 place of part of the sugar ordinarily
 used. Sirups with a distinctive flavor
 add sweetness, but also, of course,
 change the flavor of the canned fruit. A little experimenting in handling fruits should enable a housewife to
 develop various combinations of fruits
 and sirups which are pleasing to her
 own family.
 Caution: Fruits canned with plain water or with other than sugar sirup should not be sold until the jars have been labeled to comply with local and i federal requirements as to description ] of contents.
 How to Gan Fruit. 1 Boil empty jars and lids for at least l fifteen minutes before you fill them with the fruit. Rubber rings just be-
 fore being put on the jars should be
 cleaned by dipping for minute into a quart of boiling water in which a
 teaspoonful of cooking soda has been l dissolved Take the jars out of the

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people Heshy. develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hoilows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, thcre are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinnesS.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this defi- ciency so well as the ofganic phosphate known among druggists as bitre.phes- phate, which Is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food clements bitro- phosphate quickly produces e welcome transformation in thei appearance; thesincrease in weight frequently being fast enishing

 Borough.
 The attention of court officials here was directed Sunday to a pitiful case of abuse of a child in the village of Attawaugan, where, Constable Michael Grimshaw states, / T boy about three years of age has been kept confined in, an Jibstairs room, bare of furniture excepting for the headpiece of a mat tress. under conditions which, as he relates. are little less than appalling.
 Constable Grimshaw stated that when he visited the home just before midnight Saturday and demanded that he be allowed to see the child he was | escorted up the stairway to room. the door of which was tied shut with rope and upon the door being opened he found that a wan and wasted child was crouching -in terror upon a win dow sill and trembling with fear and cold
 The room. the constable said. reeked with a stench that was almost stit11nS and. both windows were closed so tightly that 1t would be impossible for the child to open them to get a breath of fresh air Constable Grimshaw ragged Sunday as he spoke Of the con ditiens under which he found the child

 MT. Grimshaw told of reports to him by neighbors of seeing the child's. tiny hands reaching up toward one of the small windows in the room where 1t was confined, evidently ih an effort to get some relief from the terror Of its confinement, but while Mir. Grim shaw said he understands. that this state of affairs has existed for some time and that thezceupie in charge of the child whirh is said to he an adopted one. have been in the habit of going out nights and leaving the child alone in the house and confined to it's prison room upstairs. no one re- ported the matter to him.
 Mr. Griinshaw up to Sunday after noon had gained much information or interest abouF the case and after q conference with -4i4s-#ill= arrested the man. who has had charge of the child, William Lane, and brought him to Danielson. locking him m at a cell in the police station.

Somewhere in France, Negro
soldiers are making history. Some
where in France, Ethiopia is
stretching forth her hand to God.
It has leaked out, according to
authentic reports, that for a long
while American Negro troops have
been holding a front line of
trenches in battle Scared France
not only have they made good in
point Of prisoners captured, but
wherever they have been stationed
they have gained the greatest re
spect and admiration of the
French people and are idolized by
the French children.

man dressed in the uniform of the
American Army assisting some
French women to carry burden.
Often, the sight of a Negro soldier
helping a French woman to wash
clothes or dishes, affords one the
opportunity to wonder why such
hue and cry is raised in America
as to the danger Of being near a
Negro man.
"Soldats nOirs d Amerique"
as Negro troops are known in
France, are making history that
is destined to outlive any slurs
that have been cast in the past
as to the bravery of Negro SOL
diers or the gentlemanly bearing
of the average Negro civilian.
AS to the fighting quality of the
'Soldats noirs d. Amerique" we
