1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before in the history of Amer
lea, has the canning season played
such an important part as it does this
year. House wives must can for vic
tory and can as much as possible.
Strawberries have come and are 60
ing-for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans and
store them in cool dark fruit closets
for winter. Berries Of other sorts are
appearing, and from now on, practical
ly every week will bring some new
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for win
ter food by the women OF America who
understand to how great an extent
their canning now means to the food
supply Of the future
Because the food administration rec.
ognizsd the tremendous assistance
American women would render by
canning and preserving the 25-pound
sugar arrangement was made. Any
one can, upon the signing of a certifi-
cate stating that the sugar obtained in
to Be used for canning and preserving
purposes only. get as often as il nec-
Cssary. 26 pounds of sugar at one
time. The certificates are held By the
retail grocer and are sent in to the
stats food headquarters where tAAv
are checked and filed.

HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number of causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than we could have anticipat-
ed at the beginning of the year." says
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover in a communication
received by Federal Food Administra-
tor Thomas B. -Stearns. "The In
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has necessitated
the curtailment Of sugar transporta-
ton, particularly from the longer voy-
age, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some Of the accessi-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
a less yield than was anticipated such
as certain of the West Indian Islands.
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been some destruction OF beet su-
gar factories in the battle area of
by submarines.
"As close an estimate as We can
make indicates q reasonable expecta-
ton from all sources Of about 1.600. 900
tons of sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half of
the present year. This il based upon
the maintenance of the present meA-
gre allied ration. An improvement in
shipping conditions would Of course
relieve this situation as quantities of
sugar are in unavailable markets. We
must. however. base the distribution of
sugar during the next six months. up
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.
This supply Of SOC, 900 tons neces-
states a considerable reduction in our
consumption. To provide three pounds
Of sugar per person per month for
household use, to take care of our
army and navy and to provide for the
necessary preservation of fruit. milk,
etc., will require about 100000 tons

Have you heard of what happened
in Roumania when that stricken nation

And yet we felt so helpless, you and

were We not the very ones who car

Roumania? You shall be your own
Judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered Roumanian army
still struggled to beat of the Kaiser q

trampling the life out of the little

Then came the miracle. One morn.

You, my friend; you who have help

nerrIe, That Renewed vIoor.

Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century, 1T is related, poor Arab wss
travelling in Abyssinia. Finding HIM
self weak and weary. he stopped near
a grove. For fuel wherewith to cook
his rice, he cut down n tree that hap
pened to be covered with dried berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that these half
burnt berries were fragrant. He col
lected number of them, and, on
crushing them with n stone, found that
the aroma was increased to great
extent. While wondering at this, he
accidentally let the substance fall into
can that contained his scanty supply
of water. A miraclel The almost pu-
trid water was purified. He brought
1t to his lips: 1t was fresh and agree
able; and after short rest the travel
er SO far recovered his strength and
energy as to be able to resume his
journey. The lucky Arab gathered as
many berries as he could, and, having
arrived at Alden, informed the mutt
OF his discovery. That worthy was an
inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the in
fiuence of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion Of the roasted berries,
and was 80 delighted at the recovery
of his former vigor that in gratitude
to the tree he called 1t camuha, which
In Arabic signifies "force."

Women wish to be loved without a

personality to something which DOM
mates and measures 1t. They will
