Letter from England,
A Censored Communication of.
Extraordinary Interest
We believe the following letter
written by Luton Ackerson, prin
cipal of E. V. High last year and
who is now' a student at Oxford,
will be of general interest to all:
St. John's College, Oxford, Eng.
April 24, 1917.
Dear Friend Thorp:
It has been some time since my
last note, but I have been too busy
with exams and vacation to do
much writing.
I can imagine the excitement in
America since the declaration of
war. I was a bit disappointed
that the Londoners took the news
as calm'y as they did, but no
doubt they are so accustomed now
to the idea of war that they can
not appreciate our position. How
ever, they made up for their ear
lier indifference on "America's,
Day" when the wl.ole city was
bright with thp Stars and Stripes
which fiew from poles where no
foreign flag had ever been before.
The situation throws us Amer
icans here in uncertainty. We
shall be glad when term opens
and the American Club can get
together to talk over our pros
pects. None of us shah be here
at Oxford next year. Some will
return to America; some are hop
ing thai an American contingent
will be raised in England; a half
dozen have already sailed for
home; five have already joined up
under France and England; oth
ers of the Americans have been
this year in India In Recreation
Hut Work, and some are running
Red Cross Fords in France. About
a dozen of us hai arranged to go
to India and Mesopotamia in Hut
Wrk and return to Engiand year
after ntxt by way of Yokohama
and Fri3C0, I haven't decided yet
what I shall do, at least I shall
not attend Oxford until after the
war.
I learn that hay in Eagle-Valley
has sold for $35 per ton. Wc have
some shortages here too, especial-
"ChambeMain's Tablets Have Done Won
ders for Me."
"I have bdeti i sufferer from utoinach
trouble for number of yearn, and al
though I have used a great number of
remedies recammendoi for this com
.plaint, 'Chamberlain's Tableta is the ilrnt
fnedlcirio that lias given mo positive and
hi&ting rtllef," writes Mrs. Anna Kadin,
Speifcerport, N. Y. "Chamb'jrlain's
Tableta huve done wonders for me and
jWtftue them very highly." Obtainable
averywuero.

gar is selling for 12c a pound when '
it is bemg sold at all, and would j
be dearer if the government were i
not curbing "profiteers" by fix
ing maximum prices. Previously
a merchant fortunate enough to
receive a bit of sugar would com
pel a customer to buy an anlounti
of anything else before he could j
have his. sugar.. That has been I

a customer at a time and may sell !
only to his regular patrons. In j
restaurants the waitress parcels'
out the sugar to each eater, and
he.must not ask for a second help- J
ing. Some restaurants have a ,
system by which one must signal (
the lady with the sugar each time!
he draws himself a cup of tea.
Cheaper restaurants use ti sort of
unrefined sugar ranging in color i
fiom light yellow to brown-black t
strange oily stuff that crawls i
all ever itself whenever it is dis j
turbed.
Before potatoes went entirely'
oil the market they had sold fori
over 40c a pound, but now both
buyer and seller are heavily fined
when they .are, sold above the legal,
price, which I think is about 4c a
pound. In Londdn I saw many ',
long lines of women with baby!
carriages waiting outside the'
closed markets-for a few pounds!
or perhaps none at all. I read yes- j
terday that at a farm near Lon-;
don, the line of Londoners, who ,
had come out on trains and busses, 1
was a mile long and four deep.
Most restaurants serve rice in
stead. Many private parks and
athletic fields are being plowed i
and sown to spuds."
Restaurants are allowed to give
us only two" ounces of bread or
toaf-t per meal and are limited in
the size of meat portions; This
limiting by weight is called the
"Dey.onport Scheme;'' until this
month we atc:"Ivunclman Meals"
in which thcidea was" to limit urf
to two courses for breakfast and
luncH. 'aml three for dinner. I
havcin'.jt cared to go beyond three
courses myself, but I learned that
n pro-war English dinner might
bo anything from n modest five
course repast to' an atfafr lasting
half the night.
The Food Dictator is trying td
avoid the German system of food
tickets, nnd as ri further means
of reducing superfluous eating,
cakes over-ornamented or con
taining too much sugar are pro
hibited. But don't think wo are starv
ing or even sociologically speak
inghungry. Although meat is
scarce, for "two an 1 nine" we
get only a small tantalizing grill
ed steak a pricn for which 1 re
member, Inst year at, Wright's
White Help Only place in Baker
I got owe the sizo of a school
geography book. Fish and moat
vegetables are cheap find tho
supply is inexhaustible.
I hope that Uncle Sam will slip
across with a bit of flour and
Chicago beef, for I hate to face
the prospect of subsisting until
after Peace Day upon "fried
'addick" and Brussels sprouts.
