HOW TO MEET .-.
 THE SUGAR SHORTAGE Timely Advice by Miss Esteila Sprague, Home Economies Director

Some timely alvice on how to meet the sugar shortage was given to the ment made by Miss Estella Sprague, home economics director for Connecti- cut, who is in the office of the Com nittee on Food Supply and .CopServa- tion of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. In addition to pointing out various substitutes for sugar, Miss Sprague says that from a die tetic standpoint each person needs that candies. frosted cakes and sweet drinks are not essential for good health. Her statement follows: %
 "At the present time there prom ises to be shortage of sugar and the houseeeper is wondering where she can get what she actually needs, what substitutes she can find for granulated sugar and how she is to include in the family dietary the amount of sugar actually necessary to maintain health.
 Three ounces of sugar a day per person is sufficient. though many per sons consume a much larger quan- t:ty.' This three ounces should in clude all. sugar that is used with fruits @raw, dried or cooked-and in cakes. deserts, etc. For a person who is well. nourished and has adequate meals sugar in the! form of candy, necessary.
 "Browr sugar is, I think. the same price as white, but it will probably be difficult to get It can be used wherever white sugar can. but it will change the color, of white bread CT cake. ..5 }-
 Maple sugar will not be found in most stores. probably, as it is a spring product, but maple syrup is obtainable. The pure syrup is sell ing in some stores at 65 cents a quart. A very good combination of maple and corn syrups is sold for less.
 'KarO. a corn syrup, is in some places sold at IS cents for a can con- taining about a pint. It is an excel lent syrup and may be used in many ways. It is useful in making mullins griddle cakes. which require but little sweetening.
 'tMolasses should be substituted for sugar, wherever possible.
 Honey is ebtainable and it's use should be encouraged.
 'If people are really patriotic and ready to stand behind the Hoover pledge and other food conservation movements they will not buy up su- gar and hoard it.
 This situation is a test of what we are actually willing to do along food conservation lines. I think we should each take our chances with the pres ent supply of sugar: use as little as possible; buy as little as possible; use substitutes for white sugar; and if the supply gives out all go without together"

LESS MILK BEING
 PRODUCED THIS YEAR
Small Amount of Grain Being Fed is
 Given as the Cause.

The tester finds in his monthly vis- its to the, various herds in the COW testing association in tliis county that the quantity of milk produced is low CT than the same period last year. No doubt the causs is in the small amount of grain having been fed and which is being fed to the COWS. A great many farmers feeling that it is more economical to secure less milk at reduction in the cost of production 1t is hoped with the advent of winter feeding the COW will respond in pro- portion to the grain fed.
 The following table gives the name and record of the COWS in the asso- citation which have produced more than 30 pounds of butterfat or .000 pounds of milk during the period of 90 days, ending September 3Gth:

NEW HAVEN EMPLoYEs
 IN ARMY AND NAVY
Total of 8s3 Railroad Men Have Vol untesred sines the War Was De- ciared

Practically every branch of the army and navy is represented by men or the New York, New Haven and Hartford k Railroad company who nave enHsteo in the service of the country. A to- tai of 893 men have volunteered since the war was declared. This number does not include the men who are en- rolled in the national army. in the Operating department alone 5S1 men have been certified to the district boards for service in the national army and 429 drafted
 The number of New Haven men en- listed in the military and naval ser vice is divided as follows:
 United States army, 145; United States navy. 99; marine corps, 2; Na- val Reserves, s3; Massachusetts Ma Militia, 115: Rhode Island Militia, 1s; Massachusetts Militia, 80; Vermont Militia. ?; Railroad regiments. 2l7: Connecticut 4th Reserves, {; United States Aviation corps 3: Hospital corps. 8; recommended to West Point 1; First Reserve Engineers New York g; Coast Artillery. 23: PIattsburg, 4; miscellaneous, 2s. Total s93.
 The New Haven has kept most complete record of the men available for the national army. A card index of these men shows whether they are married or single. the branch of the company's service they are in; and tfe record before the examining boards.
 The New Haven records show that there are 9.073 men in the Operatin~ department subject to the select1ve army. Of this number 4,134 are mar ried, and 1921 are single with. depend ents. There are 3,435 men in this department between the ages of 21 and 31 who are single and who claim nc dependents. Of this latter number there are about 300 in the train ser vice for whom the company would feel justified in claiming exemption for industrial reasons.
 There have been already 3 conduc- tors engineers so sor fns ana army. The total number of men in the Operating department already called before their local boards is l. 5S3, or over 17.4 per cent. of the to- tai number of men available in this over 34.s per cent. have been certi. fled for service and AT drafted-4.s per cent. of those available for service -2s2 per cent. of the total called by local boards.

 The New Haven has adopted a pol icy of putting in claims of exemption only for such men as are indfspen- sable to ortration or those specially trained. Even in the case of such men it Is left to the division superin- tendents whether the loss of their ser vices would be injurious to the oper- ation of the railroad, as naturally la bor conditions vary on different di- visions of the road.
