Saving the Sugar in Preserving.
5Wnr0 Edited By LRazA II Gross am
~ M HosEHoLD DEPT CENTRAL AVGH SCHOOL llHHu

While the food administration is
very generous in its allowance OF
sugar for canning and preserving, II
is possible to save sugar even in those
processes. 1t has been found perfect
ly satisfactory to substitute sirup in
part, at least, If one can afford the ex-
ira cost of the syrup. II the substitu-
ton is pound for pound, the cost with
sirup is slightly less, but it the sub
stitution is by measure, the syrup cost
IS more because the syrup weighs
more per cup than sugar does. Sugar
weighs about 81 ounces per cup, corn
syrup weighs | ounces. OF course
when syrup is substituted by weight
the sweetening effect is not so great
but the resulting product is very
palatable.
am not sure enough of the use OF
corn syrup in jellies to recommend its
use from personal experience, but l
know it is very good in jams, con-
serves and canned fruit. And. this
season, we are urged to put up more
jams and less jellies because jams
utilize the whole fruit while in jelly
making. parts of the fruit often go to
waste unless they are used for fruit
buffers. More fuel and time is requir-
ed in jelly making than in jam max
ing.
In canning, use at least half corn

without any explanation, he married. Four
years have passed. In the meantime his
wife has died. He writes that he is COM
ing to ask my forgiveness and begs me to
give him another chance. Shall I refuse
to see him, or do you think he could be
loyal and trustworthy after this?
think you will have to be governed very
largely by your feelings toward this man.
Do you still care about him? II your affec-,
tlon has stood the test Of four years It
might be well to give him another chance.

hensible. Why not assume the attitude that
the friendship Of four years ago was rather

out IL he still interests you. Sometimes
these old boaus are very much like old

Of years, we wonder how we ever took them

seem queer and antiquated, and we realize

Peaches, apricots, cherries and
other fruits are becoming plentiful on
the Omaha markets. Peaches sell
around 80 cents a dozen. A large
basket of apricots brings IS cents.
Cherries of the big. sweet California
variety are 20 cents for a pint box.
Watermelons are fairly plentiful
now, but the price holds high. In
fact, they are as high as potatoes, 5
cents a pound. The high price Of po-
tatoes is a mystery of the market.
What has become OF the old crop, no
market man knows. He knows there
are none of them for sale. and he
knows that the new potatoes, dug be-

hours. This young lady wishes. by the sug.

luncheon to which some Of the busines.

building, shall be invited. 1t Is hoped
these friends will benefit the business, This
time, however, dancing Is wanted, for
which one Of the young ladies will bring

be played.
Everything pertaining to the former
luncheons was innocent, dainty and delight
full. All parties concerned respect one an

salad carefully.

The Price OF Sugar.
The wholesale price of sugar
advanced so that the retailers
can no longer sell at 10 cents,
and under the uncertainty of the
market it is impossible to fix a
price that will fit all the county.
There is a way, however, that
the retailer can stay within the
law and arrive at the correct
price. The Food Administration
permits the retailer to make a
profit of one cent per pound on
sugar. This price is arrived at
by adding l cent to the wholesale
price of the sugar and adding the
freight. Nothing else can be ad-
ded. Rents, insurance, nor 9TH

A Roland For His Oliver.

George R. Watt tells this one
but declines to give names for
publication:
A yuong lady whose sweet
heart is soldier in France, re-
ceived a letter from the young
man which contained just
enough French words to make it
wholly unintelligible to the re-
cipient. The young man had,
perhaps, "slung in" all the polite
French words he had picked up
and thought it would be a good
joke to put them in a letter to
his best girl. But the young
lady proved a match for him as
a "josher" and after getting his
letter translated wrote an an
swer and had a Grand avenue
Chinese merchant to copy it in
cold Chinese characters with
the exception of here and there
such words in English as Glove"
$50 happy" husband" "cot-
tage" and so on and dispatched
the missive.
In due time she received 8
letter from the young soldier
containing fervent expressions
of undying love and a reading
"between the lines" which plain
ly indicated that the writer was
burning up with fearful mis-
givings. The letter also asked
why in kaiserdom she had sent
such letter when she knew
there wasn't a Chinaman in his
regiment.
