EAT PLENTY But Save Those Few Staples of Food Needed For Kxport to Our Soldiers and Allies. Du-'ng the first days of the sugar scarcity, grocers in many places re fused to sell It unless other gro ceries were purchased at the same time. An order went out from the I'nited States Food Administration forbidding such a demand, unless cornmeal with the sugar made the "combination sale." as it was termed. A foreign grocer in one of the large cities under his own interpre tation of the order, mixed the two pounds of cornmeal with one of su gar and when his customers de clined to purchase the "combina tion," wrote for turther advice. Mistakes hardly less flagrant than this are made constantly by supposedly intelligent and well in formed people desiring to do their part through conservation. "No one in my house gets more than one egg for breakfast," boasted one housewife, "we are saving food for the soldiers and the hungry peo ple across the sea." Neither soldiers nor starving Bel gians were benefited by this econ- 1 omy. It was unnecessary sacrifice, as people are urged to eat eggs and send the less perishable foods abroad. Poultry is not "meat" as far as food conservation goes and the meat, less day may be poultry or game for each meal without breaking the rule tor intelligent saving. Meat, including beef, pork in all forms, and mutton; wheat, sugar, and fats are the foods of concen trated nutritive value needed to send across the sea. Save those and eat the rest.

THE YUKON TRAIL By William Macl/cod Haiue (Continued) t The general opinion was that Mar! was playing politics about the trial; of his rival. He would not let the case come to a jury until the timej when a conviction would have most j effect in the States, the gossips pre-! dieted. They did not Know that he! was waiting for the return of Wailyj Selfridge. The whispers touched j closely the personal affairs of Mac-1 donald. The report of his engage- j ment to Sheba O'N'eil had been de-j nied, but it was noticed that he was! a constant guest at the home of the Pagets. Young Elliot called there too. Almost any day one orj other of the two men could be seen: with Sheba on the street. Those who wanted to take a sporting chance on the issue knew that odds were offered sub rosa at the Pay Streak saloon of three to one on Mac. Sheba rebelled impotently at the situation. The mine-owner would not take "No" for an answer. He wooed her with a steady, dominant persistence that shook even her strong will. There was something resistless in the way he took her for granted. Gordon Elliot had not j mentioned love to her, though there j were times when her heart fluttered for fear he would. She did not want any more complications. She wanted to be let alone. So when j an invitation came from her little 1 friends the Husteds, signed by all three of the children, asking her to j come and visit them at the camp back of Katma, the Irish girl jumped at the chance to escape for a time from the decision being forced upon her. Sheba pledged her cousin to! secrecy until after she had gone, so that Miss O'Xeill was able to slip ; away on the stage unnoticed either by Macdonald or Elliot. The only j other passenger was an elderly ! woman going up to the Katma cam to take a place as cook. Later on the same day Wally Sel- [ fridge, coming in over the ice, j reached Kusiak with important news for his chief. He brought with him I an order from Winton, commissioner of the general land office, suspend ing Elliot pending an investigation of the charges against him. Oddly enough, it was to Genevieve Mallory that Macdonald went for consolation when he learned that Sheba had left town. He had al-1 ways found it very pleasant to drop 1 in for a chat with her, and she saw ! to it that he met the same friendly! welcome now that a rival had an- j nexed his scalp to her slender waist.) For Mrs. Mallory did not concede! defeat. If the Irish girl could bej eliminated, she believed she would I yet win. ) His hostess looked up at him with a mocking little smile. "Rumor says that she has run away, my lord. Is it true?" "Yes. Slipped away on the stage this morning." "That's a good sign. She was ] afraid to stay." It was a part of the fiction be tween them that Mrs. Mallory was! to give him the benefit of her advice: in his wooing of her rival. She seemed to take it for grnnted that I he would at last marry Sheba after wearing away the rigid Puritanism j of her resentment. Macdonald had never liked her •JO well as now. Her point of view; was so sane, so reasonable. It asked! for no impossible virtues in a man. j There was something restful in her i genial, derisive understanding of | him. She had a silent divination of i his moods and ministered indolently' to them. "Do you think so? Ought I to i follow her?" he asked. She showed a row of perfect! teeth in a low ripple of amuse-, ment. The situation at least was) piquant, even though it was at her, expense. "Xo. Give the girl time. Catch! her impulse on the rebound. She'll I be bored to death at Katma and! she will come back docile." 1 Her scarlet lips, the long un broken lines of the sinuous, opulent body, the challenge of the smolder ins: eyes, the warmth of her laughter, all invited him to forget the charms of other women. The faint feminine perfume of her was wafted to his brain. He felt a besieging ofi the blood. Stepping behind the chair in which she sat, he tilted back the head of lustrous bronze, and very deliberately kissed her on the lips. For a moment she gave herself to his embrace, then pushed him back, rose, and walked across the room to a little table. 'With fingers that trembled slightly she lit a' cigarette. Sheathed in her close-fit-' ting gown she made a strong carnal | appeal to him, but there was be- j tween them, too, a close bond of the spirit. He made no apologies., no explanation. Presently she turned and looked at hMn. Only the deeper color be neath lier eyes betrayed any excite- I ment. "Unless I'm a bad prophet you'll i get the answer you want when Sheba ' comes back, Colby." He thought her reply to his indis- I cretion superb. It admitted com plicity. reproached, warned and at the same time ignored. Never be- | fore had she called him by his given I name. He took it as a token of ! forgiveness and renunciation. Why was it not Genevieve Mal lory that he wanted to marry? The mine-owner carried with him back to his office a sense of his futile Irony of life. A score of men would have liked to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all the sophisti cated graces of life and much of the natural charm of an unusually 1 attractive personality. He had only! to speak the word to win her, and' his fancy had flown in pursuit of a little Puritan with no knowledge ofi the world. Tn front of the Seattle & Kusiak j Emporium the Scotsman stopped. A little man who had his back to him was bargaining for a team of; huskies. The man turned, and Mac-j donald recognized him. "Hello. Oid. Aren't you off your usual beat a bit?" he asked. The little miner looked him over impudently. "Well—well! If it ain't the big mogul himself—and; wantin to know if I've got permis- j sion to travel off the reservation."

Warren queried at the breakfast table. Helen hesitated. "Oh, never mind, if you are! Al though I don't sec what on earth you have to do." "No, dear; of course you' don't," Helen said, smiling. "A man never sees what a woman does with her time, does he?" "That's because she always talks such a lot about what she has to do and then never does half of it." "What's the matter, dear, are you cross this morning?" "No. only you make me tired some times." "What was it you wanted me to do—anything important?" "Yes, important enough. I wanted you to do a job for me—take my two suits out to the tailor and tell him to sponge and press them." Mary do it." "No, I will not!" Warren exploded. "The last time she did themi—at your suggestion, I remember —they look ed terrible—not lit to wear." "Oh. 1 do remember! She had put the crease in the trousers wrong. Oh, Warren, it was funny, deary "Yes, very funny—when a man is in a hurry to wear his clothes. I must say that your idea of a joke is a scream. No more home tailoring for me, thank, you." "Some men always press their clothes and—save money." "They have more time than I have, then. But, good heavens! what one earth are you going to do to-day that you can't take the time to leave my suits?" "Well, of course, I can do it," Helen parried. "Only that tailor lives in such an out-of-the-way place, and it takes so long to get to him." "You haven't answered me yet. What are you going to do?" "Well, Warren, to tell you the truth. 1 am going downtown to ex change some Christmas gifts." . "I thought so! The minute Christ mas is over, you women have to get right down into the shopping dis trict and begin all over again. I should think that Christmas rush wo4ld have been enough to do you for awhile." "Well, Warren, a lot of us got to gether and decided that we would leave the checks in the gifts we gave each other, and then if they didn't suit we could exchange them. I like to go downtown as soon after Christ mas as I can and get it over with; it isn't so very pleasant, I can tell you." "And I suppose," said Warren with great sarcasm, "that nothing anyone gave you happens to suit." "Well, several things are duplicates, and it seems only fair that if I fancied something else more than what was given to me I might just as well have it." "Imagine it," stormed Warren.

"leaving the checks in your gifts, so! that they can be exchanged. What possible reason is there for giving gifts with such a spirit?" "It means just as much to us. It's too bad that more of us don't give I gifts with more careful discrimina-! tion, and then there would be no ex- j changes. For instance, asking before- : hand what was wanted." "Yes, and all telling each other, Ij suppose. What on earth would you give gifts at all for, under those conditions?" "It would be better giving them that way than buying something, anything, in fact, one happens to see, without stopping to think whether it would he suitable or not. For in stance, that gift from Marie: if she had stopped to think of me, or of my home, she would have known better than to send me a novelty ash tray. Of course, it is enamelled and very cunning, and might be suitable for some women, but Marie has known me for years, she knows that 1 don't smoke, and yet because she happens to see this thing she sends it to nie without stopping to think. What good does it do me? It's no possible good, even for you, because it is so small, and there you are." "Yes, but it is a gift, and I say that you ought to receive it as such." "1 simply took that as an example. I don't think that gift was sent with any forethought. I can just see Marie hurrying through her shop ping and buying anything to get it off her mind. I spoke of it in order to defend myself, dear, against what you said about the plan we women have adopted. At least you will ad mit that it is better to leave an ele ment of surprise, and still have an opportunity for exchange is neces sary." "Oh, I suppose so: anything to give you your own way; but 1 still think that some of you women simply exchange gifts in order to get into the shops again. It seems to be a mania with some of you." "Not with me," retorted Helen, "and not with a great many women. Go on down to the office, dear, and stop being cross. I'll take time to takeyour things over, so don't worry."

Dr. Conner, who is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore with ex tensive hospital experience at the Hopkins Hospital and nearly twenty years of practice, is now in charge of the "White Star," a home for young men. In this home a part of the plan is to give the young men good social surroundings and entertainment some of the boys are addicted to drink. His experience is most interesting and convincing. Here is his report: "Some weeks ago in discussing with a busi ness man one of the evils we have to combat, namely the drink habit, he mentioned Tescum and the wonderful cures that had been effected through its use. When I returned to the home after my interview I found upon malt ing inquiry that one of our boys knew all about 'Tescum,' having used it while in New York and through its use rid himself of the liquor habit, lie tells me that since using the remedy six months ago he has not taken a drink.
