crr,lcG as the official reports of July
l show.
Although we were constantly bonn
harding their lines s.oy and night, still
we fooled the Germans several times.
This was accomplished by throwing
an intense harrage into his lines
then using smoke shells We would put
Il curtain of white smoke across No
Mans Land, completely obstructing
his view of our trenches, and
would raise our curtain Of fire
as e in an actual attack. All
down our trenches the men would
shout and cheer, and Fritz would turn
loose witE machine-gun, rifle, and
shrapnel fire, thinking we were com.
ing over:
After three or four Of these dummy
attacks his nerves must have been
near the breaking point.
On June "a, 1915, at $40 in the
morning our guns opened up, and hell
was let laose. The din was terrific, a
constant boom-boom-boOm in your ear.
At night the sky was red glare.
Our bombardment had lasted about
two hours when Fritz started reply
ing. Although we were sending over
ten shells to his one, our casualties
were heavy. There was a constant
stream of stretchers coming out OF the
communication trenches and burial
partie; were common sight.
In the dugouts the noise Of the guns
almost hurt. You had the same senSa-
ton as when riding on the subway you
enter the tube under the river going
to Brooklyn-a sort of pressure on the
ear drums, and the ground constantly
trembling.
The roads behind the trenches were
very dangerous because Boche shrap-
mel was constantly bursting over them.
We avoided these dangerous spots by
crossing through oner 1":.-.
The destruction in the German lines
was AWFUL and 1 really felt sorry for
them because I realized how they must
be clicking it.
From our front-line trench, every
now and again, we could hear sharp
whistle blasts in the German trenches.
These blasts were the signals for
stretcher bearers, and meant the
wounding or killing of some German in
the service of his fatherland.
Atwell and I had tough time of it,
patrolling the different trenches at
night, but after awhile got used to it.
My old outfit, the machine gun COM
pany, was stationed in huge elephant
dugouts about four hundred yards be-
hind the front-line trench-they were
in reserve. Occasionally would stop
in their dugout and have a confab with
nv former mates. Although we tried
to be jolly, still, there was a lurking
feeling of impending disaster. Each
man was wondering, if, after the
slogan, "Over the top with the best OF
luck" had been sounded, would he still
be alive or would he be lying "some-
where in France" In an old dilapidated
house, the walls of which were SCARED
with machine-gu bullets, No. 3 sec
ton of the machine gun company had
it's quarters. The company's cooks pre-
pared the meals In this billet. On the
fifth evening of the bombardment a
German eight-inch. shell registered a
direct hit on the billet and wiped out
ten men who were asleep in the sup
posedly proof cellar. They were
buried the next day and attended the
funeral.

our map. Then to rub it in, they
hoisted some more signs which read,
"Come on, we are ready, stupid: Eng

It is still mystery to me how they
obtained this knowledge. There had
been no raids or prisoners taken, so
It must have been the work Of spies
in our own lines.

The Common Table

To TIE average American the ques-

has been none of his concern. He
could get what he wanted if he could
pay for it and nothing else mattered.
But when America entered the world
war and pooled her interests with her
associates, the whole food situation
changed. This change concerns not
only governments, but the individual
We have become internationally mind
ed even in the matter of food; and
today every American must look on
himself as a citizen CT the world-a
hungry world-when deciding what
shall go on his table Before he helps
himself, he must stop and ask, What
is there to eat?" and How many peo-
pie are there to eat it?' For we
must all sit down to common table.
Not only have we pooled war inter.
ests, but we have pooled food re-
sources with the Allies.

Making The Old Dessert
Into A Patriotic One

A dessert cannot be patriotic and
have sugar as one of it's constituents
and yet dessert cannot be a des-
sert unless it is sweet and delicious.
Our problem is therefore to change the
old recipe which contains sugar into
new one that is equally as sweet.
Maple sugar, maple syrup, corn
syrup, honey or molasses may be
used for the sweetening of eustards,
junkets, gelatine desserts, clear jel-
lies, sponges, frozen dishes, ice creams,
mousse steamed, cereal or tapioca
buildings or fresh fruits. The choice
of the sweetening is matter Of taste.
In place of one cup of sugar called
for in the old recipe use one cup Of
honey or from 2-3 to 2 cups Of corn
syrup. Approximately the same sweet
ness is obtained
Since every cup of syrup or honey
furnishes Il of a cup OF liquid for ev-
cry cup of syrup or honey that is sub
stituted fsr sugar reduce the original
amount of the liquid in the recipe u
cup.

employment were said to be the chief
contributing factors.
The proportion OF decrease in crime
in England was shown by the fact
that in 1913 one person in 500 was
imprisoned and today only one Of

Seven Ways For
Daily Sugar Saving

/. Use fresh fruits without sugar
2. Cook dried fruits without addi-
tional sugar; they already contain SUI
gar.
3. Can more fruit without sugar;
put UP fewer jams and jellies.
4. Use less sugar in tea and cof-
fee; you will soon learn to like it
better.
5. Avoid such sugar luxuries as
candy, cakes, chewing gum, sweet
drinks and sodas.
6. Use honey, maple sugar and sir
ups and other sweeteners when avail
able.
Z. Cut out all desserts or other
dishes that require much sugar.

A Sugar Kitchen Card

Every housewife throughout the
hand knows there is a sugar short
age. Perhaps she has gone to the
grocery in hurry to give 25-pound
order of sugar for canning and pre-
serving and has been told she must
sign certificate issued by her local
Food Administrator. Or perhaps she
has asked for 5 or 10 pound bag
OF graduated sugar for cooking and
table use and has had stingNy meted
out to her one or two pound bag
-, do tell us, then, exactly how much
sugar we may have and help us to
make that go round" is the universal
cry. And that is exactly what the
Food Administration wants to do.
Every territory, down to the small
est town or hamlet, has a local Food
Administrator who is issuing the ma
tional rulings as fast as they come
from Washington. The present maxi
mum sugar ration for household use
Is 2 pounds per person per month.
This means l ounce per day or about
s 2-5 level teaspoonfuls. Put that on
your kitchen card where you can see
1t from time to time
Included in this 2-pound ruling, so
far, are all cane and beet sugars, as
well as all raw sugars, brown sugars,
and refners' soft sugars.
Sweetenings not included in this,
then, are maple sugar, various kinds
of sirups, honey and fruit juices. The
proper amount Of these to use in rec
ipes that call for sugar must be grad
sally learned; but in place of one cup
of sugar the same amount Of honey is
generally used, while % to 2 cups of
strip is required approximately the
same sweetness is obtained.
Every cup of strip or honey fur
nishes 4 cup of liquid, therefore for
every cup of strip or honey that ia
substituted for sugar, reduce the oris-
1nal amount of liquid in the recipe u
cup. ZIG level tablespoons equal 1
cup).
There are certain dos" and "do
nots'' that may be found suggestive
and helpful on a sugar kitchen card:
Do not serve sugar desserts.
Do not sweeten fruit lndiscrimi-
nately.
Do not hoard; buy only two pounds
at time if you are a city dweller,
or FIVE pounds if you live remote from
markets.
Do not use sugar on cereals when
fruit juices will do as well.
Do not put an open sugar bowl on
the table.
Do not frost your cakes.

Naval officers and their families
who buy at commissary stores have
gone on the honor system of sugar
purchase established by the Food Ad-
ministration for civilians.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-10-09

Do use fruit juices for sweetening
summer drinks.
Do can and preserve fruits without
sugar, whenever possible.
Do return to the grocer any unused
balance left from canning allotment.
Do remember that our soldiers need
sugar more than we do.
On every sugar kitchen card should
be writ large reminder to consult
the Fair Price List, as published from
time to time when buying sugar. In
this, as in al! other commodities, the
United States Food Administration is
trying to stabilize the retail price
throughout the country and any over
charge should be reported to the local
Administrator.
