GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
10 sugar necessary in the diet?

10 sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet all the sugar needed ordi
nariy be supplied by using honey, sirups fresh pre-
served and dried fruits
What re the general sugar saving rules7
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible
other sweeteners Be sparing of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years Supplement- sugar with honey and sirups
Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness
Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them energy-food only because 1t pro-
duces energy quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need.
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone7
Two pounds per month means about ounces per
week, a little than ounce day. This daily
ration is trihe than tablespoons level full.
Ii should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoeyer-for table
USE cooking in ice and desserts, cereals
fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes etc.

ITO be named after ones head. The
head is the most important part of a
creature In the head are the eyes

Fathead.
"And there are the ears with which

said, splashing as If she did not think

sand there are our mouths, our
happy mouths"
"Why happy pray tell?" asked Mrs
Fathead, who was curious now.
Because into our mouths goes the
food-the goodies that we eat. SO our
mouths are happy"
Il never heard mouths spoken Of in
just that way before" said Mrs. Fat
head.
my dear, are you losing your
mlnd?" asked Mr.. Fathead as he look
ed at his wife in very worried man
ner. do you mean to tell me that
you've forgotten that we eat with our
mouths?"
81 haven't forgotten that" said Mrs.
Fathead, "but I never before heard
anyone call mouths happy. It's just
queer-that's ALL"
I'm queer, and glad of It," said Mr..
Fathead.
"Oh so you admit it," asked his
wife.
Most certainly, my dear, and I've
given you the distinction to be fat
head too by making you my wife. Al
though you have rather a fat head
yourself. l presume that was why
/ took you In the first place"
"And I suppose I liked you because
you had a still fatter head, and I
thought 1t was beautiful. Just lately
I've been longing to see thin heads,
or ordinary heads"
Don't long for the impossible, said
Mr.. Fathead. "Be a sensible fish like
myself"
"The fish families We're never noted
for much sense" said Mrs. Fat
head
"Then be as sensible as you can"
replied Mr.. Fathead.
Now Mr.. Fathead Fish has much
fatter head than Mrs. Fathead has
His forehead is really extremely fat.
He is quite a peculiar fish and has
II dorsal spines. His sides and his
fins are usually bright red and
he is very proud of his hand
some color.
81 think I'll give some swimming
races this afternoon" said Mrs. Fat
head.
"Good idea" said Mr.. Fathead.
"Well have all the Fathead family,
and We'll see which one can swim the
fastest, and the one which can do the
most tricks. We haven't had any
swimming races for long time. That
was a happy suggestion of yours"
Dear me-" said Mrs, Fathead, "how
happy things here are according to
you. There are happy mouths and
happy suggestions"
"ShOws my fine disposition" said
Mr.. Fathead with a silly grin.
Soon the races began and how
queerly all of the Mr.. Fatheads did
look, but they were so used to hav-
ing queer heads that they did not mind
In the least.

the Cardinals
Baker offered NiehoT a salary Of
$4,000 this year, but Niehof thought
he should received $4,000. That's
where the trouble came in. Baker
said he thought St. Louis would be
willing 10 pay Niehof $4,000, but
doubted if the CLUB would give him
more. If Niehon fails to come tc
terms with the Cards, Watson will
have to he sent back to St Louis, un-
less some financial arrangements car
be made. Baker said so far no de-
mands have been made by ct Louis.
