The Americans are well ibeyond both places in whose streets the work of, mercy has begun.

It is* recognized by the authorities in Washington that i much of the best material for officers is to be found amongst the graduates i of the colleges and universities. The war department, therefore, insists i that students taking medical and eu- j gireering courses shall net be araitea 1 until they graduate and urges thati all other students under draft age go ; on to graduation before they enter the j army. i The department guarantees that no i student who becomes 21 during the session shall not foe drafted until; June 30, of that' session. This will, remove the necessity of granting di- ; plomas to those who have completed ! only one half the work of the senior year, as has ibeen customary during j the war at the XJ. S. O. and many oth. er institutions. In ac-ordance with . the reauest of the war department all j students at the age of 18 and over; will .be urged to enlist in the United j States arrnv. These will >be discouraged from volunteering and will he expected to continue their college, course until they reach the draft age j This new plan .enables a student to j pursue his studies peacefully in the j calm assurance that he is doing ex- j ?r-.t!v what ins country wishes bim to do for he is training his m:nd and muscle in order to make his future j | patriotic service more efficient. The war department will super-' i vise the military training through the ; professor of military science and | ! tactics, assisted iby non-commissioned j and army officers. Aibout 50 of the j students of the University and three | professors are at Flattsfourg this sum- 1 f mer and will assist in training the : "battalion next session. As the whole ! battalion will be under the immedi1 ate supervision of the war department ! military discipline will be rigidly en? ; forced. i The details of the government's plan will be worked out at a -conference of college and government ofi ficials called by the war department ; at Plattsburg (for the iS-outhern | States) September 3 and 4. j Meantime, parents who send their I sons to the University are asl^red * ? : that they will (be adequately prepared Uo carry -on successfully, after they J leave the college, the -more strenuous i training exacted "by the army camps, and will he far more likely to secure commissions as officers. | COAL CONSUMERS MUST MY WINTER SUFPIY NCW !

V/uiuiuuiOr.? x wu puuaua vi cugtu per month per person. j That is the allotment for the month of August. i Because of the present critical inflation as regards the sugar supply, the Pood Administration has found is necessary to cut down the ration from three pounds per month per person tc two pounds per month per person. In further limiting the sugar supply for home use, the Food Administration calls attention to the fact that already the makers of soft drinks and candy have been cut down to 30 per cent of their normal supply, or 50 per cent of their consumtpion last year. Hotels, restaurants and public eating places are likewise further limited. Public eating places may not buy more than two pounds of sugar for every 90 meals served. j Sugar bowls are disappearing from the tables of public eating places, and the sugar furnished guests and customers is carefully measured. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the home consumers to cut down the consumption of sugar. Only a certain ameunt has been alloted to South Carolina for month. The merchants cannot bu^ more than a certain amount. Unless there is the most rigid economy practiced In the use of sugar in the home, there will be iu-. earless meals before September 1. Two pounds per month per person. That is the allotment. That is twice as much as the people of fighting France or the people of Italy are al titVi on tho? n*iTl orot CM era T (t ?UTT^/U " li^a tuv>/ V/U*U ft VI, M V all. The Food Administration makes these suggestions to save sugar: Do not leave sugar In the bottom of coffee cup. Substitute molasses or corn syrup for part of sugar used in cooking.

Columbia.?The Food Administration urges that wherever possible the ] flock of farm chickens be increased, j Every farmer, or for that matter, | fcvftrv nersnn who raises chickens i should provide to carry as many pul-; lets that were hatched in the months j of March and April as possible, j These will make good layers for the ; late fall and winter months. What the situation with regards to; food will be during the months to j come none can say definitely, but the ; Food Administration is always look- j ing ahead, and the necessity of in-! creasing the flocks of all who raise! poultry, either for market or for home j consumption, is urgea as a measars to assure poultry products in sufficient quantity to meet the demands at home. While the temptation of fried chicken may be strong at this time, the March and April pullets should be car-1 ried over to provide layers for the J fall and winter. * I | ???* CAN WITHOUT SUGAR j ?"? I > Columbia?Can witbifut sugar. Bar* both fruits and sugar. Lei jour canning and preserving be sugarless if | possible, suggests the Food Administration. Then later in the year, next , winter perhaps, when sugar is plentiful, it may be added to suit your taste. This year when all food must be put to use in order that more may be sent i to the soldiers and the allies no one 1 has the right to let sugar go to waste | or to use sugar when its use can be ; avoided. The Pood Administration ! urges that the fruit erop be saved as 1 f?r oo nnnsihl* hv rannliir and drvinar. The Food Administration is making a special effort to provide the necesi eary sugar to householders for canning purpose, but there are numerous methods of canning without sugar, and thousands of women are putting up fruits sugar lea*. In this way, more may be canned. When opened for table use these jars of fruit may : be sweetened. Fruits will keep just i as well without sugar. j Rich jellies and preserves require > more sugar than can be spared at the | present time. Sweet pickles and watermelon rind, picKies ana preserves should be strictly omitted this year. In Jams no more sugar than is needed as a preservative should be used. Corn syrup and other syrupe should be used to supplement sugar for preserving of all sorts. Fruit juices can be sterilised and bottled Without sugar. a# nnnnHa of ?H Cft r PRt* I IJ.
