lin, -d there Isn't Bitgar or cliocoVitc or flour or. dvc.ns to bake In, what's the answer?; mild is the Bltuaticn in which liny .folin, a divisional socrotnry of flic Y. iM.-C. A. found hlmsolf. He JiuA to tuke care of the Aiiiericun soldiers ' in a big district, so he took one long look about tlio coun try and got on the job. Klrst, thore was the ovorywhore present cry for candy. Sagur could not bo had, chocolato could not be had, and John had no facilities to manufacture. He discovered a candy factory that had been obliged to shut down because of tho war. That Was one pclnt gained! He had Hid plnco to woj-k, Ijut nothing to work wli'.h. Then he went to the army. 5 .; "Yon want enndy: Come, across with sugar from tho commissary.. For every pound of sugar you fur iilsli mo I'll return';two' pounds' of the best candy." i: . . . "You're on," said the army. So John got his sugar. - Bnt ho had to havo chocolato, fhore was a local chocolate man ufacturer, but ho could not soli to the Y. M. C. A. . bocausc, all his product was taken by the authorl. tics. This man, John discovered, had bought a machine to bo used in ' his business. Tho 'machine weighed six hundred pounds and It was a hundred milo.i away. The. railroad would not deliver It. It waB the' war. Private freight of tiny weight coul not bo handled. The manufacturer had waited eight month' for his machine. John went to him nnd said: "If you will manufacture for mo 2000 klloB of chocolate, ovory four weeks I'll get your doo-dad for you." 0h; ; Monnlour, It ocs ' eonipossi. hie." said the manufacturer. "You could not got mo my machine." "Will you make me my choco-. late?" ';But yess, Monsieur If you de liver uy machine." That night John sent a motor truck and two men ufter the ma chinery and next "noon it wis sot clown at the door of tho chocolate manufacturer's place' of business. Since then, tho "Y" has gotten all the chocolate It needs in that local, lty. Now tho "Y" Is turning nut for American soldiers In that dis trict COO pounds of first class .cho- cnlate cream cniuly ovory weol cream cniuly ovory auJI the output is Increasing. , Cookies and niaecaroons and cakes were wanted. John found I Idle bakeries. Again he wont to the army. Lot me have sugar and flour and wo'll mnko you sweet cake,. Maccaroons enme first be cnifso they require no flour only almondR and Biigar. In. a matter of days he Y. M. C. A. was able In furnish mucon-onns at a figure two francs under the market price, Now Hiey are making glazed I foil, dant and .cookies that make your mouth water, and ; regular Ameri can biscuit. Alreidy they have turned out 8,000 kilns of cakes, which translated into American liienns 16.000 pounds, or eight tons. And all without material or resources, or holp from , Paris. I Jam was wnlitcd.j Tho district ls rich In fruits. A Jam f.ictory shut down by tho war, was dlscov-i ered and set to work. Tho 'Y bought the fruit and skirmished , thi sugar. The Initial deal was for 12.000 three-franc pulls of Jam. This was undersqtllng the local; market by fifty centimes or ten cents. Another 25 centimes was 'to be returned to tho Boldlcr whon he brought back the Jam pall. In two weeks the 12.000 palls won sold to the American boys, but not a liail was brought back. Every soldier you mcjt had ono fastened to his belt. . . Tho rltuation had gotten to this point, j fl'he colonel In charge of a icfHaln camp called up. "How about candy? My 'men aro yelling for sweetR!" "Two hundred pounds on tho trurk for you this minute." So the local enterprise or the Ren Triangle Is recognized by the army officially. Men or a hospital train which nwkes this town once In a while, were complaining about their diffi culty in getting cigarettes and cho colate end supplies. "We're In n place an hour; then- out. No chance) to buy. Then we may be shunted ofr on an Isolated side track to st-iy for days until need ed. What can you do for us?" The major in charge or the train came to see about it. "We'll Install a canteen nn your train," Bald the "Y" man. We'll stock you up, and you pay for It , as you see it. Account to us when you hnvc a chance. We'll be ready to restock vnu at any lime.

She Is sixteen years old,, too young to hove. been u member of the "battalion of dentil," but how she Is training to bo an American soldier... how long and what you need, and wo'U hnvo II on tho spot." It worked beautifully. Now ev ery couple of weeks a -wire comes to tho 'Y," "Do in town forty min utes. Arrive four. Need this that ami tlio other.", And always tho stuff Ih there for- them. Inci dentally the "Y" has provided them a complete, baseball ou-'flt to bo usod during those weary Inter vals when they aro tied up on side tracks. Again: The tobacco supply gave out.

It was enough, to keep Uvi I boys ill smoking until, their ' ; supply of American tobacco was re,-, plenishcd. Tanlac at I'utman's Drug Store. ., .,. 8-22,3t SUMMER COMPLAINT.
