his putatively negative and innocent
deception, seemed to find In Lydia
just one more reason for being fond Of
Craven and viewing with confidence
their life after marriage. Though
vain and avid of admiration, she
seemed incapable Of any sort Of mean
emotion, and was as generous as the

Use More Honey.

In order to use more honey we must
have more bees to make more honey
Bees are really most wonderful work

now occupies. If the price of sugar

Honey Corn Bread.


Thoroughly mix two pounds of corn
meal and one-quarter of pound of
flour and add four cupfuls of boiling
water. Stir briskly for three minutes :;
set aside and to two well-beaten eggs
add two teaspoonfuls of honey, one
tablespoonful of melted shortening and
one and half cupfuls Of warm yeast
mixture. When well mixed stir into
the flour and meal and stir for half an
hour. Pour into a well-greased, deep
pan, cover with a piece of paper and
set in warm place for two hours to
rise. Remove the paper and bake in a
moderate oven until the top is gold
en- brown. This bread should be served
hot and any left over may be reheat-
ed. Serve with honey If so desired.
Honey for Children.
Honey is a most desirable sweet for
children provided they do not swallow
the wax as 1t Is not at all digested.
Strained honey for the small people
will be safest and best.
Baked apples, apple sauce, pies of
various kinds using sugar for sweeten-
ing may all be sweetened with honey.
Honey GInoersnaps.
Into double boiler put three-quar-
tiers Of cupful Of shortening, a cup
full Of honey and two teaspoonfuls of
powdered ginger. Allow it to cook
three minutes after reaching the boil
ing point. Remove from the fire and
set aside to cool. When nearly cold,
stir in enough flour to make the mix
ture stiff enough to roll. Roll out quite
thin and cut into small cakes. Bake in
brisk oven.
Honey will sweeten custards, pud-
dings of various kinds like tapioca,
gelatin or bread buildings, as well as
rice and cornstarch.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. \ consid-
cradle modification OF the requests
made July so by the Committee on PUP
lie Information OF the newspapers ot
the country that news Of possible or
imagined value to the enemy be not
printed is made in a statement made
public by the committee tonight
One of the most interesting changes
is that relating to publication OF names
of captains and gun crews oil sn'p'
which resist attacks OF submarines. II
has beon learned By the committee that
the names in question were quickly
transmitted TO Germany By spies de-
spite the fact that they were not
printed in the newspapers. with the re-
suit that If the Germans should later
capture these men they knew of their
previous resistance, and therefore no
protection was afforded them, while on
the other hand men making a pluchy
fight got no credit whatever with the
American public.
The situation was fully appreciated
By the ship captains in question. ana
it has come to point where the Navy
Department realizes that the stimula-
tion of public praise and credit 10 the
men is at least helpful in the war on
the submarines.
Somewhat along the same line is the

withdrawal Of She request that the
names Of line officers in the expedition
arr force. and the names Of units IN the
expeditiorary forces oe withheld. There
have been several humorous cOnse-
cuences of the request by the COM
mittec that names of officers and units
should not be mentioned i1 American
newspapers.
The statement is as follows:
The Committee on Public Informa-
tion makes public herewith revision
of the requests Of July 30 with respect
10 the concealment Of military informa-
tion for the guidance of correspond
ents and editors who have patriotically
placed themselves under censorship OF
their own enforcement. Future re-
visions will follow in conformity with
the changing military situation. None
of these requests will be retained when
II is established that the secrecies now
considered essential for the successful
conduct Of military operations no
longer serve definite military pur-
pose.
The committee is requested by the
war-making branches Of the govern
ment to urge again upon the press Tie
serious necessity for observing these
requests. II i5 highly importau. tha'
military information be kept out o.
print. 1t Is a matter Of little conse-
quencc how widely military informa-
tion of the most important character is
known within the borders Of the United
States.
Purpose of the Requests
The purpose of these requests is to
prevent such information from reach
ing the enemy. The printed page forms
a safe and easy method Of communica
tion for the eEemy agent. Whenever
he can be forced TO attempt the use OF
the telegraph. the cable or any other
medium fol the transmission of news
the risks of detection arc immeasurably
multiplied. But he can mail a news
paper or . magazine without leaving a
trace.
In order that the American people
may clearly understand why certain
news does not appear in print it is
urged that these requests be printed in
full.
Certain important changes arc made
in the printed card of July 30. The
following three paragraph are entirely
dcleted
'3. information tending to dis
close the names of line officers in eX-
peditionary forces and reference to
individual units OF these forces. Only
names o. staff officers are permiss-
ible.
"l2. Information OF the identities of
American merchant ships defending
themselves against submarines, and
the Identities Of their captains, their
gun crews and crews. No matter
from which side Of the ocean comes
