NEW YORK, July 3.-The arrival of

Reports from 10 large cities in.

cottontail and jack rabbits. with
wholesale prices ranging from 50
to $5 dozen for cottontails and
from 81 to ST dozen for jack rab-
bits, depending upon size and
quality. and distance of market
from supply. The increase de-
mand for rabbits this winter in
some cities is due, say dealers, to
meatless days and the high prices
of meats and poultry.

Early Hatch, Early Layers.

February, March and April are
the best months to hatch chickens,
but the sooner it can be done the
better. Hatching should be com.
pleted if possible by the first of
May. Chickens Matched before
this time will have good chance
to mature and be in laying condi-
ton as puHets before the cold
weather of fall sets in, and should,
IN consequence. be producers dur
ing the entire fall and winter. This
is one of the chief reasons poultry
specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture are
urging the importance this year
of the early hatch. Early hatched
chickens are also easier to raise. as
they live and thrive better than
those which are still small when
the hot weather begins.

An average output OF 1000 mines

The system is so well established. the
announcement adds, that this output
can be maintained without cessation,
365 days in the year.
Separate parts of the mines are
being made in 40 manufacturing
plants with 400 subcontraetors en-
gagged in the work. These separate
parts are all shipped to a central de-
pot where the mines are assembled,
loaded and shipped.
American mines are now being

what similar mines cost to make be-
fore America entered the war. in spite
of the recent increase in cost of raw
materials and high labor wages.

How to Add the Caterers
Touch TO Your Desserts

Your everyday desserts; your
gelatines and tapiocas, fruits and
buildings. They need a sauce.
Of course, plain cream does i'm
prove them-a little. And whip
ped cream makes them attrac-
tive, delectable-and expensive.
But marshmallow sauce adds
the caterers touch that makes
wonderful desserts of simple
desserts. Yet it costs less than
ordinary cream and sugar.
This is how to make it:
Put two tablespoonfuls Of
"Hipolite,s" in a small mixing
bowl. Add teaspoonful or two
of water or milk. Stir together
half a minute and you'll have
the very same marshmallow
sauce that's served with sun
daes at soda fountains.
You can get Hipolite's Marsh
maIlow Creme at all our stores.
It comes in Mason Jars and is
absolutely ready to use. No
cooking, no mussing, no chance
of failure!
