FOR FRITZ'S SAKE By MAUNA COWLES. (Copyright, HUH, by th McClurs Nowispa- pcr tiynaioi.; "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 IBM III W LITTLE CHANGE 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 Fm that Gretehen girl with the dacha hund they've been trying to fmdr "I think you are the most charming little girl in the world." said Mr. Drew. BED, BATH AND BOARD IN JUNCTION CANTEEN Brings Heaven i little Nearer to U American Sammie. A mother who Is a Red Cross work er In her borne town gave to ber cbap 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 gun, and I caught a train for Parts, 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 along the next day. 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.

Canteen Like New York Hotel. "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 ed In for the night into 8. clean, dry bed that felt like heaven or hoim "And now this morning, after a tine breakfast, I am sitting in ihe cam wo writing this letter to you and wuiimg comfortably for my train. Yon Just can't possibly Imagine what these Ited Cross women sre doing for us soldiers and for the French and English, too. Each canteen takes care of thoustmds every day. "They make us feel like human be ings once again and give us the etrve to go on with this game of licking !h Kaiser. And when we win you '-an give a good share of the victory to the American Red rua." 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. HUN SPIES IN ITALY WASHINGTON, May 21.

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. . CHERRYVILLE CHKRRYVILLK, May 17.
