Fats supply energy. Without fats
peoples flesh melts from their
bones and they weaken. When We be
come hungry we draw on the fat OF
the body; when that is gone we are
easy prey to disease.
A deficiency of fat cannot be re.
placed by an excess of starch and
sugar.
A child requires about half as
much fat as a man and an old per-
son about three-quarters as much.
The error of using too much fat
especially lard, has been the cause
of much of our digestive trouble
We will be doing ourselves a kind.

ORCHARD NOTES.

The first of February is here and
the last call for spraying with con-
centrated lime-sulphur for the San
Jose scale is made in this issue of
the Ruralist. If this spray is not ap-
piled before the paper comes out
again it will be too late. Don't let
the trees go into the growing season
without this spraying. The Febru-
ary spraying with lime-sulphur is a
very important spray; it not only
kills the scale, but also many spores
of diseases that are lurking about
the trees just waiting for warm wea'
ther to get in their work on the
plants and fruit.
Finish up what pruning is still to
be done before the rush of spring
work is upon you. Don't put this
off any longer unles it is intended to
prune in the summer time. Look
over the place for the last blight
cankers on the apples and pears and
get them out of the way.
Get ready to plow the orchard by
March. If the cover crop has not
made a good growth give it time

ORDER FIRMS TO
MEET SUGAR RULE

Washington, Aug. 6.-Mail order
houses which do an interstate bust
ness were requested by the food ad-
ministration today to send into 9TH
er states only such amounts of su-
gar as residents of those states are
permitted by local food administra-
tors to purchase.
Mail order houses heretofore have
been taking orders for 25-pound
quantities of sugar for home can
ming, regardless of the state from
which they come or whether there
is a real need for sugar for can
ming in that state. In some cases
out of regard for fruit crop condi-
lions or for other reasons, sales of
canning sugar have been restricted
to 10 or Is pounds at a single pur-
chase. A resident of one of these
states in ordering % pounds at a
time from a mail order house, the
food administration holds, is defeat
ing the purpose of the sugar regu-
lations.
