Honey in Ice Cream

An ice cream concern in Spokane, Wash, has effected marked savings in sugar by using pounds of strained honey and pounds of sugar to 46 pounds of milk and cream in it's mix. While honey costs little more than sugar, it makes fine grade of ice cream, this concern reports. and the saving in sugar justifies a little extra outlay for the substitute sweetener.

ENEMY'S ADVANCE
HELD AT ALL POINTS

London, April 27.-Von Arnim's
headlong onrush in Flanders has
been etfectualy stopped by the French
and British. though the position at
Ypres continues critical. The Ger
mans have reached the southern out
skirt Of Noormezeeie village, accord
ing to Berlin's official claim, and are
thus only a scarce two miles directly
south Of Ypres.
But the Germans have missed their
chance to follow up the KENNEL
Height by a swift northward dash
into the rear Of Haig's Ypres forces.
Though the Ypres salient in all proc
ability will be gradually yielded to
the foe there will be 70 large-scale
victory in it for Won Arnim, which it
might have been had his legions not
been too badly cut up and exhausted
Yesterday and unable to reap the
fruits of their tactical success.
Today the enemy did not renew his
fierce onslaughts. The allies, on the
other hand. regained choice pieces
Of ground in counterattacks. Thus
the village of Locre at last accounts
was again in their hands. Along the
line of ebusch-Dranoutre, which
is now Ypres' right flank, the Franco
British troops today fought splcn-
did delaying battle in which terrible
losses We're inflicted upon the Ger
mans.
