cally all fruits can be canned at home

Canned fruits preserve most Of 0e

mineral substances very useful In

Do not cook or handle fruits In gal

Save Sugar.

Before the war Germany. Austria
Hungary and Russia produced 81 per
cent Of the total supply Of beet sugar.
about one-third Of the entire sugar
supply Of the world. With the with
drawal Of sugar exports OF these heav-
ily producing countries II Is easy to
see why the allies supply Of sugar
has shrunk. The one thing we can
do In this country II to increase our
production and decrease our consump-
ton. to change our sugar habits until
the war IL over.
h practically all dishes requiring
sugar some other sweetening may be
substituted. The sweetening power Of
sirups varies somewhat. 80 that will
have'to be taken Into account. Honey
Is about as sweet as sugar. but when
II Is used the liquid In the dish Will
need to be decreased. Maple sirup II
sweeter than sugar and corn sirup less
sweet. When substituting sirups for
sugar decrease the liquid one-fourth.
Dried fruits Of various kinds. when
added to any cereal or pudding de-
crease the amount Of sweetenins
needed.

SUPREME in INSECT MIMICRY
Really Wonderful Act of Caterpillar
Shows Natures Protection
Thrown Around lnnocents.

I witnessed a quaint little scene
onsa blackthorn bush in Epping forest
day or two ago, writes IL. F." in
Manchester (Eng) Guardian. 1t is
well known that many species of cat
erpillars SO closely resemble the
brown, barked stems, while others, be-
ing green, fix themselves to the now
green stems of the current years
growth.
Among the blackthorn twigs OBJ
served one young member of the dark
er species sticking out, rigid and mo-
tionless, at the orthodox angle Of As
degrees, from apparently young
green shoot. On closer examination i
discovered that the young green shoot
was itself a caterpillar sticking out at
an angle of As degrees.
What had happened was obvious.
The disguise of the green caterpillar
was so perfect that even another cater.
pillar--itself master in the art OF
twig initation-had palpably. been
completely deceived and mistaken the
green caterpillar for a twig. Surely
this is a triumph Of insect minicry.
