USE OF OTHER SWEE1E..'EnS
MIKES SUGAR THRIFT EASY

In the United States the consump
ton of not more than two pounds Oh
sugar a month is urgently requested
of everybody by the U. 8. Food Ad
ministration That is the total amount
that should DO used for cooking OF
table use.
A limited extra amount, however, 10
obtainable for canning purposes, as
decrease In the amount of fruit put
away for winter use would be mis-.
fortune. It is not necessary, though,
to crowd the sugar in as of yore. Far
less than was formerly used will give
the fruit chance to assert Its own
favor. 1t is recomm ended that lot
of fruit be put away in Its own juice
alone and sugar added when the prod
uct is served, after the December
sugar crop Is ready. 1t will be found
that less sugar will then be wanted
than would be used up in the over,
sweet concoctions that stick to the
pre-war recipes.
Two pounds month is the Mary
land voluntary ration. That means
hundred teaspoonfuls for all purposes
In case housewives are harassed with
any doubt as to their ability to get
along with that restricted amount
they might consider that for months
their French fellow-allies have been
getting along with just fifty-fve tea
spoonfuls. Even in Canada-which,
being a northern country, needs more
of this body-fuel than do people Of the
south-the monthly ration asked of
the people Is only seventy-Ave tea
spoonfuls of sugar.
II 1t comes to question Of proving
patriotism by saving sugar, Maryland
women will not yield the palp to
either Canada or France.

a voluntary sugar ration of two

In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar Is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and

perintendent will be asked to tell
their congregations and schools on
that day what great work is done by
the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION both in France and other
war-ridden countries and in the

for war relief funds which will take
place in September and will be par
ticipated in by the Young Women's

NECESSITY FOR SAVING FOOD
GREATER THAN EVER

Fred NJ Sackett, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator. has made a statement to
the effect that the coming of peace
will make food demands heavier in
stead of lighter. They are growing
heavier day by day as new territory
is being brought within the American
lines and when the final crash comes
with the total liberation of France
and Belgium these demands will be
added to those of Poland, Serbia,
Armenia and European Russia.
The statement points out that large
stores of food stuffs in India and
Australia will be released, but that
these stores will not In any measure
compare with the increased demands
that will come from the liberated peo-
pie. The statement follows in part:
"A tightening of the belt anew is
necessary already; whatever is sent
for the victims of war released from
German bondage will be additional.

food must be saved. A surplus can
not be created by eating corn instead

we cannot dip very much into the sup
ply of feed for animals, because 1t is
In the same boat with bread grains.
Relying on food supplies out of
the ordinary will help some. but it
won't solve the problem. Calculations
show that 95 per cent of our susten-
ance Is from staples. We can not
make up the enormous deficit in
staples and the main saving must be
on staples.
This is the basis underlying the
new home card, which will be soon
distributed irrespective of peace
terms, to serve as a daily reminder to
the people of the pledge made in
their name and with their assent to
sustain the Allies during the war, in
health. comfort and courage. and to
send help quickly after the war to
those whose need is greater than
ours"

Provide Plenty or Water.

Water receptacles for poultry
should be large enough to hold plenty
of water at least twenty four hours,
so the fowls will never suffer from
lack of water. Drinking vessels
should be carefully rinsed when fresh
water is given. If water is supplied
irregularly, the hens will likely drink
too much at a time. II should not be
exposed to the suns rays in summer
or be allowed to freeze in winter ii
this can be avoided. A flock of 80
hens in good laying condition will re-
quire four to six quarts of water a
day.
Shade OF some kind should pro-
vided for poultry, and this can often
be advantageously furnished by plant
ing fruit trees (such as pear, plum,
cherry and applet in the yard.

pork IL is doubtful II the war would
have been won.
For eighteen years past the Inter
national live stock Exposition has
done the lions share of the task of
maintaining this production. Its
stimulus has resulted in steady i'm
provement of the herds and hocks of
the country, has been responsible for
an infusion of new blood by impor-
tations from the best herds of Eu-
rope, without which the domestic in
dustry would not have been equal TO
It's present performance.
Chicago, as the logical center of
the live stock business, has also done
its part. II is about to cap the eli
max of a phenomenal season by pre-
senting to the public the greatest dis
play of live stock ever gathered with
in the precincts of a showyard. In
all the world, all down through the
ages, not excluding Noah's assem-
blage of animal life on the ark, has
the 1918 spectacle at Chicago been
attempted.
War has been a period of siren
uous effort for the American live
stock grower. He has taxed ocean
carrying capacity with his product
and is prepared to feed and restock
Europe during the period of rehabili-
tation. What he is doing will be
demonstrated at the International
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago the
first week of December.

WHEN PEACE is REACHED.

There need be no apprehension of
materially lower prices for live stock
when Europe goes on peace basis.
In the case of grains, the situation is
somewhat different. An immense
wheat acreage and an accumulation
of grain in the southern hemisphere,
which will automatically become a
valuable, are likely to be reflected in
the future scale of prices.
However, there is no meat surplus
in sight anywhere, not even during
the next half decade. Only in the case
of hogs is bare sufficiency likely.
The bare shelves Of European lard
ers must at least be replendished and
this task will naturally devolve on
the United States.

TAKE STEPS TO
PE
PROTECT JEWS

New York, Nov. 10.-Action by
the allied powers to guarantee that
the rights of Jews will be protected in
the mid European countries after the
war was urged tonight by the execu-
tive committee of the American Jew
ish Committee in its report to the
committees annual meeting here to-
day.
Special reference was made To the
situation In Poland, where IL was said
the cry. POLAND for the Poles" has
been raised and that 1t was proposed
to send half the Jews in Poland to
Palestine and half to the United
States.
The Rumanian Jewish situation is
likely to assume the magnitude of the
Polish Jewish question, the report
continued predicting that there was
danger of continued disfranchise-
ment of the Jews.
The committee branded as false re-
ports that the Jews in Russia are TAX
ing the part of the Bolsheviki and de-
clared that the great majority of the
Jews there are ranged on the side Of
those who are struggling for decency
and order" II was predicted that in
Russia a democracy would emerge, in
which the Jews would be accorded
just treatment.
Referring to the committees
pledge of loyalty, adopted year ago,
the report declares that "the Jews of
America can say with pride that they
have given unstintedly and whole
heartedly their lives, their posses
sions and those that they hold most
dear"
There are between 10000 and
100000 Jews now in the army and
navy of the United States, the report
declared, and up to November there
have been 2,502 casualties among the
Jewish troops overseas, $50 of which
resulted In deaths.

Turkey Pointers.

One of the most important steps to-
ward success in turkey raising is the
proper selection of breeding stock.
Birds for breeding should be selected
for vigor, size, shape, strong bone,
early maturity, and color of plumage.
Turkey hens will usually lay about IS
eggs in their first litter, while those
that do not have to be set can be
broken up on becoming broody and
made to lay second and sometimes
third litter. The high mortality
common in young poults is usually
due to some of the following causes:
Exposure to dampness and cold, inn
proper feeding, close continent, lice,
predatory animals, weakness in the
parent stock.

being the size of the standard cold

Equipment For Sheep Raising.

Equipment for raising sheep on the
farm need not be expensive. In mild
ATTITUDES little housing is needed. and
the main need is for fencing and pas
lures of sufficient number and size
to allow frequent changing of fiocks
to fresh ground to insure health.
Where winters are longer and more
severe, buildings and sheds are nee
essary to furnish protection from
storms, though no special provisions
are needed for warmth. Dryness,
good ventilation, and freedom from
drafts are the first requisites of build
ings for sheep. Convenience in feed
ing and shepherding must also be
held in mind in locating and planning
such buildings or sheds.
Small flocks can be cared for in sec
tions of barns having st>bling or feed
storage for other stock. but with a
flock of. say, 100 ewes separate
buildings are desirable. The interior
arrangement of these buildings
should be such as to require a mini
mum of labor and the least possible
moving of ewes in doing the feeding
and caring for them during the lamb
ing season. A building of this type
can also be utilized for fattening pur-
chased lambs to be disposed of before
Landing begins in the regular farm
flock, A good supply of feed racks,
grain troughs, etc, can be provided
at small expense and will save labor
and prevent waste of feed.
