Sweets From sours.

The famous housewives of old
Salem. Mass, were expert in preparing
their own lemon tincture for fiavoring,
lemon preserves and lemon marmalade,
which is so delicious. The lemon rind
preserves, which were kept in glass
jars behind the loaded glass doors of
the preserves closets, were brought out
only upon very special occasions as,
for instance, when the minister came
in to tea. The egg lemonade, made
with rare old sherry, which was a
favorite beverage In Salem a century
ago, is still favorite beverage of con-
noisseurs.
Lemon honey and picked lemons,
the lemon cheese, with which the deli

special treat of bit of candied lemon
peel with little crystals of yellow sugar

CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE
Aiding In Redemption Of China, Where
Natives Are Now Frequently Seen
Smoking Their cheroots.

The cigar is doing large part in
the redemption of China. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see a native smoking
his cheroot, which promises to enjoy
the favor once bestowed on opium.
The import of cigars into various
Chinese ports has been greatly on the
Increase in the last few years, and now
amounts to about S350000 annually.
Of this trade four-fifths normally is
through Hongkong. There has been
marked increase in the quantity of
Dutch-made cigars used in South China
and other portions of the Far
East during the last year or more,
where, for various reasons, Philippine
cigars have been losing in favor
Previous to the outbreak of the war,
IN Europe considerable quantities of
cheap cigars We're sold in China and
the Far East through German firms in
Hongkong, and a German cigar fac
tory was operated in Hongkong for the
manufacture Of cheap cigars for the
Chinese trade and also for export to
Europe. This factory Is still operated
under Chinese control.

BIGGER Demand for Fish.

In Great Britain in normal times
the consumption of fish averages more
than f1fty-eight pounds head year,
including children and infants. Since
the war, and especially since the ad-
vent of the Machiavellian U-boat, de-
stroying trawlers fishing in the North
sea, or making it necessary to use
them in the navy, the British public
now calls on Canada to supply the
great deficiency of fish in the markets
of England. In view of this new de-
mand, as we'll as the fact that fish
is now an army ration, the superin-
tendent of fisheries at Ottawa has
sent out an urgent plea to the Cana
dian fisherman to serve the nation at,

that, as there are $4,000 fishermen on

was proposed to hire a contractor to

but the army engineers devised a plan
by which the men themselves could
perform the task and so save money.
They estimated that with $50 soldiers
helping, each would have to carry less
than so pounds. Accordingly the build

yided with runners. Since there was
no floor the men were stationed along
all four walls, inside as well as out,

This accords with the historical facts as 10 the for

because they we're not strong enough to provide for
