Wovued about "YOUR BOY?" DOES ALCOHOLIC EXCESS STAND BETWEEN HIM AND HAPPINESS? I any member of your family is one of those unfortunates whom alcohol is depriving of health and opportunity, remember this: Drunkenness is a disease and as such is subject to control. The McTaggart System functions on this basis. Its pure vegetable liquids destroy totally the taste or craving for alcohol and free a person from all need or desire for this stimulant. In fact they create an antipathy to it. The nervous, digestive and circu latory systems are naturally benefited. No hospitalization of any kind is needed. This is strictly a HOME SYSTEM It does not interfere in any way with daily business or social routine. Effects are noticeable within a few days. While it is eliminating the alcohol from the svstem it is supplying a substitute which is temporarily needed, but this substitute is a purely vegetable tincture and is non-narcotic. Therefore stimulants are discontinued without ■nv inconvenience. With the craving for alcohol gone, no will power is required for continuous abstinence from drink. The cost is very moderate and is covered many times over by the financial savings effected. Write "for literature. IMPORTANT—Dr. McTaggart's System has a 40-year record of accomplishment. It is sold with the distinct understanding that if at the end of the prescribed period results are not entirely satisfactory its purchase price will be promptly refunded.

V Papertroopers Ready To Resume Collecting For Hospital Fund Washington’s Papertroopers, re turning to school tomorrow, will make plans to pick up some unfin ished work left over from last school year, including the completion of funds for the "adopted” European war orphans and for the establish ment of a Papertroopers' Ward in the protected addition to Children's Hospital. Nearly 40 schools “adopted" war orphans, and many of the schools still have some part of the $180 which each pledged to raise. About $1,500 is still needed to complete the fund for the Children's Hos pital W’ard. High Tribute Paid. A high tribute was paid to the Papertroopers by Robert Yaller, di rector of the Foster Parents’ Plan for War Children, through which the Papertroopers "adopted'’ the or phans. In a letter to The Star, Mr. Yaller declared: "The school children of Washing ton. by their unselfish efforts and by their diligent collection of waste paper. have earned for themselves the gratitude of the innocent chil dren overseas. The Papertroopers are waging war against hunger by bringing in 14 tons of wastepaper. As a result of their efforts a child receives food, clothing and shelter, but more than that our Paper troopers are forging a bond be tween themselves and the future citizens of Europe. “The children of Europe have had an opportunity to meet and love the American servicemen and 'women ;Now they are meeting, through the Foster Parents' Plan for War Chil dren and the Papertroopers of Wash ington, the younger brothers and j sisters of the American armed | forces, and they are learning to love land respect them as well. The letters, drawings and compositions sent from the children overseas, and the similar items from the American children, have forged a bond that nothing can ever destroy.” Have Added Incentive. With greater supplies of radios, radio-phonographs and other equip ment needed in the schools now- on the market, the Papertroopers will have added incentive to collect this year. Individually, the Papertroop ers will start where they left off in acquiring merit ribbons, their rank being cumulative. However, all schools will start from zero in running up this year's records. Collections will not begin until next week, and as rapidly as schools |notify The Star of their intention | to resume, they will be added to the schedules. Many have already enlisted for another year. As the schools start, they have to their credit a total of more than 25.000,000 pounds for which the PTA and Home and School Asso ciations have recieved well over $165,000. French Tax Loss in Millions As Strike Opens Borders By the Associated Press PARIS, Sept. 21.—A strike of more than 100,000 customs officials and employes of the Ministry of Finance for higher pay has left the French borders virtually open to imports without payment of duty for the past 24 hours. The strike was said to be cost ing the French treasury millions of francs. I Reports from the Belgian, Swiss, Italian and Spanish frontiers said that endless columns of Frenchmen were passing hurriedly into the | neighboring countries to acquire !food, tobacco, silk and other com modities which in normal times are !subject to heavy customs duties.

Present Sugar Rations To Continue Until 1947 By the Associated Press The Agriculture Department said yesterday present sugar rations will continue at least through 1946 and any significant increases are not likely until next year's crops start moving to market in volume. The size of the increases in ra tions then, if any, will depend on the size of the new crops. The department said it expects production next year to increase. But it added that sugar require ments for consumption and for stock replenishment are expected to ex ceed available supplies. This year's domestic shortage re flects loss of normal sources of sup ply, reduction in production in this country and increased exports from the Western Hemisphere during the war.
