The monthly allotment for this class will be made on the bnsls of the use during the months of July, August nnd September, 1017, or the use In June, 1918. In case tlipsp figures are not "representative, owing to IncreiiHcS In business, o sworn statement to that effect must supplement Statement C.

lletnll dealers will use the certifi¬ cates Issued to them to procure their requlrenents from wfiouiever they pur¬ chase, w Uellter refiner, wholesaler or Jobber. Wholesalers and Jobbers will use the same certlUcutes tu procure their rfiiulremeats from the refiners. The certificates will pass from the re- taller to the refiner by as uiauy steps as may be necessary la distribution aud will bear an endorsement for each step, aud each step should be tcward the refiner.

, will permit him to replenish his stoeli In the regular wny.
I Wholesalers nnd Jobbers will be !»• I sued "Interim" cerflflcates on receipt of ststeraents from them ns to the j amount of sugar necessary for a month's supply. All sugnr Issued on "Interim" certlflcates must be account¬ ed for.
The use of sugnr during the months of April. May and June of this year will be the basis for allotting certifi¬ cates to retailers for July. August and September. In addition, sugar may be allotted on the basis of sugar certlfl- cntps for home canning.
The amount Issued for July may be one-third of the retailers' sales during April, May and June, as shown In It*m 8, Statement E. Every effort should be made to carry out the Idea express¬ ed In "Maximum canning with mini¬ mum sugar." Circulars and Informa¬ tion along this line have been Issued by the Food Administration and the Department of Agriculture.
All retailers must file statements be¬ fore July 15. Retailers will base their sugnr sales on the basis of three pounds per person per month as a maximum allowance. Retailers must be certain that sugar sold for home needs Is In accordance with this pro¬ portion.
Retailers must post a signed copy of Statement E m a prominent place In their stores.
There Is no objection to retailers adopting ration card systems to cover their sales of sugar to the public If they care to do so.
Mall order houses should sell sugnr only on consumers' certificates, ond such sales should be limited to two pounds for city trade, five pounds for country trade ond twenty-five pounds for home canning.
Wholesalers or Jobbers who some¬ times sell to consumers must separate their wholesale and retail business nnd obtuin certificates for their retail soles by filling out a retailer's statement.
Retailers making wholesale sales, such 08, for Instance, to soda foun¬ tains, manufacturers, or sales covered by Statements A, B, C or D must ob¬ tain from the buyer regular food ad¬ ministration certificates the some as though they were wholesalers.
Certificates for the Army, Navy or sugnr export business must be Issued only on approval of the Food Adraln- Istrntlon at Washington.

Th« hnlk of the p«>ople—bnslneM men, lawyers, doctors snd others— don't read the Bible, bnt writers nnl- j ersally recognize It as the greatest book. Prof. Wllllnm Lyon Phelps of , Tale nnlrerslty said In a recent ad- i dress. i
"Being ft serious book, It \n weak in i humor," Professor Phelps snid. "Bnt I think Job Intended a grim Joke when ' he said, 'Would that mine adversary had written a book.'

Or<^ Claimed by Turks. A<?rordlng to the Osmsnil historians, the original Turk was a grsndson of Noah. Though there were only eight people in the srk when It was first floated, there were nine. It Is asserted, when It landed at Mount Arrat. The additional one was the eldest son of Japhet, born dnltng the flood. His name was Turk. A deacendnnt In the fourth generation, one Allndje Khan, had two sons (twins) who were named Tortar-Khnn and ifogul-Khan. Tnrtar was (^ j^tber of the THrt" W^SS& was the father of the Mongols. Turks and Mongols were thus closely related by birth, nnd the wars which nt once broke out between them, and the rec- onclllntlons that 8pe«>dlly ensued, had mucl^ jrf the nnjure gf family quarrels. The Turks were the more frequently triumphant, one Mongol throne aTTer ^^fe*^ 7ll'JL°R to l^helr arms. Not till the clirlstTnir era was well advanced did tha ethnological name of these chil¬ dren of Japhet appear In history.

for Family.
Capt. Norman Thwaltes of the Brit¬ ish intelligence department said the other day:
"The sugar shortage Is felt keenlj; over the water. It's odd how you miss your sugar over there. You long for It ns you'd long for tobacco.
"A Bnyswnter special constable hur¬ ried home from his bent at the Mnr- ble Arch the other evening to be pres¬ ent on a very interesting occasion, and, as he sat In his library In the small hours, the nurse came to blm and sold:
" 'It's all right, sir.'
"The Bayswater man swallowed; he moistened his dry lips; then he asked: •irit a boyr
"The nurse smiled soothingly.
"'One of 'em's a boy, sir,' she said.
"And the Bayswater man, instead of turning pole or smothering an oath, ns he'd probably done la peace time, uttered a glnd cry of Joy.
" Thank heaven!' he exclaimed^ •that gives us two extra sugar ru* tlons.'"
f^m Old Tins, f«OO,00a A conference, representative of mu¬ nicipal and other local authorities In the Midlands, was held at Binntngham recently by arrangement with the na- tlouAl war salvage council to consid¬ er the question of the ntlllzatlon of waste.
The lord mayor of Birmingham, wbo presided, stated that In Birmingham 600 tons of old tins were collected an¬ nually by the refuse disposal depart¬ ment, and that the recovered tin was sold at 11,600 a ton. The sam of $35,- 000 was obtained from the sale of re¬ covered waste paper.

Water Brooks. There was a pool by which we stopped one day to look at a great dragon fly in golden mall lighting on a Illy pad. I suppose that he did not live the season through, but his race has not lost a scintilla of his ,radlance, and there is a curious comfort Id thinking that even in days like these, when mankind seems to have gone mad, and "when but to tldnk Is t"© be full of sorrow," I have only to go to the same pool to see a creature as beauti¬ ful, lighting on a Illy pad os green, floating on water aa pure. Nor Is this mere sentimentality.
