CORN SYRUP NAY BE-
USED N PRESERVING
Corn Syrup Successfully Used il
Equal Proportion With Sugar t

Canning Should be Busy Weeks.

lumbia.-The canning season Will
soon be over and, for that reason
! these last few weeks should be taken
advantage Of where there is fruit
that may be put up for next winter
use. Can without sugar wherever pos
/ sible. the Food Administration ad
vises, but can by all means. Sugar
used in preserving goes further than
in any other form for bodily require
7nents and the Food Administration
has made it possible for home Gamers
TO secure an extra allotment Of sugar
for that purpose. Skillful house
wives will find little difficulty in TAX.
ing care of their fruit now without
it will be more plentiful.
Corn syrup may be used successful
ly in preserves, jams and jellies by
using one-half corn syrup and one-half
sugar. In place of one cup of sugar,
one cup of clear honey or one and
two-thirds to two cups may be used.
These suggestions are made by the
Food Administration:
Prepare fruit and add the sugar.
Allow to stand several hours until
sufficient juice to prevent burning is
extracted. Then add the syrup and
cook as usual, but do not use any
water at all. 1t makes a very heavy
syrup, which 10 usually desired, and
does not make any difference in the
favor. - ~, :
In making preserves and marina,
ladies', equal weight Of corn syrup may
be used, making three-fourtha
syrup, instead of all sugar. One
method is to make blended syrup

sugar to the gently simmerin gfruit,
cook gently until it is dissolved, then
add corn syrup (equal weight pound

at the Castle.
(By the Associated Press.)

Amerongen, Wednesday, Dec. o5
delayed. y-Willian Hohenzollern, who
is much improved in health, attended
the usual daily morning religiousServ-
ice in. the Bentinck castle today. The
service, was conducted by a clergyman
from. the Moravian Brethren at Zeist.
Only the personal suite of the former
emperor and the former empress were
present.
The Bentinck family, which owns all
the land in the district, went to the
village church where the Christmas
service attracted many of the peasan-
try.
After prayers in the castle the for
mer emperor took the only exercise his
health permits-a walk in corridors
inside the castle. In the meantime,
the former empress took a brisk
promenade in the castle grounds. She
looked fairly we'll. but appeared to be
much thinner than when she arrived
in Holland.
1t is understood on good authority
that the former emperor's personal
cash fortune is guarded safely in an
important Dutch bank, where it was
sent when he quit Germany. The for
tune, according to the same authority,
amounts to more than one million

This fact has been revealed following

ers or chiefs of zbureausNof the war de-
partment, are authorized to grant dis
charges to enlisted men upon their
own application when there is sick
ness or other distress in the soldiers
family. They may also grant dis
charges ito soldiers who are needed TO
resume employment in industries
where the need is urgent. but these
instructions apply. only to individual
cases and are mot intended to release
men in large groups for any general
employment or occupation. These in
structions are contained in a circular
letter from Gen Peyton March, chief
of staff. to the draft boards.
- A soldier who is needed urgently by
his family or his industry should per-
sonally make application for disc charge
to his immediate commanding officer.
No man who voluntarily enlisted prior

under this authority, it is, asserted.

connected thru the organization. 1t
is the plan to establish a Boy Scout
employment bureau where employers
Of boys may send for help at such
times as their various businesses may
require the service of competent and
reliable youngsters.
1t is the plan of the Boy Scout or
ganization that the boys sent out from
scout headquarters in answer to these
calls be the kind Of boys who will
follow out the principles Of scoutcraft
even in what might be termed civil
ian employment" Under the rules of
the scout organization no scout may
take pay for services performed as
scout. For this reason the boys will
answer the calls for help as just boys
but they will be expected to remem-
ber that on their shoulders and their
honor will rest the responsibility of
upholding the traditions of their order
According to the plan as discussed
at meeting of the executive council

Commerce this noon. the employment
bureau should be in operation not

Lionel Legare, of Bethlehem, Pa,
when he brought suit against it in the
Shawnee county district court Novem-
ber IL, asking a judgment of $500,
the Kansas Free Fair association today
filed an answer and cross-petition.
asking for $1,000 damages.

tower" exhibitions at fairs and carni-
walls over the country and in his petit
ton charged that the Kansas Fair as
sociation had entered into a contract
with him to stage a performance and
agreed to build a platform in front of
the grand stand according to his own
specifications. He claimed that the
platform was wrongly built. that. as a
result, he was unable to give a per-
formance' and that it had caused him a.
loss of $4O0.

today, the fair association asserts that
Legare had expressed himself as sat-
ified with the platform; that he had
waived all Irregularities and had even
gone so far as to erect part of his
paraphernalia. but had refused to give
a single performance. AS a result, the
association claims, its gate receipts
were 1essened and they were damaged
in the sum of $1,000.
