 Sugar should not be stinted for putting up fruits and jams, for these take the place of butter; but white sugar and butter on waffles and hotcakes must go Use brown sugar, honey, dark syrups and maple syr- ups, says the home card.
 The great problem is to send the Allies as much food of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space.
 Enemies of theS food conservation campaign are telling housewives not to enroll in the food army; that they have already done so, and the new enrolment is unnecessary. How ever, unless the family has home card and a membership card it cannot be sure that it is member of the national food army.
 In many districts the work is be- ing carried on through the schools. Children take home the cards for their parents to sign and return with their colored membership cards to be put in the front windows.

If there isn't some one will come to your house during National Food Conser- vation Week, which begins Nov 2 and bring you one. The person will also enroll you in the national food army. Enrolment puts you under no obligations to fight; only to help conserve.
 There are four conservation points that the home card emphasizes: wheat. meat fats and sugar.
 "One wheatless meal day pleads the card Use corn, oats, rye. barley or mixed cereal rolls. mullins and breads in place of white bread Eat less cake and pastry.

TROPHIES DONATED
TO THE MELTING POT
Columbia Lodge of Odd FeI-
lows Contributes Silver
Cups to Red Cross.
COLLECTION is GROWING

A second lodge of Odd Fellows has
decided that the Red Cross melting pot
is the best place for silver trophies won
in contests that have been forgotten
and which excite no sentiment Or thrill
of achievement among the lodge men,
bers of this later day. There is under
stood to be a general movement among
the lodges of Odd Fellows in the Dis
trict of Columbia to SO donate their
ancient cups and souvenirs. and also
to devise ways and means to persuade
the families of members to dig into
their treasure chests and Golfers of fam
lily plate for suitable donations to the
Red Cross melting pot.
Such a movement will mean a tre-
mendouS increment to the proceeds.
Every lodge doubtless has some trophy
that has ceased to have present signifi-
canoe. And should other similar or
ganiZations be fired with the same zeal
to aid the cause. the Red Cross melting
pot must have strong sides lest it burst
from the pressure of treasure poured
into 1t. The melting pot is of stout
stuff; let come what will. it yawns for
all that may be given in the name Of
humanity.

] Before the war Italy and Belgium
| raised al their own sugar and Great
Britain bought sugar from Germany.
Now France. Italy and Belgium cannot
| raise much sugar because their men
are fighting, and Great Britain cannot
| buy sugar where she used to buy it.
| All these countries must now get
sugar where we get it, and there is
mot enough to go around unless we
| save.
| Honey is one of the healthiest and
most economical foods. xt is better
adapted to certain cooking than sugar,
and its flavor is an aid in securing that
variety which is so much desired. For
instance. cream cheese and honey,
either liquid in the comb, makes a
delicious and healthful combination.
Two ounces of honey and six ounces
of canned stra " berries, with three
ounces OF cottage cheese. TWO ounces
of bread and two-thirds of an ounce of
butter the latter either spread on the
bread or mixed with the cheese, makes
a very well balanced meal.

Honey can be used instead of sirup
or jam with cereals and pancakes. and

Cakes made with honey viii keep
fresh much longer than when sugar is
used. If butter is omitted, they will
keep for months and even improve in
| flavor.
| Honey may be substituted for mo-
, lasses in all forms of bread and cake
cookery. and gives u delicate flavor.
1t contains less acid than molasses,
and for this reason requires less soda
in recipes that do not include sour
milk other acid. 1t is wise TO pre-
pare and bake a sample of dough be-
fore mixing the main portion. An
equal quantity of honey may be sub
sttuted for sugar called for by a
recipe. but as honey contains water,
the amount of liquid must be reduced.
one-quarter cup of liquid for every
cup of honey is a good rule.
Icing made with honey, or part
honey. will keep soft Indefinitely. Take
one cup of granulated sugar. one.
fourth cup of water. one-fourth cup of
honey and one egg white. Boil together
the sugar and the water for a few
minutes and then add the honey, taking
precautions to prevent the mixture
from boiling over. as il is likely to do

Take equal weights Of each of the in
gradients and. after pricking each
berry several times to prevent burst
ing and permit the sirup to penetrate
to the interior, cook them slowly until
they are soft and boil down the sfrIp
until it just covers them. Pour into
glasses and cover like jelly. a good
method is to place all the ingredients
in double boiler and heat them very
slowly. If this method is follow ed the
boiling down of the sirup is even more
necessary than when the berries are
cooked more rapidly.
Honey is more convenient than sugar
for sweetening lemonade or other fruit
drinks. as it does not have to be dis
solved. and with charged water it has
less of a tendency to eNpel the gas.
To Extract Honey.
Cut comb honey into a tin or granite
pail and hang the pail over two sticks
crossed at the top of an iron kettle
filled with water up to within three
inches of the rim of the pail. Let the
water boil until the comb is all melted,
then remove the pail to a cool place
and the wax will form into a hard
cake at the top. The honey below will
be rich and clear and free from wax.
Honey Rolls.

gar and half d teaspoonful of salt, and
let them dissolve in the warm milk.

cups of -four. The milk must not be too
warm when the yeast cake is dissolved
