REAL VALUE OF SUGAR
ONE OF GREATEST HELPS IN
coUNTERAcTING FATIGUE.
Tired Shopper Can Gain Strength
Quickly by Eating candy-Value
Is Recognized by Armies
in Europe.

! If we all understood the proper duty
and function of sugar we should prob
ably be a healthier nation. The
trouble with sugar Is that most of US
eat it in such a way and at such
time that it spoils our appetite for
more substantial food.
But sugar, in spite of all the harm
that it does when eaten in excess,
should be recognized as one of the
greatest helps in counteracting ia
tigue. 1t is so recognized among the
armies at war in Europe. Sweet and
milk chocolate are supplied literally
to the soldiers-as much for the
sugar as for the chocolate. And vari-
Gus sorts of sugar candy are given to
them. And some women. DESTROYS to
help the soldiers to the best of their
ability, heard of this demand for
sweets and turned their attention
from knitting needles and worsteds to
candy kettles and sugar and turned
out homemade fudge by the pound for
the soldiers.
All of us who have heard a certain
lecturer on mountain climbing talk
know how often she pauses to say
that at just that point she stopped
to nibble cake of a famous brand
of milk chocolate. At the boys and
girls camps throughout the country a
cake of chocolate is the usual accom-
paniment of a hike, and it is the
sugar as we'll as the chocolate that
is useful.
For sugar gives quick results in en-
ergy. If you are very tired, and nibble
a bit of sweet or milk chocolate, or
eat couple of Jumps Of sugar or eat
any sweet candy, you will feel within
a very few moments noticeably re-
freshed. And the tired shopper who
has not time to stop for luncheon
could gain strength for the rest of her
work if she would eat a cake of choco-
late or some sweet candy and sit still
for ten minutes.

Finally he met a; party that looked
like native.

you a resident of this town."

both cat and master, the cat losing its

be forced to kill the animal, when a
friend suggested that he replace the
lost optic with one of glass.

USE OF THE CASSEROLE
NOT A SPOONFUL OF ANYTHING
EDIBLE NEED BE WASTED.
Tasty and Nourishing Dishes Can Be
Prepared From Scraps Of Meat
and VeaetabIes--Hints for
the Cook.

When the making over cid cold
meats into warm dishes is in question
consider the casserole. By its use
even the smallest scraps of meat, vege.
tables, sauces and gravies can be
used up. Not spoonful of anything
edible need go to waste.
When the Sunday joint Of roast beef
has been served hot and then cold,
make a delicious lunch or supper Of
the remains if there is insufficient for
a dinner. In the bottom of the cas-.
serole put sliced potatoes, carrot
and couple of onions, small, chopped,
and, If ON hand, a few mushrooms.
Over this pour the gravy from the
meat, or, if this has been thrown away,
add water seasoned with pepper and
salt. Put on the cover and bake In
a slow oven for an hour. Half an
hour before serving lay the cold meat
on top of the vegetables, replace the
cover, and continue the baking.
Cold roast of lamb will prove a very
tasty dish cooked in a casserole with
green peas. The peas are boiled and
placed in layers in the casserole alter
nately with slices of the lamb. The
liquor in which the peas were boiled
is thickened and poured over, tho cas-
serole being set in the oven until the
meat has heated through. Served with
mashed potatoes, an appetizing meal
is the result. When cold peas or other
vegetables are on hand white sauce
can be poured over, or any gravy
that may be available The liquor
from the peas is not absolutely neces-
sary, though it adds to the nutriment
of the dish.
A very delicate dish for a dainty
lunch or a meal for an invalid is a
combination of chicken and mush.
rooms prepared in casserole. The
mushrooms are fried in butter very
lightly, then a tablespoonful Of -four
mixed with scant cupful of milk is
poured in and cooked until creamy.
The mushrooms ana cold chicken are
packed into the casserole in alternate
layers and the creamy sauce poured
over until the contents are heated
through evenly.
A novel way of using up cold rice
is to cover the bottom of the casserole
with it in quite a thick layer, and re-
cook it with raw eggs. Make as many
depressions in the rice as there are
eggs to be cooked and drop one egg
(broken) into each space. Season with
salt and pepper and pop bits of butter
oyer rice and eggs.
A still more unusual dish is made
from cold veal About one cupful of
the meat diced is mixed with one
dozen almonds chopped and blanched,
salt and pepper to taste and dash
of paprika This mixture is held to-
gether with a beaten egg and formed
into small balls. These are laid in
a casserole and covered with stewed
tomatoes. The cover is put on and
the dish put into the oven for half
an hour or so.

French Authors Fate.

Gautier was not one of those great
geniuses who renew their youth and
develop their ideal as they seize more
and more the variety of the universe.
To the end of his days he remained
the deyotee of the palpable and the
exterior and added no new gifts to
the facile competence, the fine taste,
the brilliant correctness which distin-
guished his early work. We can read
his feuilletons still, and when that
happens we are astonished that we
do not read them oftener. But, as a
matter of fact, we open them less and
less, and it is probable that our chill.
dren will leave them on the shelf.
