and will be, if she takes pains to find
out all she can about sugar.
BY ORPHA E. NESBIT,
College of Agriculture, Univ. of Neb.
Sugar is found largely in the same
places as starch, namely, in roots,
grasses, stems of plants, trunks of
trees, fruits, milk and vegetables.
Starch is the form in which plants
store their food for future use, while
sugar is the form into which this
starch must be changed before the
plant can make use of it as food. This
is what happens in the springtime
when the trees begin to bud and leaf,
when the seeds begin to sprOut and
grow. A green apple or a green ba-
mana tastes starchy, a ripe apple OF
a ripe banana tastes sweet. The
starch has by chemical change be-
come a form Of sugar.
KINGS of Sugar
Commercial or manufactured SU-
gar is the sugar we buy on the mar
ket The two kinds of manufactured
sugar we are most familiar with are
the cane sugar and beet sugar. Nom
commercial sugars are the sugars
found in foods, such as milk sugar,
called lactose; malt sugar, found in
grains, called maltese; fruit sugar
called levUlOse.
Value of Sugar
In whatever form starch or sugar
is taken into the body it must be
changed into a still simpler form
called dextrose, before the body can
make use of it as food; just as the
starch in the plant must be changed
to a form of sugar before the plant
can use it as food.
This change can be made in the
body because there is a feTment in

SUGAR SUBJECT OF LESSON IN DAY BOOKS
COLLEGE COURSE FOR HOUSEWIVES

No economy will prove perma-
nent and effective unless it is based
on knowledge. That information
which the housewife acquires under
stress, as in the case of the present
high price of sugar, can be applied
to her great advantage at any time,
and will be, if she takes pains to find
out all she can about sugar.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-05

the saliva Of the mouth, gastric juice
of the stomach and intestinal juice
for this purpose; or this chance can
be made outside of the body by add
ing an acid to the sugar and boil
ing. Therefore, jams and fruit but
tiers are easily digested forms of su6o
gar.
Stored as Fat
If sugar is eaten in small amounts
it will take the place of starch and
will be more quickly made use of by
the body because it is in a simpler
form than starch and will not have
to go through all the changes starch
must go through to be made into
that simplest form of sugar - deX-
tTOse.
If the sugar is in excess of the
amount needed for the daily use of
the body it is changed to fat and is
stored as fat. That is the reason that
in some cases of fleshiness doctors
omit sugar entirely from the diet.

iWth the French Armies, Aug. 81
tBy mail. America cavalry regi

airy training may be surprised on
their arrival at the French front to
find their horses relegated to the sta
bles and themselves to the trenches.
AS matter Of fact, the role Of the
French cavalry has been largely one
of afoot in the trenches. Unless the
whole character Of the war on the
western front should change completes
~. it is entirely possible that Ameri-
can cavalry may undergo the same

The change in the war that came
when the Germans dug themselves in
on French soil rendered it necessary
Tor large number Of the French cav
airy regiments to be dismounted and
the men utilized in the foot service.
Enough OF the cavalry was retained
to meet any requirements that may
yet come with a reversal to open war
fare. but the wisdom of the change
has been demonstrated bg the fact that
since then the French cavalry lat
still continues as such has only had
