CUT OUT CANDY AND SAVE SUGAR
Enough Confectionery Used in the
United States to Keep

Washington, Dec. a According to
information reaching the Food Admin
istration the .ugar used in the making
of candy in the United States is suffi-
cicnt to meet all the sugar require
ments of Great Gritain under the ra-
tioning standard adopted there.
If the people of the United States
would cut out candy the sugar so saved
would be more than sufficient to meet
all the sugar required of France.
If one-half the sugar used in the
making of candy in this country in
1917 could have been saved, it would
have been sufficient to meet the sugar
requirements of Italy for year under
that country's present sugar STANDARD,
The money spent for candy in this
country the past year is nearly double
the amoun5 OF money needed to keep
Belgium supplied with food for a year,
Of the total consumption OF the Unit
ed States about one-third goes into the
manufacture of various foodstuffs, liz
Guiding confectionery, while the re-
mainder is consumed as sugar. The
amount Of sugar employed in the maxi
ing of confectionery is variously esti-
mated from $50 coo to 100000 tons a

For Old I-inoIeum.

An old linHieum, if not worn into
holes, may be refreshed and made al
most as good as new with little trou-
bic. First, be sure that it is stretched
and tackled as closely us possible.
Then paint it all over with two coats
of any good wash paint, letting the
first one dry before supplementing it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor a coating of ora nge
s5hellac. After this Is dry. go over it
with second coat. This gives an cey-
cealent finish to the floor and will make
the linoleum not only look we'll, but

WhY Cherries Ara Red.

1t was the theory Of Darwin that
nature made cherries beautiful to the
eye for definite purpose. Red, he
said, was the most prominent and at.
tractive color. Cherries turned to that
hue1in order to attract birds. Birds,
noting the brilliant globules, tasted
them, round them to their liking, told
other birds and consumed the crop
swallowing seeds and all. In this way
the cherry stones were carried far and
wide over the country and droppee
where they might grow into other

way o. determining the loss. Hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of bodies
have been consumed by the flames,
and in scores of cases not only whole

have been wiped out and the names
OF all their dead may never be known.
