SUGAR EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 2S.-Op-
tions have been taken by the food
administration. upon all sugar
belonging to neutral countries held
in this country awaiting export. This
was disclosed tonight in a statement
by the administration denying pub
lished reports that it was trying to
force the neutrals, unable to get ex-
port licenses, to sell their sugar at
a loss. .:.~
The options are at the prices paid
by the neutrals. No figures were
given, but the administration said that
with the tariff duty added the aver
age price would be so cents a hun
dred higher than the price it has
undertaken to maintain for the bene-
fit OF the American consuming pub
lie. There is no indication of an in
tention to permit the cost to the pub
lie to be increased, so probably few
of the options will be exercised for
domestic uses.
The administration emphatically
denied that it had placed any restric-
ton upon the sale Of sugar by neutrals
to American manufacturers.
There is no reason for undue haste
in this matter" the administration
statement adds, 'fnasmuch as no one
Is really suffering from the temporary
sugar shortage. Enforced conserva.
ton is not an unmixed evil, it was
added, as it brings to the attention of
the American public, in not harmful
way, the vital necessity of conserving
food products. America will have but
one or two weeks of scarcity of sugar,
while Europe has had three years of
such shortage"

Pats Important.

The importance Of fats to the human
body cannot be overestimated. Some of
the European nations, which have been
engaged in war for three years, are suf-
fering for want OF fats. The condition
of these countries In reference to fats
have led some OF our leaders In agricul-
tural thought to be deeply concerned
about the fat supply of this country.
Reports have been made that more
dairy cows than usual are being sold,
and, II this is true, it means . decrease
in production Of the most important fat.
All fats have their places, but milk
fat 10 by far the most important fat. 1t
would be calamity to this country II
there should be Q shortage OF milk fat.
Experiments have shown that vegetable
or animal fats will not take the place OF
milk fat. And when animals are fed
vegetable and animal fats they did not
develop properly and would not repro
ducs themselves. When milk fat was
added to their rations, instead OF animal
fats. these animals completed their
growth and reproduced themselves.
We have those who make the claim
that vegetable and animal fats nourish
the human body as we'll ~ milk fat,
when facts say they will not. There 10
no getting round the fact that the dairy
cow is the most essential animal to
mankind. Her milk is not only highly
nutritious, but 1t contains life giving
nronerties found In no other food. 1t 10
the duty of every man who keeps COWS
10 inform his city friends OF the fact
that milk fats contains nourishing proper
ties not found in vegetable or animal fats.
In other words, butter Ii more nourish'
inc than oleomargarine which 10 made
of animal and vegetable fats.

Married "a Trees In India.

Under the very shadow Of the tele-
graph pole We find the tree worshipers
Of India. Many kinds Of trees are wor-
SHIPPED In India for many kinds Of rea-
sons. Some are supposed to be the
abode Of demons who must be pro
piuated. The sacred bo tree under
which Buddha received enlightenment
Is worshiped by pilgrims who come IN
thousands.
In some small villages where there
are more women than men 1t often
happens that there are no men OF
equal caste to the girl whose time has
come to marry. Since the tree repre-
sents q deity which can assume any
rank or caste, the parents OF a mar
riageable daughter who has become q
burden to the family take her to the
village tree god and marry her to him.
She is bound to the tree and left either
to the mercy Of prowling wild beasts
or to be rescued by the first male OF q
lower caste who Is in search Of help

There was a Canadian Scot In our

There was a good deal Of jealousy at
that time between the Canadians and
the Australians. Each had the same
force in the field-four divisions. FL

He said one of the Australians had
carelessly remarked that the British
generals had decided 1t was time to
get through with the sideshow In Bel.

they had sent regular troops like the
Australians in to relieve the Canadians
Then some sensitive Canadian wish

they'd finish 1t up as well as they had
the affair in the Dardanelles. After
that our two days rest was made up
principally Of beating 1t out OF esta-
minas when strategic requirements
suggested new base or beating 1t into
estaminas when It looked as II we
could act as efficient re-enforcements.

hours, and the only places It didn't

A FEW days after the bombing
n raid, which ended so disastrous

A FEW days after the bombing
n raid, which ended so disastrous
ly for us, our battalion was re-
neved from duty on the front line, and
the tip we got was that we were to go
down to the big show then taking
place on the Somme. Our relief was
a division Of Australians. You see,
the sector which we had held in Bel
GUM was a sort Of preparatory school
for the regular fighting over In France.
It wasn't long before we got into
what you might call the big league
contest, but in the meanwhile we had
a little rest from battling Fritz and
the opportunity to observe some things
which seem to me to be worth telling
about. Those Of you who are exclu-
sively fond Of the stirring detail Of
war, such as shooting and being shot
at and bombing and bayoneting, need
only skip little Of this. We had an
entirely satisfactory amount Of smoke
and excitement later.
AS soon as our relief battalion had
got In we moved back to Poperinghe
for a couple of days rest. We were
pretty contented and jovial lot, our
platoon especially. We were all glad to
get away from the strain Of holding
front trench, and there were other ad-
vantages. For instance, the altera-
lions Of our muster due to casualties
had not come through battalion head
quarters, and therefore we had In our
platoon sixty-three rum rations night
and morning and only sixteen men.

Law. o. the Euealypts.

Eucalypts are evergreens which shed
their bark, but not their leaves. But
they are not shade trees. The leaves
are placed in inclined rather than IN
horizontal position, and the passage OF
light is but little obstructed. For this
reason smaller trees and bushes and
grass grow underneath, and the woods
In places assume the appearance Of q
Jungle from which arise the towering
shafts of trees. It Is interesting to
note. that primitive types OF eucalyptus
az well as the young OF more modern
types have horizontal leaves, pointing
to q time In the geologic past when
the climate was more congenial and no
precautions to conserve moisture need
be takeu.-National Geographic Maya

When boiling milk most people throw
away the skin which forms as the
milk cools. This skin Is, Of course, the
cream Of the milk, and by throwing It
away the richness Of the milk Is vast

boiled, put It into a Jug and stand 1t
In q basin not as deep as the jug and
let cold water run into the basin to
cool the milk quickly. At the same
time stir the milk, and the cream Will
