Mad Rush to Get Sugar and

Unusual Demand Makes 1t
Impossible For Railways

THE greatest lspeculator in the

not for the government supervision
sugar would now be 40 or so cents

Will on'V cooperate and buy in the

This was the opinion expressed
to-day by an official of the Whitman
Schwarz Company where efforts are
being made to meet what might be
called u mild panic over the sup
posed shortage of food supplies.
And this is all unoalled for. ac-
cording to the various city whole

struggle TO fill to overflow the in

the Associated Press) )-The enemy
artillery firing is more active along
the American sector. Shells in more
normal number are falling on the
rear areas. No new casualties have
resulted.
In reprisal for the shelling of the
town in which the American head
quarters is located, during which a
shell fell on an American regimental
headquarters, American guns sent
an equal number of shells into the
corresponding town behind the Ger
man lines the next day.
Patroling operations continue with
nightly excursions to the vicinity of
the German wire defenses, but the
Americans have failed to encounter
any Germans and no further casual
ties have been reported.
The officers who have served their
turn in the trenches with the bat
talions already relieved have held
a meeting with the commander of
the first contingent and discussed
their experiences. All agreed actual
training in the trenches under fire
is the ideal method of acquainting
officers and soldiers with fighting
methods.

(Which may be applied also TO house

strawberries SO that Just enough syrup
OF the proper consistency can be
made in advance. With this amount
Of syrup the berries can be packed at
tractivcly without floating and no
syrup will be left over. which in many
cases means an important saving in
sugar.
Sterilize Jars-Whilo the berries
and syrup are cooking, place the
empty jars and caps in tcpid water
aud bring to a boil. and allow to boil
for at least i minutes. Remove the
jars from the water only as they are
to be filled, and the caps only when
they are to be placed on the jars.
