Sugar is a quick form of fuel food
because it must go through fewer
changes for body use than other
than other foods; therefore, it can be
used to advantage in small amounts
when one is very tired, to relieve IA
tigue when one is on long tramps or
is doing hard labor.
Amount of Sugar
The average amount of sugar re-
uuired by people living in a temper
ate climate is One-fOUTth Of pound
daily, including the sugar used in
cooking and taken in fruits and veg
etables.
Danger From Too Much Sugar
The chief danger from the use Of
sugar is that it so satisfies the body
that it takes away the appetite for
other foods. Therefore, it should be
taken as f1avoring in other foods,
such as fruits and vegetables, or in
the form of candy. If used in the
form of candy it should be taken at
the end of meals as part of the des-
sert and not between meals.
Economy in Use of Sugar
To prevent waste in cooking, su-
\
until the cooking is nearly COM
pIeted. If necessary to cook sugar
any length of time, or if the food
contains an acid, the amount of sU-
gar must be increased; thus to sweet
en- a glass of lemonade, tablespoon
is enough; if used in a lemon pie
where heat and acid are combined,
70 cup is required. The same is true
in the use of fruits.
IF eaten raw less sugar is re0uired

than if prepared in some form
using heat.

ROBBERY

The hardware store of Roemer &
Thalheim, 101 Clarke street, was Wis
tied by burglars at an early hour Sun
day morning, a week ago and about
one hundred dollars worth of articles
were carried away by them The
loot consisted of guns, revolvers, am
unition and pocket knives, the cul-
prits gaining entrance to the store
through window in the storehouse
leaving no clue as to their identity
A clue of the suspects was obtained
later the same day and Chief of
Police Thomas Malone and Detective
Schwister took up the trail and traced
it in the direction of Rib river, where
they found a tent occupied by two
boys aged IS and IA years, and
a quantity of identified articles in
possession of the two fellows, who
were fast asleep in the tent. The
officers Immediately awakened the
boys and took them into custody and
also seized their entire outfit and es-
cOrted their captives to the city and
placed in the city Jail. Later in the
week they were paroled to their par
ents until further action.

The local Knights of Columbus have
started a campaign for the purpose
of raising funds for war recreation
centers for all, regardless of creeds,
at the various army camps in the
United States and overseas, under the
auspices of the general council. A
call for the sum of s1,0OO,O00 was

the above mentioned object, which
was cheerfully raised, $4,000 of which
was subscribed by the different coun-
ellis of the state, Marathon county
Knights contributing about 81 900. IT
is now proposed to raise the sum of
s2,00O,000 additional for similar OBJ

raised by this county's k c. mem

AN INSPECTOR WILL CHECK
WASTE OF FOOD
SHIPMENTS
Armour Co. Estimates 100000. 900
Bushels Are in Danger

In order to stop waste of potatoes
and other vegetables at railroad dumps
in Chicago, the food administration
has appointed Samuel Livingston
| formerly of Wausau, as special repre-
sentative to inspect all cars at points
where foodstuffs are received. When
car is unloaded it will be looked
over to find if any potatoes that are
| fit to be eaten are left
1t has been the custom, when a
car is unloaded, to leave considerable
| refuse which is collected and taken to
the dump.
Capt. Thomas |. Porter, chief of the
| Chicago district secret service, appar-
emily became convinced that there has
been serious wastage in potatoes and
other foods in many of the twenty-six
Chicago railroad yards. Peter G.
| Drautzberg, one of his operatives, af-
ter a day at West Chicago, returned
with a bushel of fine potatoes that he
| had retrieved" from The dump.
He reported that three more cars
had been dumped out there; that, near
| doors and exposed points, some of the
potatoes had been frosted, but that
| many fine potatoes had been thrown
| away. Capt. Porter then said that he
would suggest to Washington that
| guards and inspectors be appointed to
| thoroughly watch the Chicago yards
and that the chief shipping points be
| likewise inspected.
I've found no proof of conspiracy
| to destroy food" he said.
Because Of the high prices prevail
ing for potatoes fully 100,00O,OO0 bush
els are doomed to rot or be fed to live
stock, according to report compiled
| by the Armour Grain company.
"If consumers could buy them al
| so cents per bushel nearly all of the
immense crop would be consumed >
says the report, making a great saw
| ing in wheat and other foods on which
the government is economizing. But
| consumers are paying around $1.4O
per bushel and are, therefore, using
them very sparingly.
'The government estimated the po-
tato crop on farms at 154, 1000, 900 bush
els more than last crop and that, added
to the big war garden surplus, makes
very large amount over last years

Concerning the grain market the Ar
mour report says:
