SAVE FRUIT PTS
 AND NUT SHELLS

As a counterblast against Ger man poison gas attacks on the fields of France the Food Admin istra ticn is issuing a can to house. w,ves, erocers, canners and Droprie- tors oF hotels and restaurants to aiu in the collection of fruit pits snd nut shells from which to make carbon for the millions of gas masks needed Dy the American army.
 Investigation by chemists has shown that pits of apricOts, peaches prunes, olives, dates, cherries and plums and the shells of brazil and hichory nuts, walnuts and butter nuts make the best carbon for masks. There is a double incen- tive to save these. Not only will their carbon save many lives at the front, but consumption of the fruit from which they come will result In utilization of perishable foods, while collection of nuts for their shells will also make possible the use or their meats as food.
 All pits and shells saved should be dried and turned into the near est Red Cross organization or to such receiving stations as may be designated. The Red Cross will ar- ranRp for their shipment to cen traI points. Grocers have been asked by the Food Administration to provide receptacles in their stores, into which pits and shells can be dropped, and to urge that their patrons save every seed faithfully. Cauusrs have been requested, thru the Federal Food Administrators Of ths states, to save all pits.
 Pits. seeds and shells should be thoroughly cleaned and dried in the sun or in ovens before being turn ed in. Only those named are of use: no others should be put into the receptacles, because time and la her must not be wasted in sorting.
 Hotels and restaurants have been asked to save pits and to aid in giving publicity to the campaign Housewives putting up fruit for the w.nter should lay aside their fruit stonfs for collection by any organ lzati:ns that are enlisted for the campaign. No attempt need be made to extract the kernels of fruit pits.

ENoU1RER's paid-in-advance subscrlp-

various vessels of the Survey, and since
1883 he was employed in the once on
the correction and revision of charts
and the preparation of notices TO

Use OF OTHER SWEETENERS
Mikes SUGAR THRIFT EASY

In the United States the consump
tion of not more than two pounds OF
sugar a month Is urgently requested
OF everybody by the u s. Food Adj
n illustration. That Is the total amount
that should be used for cooking OF
table use.
A limited extra amount, however, is
obtainable for canning purposes, as q
decrease in the amount Of fruit put
away for winter use would be mis-
fortune It Is not necessary, though
to crowd the sugar in as Of yore. Faf
loss than was formerly used will give
the fruit a chance to assert Its OWL
f2vor 1t is recommended that Lei
OF fruit be put away in its own juice
alone and sugar added when the prod
uct is served, after the December
sugar crop Is ready 1t will be found
that less sugar will then be wanted
than would be used up in the over
sweet connections that stick to the
I l'e-w7ar recipes.
Two pounds a month is the Mary,
land voluntary ration. That means
hundred teaspoonfuls for all purposes
In case housewives are harassed Will
any doubt as to their ability to get
along with that restricted amount,
they might consider that for months
their French fellow-allies have been
getting along with just fifty-fve tea
spoonfuls Even in Canada-which,
being a northern country, needs more
of this body-fuel than do people Of the
south-the Imonthly ration asked OF
the people is only seventy-hve tea
spoonfuls of sugar.
If it comes to a question of proving
patriotism by saving sugar, Maryland
women will not yield the palm to
either Canada or France.

DO YOU GRUDGE TO PAY The

ration that allows only 100 spoonful!

there Is sugar ration, they do no
know why, and are grumbltng.
They do not know, for instance, tina

FOOD 10 MUNITION.

Sugar, meat, fat are fighting poten
tials. Wood, coal, gasoline are fighting
power. Every unnecessary article dis
pensed with Ii so much labor ant
money saved. Every useless trade
abolished is so much brain and muscl,
conserved. Every Job taken owe,
means another fighter for the front
Such is the lesson Britain's womel
have had to learn. There the womel
are attending to these things them
selves by tacit and unanimous agree
ment, willingly, devotedly. They know
that the war can only be won IN th'
last test by the nation at home. The!
are the nation at home and they ar
going to win it by sacrifice, by sacrifice
and again and ultimately-by sacrifice
That IS the lesson we American wome1
must learn.

HELP FIGHTING FRANCE.

France has cut her bread ration one

cuts her bread ration. And she keep.
on fighting as bravely and as well
The home folks keep on working
That's France!
When France cuts her bread ration
she is cutting over onehalf Of her diet
for bread there is so per cent. Of the
meal
But France cannot keep on doing
this. France already is undernour
ished. She could fight better and work
harder If she was better fed

ounce of wheat to give it to her.
France must not starve. WE must

In Memoriam

Baltimore, Md.
In Memoriam
In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear father, George w. Sweeney.
who entered into rest years ago, the
18th day of August, 1916. May he rest
in peace.
Death has robbed US of our dear father,
OF the one we loved so well;
Taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with him to dwell.
Dear is the grave where our father is
laid;
Sweet is the memory which shall ne yer
fade,
Roses may wither and leaves may die
Others may forget him but never will l.
We did not know the pain you bore,
We did not see you die,
We only know you went away,
Without the time to say good bye.
BY his son and sons wife,
Norman F. Sweeney and Idella.
In loving remembrance of my hus-
band, George w. Sweeney, who died
August 6, 1916.
Two years have passed and still miss
you,
Friends may think the wound has healed
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies in our hearts concealed.
Peaceful be thy rest, dear parent,
IT'S sweet to breathe thy name,
In life we loved thee dearly,
In death we do the same.
By his wife, Martha Sweeney.
Sacred to the memory of our dear
stepnother and mother-in-law, Martha
n. Simpson, who entered into rest 6
months ago. February Is, 1918. We
loved her we'll but Jesus loved her best.
When YOU were suddenly called away,
dear mother,
Without the time to say go cd bve,
We knew your thoughts were with US
When you were called home to die.
We often sit and think of you
When we are all alone;
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
One six months have passed, our
hearts still sore,
AS time flies we miss her more,
She sleeps-we leave her in peace to
rest;
The parting was painful, but God
knew best.
Each hour has come to US anew
With bitter sense of loss;
0, God. in mercy pity US,
And help US to bear this cross.
BY her step-daughter and in-law,
Idela and Norman F. Sweeney.
