syrup may be used In syrups when
corn syrup Is used in place of sugar.
Thus If your directions for making
the syrup to be used In making canned
peaches reads three cups Of water and
one cup of sugar brought to the boil.
use two and three-fourths cups of wa
ter, n cup of corr syrup and one
fourth cup of sugar. For preserves, In
place of a pound of sugar, use two
cups Of corn syrup and one-half cup OF
sugar.
Housekeepers will need to vary the
amount of substitutes used and the
proportion of corn syrup to sugar to
suit the taste of the family and the
delicacy of the flavor of the fruit.
Less corn syrup can be used with
those fruits which have such a dell
cate flavor that the corn syrup taste
predominates to such an extent that IL
spoils the natural flavor of the fruit.
An expert in home economics has
been experimenting with corr syrup
jelly. She made jelly, using three
fourths cup of white corn syrup to
one cup of plum juice, cooked to 103
C., which had a good texture but a
strong flavor. One-fourth cup of sugar
and one-half cup of corn syrup to one
cup of fruit juice or one-half cup
syrup and one-half cup sugar to one
cup of juice are more desirable pro-
portions from the standpoint of flavor.
She made good plum butter by using
three cups of fruit pulp to two cups OF
corn syrup and one-half cup of sugar,
and good orange marmalade and
blackberry jam, by using all corr
syrup in the same proportion as she
would have used sugar.
Cost of Corn Syrup.
Corn syrup, bought IN ten-pound
cans, is One-third to one-half cheaper
than that bought in pound cans. II
bought in ten-pound cans it is no
more a pound than sugar, but since
two cups of sugar equal one pound,
while n and one-third cups of corn
syrup equal 4 pound, cup of sugar
costs approximately AS cents while a
cup of white corr syrup costs ca
cents.
Even though American housekeep-
ers pay for this substitute 1874 cents
per pound for the equivalent of sugar,
they are much better off financially
than the m of the Allied nations.
They also must figure that the war Ia
costing them something, and if 1t Ia
not paid in this way it will have to be
paid in tears.
Prepare to Can Peaches.
"Carman" is about finished and

The loaf of bread available for our.

enough to "go around" il we all wan
to eat more than is absolutely neces-
sary for our maintenance. 1t is every

"tighten his belt and to make a gen.
uine effort to live on as thin a slice Of
the loaf as he can. Unless that be

cermany's Enforced Economy.

Germany's military ucceSS is large
ly p%redicated upon her ability to cen-
ter the entire national effort upon the
business of war. 1t is safe to say that
she never would have been able to
bear the burdens of the fight as well
as she has during these four long
years had ii not been for the enforced
savings in material, money and men
BLOCKADE. If it had not been for the
stern necessities created by that block
ade the German people would not have
been willing to submit to famine ra-
lions as to food. clothes, shoes and
other similar articles.
IT is difficult to bring about. drastic
economy without the compulsion ex-
ercised by hard necessity. For us the
problem is whether or not, of our own
free will, we shall be able to estab-
fish our w voluntary blockade
against waste and extravaganza. It is
a problem whose solution requires the
greatest intelligence and the greatest
degree of unselfish patriotism. 1t is n
problem that will put the spirit of Il
people to the severes test.
The government is not devoid of
means of promoting economy. The
war industries board. the food and
fuel administrations. the capital issues
committee, the department of labor
and department of agriculture all
move in the same direction of increas-
ing necessary production and decreas
ing unnecessary consumption.
Full success. however, may be
counted upon only II the whole-heart-
cd c~o-oneration of every citizen of the
United States can he enlisted.

Nashville short while one morn
ing last week. He had been in
Alabama making prohibition
Mr.. Bryan was very
much gratified at the recent action
of congress on the prohibition
question and predicted an early
and complete victory.
While admitting that he ex-
pected to devote Ms entire time to
the prosecution of the fight for the
ratification of the prohibition
amendment, Colonel Bryan took
occasion to pay a sterling tribute
to the governmental policy in the
conduct of the war and to beseech

SIeds Common

For two weeks prior to last Sun
day it was no uncommon thing to
see sleds runningin every direction.
1t was a popular mode of travel
by farmers coming to town to
trade. In fact, sleds were used
for many purposes. Farmers
brought in their barter on sleds
and their corn to mill for grind
ing. We saw one sled upon which
hay was being hauled, and many
with wood. In fact, sleighing was
good for several days. 1t has been
many years since the people OF
this section have had so long a
spell Of weather suitable for Sleigh
ing. We doubt if many ever saw
a much longer seige of bad weather
in this section of the country.

Constitution in Way

There has b. en- some talk of a
special session of the legislature to
ratify the prohibition amendment.
1t has also been asserted that the
constitution positively prohibits
such action. In proof of the lat

Escape Bad Accident

Section Foreman Bob Murphey
was called out to examine the high
water conditions on the Reedy
creek crossing of the L. & N.
railroad late Saturday night, and
when he, together with bis crew of
eight other men, were returning
to TrezeYant, they came near hav-
ing very serious accident. Mr..
Murphey had made the examina-
ton of the leyee and trestle and
not knowing that freight train
was due, they started for Treze-
want, and when near FARRELL, there
being a dense fog, the headlight
of a fast oncoming freight loco
motive was sighted, and an effort
was made to stop the car and clear
the track, but it was soon seen that
to get the car off the track was
impossible. Mr.. Murphey ordered
all his men to jump for their lives,
and he said that they had only
left the car when the pilot Of the
engine struck the handcar and
scattered tools in every direction,
and carried most of the car on the
pilot for several hundred yards
before stopping. None of the men
were hurt, but if they had not
been quick in jumping all, per-
haps, would have been killed, as
the train was making fifty miles
an hour.

HOG RAISING
Subject Interestingly Discussed
at Meeting Monday

An interesting meeting was held

was called by County Agricultural
Agent G. H. Moody and addressed
by DR.. Robert Jay, of Nashville,
who is on the staff of the state
veterinarian. About twenty hog
growers were out and all joined in
the discussion of problems of swine
management. Special stress was
laid upon the methods of keeping
hogs free from lice, worms and
cholera, and the Importance Of
supplying them with the proper
feed and mineral matter at all
times. The construction and use

built by the county agent. Con-
siderable interest was manifested
in the model A" type hog house,
which was also on exhibition.
Tuesday morning a demonstra-
ton in vaccination was given on
the Mebane farm, after which az
examination was given for those
who desired to apply for permits
ito vaccinate against hog cholera.
With these permit-ho holders distrib-
uted over the county it will be an
easy matter to control any future
outbreaks of the dreaded cholera.
