FOR FRITZ'S SAKE
By MAUNA COWLES.

"It l perfectly outrageous for yoa to
go on talking Gorman," Mrs. Van Ber
gen told her daughter Freda, as they
approached the. hotel where the Van
Bergens had their winter apartments.
Freda raised two Teutonic eyes to ber
mother appeallngly. "But Frlti can
tot tmderstand English," aha said.
"Can you, Frltil, dear!" At which a
very long short-legged dachshund,
whose silky coat showed Freda's de
Toted care, wagged his tall and flapped
bis cars.
"Well, of course yon will do as you
choose you always do," said Mrs. Van
Bergen. "But I think you are taking
risks. lou are a perfect Gretchcn
type."
"But Tan Bergen Isn't German It s
Holland Dutch," Insisted Freda. "And
anyway. Tin sure I dont look like a
py
"You can never tell," reiterated the
mother. "Sometimes simple-looking
people are shrewd enough, and it
would be Just like the Huns to make
an accomplice of s simple utue
Gretchen and thata what you look
like."
The next morning, as she was tak
ing ber breakfast In the Van Bergen
apartment, with the cherished Frits
sitting on a cushion In a chair at ber
aide for Freda breakfasted an hour
or so before ber parents ehe glanced
at the headline In a newspaper, emit
ted a little shriek of fright, and then
began to fondle Frlti'sft long ears
because sha needed some encourage
ment. The article whose headlines she
had read told of the taking of a girl as
a spy, and of the suspicion entertained j
by the secret service men of three or
four women accomplices. One of them,
the account said, was a blonde young
German girl of the perfect G retch en
type. Soon, however, Freda forgot her
fright and abo was light-hearted and
Joyous when she started forth from
the hotel with Frits.
When Freda returned her mother
had gone out tor a shopping tour and
again her only companion was Frits.
He sat beside ber as she practiced a
Beethoven sonata on the piano. The
telephone sounded and presently her
mother's maid came to her to say that
a Mr. Drew wished to speak to her.
But as Freda had never heard of a
Mr. Drew and did not wish to Inter
rupt her practicing she asked the maid
to take the message.
"He says he is very sorry, miss, to
disturb you, but all he wants to know
Is whether or not you're a German."
Freda thought immediately of the
headlines she had seen in the paper.
"I can't Imagine why he wants to
know." she said. "Will you please ask
him who he is and what his business
Is."
The maid returned, saying that Mr.
Drew realised that he had been abrupt,
but he would call and explain himself
at the apartment
All Freda's fears returned ana, gain
ering -Frits la her arms, she hurried
to her room.
Presently the maid came to her
room, bearing a card. Under the name
of Mr. Drew there was the simple
words, "National Detective Bureau,"
and the address of that concern.
"He says if be could please to see
you. he would explain why he was in
truding," the maid said.
Freda's round blue eyes were round
er and bluer than ever, and her heart
had never before beaten so fast. "If
I had only taken mother's advice," she
whispered to Frits in German. "Tell
him I'm I'm ill," she said to the maid.
"And if he starts to search the apart
ment," ahe added with trembling voice.
"Why, you'll know rve gone down the ;
fire escape."
Mr. Drew did not attempt to search
the apartment, but he told the maid
he was extremely sorry to have both
ered Miss Van Bergen, and that he was
surprised that she was ill, since he
had seen her that morning. .
Freda kept to her room the rest of
the day. She did not want to go with
out dinner, for she wasjmngryi Be;
sides; if sFe said she was ill. she would
be treated as an invalid, and this aha
detested. What she Anally did was to
slip away before dinner time, leaving
word with her mother's maid that she
had gone to dine with a chum and
would be back right after dinner. The
chum with whom she wished to dine
was not at hoine, aud what refresh
ments she did have that night she got
at a French pastry shop.
When she came back, she found her
mother and father, whom she had not
seen before that day, and there was
something In her mother's manner as
she greeted her in the hall that told
her that a guest was present, and that
ahe should be on her best behavior.
The guest was Henry Drew. Her fa
ther had recently discovered blm to
bo the son of one of his best friends.
Everything in Freda's parents' man
ner showed supreme approval of the

young man.
"I especially tried to get In touch
with you this morning," Mr. Drew told
Freda as soon as they could have a
little tete-a-tete conversation. "K was j
awfully impertinent of me, but you
see rm working for my uncle tha one
that has a detective business and
rm on a shop-lifting case trying to
locate some stolen goods."
Then you you dont think Fm a
spyr she said. "And you dont think

hund they've been trying to fmdr
"I think you are the most charming
little girl in the world." said Mr. Drew.

A mother who Is a Red Cross work

ter the following letter she bad re
ceived from ber son in France:
"If yoo could have seen me yeater
day, when 1 left trenches which the
rains have turned into open sewers,
even you would never have known ma,
I was mud from bead to foot, so cow
ered with crawling things that the
poorest tramp in the world would hart
run from me, and I fairly ached for
rest
"Ton see, my flrst furlough bsd be

We were packed Into .a freight car.
Travel Is so congested we spent most
of our time stopping. At last, when
nlgbt came, we were dumped out at a
railway Junction with the information
that the train for Paris would be

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application, ni they cannot reach
the direued portion of the ear. There
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you hav a rumbllns; sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
wilt be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir

"I tell you I was discouraged. Thea
suddenly across the tracks from our
station I saw an American Red Cross
canteen, and all my troubles were at
an end.
."Lots of people must nave the same
Idea of these canteens that I used to
have just little shscks where yoa
were bended out a cup of sloppy cof
fee. We are all wrong. These Red
Cross places beat a New York hotel
for variety of service, even If they
don't bsve the gilt furniture and tip
takers. Here Is what happened to tue:
"First I bsd s bath, a real one. with
plenty of soap and water. While I
was getting clean my clothes, every
stitch, were cleaned and sterilized.
Then 1 had a meal of real Amerh-aa
cooking, actually sitting down at a ta
ble to eat It After that I went Into ibe
canteen barber shop and bad a shave
and haircut. Then, being a gentlenma
of leisure, I strolled Into the camera
movie theater and saw some good
American fllma. However, I soon turn

breakfast, I am sitting in ihe cam wo
writing this letter to you and wuiimg

can't possibly Imagine what these Ited

PORTLAND, Ore,, May IS. Re
publican .voters resistered their
approval of United States Senator
Charles L, McNary and Governor
James Wlthyoombe wtth a vim at the
primary election Friday.
Complete returns from 21 J out of
413 precincts In Multnomah county
show that both are leading by a two
to one vote, and Incomplete returns
from up-state counties lutllcate that
this proportion Is prevailing. In ftiom.
For the Republican nomination for
short terra senator, ExSenator Fred
V. Mulkey Is Vadlng A. 11. Purton In
the complete returns from the 21S
Multnomah precincts by approximate
ly 2000 votes, and his nomination is
certain.
U J. Simpson, of North Bend, Is sec
ond In the gubernatorial contest In
Multnomah county, Gus C. Moser
third, and Secretary f State Olcott
fourth. Secretary Otcott's strength
In the upstate counties wit undoubt
edly put him Into third place, and he
might crawl up to second.
Ralph Williams has won tho Re
publican nomination for national
committeeman over Pruce Dennis by
a huge majority. Mr. Williams is
maintaining a lead of two to one over
his opponent In Mu tnomah county,
and indications are that hla victory
In the state generally wll be equally
as great
While C. A. Johns is ahead of Judge
Percy Kelly in Multnomah county by
several thousand votes, returns from
the valkw are giving Judie Kelly
good majorities, and the Indications
are that this contest will be close.
Labor Commissioner Hon" Is second
to William Adams in Multnomah
county, eading hlra by one and a half.
Judcn Rvan is third. The latter is
exceptionally strong in the valley and
has slso considerable strength In
Eastern and Southern Oregon aud the
contest appears to lie between him
and Hoff.
Charles Gram , has a slight lead over
Dalziel f6r labor commissioner, but
Dalziel Is gaining over Gram In a con
siderable number of up-state counties.
The contest lies between th3 two and
who will win is uncertain. Percy R.
Cupper is leading in the up-state
counties for water superintendent and
J. B. Schaefer in Multnomah. Cupper
will likely carry away the nomina
tion. Fred Williams, of Grants Pass, is
ahead of Frank J. Miller for public
service commissioner by approxi
mately 1000 votes in 213 Multnomah
precincts. He will likely carry Mult
nomah county, but it is believed ths
upstate counties will ra ly sufficient
ly to Mr. Millers candidacy to give
him the nomination.

0L1EN ASK FOR
RATIONING PLAN
American Women Volunjccr to-
Buy Fixed Amounts of Meat,
Bread Flour, Sugar
and Butter.
PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK.
tda Supplements U. I, Food Adminis
tration's New Home Card Now
In 10,000,000 Horn.,
The women of America, who ere
anxious to do thslr great purt to the
winning of the war, are now, as a
whole, familiar with Ike most Impor
tant aspects of food coiissrvatlou. The
Home Card, both m Its orlglual form
aud lu the revised edltluu for 1018,
which provides for two wheatlesa days,
one uieallvss day a wk, In addition
to a whea lions meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a voroua campaign lu lO.mxi.OoO
Amurlcau homes, Au Intelligent and
cousclvtitlous olmervauce of the Home
Card's rnjiilreincma Is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration bus had a
great many requtata, however, particu
larly from the holm's of the wull to-tlo,
that it should Issue a workfd out plan
for a voluntary system of rationing.
This dsslre for a voluntary ration
springs from two csumo first, be
cause It Is far slmpltr for the house
wife to save food when she has a eorv
creU working plsn by which to pre
cvd, and, second, bscause the loyal
women of America fltslre, unselfishly,
to put thtmsclvs on the asms basis
as the wom(i of ths Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad
ministration Is almost the same as
that adopted In England for voluntary
observance. AH ovtr the United King
dom, 'In hundreds of houses there
hsngs In the front window a card with
the stirring plsdgs, "IN HONOfl
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION.
AL 8CALE OP VOLUNTARY RA
TIONS."
The ration recommended by tbe
Food Administration, and adopted first
In New York city, whence the Idea has
spread through the entire country, la
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Mtat Reef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and bashed) ; mutton,
lamb and veal (mutton by
preference) ,. 2H Iba
luttsr H lb.
Cooking Fats (margarine, lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils) 14 lb.
Wheat Flour (for use In cook
ing, gravies, etc., where
corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted) lb.
Victory Bread (containing at
least 20 per cent of a sub
stitute for wheat flout).... Iba.
Sugar (Including sll sugar
used on the table and In
cooking and all sweetmeats
and candles, but not that
used for canning and pre
serving) lb.
The Items listed shove are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may be used as necessary, and chil
dren, of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
he used as freely as Is desired.
The above ration Is In no wise In
tended to supplant the Home Card,
hut rather to supplement It. It has
been published; with the Idea that It
will he a very real aid to the Ameri
can woman In her splendid effrt to
carry out the great food conservation
program. .
