Europe.
 We must make up the loss of the l beet sugar lands and factories cap tured or destroyed by the Germans in northern France and Italy.
 Ships which would have kept up the flow of sugar have been sunk. Fwenty-six thousand tons of sugar were lost recently in submarine raids upon our Atlantic coast.
 Fifty thousand tons of ugar-carry- mg shipping were transferred to meet the requirements of Belgian relief.
 As a few practical suggestions use honey, syrups, sorghum, molasses, in- stead of sugar. Use dried fruits as a source of sugar. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and you will desire less sugar.
 We may have monthly allowance of two pounds of sugar per capita and there is besides this a limited amount for canning, to be distributed in ac- cordance with regulations by the fed eral food administrator of your state. Surplus fruits and vegetables should be preserved in some manner, and canning, drying. fermentation process es are all to be encouraged. Fruit may be canned without sugar Fruit juices may be bottled and saved for jelly making until sugar is more plen- | tiful. Other sweeteners besides sugar lE3y jelly and jam making.
 Meat Situation. Be very sparing in the use of beef. There is sufficient amount of pork to permit it's rse as a means for re- | lieving the pressure on beef Mutton l and lamb may be used. Parts of beef and pork which cannot be shipped | heart, tongue, liver, sweetbreads, brains, sausage-may be used freely
 Wheat Conservation Must Go On. 1 Reports of large harvest should not mislead us into thoughtless use of wheat. Preparedness for the next year l of the war is most important. In times of plenty we must lay up re- serve stocks Wheat conservation must ] go sternly on.
 1 A Berry Patch Resort.
 This is a true story of evets which l happened in the days before there was any call for conservation. There is all the more need for making it come true now.
 A family of five-mother, father, two boys and the baby-decided to go somewhere for an outing. One morn ing about 5 they left the house with a car filled with pals of all sorts and sizes, a washtub or two, and the necessary camping equipment Father steered the old machine toward blue berry patch which was miles away and before nightfall they set up camr right in the middle of the patch. | If you have never done it, you cant imagine the joy of camping in the sl midst of a. blueberry patch. When yor
 close your eyes at night, blueberrief
 as large as watermelons hang in giant
 punches before your eyes. In the day
 time you feel like a 6 year old who has
 suddenly been made general manager of candy store.
 The family picked and picked. Ever the baby sat on blanket and filled { tin cup without moving from place t
 place. The family went home with th'
 Washtubs full of berries in the bacl seat and the boys riding on the run . ming board.
 This is good time in which to irni
 tate this thrifty family. No crop o berries is too large or too small to b neglected. A dish of fresh fruit fo breakfast or a pint put up for winte ; is worth while If you haven't tim } to clean off the few bushes in the pas ture lot, let the neighbor's children d 5 it r
 Camping parties are the best solu 3 tfons for taking care of the huge berr crops WHICH SU LO WdSl0 yearly III dl l most every state. Instead of taking l 1 500-mile trip to a summer resort, talk l 1t to 8 berry patch. Blackberries, re
 raspberries, b1ueberries and severa l other kinds are abundant in many 10 : calities- Search them out and say them for winter. A Quick Meal for Cleaning Day.
