S.V Currin Says So, Mrs. Duvlton In an Illinois pralrlo town lives u widow who launders soventeon Das kots of wash a week nnd cvory night thanks God for having put pity Into tho hearts of womon. To her came ono day a letter from her only son. Ho was then at Camp Funston, Kansas, lenrnlng to be a soldier. Tho let tor begged her to como and Reo hi in boforo he w a h sent to France. The mother opened tho tin bauk In which she had been hoarding hor dlmos und ipiarterH against this day. The money was scarcely enough. "Novortholess nhu started, alio walked tho Drat eighteen miles. Thou her strength gave out, and nho took a train, Olio did not know that visitors to Camp Kunslou stay In Junction City, eleven miles away. Ho sho got off tho train nt Port Itlley. An officer net her right nnd sho reached June (Ion City after dark. .Somehow she found a rooming-house. Homo otio thare stole five dollar from her five of tho precious dollars shu had earned over tlio wash tub and saved by walking, Terror-stricken, she crept out of thu house when no one wim looking. , Later In tho night a soldier found her trembling In tho street, and took tier t tho rooms of tho Young Worn en's Chrlilbiu Association, rooms which tho War Work Council had ripened as n clenrlng-houso for trou bles. Tho poor frightened woman was put to bed, hut sho was too miserable to sleep, Thu matron got up at daybreak, built a fire, and com forted, her. Tho son's commanding officer was reached by telephone early In tlm morning, nud thu buy rntno to his mother on tho first trol ley-oar he could catch, The two spent long, low-voiced hours together, perhaps tho Inst hours they will havo this side of heaven, livery moment was ns pre rlous us n month had been last year. Tho old lady had still one present worry. Tho boy's bud cold might turn Into pneumonia If sho left him. Hut shu hail not money enough to stay another night nud buy a ticket homo. When the matron told her that hor bed was free, alio broke down and cried and cried. "I did not know there was so much pity left In tho world," shu sobbed. Hint stnyed till her boy's cold was better, Then sho went back to her seventeen washings nnd her memo ries. Itoruuso of tho certainty of just vuch cades us this was (loverumentnl sanction given to tho activities of tho War Work Council of the Y, W. C. A. From the 1'aolflo to tho Alantlo Its fluid oxlouds. Kvory state In the Union has Its members, Urgent ap peal for help unt Its ouuso and Its Inspiration. Women of every race and creed -aro Its wards. The Nsk of tho War Work Council Is tremend ous. When tho United States entered tho great war tho Young Women's Christian Association was, as always, working among women. With tho call to now duties Its members did not abandon their old responsibilities. Tho War Work Council was formed as an emergency measure to tnko care of tho womon who were caught In somo of thu mazes of war. Just as tho parent organization has taken caro of them through many years of peace. Tho varied activities decided upon by tho War Work Council fob low closely tho needs ot tho differ ent communities of tho country Sec retaries trained In tho methods ot the organization were sent out broadcast. Thoy wore Instructed to report to the National Hoard of tho Young Women's Christian Associa tions In New York tho lines of work which could ho host followed In the vnrlous localities. Theso secretaries work In closo cooperation with min isters, women's clubs, chambers of commerce, churches, military officials, and charitable societies. The rec ord of u day's doings of n secretary reads like n novel, an economic treatise, nnd n psychologlcnl essay all compressed Into u llnc-n-day entry. A secretary nont out by tho War Work Council must bo cqunl to any emergency. Miss Lillian Hull nl Chll- llcothe, close by Camp Sherman, hur rying nlong tho street .nt nightfall came upon n forlorn couple, A Fin nish soldier had found n job for Ids wife, so that sho might come on from Cleveland. When shu arrived sho was refused tho place because sho sxko no lCngllsh. Their money had buen nil spent on thu railroad fare, nnd the soldier was duo back ut Camp. Tho situation was had, Thanks to Miss Hull n Chllllcnthlnn housewife now has an Industrious and grateful domestic, n soldier Is happy, nud a soldier's wife Is safe. Army folks often benefit even moro directly from thu secretaries' work. In llremerton, Wnshlngtou, n secre tary wus accosted on the street by n sailor. Kite was n slender woman, and ho hint mistaken her for a girl. "May 1 wulk nlong with voir " ho asked. "Surely." alio replied with mnturo understanding and Intuition, "What Is the matter? Are you homesick'" Tho bill's story came out with a rush. Yes, ho was homesick, so hopelessly, despairingly heartsick that ho was on the verge of deserting. Hut this woman gave him genuine sympathy and encouragement. She saved him to his country. From north, south, east nnd west theso pioneer secretaries sont In their reports. Tho uppnlllng sire ot tho undertaking was revealed to tho War Work Council. Systumatltatlon ot the work whs tho first step. Out ot the multitudinous phase certain Hints of work wore revealed. (Continual ..) . J War Time Sweeteners A MEKICA has aevoral excellent war tinio Hwoet- A oners that will bo used largely during the M shortage in the sugar supply. M They are maple Hiigur, syrups, lionoy and molasses anil may be used in preparing des i vior8 nmj 0i.01. (HhIios renuirincr Hweetoninir. When a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar tho liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. Ono-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent to one-third of a cun of honev. about one- half cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth ot a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. Ono table spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one third tablespoons of corn sugar. Sugar may bo saved by the uso of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on tho breakfast cereals. Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should bo used to take tho placo of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may bo preserved without sugar. It may bo added when sugar is more plentiful. Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of tho amount may bo replaced by another sweetener, Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) ap ples, cherries, strawberries and black caps. When ready to use they may havo added tho needed sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is moro plentiful fruit juices may be made Into jellies or may bo used as fruit juices with or without sugar, ns beverages, fruit gelatins and frozen desserts. Fresh fruits supply tho placo of sugar in tho diet. Thoy should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarco may bo mado of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and cakes.

Note tha labal on your pspsr, To Our Many Friends and Patrons:- For about four years now we have been conducting a Grocery Department under great handicap in a little room just half large enough to carry the stock. There is no room for display and the main stock being carried in the'basement creates an endless amount of man power in carrying it up and down the steps. So we have decided to simply close out the stock. The business will be done as . usual until Oct. 14th, but arrangements have been made to dispose of what stock is left after this week's business is over. We desire to thank our loyal patrons for the nice business they have given us and the consideration they have shown and to say that we appreciate the patience they have endured during the time we have been selling groceries with this handicap. The space used for the Groceries will be given over to the other lines, particularly the Men's Department, which will be enlarged. The firm of Bonham & Currier will remain the same exactly minus the Groceries Your credit is established with us and we hope to merit an increasing business from you in Dry Goods, Shoes, Notions, Blouses, Skirts, Umbrellas and the thousand things that go to make up a store that caters to the trade that appreciates good merchandise at a moderate price and the service that war times permit. An account that is owed for groceries may be settled gradually as we do not intend to crowd anyone. Please understand that beginning October 14th the door into our Grocery Depart ment will be locked. Thanking you again for the business given us and trusting we may still retain your name on our books.thru the other lines of merchandise, we are, Yours very truly, BONHAM & CURRIER Bri -)& irri rri Forward!
