The Housewives Economy Calendar

mains practically the same. The
only thing is that the dish tastes less
sweet and to most persons less
tempting, as a result. However, we
can almost all of us go without a
considerable amount of our normal
quota of sugar without actually in
juring ourselves. Almost all chill
dren-especially children who are
not bought up with scrupulOus care
get quite a good deal more sugar
than is good for them, headaches
would be fewer among a large class
OF leisured women were they TO con-
sumo less sugar.
There is very little waste in
sugar that we can remedy. We do
not throw sugar away because Of
staleness or deterioration, as is the
case with bread and milk and other
articles of food that we have been
urged TO conserve. For this reason
our sugar thrift must come almost
entirely from an actual reduction in
the amount eaten. Sometimes when
we were younger we used to inflict
a penance upon ourselves to abstain
from sweets for a certain length OF
time. Going without sugar and
candy during Lent is very general
among boarding school girls. you
know, whether or not they take any
notice of the season. And the result
usually is that the young abstainers
usually find themselves feeling much
better as a result. Their complex
ions are cleared and their teeth are
less, prone TO aching. But except
for their own discipline and salts
faction and possible Improvement of
health this abstenance has never
been of any particular value. Now
the mere saving is of benefit since
every ounce of sugar you deny your
self may mean an ounce more for
someone across the sea in Fance.
where the one ounce OF sugar and
less day is actually inadequate for
health and physical welfare.

SUGAR AND PATRIOTISM.

Have you done your share TO re-
lieve the sugar famine in France?
The fact that the sugar shortage
has been in considerable measure
relieved shows that among house
wives throughout the land there was
more or less of response 10
HOOver's plea-published throughout
the country some weeks ago-for a
saving Of 100000 tons Of sugar
within a month. Did you know that
such a call was issued? If you knew
it, aid you heed it?
The statement was made. as you
perhaps recall, that in this country
we were consuming sugar at the
rate of four ounces per person per
day, whereas in France each person
had less than an ounce a day and
was in danger Of having still less
You were urged by Commissioner
Hoover through the newspapers, to
do with less sugar in cooking, but
not TO diminish its use in canning,
since the preservation of summer
fruits and vegetables is Of para
mount Importance, and you were
urged TO use less sugar in the form
of candy and other CONNECTIONS not
necessary to your health.
In econOmiZing in sugar the
housewife finds certain things easier
than in economizing in white flour.
eggs or even butter-and that is
that any cooking recipe remains
practically intact with a lessening Of
the amount OF sugar used, while in
cakes or mullins or almost any other
dish the proportion of flour and eggs
cannot be very much changed with
out changing the cake or mullins. A
new kind of cookery, almost, had to
be learned by those who helped re-
duce the amount of white flour con-
sumed. But in lessening the amount
OF sugar IL cookery the only thing
one can do is simply to use less.

Backoche

In spite Of the best care ora takes
Of oneself, any part OF the humaii machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
y "The very best way to restore the
kidneys TO their normal state of health"
says DIR. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, sis to

from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex

You will find Anuric more potent than

DURANGO EXCHANGE
ADVERTISING SAN JUAN

The 32-page road and guide book
let just published by the Durango
Exchange is one of the best ever pre-
pared in this section and de"'s di
rectly with those matters of interest
TO strangers, visiting in the San
Juan. The pictures of the Durango
High school building, the Electra lake
Wolf Creek pass, fishing scene.
Mesa Verde ruins, Ute agency, Trim
BILE Springs, fruit scenes, ruins at
Aztec, the Shiprock, an ancient Cliff
dweller, of Mancos, Durango street
scene, Pagosa Springs all combine to
make the booklet most inviting and
attractive. The description Of the
country and the log of the highways
make it most useful to all strangers.
The double page map at the center
of the booklet shows all the leading
highways connecting Durango with
Del Norte. Monte Vista, Walsenburg,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Den
yer; and west to Mancos, COrtez, Do
lores, Bluff, Utah and then to points
north. On the south 1t shows the
highways to Gallup either by the way
of Aztec and Pennington or by the
way of Mancos and Cortez; and from
Gallup west along the Santa Fe to
Flagstaff, Arizona, or east to Albu-
querque and then north to Santa Fe
and Las Vegas.
The book is of size suitable for one
to carry conveniently and will be of
unusual value in directing all motor
lists and others in, thru and out Of
the big San Juan country. There
are several pages for memoranda use
for persons using the guide. The first
edition consists of 5000 copies but it
is probable that many more will have
to be published to meet the demands
of the public. Many business men
took advantage Of advertising space.
Mr.. Wilson, Secretary of the Ex-
change. Judge Clements, president OF
the Exchange and Richard Nelson left
today on trip taking them to Ala
mosa, Walsenburg, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs, Denver and other points in
the state for advertising purposes
along with other matters of interest
10 the San Juan people. They will be
gone some ten days and will distri-
butte large part of this first edi-
ton of the booklet.
