The Need of Sugar Conservation and

combination of honey and white
Karo syrup and is used to stun dates
and prunes.
Nut Roll-This is an uncooked can
dy made by chopping mixed nuts, raj
sins. cocoanut, orange peel and dried
figs and moulding them into the shape
desired.
Chocolate Conserve-In this prepar-
alton a vegetable conserve of carrots
was used for the foundation. Balls
of the conserve were baked for a
short time in an oven and then dipped
in melted chocolate. The use of con.
serves as candy foundations is becom.
ing quite common, though the use of
carrots in this way is out of the ordin-
airy.
AT the close of the demonstration
lists of recipes used were distributed
TO the ladies present.

willing to assist in the needed con-
servation of sugar will find helpful
