SALE OF SUGAR REDUCED AGAIN
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 24. New regulations governing the sale and distribution of flour and sugar were received here today from the federal food administration by Dr. H. E. Barnard, state food administrator. The new rules include the following: Retail sale of sugar in cities and towns in amounts of not to exceed two to five pounds at a time. Farmers may buy in quantities of five to ten pounds at a time. Flour, retail In quantities of one-eights to one-fourth barrel lots at a time to residents of cities and towns. Farmers not to be sold more .than one-half barrel at a time. Wholesalers are not to deliver to any one retailer more than 1,000 pounds of sugar at a time, and not attempt to get around that regulation by delivering on back orders.

All advertising of sugar and other methods to stimulate demand are forbidden.
Revelations of a Wife
MRS. LESTER'S FEARS (Concluded) "See here, Daisy!" Lillian Gale joined our group, coffee cup in hand. "Drink your coffee and jour cordial. Then pretty soon, if you feel you really must go, I'll gather up Harry and start for home. Then you can make Frank go." "You are awfully good, Lillian," Mrs. Lester looked gratefully up at the older woman. "I know I am as silly as I can be, but you can't know how I am imagining every dreadful thing in the calendar." "I know all about it," Mrs. Underwood returned shortly, almost curtly, and walked away toward the group of men at the other side of the apartment. "I never knew that she ever had a child." Mrs. Lester's eyes were wide with amazement as they met mine. "Neither did I." Purposely I made my tone non-committal. From the look in Lillian Gale's eyes when Mrs. Lester told us in my room of the way the baby looked asleep, I knew ttfat some time she roust have held a baby of her own in her arms. "Not Your Baby!" But I detest gossip, no matter how klndlv if. indeed. kossId can ever be
termed kindly. I could not discuss
Mrs. Underwood's affairs with any one especially when she was a guest of mine. "But she must have had a toaby some time." persisted little Mrs. Lester. Her anxiety about her own baby
appeared to be forgotten for the mo
ment. "It must nave oeen a cnua 01 that awful man she divorced, or who divorced her. I never did get that story right." I looked around the room. How I wished some, one would interrupt our talk. I could not listen to Mrs. Lester's prattje without answering her, and I did not ' wish to express any opinion on the subject. As f anawerine mv unsDoken wish.
Harry Underwood rose and came to
ward me. "Were you looking for me?" ht queried audaciously. T had a audden heloless. anzry feel
ing that this man had been covertly
watching me. Annoyed as I was, 1 was dart that he had interrupted us.
for his presence would effectively stop Mrs. Lester's surmises concerning his
wife. "Tnrlpf'ff T u not looldne for vou." I
returned spiritedly. "But I am glad rou are here. Please talk to Mrs. Les
ter while I go to the kitchen. I must
eive some directions to Katie."
"Of course that's a terribly hard task" he began, smiling mischievous
ly at Mrs. Lester. But he never finished his sentence A loud, prolonged ringing of the door hell startled us all. It was the sort
of ring one always assosiates with an urnt Biimmnns of somft hoi t.
"Oh, my baby! I know something's happened to the baby and they've
come to tell me. Mrs. Lester's words rang high and shrill. Thev chanced to a shriek 3S

Heart and Home Problems
Jf i$ Jni3 ;
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a1 pirl siYtppn and ea with two other girl
friends, one eighteen and the other ,
twenty. We each have ooy inenas.,
Am I too young 10 go to the show with them. I am rather old looking for my age, and most people think I am eighteen. (2) W are rooming and have three rooms. Would it all right to bring them up in our rooms if we all sit in one room? (3) The boy I go with is twenty years old. Is he too old for me? (4) The girl of twenty is my adopted sister.
She goes with boys and so does the other girl who is our friend. My parents live in another town. I left home because my father and I couldn't get along with each other. My mother is the dearest thing in the world to me, and I don't know what to do without her advise. Do you think it all right for me to go with boy friends? My older ssister and her friend always go too. THREE CHUMS. (1) A girl of sixteen is too young to go with boys. (2) It would not be all right unless yu have some older woman in to chaperon you. (3) Yes. (4) I think you are too young to go with boys. If you go with your sister and her boy friend just the three of
you it would be all right. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a young girl seventeen years of age. Is it right for a girl of my age to wear a veil over her face? (2) I refused to kiss a boy and now he won't speak to me. How can I re
gain his friendship without kissing
him?
(3) Is it right for a girl to give a boy her picture for a Christmas present? (4) Is it right for me to take a ring from a boy when he offers it to me? A MUSTARD. (1) Girls of seventeen do not wear veils. (2) Do not. try to regain his friendship. If he is the kind of a boy who would drop you for that reason he is not the kind you should care to have for a friend. (3) It is not considered good form for a girl to give a boy her picture for a Christmas gift. (4) No.

some other States, will not be promulgated on account of a technical error in printing, which can not be correct
ed in time for promulgation by Jan uary first.
This leaves the milk situation unchanged, and milk producers and dealers will be promptly notified in regard to action hereafter taken by the State Board of Health.
CITY OF NAPLES STRUCK BY MINE
' AX ATLANTIC PORT, Dec. 24. The British teamshlp City of Naples; reported a few days ago to have been sunk by a torpedo off the British
coast while under convoy of destroyers, arrived here today. It was learned the vessel was not attacked by a U-boat, but struck a mine and, her officers fearing she was seriously damaged, put back to a British port. There an examination showed the effect of the explosion was negligible and the ship resumed her voyage. An American vessel which was in the same convoy with the City of Naples brought the story of the British ship's supposed sinking. The accident occurred on Nov. 5 when the fleet was five days out from port.
