La demanda por az1car para hacer
conservas ha sido mayor de 10 que
81 esperaba. Ha habido algunas wi
stones de las reglas por los consumi-
dores que usan azdcar; la tremenda
demanda por buques para llevar tro-
pas a Francia ha reducido ell ndmero
de barcos para ell trasporte de azdcar
y los cargamentos de az1car de Ha-
waia y Cuba Sc estan moviendo muy
despacio, y la de Cuba especialmente
tiene que considerar ell peligro de los
submarines. Estas Y otras circuns-
tancias han hecho que la administra-
ci6n de comestibles ponga a los pa
naderos en- la classification de fuertes
consumidores de azdcar. Sc desea
que los que hacen conservas en- ca
sa avisen a sus concentrates donde
compran, cual es la cantidad que ne
cesitaran para las conservas durapte

 It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff- stop scalp itch and falling hair and promote a new growth or money re- funded. It's in great demand by dis eliminating women because it makes the hair so soft. lustrous, easy to ar range attractively and appear heavier than it really is.

If you want good looking hair and plenty of it by all means use Parisian sage-a little attention now insures beautiful hail for years to come.

The soil for cucumbers should be a rich sandy loam, rather moist but not wet The seeds may be planted in berry baskets or on soda in the hot bed and these transferred to the open ground, or the seed may be placed di- rectly in the ground. Considerable time will be saved by starting the plants in the hotbed. In either case they should not be placed in the open until the ground has warmed up. which will be about four weeks after the last killing frost in the spring.
 They may be planted in hills feet apart each way or drilled in rows ' feet apart and thinned to from F to IS inches apart in the rows. It is a good plan to use an abundance of we'll rotted manure in the hills or in the rows.
 Cucumbers should receive freuuent shallow cultivation until the vines be- gin to run freely; after this very little cultilatiou is required. They are ready for use as soon as large enough, and no fruit should be allowed to ri- pen on the vines. It is advisable to spray cucumbers with Bordeaux mix ture, as they are quite liable to be injured by diseases

Our trip across the pond took us
many days. AS this was my first trip
of this kind I experienced several
things which l had never thought of
before. The first night l vas put on
submarine guard, noticed several OBJ
jects but no submarines.
We had various forms OF amuse-
ments to assist in breaking up the
monotony of the trip. We had sing
ing, music, boxing, etc. On Sunday
our Y. M. c. A. officer held services.
How wonderful it was to watch the
waves about us, and while services
were being held to see floating above
us, both the church and the American
flag. Our Y. NJ. c. A. man in closing
told us there were two things that
we should each possess, as he took
from his pocket the Bible containing
the American flag. Those two en-
blems stand for and represent the two
great principles for which we love, for
which W honor and for which we
fight.
Greetings from John Moen,
