u Housewife Learns to Employ
Substitutes Much Sugar Can
Be Conserved.
few RECIPES WILL ASSIST
Honey, Corn sIrup, Sorghum and Mo-
lasses Are All Good and Easily
Procured for Making Cakes,
Pies and Puddinas.

One cupful Of sugar q week for ev-
eryonel For our coffee, tea, cocoa, for
our lemonade and iced tea, and for
sweetening all our cereals. fruits and
desserts. If we are to make this eight
ounces now allowed per person per
week last for the allotted time, we
must either cut out many desserts or
learn to use the sugar substitutes.
Honey. corn strip, sorghum, molasses,
and reflners' strip are among the best
and most easily procured substitutes.
Various fruit sirups and the home
made beet-sugar strip can also serve
in some parts Of the country.
The cupful or more of sugar that is
usually required for cake assumes
large proportion when we are on n
sugar ration. This fruit cake which
depends upon sirup and raisins for
,weetening will be found just as good

British Successes of 1917 Pale
In Comparison to Latest
Battles.
Big EVENTS OF FOURTH YEAR
Battles Of Cambria, Third Battle Of
Ypres, Battle Of MenIb Road. Of
Broodseinde and Passchendaeie
Loom Up Importantly.

London.-The heroic battles of the
British army during the last half OF
1917, including the battles Of Cam
brai, the third battle of Ypres, the bat
tie Of Menin road, of BrOodseinde and
of Passchendaele, would loom up Inn
portantly In any survey of the past
years fighting on the western front but
for one reason: They do not COM
pare in any sense with the fighting
since March 81, 1918.
The spring of 1917 saw the begin
ming Of the allied offensive against
Germany, but the third miscarried al
most from the start, and. after 1t was
seen that there was nothing more to
be expected from Russia, the great
offensive" of the allies found itself
diverted into number of smaller bat
ties. where occasionally some 100000
men were employed on either side.
Some $4,000 prisoners were taken by
the British In eight of these thrusts
against the German line between
August l. 1917, and the close of the
year, and important positions were
won, but the successes were only tao
tical.
