SACCHARINE NOT A SUBSTITUTE AND
 REDUCES VALUE

The use of saccharin in foods Is re- garded as an adulteration under the Food and Drugs Act, according to a Department of Agriculture.
 The department had been asked by various interests to reverse or, at least to reconsider, the position which it took in 1911 upon the use of saccharin in food brought under the jurisdiction of the Federal Food and Drugs Act. This position in effect is that .inves- tigation has shown that the continued use of saccharin for a long time, in quantities over three-tenths of gram a day, is likely to impair digestion and that the addition of saccharin for cane sugar and other forms of sugar reduces the food value of the product and hence lowers its quality. There fore, the Secretary of Agriculture de- clared that he. would regard as adul- terated under the Food and Drugs Ac- any foods containing sacchariD, which might be brought under the jurisdtc- ton of that law.
 The department declares it is aware of no investigations which contribute any more recent evidence pointing to the harmlessness of saccharin. It has therefore declined to reverse its decision and 1t has regarded it as un- 1 fitting at this time to reopen the ques- | ton for the reason that a case Is now pending in the courts in which the l issues are presented clearly. The | department will endeavor to press the 1 trial of this case.

HOME SERVICE
 SECTION MEETS

At meeting of the Home Service Section, Bridgeport Chapter Ameri- can Red Cross, held in the County Court House, yesterday morning, Mrs. Paul L. Kicker, vice chairman, pre- sided.
 Questions of allotnrents and allow ances are constantly being brought to the front for adjustment and 1t is not to be wondered at. The government is working out the plan and has aim ed to be just and fair to everyone. For instance a soldiers widow re- ceives $25 per month, a widow with one child $35 per month, If there be two children the amount would be S47.50 per month, with S5 more for each additional child up to two. If the soldier leaves g. child but no widow the amount paid would be s2O and for two children S3e, while for three children 1t would be $40 per month with S5 additional for each child up to two more.
 Many have left dependent wives and children behind. Some have fathers and mothers of whom they are the sole support and the sacrifices in service are the part of these poor ones at home and almost as great as those incurred by the men when go- ing abroad.
 This department of the Red Cross is prepared to furnish Information tc the families of men in the service.

HOOVERIZING

Everyone feels that if possible they should serve meat that cannot be sent across, thus helping war. Kid neys can be used in place of beef and are cooked in this way: Cut fresh kidneys into small pieces, rejecting all fat and stringy pieces. Soak four or five hours in cold water to which has been added a tablespoon of salt
 Drain and pour over them boiling water to cover. Let stand five min
 utes and drain again. Place a table spoon of butter in a frying pan and when melted add one fineley chopped onion and fry brown and soft. Dredge the kidneys in flour and add to the pan. Cover with cold water, season with salt, pepper, a little kitchen bouquet and simmer until tender. There should be little gravy, so add more water if it boils away.
 Liver can be made into croquettes and baked in the oven to save fat. This is how they are made: Soak g pound of liver in cold water one hour, drain and fry brown in oleo. Put through food chopper and mix with stale bread crumbs that have softened in a little water and squeezed dry. Use in proportion to three cups of liver to one of bread crumbs. Form into cakes and serve with a sauce 1 made of the gravy and a little tomato.

BELIEF IN HALLOWEEN DATES BACK TO DAYS
 OF ANCIENT ROME

Classic mythology, Druidic beliefs and Christian superstition are joint partners in the mysterious happening known as Halloween. Away back in the days of ancient Rome the Romans had a celebration on November 1st in honor of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds. It was at this time that the stores laid up during the summer were opened. This, no doubt, fully accounts for the connection of nuts and apples, and probably pump kins, with Halloween.
 November 1st was also the time Of the great autumn festival of the Druids, They believed that on the eve of this festival the Lord of Death called together the wicked souls that had been condemned to be put into the bodies of animals for punishment during the preceding year. Hence the persistent belief of the gatnerlns of spirits of the departed on Halo"e'- en, even to the present day.
 Modern spread of educatlon mas however, driven before 1t much tna' formerly made of Halloween ana us ritualisttc observation, replacing merely an event dedicated to general jollity, pranks and antics. mostly of semt-serious prophetic nature.

doesn't aim to counteract nature. On the contrary, the present type of cor set has for it's chief function the aid ing and abetting of nature in coaxing the form to resume it's correct, beauti- full shape.
 Correct Fitting Imperative.
 Today a normally built woman with a graceless figure can rightfully at tribute her handicap to incorrect cor setting. For ahy woman-provided she isn't physically handicapped-can help herself acquire a prepossessing figure by the aid of a proper corset What it shall be isn't possible to say in a general article, for whether a corset shall be long or short depends upon the particular needs of the in- dividual
 The important thing, however, Is that the corset shall be properly f1t- ted. Why do so many women go to the trouble of having their exterior garments fitted arefully-fussing over the exact fit of a coat for days yet, when it comes to the more im- portant corset they purchase one casually, sometimes not even taking the trouble of having it fitted
 If you have your corset properly fitted it will improve your appearance far more than an elaborate exterior costume. It will help you main- tain an erect posture, improve your breathing, and to carry yourself with mora grace.
 If you are wearing a corset that ig little uncomfortable don't dismiss it from your mind with the belief that because it is new it should be uncom- fortable, and that with a little wear it will adjust itself to your figure. That isn't the way of getting value from stays. Either the stay will be rendered shapeless or the figure may be injured.
 A properly fitted corset should be comfortable from the start. And when it is comfortable it will be a help to the beauty of your figure.

PROTECTIVE FOODS
What are protective foods?

Much has been heard in recent years about two very important growth-promoting substances called vitamines, which are said to be vi- tally necessary for our well being.
 One of these is found in butter fat milk, egg yolk. the leaves of plants glandular organs such as kidneys, liv- CT and sweetbreads.
 The other one is in almost all foods except boiled flour. degerminated oornmeal, polished rice, starch, sugar and in fats and oils.
 In order to get a plenty of minera, matter and good supply of the first growth promoting substance," eat plenty, of milk and milk products and plenty of the leafy vegetables these are called the protective foods
 Drink plenty of milk. Use butter and cheese. Make milk soups an. milk desserts. Try to include one oi the following in your days meals Cabbage, caulifloWer, swiss chard coIlards Brussel sprouts, lettuce, eel cry, spinach or onions.
 Eat plenty of salade-1ettuce leavet and all.

The physical harmfulness of the corset we shall leave to the physicians to decide, for medical opinion isn't unanimous on this point. But as far as it's beautifying or opposing tnf1u- ence is concerned we must not per init the corset to remain altogether the object of invective. For the practical truth of the matter is that used properly the corset, far from be- ing hindrance is a positive aid in the maintenance and improvement o7 a beautiful form.
 The Modern Corset.
 speak now of the modern types of corset Of course, the corsets of a decade or so ago are out of the question. They were unquestiona- bly, ruinous to aesthetic standards or they contorted the body in an un- natural hour-glass form. contrary 10 all the laws of nature and of beauty They were a barbaric heritage from the middle ages when corsets of steel compressed the natural femininc waistlines into a diminutive and painful minimum prescribed by the fashion of that day. Indeed, within our own memories we can recall the fine expectations bestowed on the beauty with an 1S-inch waistline. Corseting the body and compressing the waist into this unnatural size could not fail to be unwholesome, and n one could for moment defend stays with such purpose. The modern 1 corset has not this fell purpose. It

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A cheap and practical time saver in washing paint or floors, Is a cheap sponge used instead of cloth. It takes in the moisture and dries the wood quickly.
 Another harmless cure is to mix two tablespoons of 1axseed, five cents worth of rock candy, one-half a cup of raisins and the juice of one lemon. Pour over all a pint of boiling water, cover and drink freely when cold. Bunions come from stockings being too short and also from shoes that are too small While the stockings should not be large enough to wrinkle, they should be flexible to give room for the l toes
