HOW TO OBTAIN SUGAR.
Certificate System Went Into Effect
f July 1.
Columbia, June 30.?There will be
enough sugar to supply the public!
needs during the next six months
only if luxuries are cut down and j
waste is eliminated. This is the!
significant statement of the food ad-j
ministration, which has just perfected
regulations to govern the distribution
of sugar in order that the acute
_ shortage at the present time may not
later develop into a sugar famine.
There is not a spoonful of sugar to
he wasted. The 1,600,000 tons in
sight will tide over the next six
months, until January 1, 1919, if the
strictest economy is practiced according
to the food administration pro
- ' - J - ? 1
gramme, wnicn memoes an ayyetu tu
the people of South Carolina to confine
their consumption of sugar to
three pounds per person per month.
This apportionment is about double
the compulsory sugar ration of England,
France and Italy, and is uniform
throughout the United States.
The cooperation of the housewife
is depended upon by the food administration.
Purchases of sugar, by individuals,
except for canning, are limited
to two pounds to persons resid-.
ing in cities and towns and to five
pounds to persons living in rural sections.
After signing Home Canners'
Sugar certificates, persons may buy
twenty-five pounds of sugar per calendar
month for canning fruit. Only
individuals who purchase sugar for
household use or for canning can secure
sugar in any quantity after Jyly
1, except under a certificate system,
which absolutely limits the total
amount of sugar any manufacturer,
public eating place, baker or retailer
can buy.
wttoti thA dAalers in suear*are lim
Ited. Under the certificate system,
which has been announced, manufacturers
using sugar, soda water fountain
users, and, in fact, all commercial'users
of sugar, are limited to 50
per cent, of their normal supply. In
order to secure this they are required
V to make statements to the fpod administration
of amounts of sugar used
tjy them heretofore, ahd on this statex
ment sugar certificates will be issued.
In order to be able to buy sugar
the commercial user's are required to
surrender7 these certificates to * the
dealer, and wljen the certificates are
exhausted no n|bre sugar can be
bought,
Hotels, restaurants, clubs, dining
cars' and boarding houses serving
twenty-five or more persons must
likewise apply for sugar certificates
to the food administration, and will
be permitted to purchase sugar on
the basis of three pounds for each
-ninety meals served.
Only the individuals who secure
sugar for household use, it will be
seen then are exempt from the certificate
system, but the housewives are
expected to voluntarily comply with
the regulations of three pounds per
person per month.
For canning purposes twenty-five
pounds per month can be obtained by
Unmo PoTinorc' Snsrar certifi
OlgUlUg ilVUiW yuuuv. w
c&tes, in the hands of the dealers, but
the sugar must be used exclusively
N for canning.
All commercial users of sugar who
have not secured their certificates
should do so at once, since they will
be unable to secure sugar in quantity
after July 1 without these certificates.

Policies in the War.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 30.?Eugene
V. Debs, four times Socialist candidate
for the Presidency of the United

$10,000 and costs for each violation.

regarding his arrest.
Debs arrived in Cleveland today to
address a socialist gathering and was
taken into custody as he was about
to enter the garden where the meeting
was held.

Debs's arrest a defense fund of more
than $1,000 was raised by popular
subscription before the meeting ended.
* Edwin S. Wertz, United States Attorney
for the Northern district of
Ohio, following the arrest, made the
following statement:
"No man is too big to be held responsible
for his acts under the espionage
act or any^ther law of the
United States." *\;
"Mr. Debs was indicted- not as a ,
? i f.
Socialist but as a violator of the law
of the United States because of things
he said in his Canton speech," said
Assistant Attorney Breitenstein.

Camp Jackson, and Miss Pearl Pennington,
a nurse in the base hospital

and a lieutenant and another young
nu|"se from the hospital had gone to
the river banks for a few hours. The
captain and Miss Pennington went in
swimming. The lieutenant and the
young woman he was with remained
on the river bank. They observed
some time after the captain and Miss
Pennington had gone into the river
that they were not to be seen. They*
became alarmed and began a hunt for
them. The lieutenant came to the
city immediately and searching parties
returned to the river.
Miss Pennington was from Maine
and Capt. Shaw from Columbia. Military
police tonight are guarding the
banks of the river and tomorrow
morning the effort to recover the bodies
will be renewed.
Later:?The body of Capt. Shawwas
recovered the following day. No
trace of Miss Pennington's body has
been found.

Savatore Cirigliano, the distinguished
newspaper merchant of the
Park Row building, went to Woodstock,
Md., to see the ordination of
his brother Dominico as a Jesuit
priest, says the New York Sun. He
took his little boy with him. At the
close of the ceremony the child proceeded
with others to kiss the ring of
Cardinal Gibbons.
"What is your name?" inquired his
eminence. ,
% "Antonio Cirigliano, sir."
"Ah, the nephew of Father Dominico.
And how old are you?" pursued
the cardinal.
"I was four and a half on the train
coming here," said Antonio, "but I'm
really six."
"Always the truth," said the cardinal,
his eyes twinkling. "Always
the truth!"
