No ma-am! you cannot get any sug.
ar for canning cranberries. The food
administrator has ruled that cranber-
ries do not come under the head Of
"perishable fruits" and since sugar Il

"turned down." However, II may b
of interest to some housewives "a
know that cranberries can be sweeten-
ed to almost the same degree Of
sweetness by using Karo instead of
sugar. The editor Of this page made
Ia cranberry pie Sunday without The
use Of . bit Of sugar, and not one Of
the family knew the difference. You
have to 70 about Il . little differently.
Boil the cranberries . few minutes, ol
until they are heated thru, then odd

Do not use any more water than pos.
sible, q Karo Il part liquid. Boil
berries and Karo together Tor Q few
minutes and II not sweet enough "a
suit, add . little more Kare and boil I
minute or two longer. Boiling helps
to bring out the sweetness. Bake q

top little strained honey which has
been mixed with . little Of the cram

MORE COMPLETE
CASUALTY LISTS
SOON TOBE GIVEN

A compromise plan whereby Ameri.
can casualties will be Identified while,
at the same time, no information of
value to the enemy will be made pub
lie. is expected to be announced here
very soon.
The almost unanimous wave of pro-
test from every section against the
failure OF the War Department to
identify the names OF the men on the
casualty lists has impressed the
President, members OF the Cabinet and
officials today. In consequence, 1t II
expected that the bare names. now
given out, will be supplemented by
data sufficient to show just who the
man actually is.
With the numbe; OF men killed in
action increasing daily. and certain
to be very much larger as the Ameri-
can units get into action more and
more. officials believe that the plan
now in effect should be expanded. 1t
is understood that the President has
asked General Pershing for further
Information as to the reason why only
names should be made public.
To date, including the casualties on
the TuGania, there have been 33S
American soldiers killed in action.
Now that II is officially admitted that
American troops are in the front line
trenches at three separate points on
the western front, 1t is only natural
to assume that the list will rapidly
Increase, and officials who are familiar
with the situation say that inasmuch
as in certain cases there are fully
nifty men OF the same name now in
France. IL is imperative that further
be made public.
