HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, August 9, 1918.

I Astrologers read this as a doubtful
day. Uranus rules strongly for evil,
while Mercury is mildly benehc In
aspect. The Sun is in a place Of un-
certain power.
The lunation of this day takes place
with 'luminaries heavily afflicted by
Saturn and Neptune In the sixth
house. A Naval disaster seems to be
Indicated and mutiny among sailors
who are secret agents of the Kaiser
may occur. There is a good sign for
railways and postal matters. Theatrt-
cal enterprises should profit greatly.
Mercury, on the cusp of the seventh
house. is read as denoting diplomatic
activities and changes Of ambassa-
doris.
There Is a sign read as indicating
unusual illness among the people of
the United States-possibly an cpl
demic.
Shipping continues subject to fav-
orable conditions. but danger OF Ger
man treachery Is pfesaged. This NAV

saturn Is in a place that appears
to presage sharp discussion IN legis-
lative bodies. Congress will have
many exciting deliberations after re-
cess, the seers declare.
Uranus today Is exceedinolv
threatening for aviation. Unusual
care should be exercised while this
configuration prevails.
Rumors Of evil may be prevalent.
Treachery is encouraged by the planet
most strongly adverse today.
Fires and explosions are moro prob-
able than usual under this sway.
The death Of a famous literary man
Is indicated and there Is the prosnos-
ucation Of many losses to literature
and art among persons who have won
high place.

not ignorant of the demand for

But many who would gladly go to
Europe are deaf to the home call.

SUGAR BOWL
ECONOMIES

There will be no actual sugar fam
inc the Food Administration comforts
US, but there will be q long continued
sugar shortage that will require the
most rigid economies.
Only a few weeks ago the Hun sub
marines sank 1900 tons of sugar OF
the Atlantic .Coast-sugsr bound to
the United States from Cuba and
every American household will feel
that loss. Ships that once imported
sugar to our shores are now carry
ing soldiers to France. And the sugar
beet fields of France and Belgium
that once added to the worlds sweet
ness are now fields where the har-
vest Of world freedom Is reaped in
blood. at a sacrifice that makes the
sacrifice OF mere sugar too infinitesi-
NAL for thought.
Thanks to the wise restrictions on
sugar purchasing by individuals there
is little chance for boarding and
there will be enough sugar for US
all to have 3 little. The Food 4
ministration itself suggests these aids
to individual sugar savings:
Keep to one lump Of sugar for a
cup Of tea or coftee-it is enough.
Do not use a whole teaspoonfuI of
granulated sugar when a half-tea-
spoonful would satisfy the need.
II condensed milk is used in cook
ing or beverages reduce the sugar Gus
tomarily used. The milk is already
sweetened.
For griddle cakes and waffIes use
the surplus Juice from canned or
stewed fruit instead OF sugar sirup.
Add chopped currants. raisins, fgs.
or dates to the breakfast cereal and
use no sugar.
Train all members Of the family to
eat less sugar or no sugar on fresh
fruits. 1t is unnecessary and dulIs
the natural flavor and valuable fruit
acids,
Remind the family daily that the
individual sugar ration is five tea
spoonfuls day and urge each per-
son to keep honest count:
Try putting up some fruits with
out the use OF sugar, using instead the
pulping method popular with English
housewives. To pulp fruit place the
fruit, washed. but unsweetened and
without additional water, in a kettle
over a slow fire and allow to simmer
until the Juice is brought out. In
crease the heat until the fruit boils.
Boil one hour. stirring constantly then
can and seal in sterilized Jars. Use
the fruit pulp for jam, pies, puddings
and stewed sauces. Open the Jars Of
pulp during the winter and add sugar
or sirup enough. or enough thin sIrup
70 make jam or stew. one Jar at a
time as desired. Allow from l-3 to X
pint OF sugar to one pint Of pulp In
preparing the fruit for the table.
Save sugar by omitting sweet and
spiced pickles this year, and dry in
stead Of canning or preserving such
fruits as apples. peaches, apricots,
and plums.
