New York and Young People

In the December Woman's Home
Companion Anna Mcclure Sholl,
writing a love story entitled round
A Christmas Present" says of her
two principal characters;
They were only an infinitesimal
part-each knew it-of the fiotsam
and jetsam of vast impersonal city,
drifted temporarily into a colorless
clearinghouse until they could real
ize their ambitions. Betty Desmond's
had to do with interior decoration.
James Wren's with architecture, and
the discovery that they were stu
dents of subjects not wholly unall ed
had been the first step in the forma-
ton of friendship. Both were too
busy, and perhaps too reserved, for
haphazard pleasuring together. Both
were of that class which New York
always puts through the severest
tests because they are worth it,
Young spirits willing to be disciplined
for a vision they long to realize

First Aid for the Cook

A little vinegar added to the water
in which they are cooked will help to
make tough fowls tender.
If you wish to boil eggs which have
been cracked. add a teaspoonful of
salt to the water and they will cook
without losing any of their white.
If you will heat your lemons before
squeezing them You will get almost
double the quantity of juice.
A quick way to have boiled pota-
toes or apples is to boil them first for
ten or fifteen minutes, then place in
the oven. The skins will be soft and
tender, the flavor will be much bet
ter and they can be baked in half the
time 1t usually takes.
Before cooking onions soak them
IA warm. saited water for an hour, as
this greatly improves their favor.

War Affects SUGAR Crop

New York, Aug. 25.-Serious loss in
the European crop of sugar directly
due to the war. is responsible for the
rise in sugar in this country, accord
ing to the American Sugar Refining
company, which issued statement
today telling why it had advanced the
price Of sugar here.
A tremendous loss to the European
crop has been caused by the war, the
statement asserts, resulting in radical
advances in the price of sugar in Eu-
rope and an unprecedented demand
for raw sugar at it's source of pro-
luction This has resulted in increas-
ed prices Of raw sugar which the CON-
pan! has been obliged to pay, the
statement says, and to meet this ad.
vance In the price of raw sugar the
company has been compelled to ad-
vance the price of refined sugar.

Cannot Find Food Conspiracy

New York Aug. 26.--The federal in
Quiry into the higher cost of food
since the war began in Europe has
not developed that the increases were
unwarranted, according to Roger B.
Wood, United States assistant dis
trict attorney in charge of the inves-
tigation.
"No evidence OF conspiracies to
force up the price of food has been
disclosed which would warrant GRIM
inal action being instituted by the
government" Mr.. Wood said today.
"Generally speaking there has been
no unusual rise in the price of food
stuffs. There have been increases in
few commodities, but some of these
have become dearer because of ma
tural causes.
81 will admit that the timeliness of
our inquiry might have arrested
general upward movement of prices
due to the greed of retailers and
wholesalers"
Mr.. Wood added that he had found
no abnormal supply of foodstuffs in
storage warehouses which would in
dicate that dealers were storing goods
to force up prices.
