diet. Much less. however, than we
have been accustomed to think ne
cessary. We can easily use less
fat than we do and we can also re-
duce our uses of animal fats by
using vegetable oils in cooking in
place of butter and by using poultry
fat for shortening purposes.
That we are being asked to curtail
our use of white sugar doesn't
threaten the removal of the required
sweets in our diet. Try using only
half the usual amount of white
sugar, with honey or maple sugar
or corn syrup to make up the
amount required. Stewed raisins or
sliced dates will sweeten the break
fast cereal.
Some of the body's fuel must come
in the form of sweets, it is true. but
that does not mean that all of it
must come in the form of the white
sugar now so needed by the Allies.
Keep in mind the body's needs
in food elements and then set about
to supply these needs with foods
that are not the present shipping
needs for our own soldiers and those
of the Allies. First know the die
tetic value of those foods that you
are asked to save and then learn
how to supply these same elements
with other foods.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SELFISH AND DECEIrTI

SELFISH AND DECEIEFUL
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l have been engaged to a man whom
l deeply love and whom l cannot give
UP. / now find he is married, with
two children. Upon acquainting him
with my knowledge of the fact, he
told me that proceedings were in
court for a divorce and that his mar
ried life has been unhappy.
He told me he became engaged to
me before his divorce because l had
other suitors, and he was afraid
might become engaged to one of
them.
D. M.
There are selfishness and deceit as
the foundation of this mans actions.
He had no right to give you the i'm
preston he was free. no right to put
you in the untenable position in which
you now find yourself-as the fiancee
of q married man. How do you know
that he is ever going to be free to
marry you? How can you satisfy
your conscience that you are not a
thief of love and guilty of stealing
your happines from another woman?
1t seems to me, judging by the data
you have given me. that your best
chance of happiness lies in putting
out of your life a man who has not
dealt honestly or honorably with
you-or with the mother of his chill
dren. This may not be advice that
You will like or find easy to follow,
but l think 1T is advice that will lead
you TO ultimate peace.

II don't need any help, thank
you." she said quickly. Il am not

But the snow is deep" he re-

the drifts to the steps. You might

She made no reply, but started
up the steps. Halfway up she
paused and looked back over her
shoulder.
"Caspar!" she called, then as the
wind caught her words and blew
them back to her she issued sharp
command to Milton.
Tell Caspar to take the car

has been out all the afternoon and

Mrs. Livingstone suggested.
But, with a great effort, Cynthia
freed herself from Stewards Aold.
II am all right now," she said
firmly. ''If you do not mind, Aunt
Amanda, l will go up to my room
and rest for a while before dinner
Let Mr.. Stewart help you," Mrs
Livingstone ordered.
The girl was so dizzy that she
started to accept the arm he offer
ed, then, as she saw a swift express
sion of pain cross Dora's face, she
changed her mind.
"Oh, no, thank you," she said
II can walk up alone
But Dora was by her side in q
moment. Let me help you, dear
she begged, and, putting her arm
about her cousins waist, she went
upstairs with her.
Cynthia did not look back. Be-

face she did not want to glance al

throbbing of her own heart, she did
not dare look into Milton Van

What TO DO
And How to Do 1t as Outlined
For Housewives by the Fed
eral Food administrators

Il know what the United States
Food Administration is asking us to
save" one housewife was heard to
remark. but 1 can't cut down any
more than / have unless / can get
something to take its place"
That is exactly the question to be
solved-What will take it's placer"
The first thing to determine, then,
is what each of these foods you are
asked to save, contributes to the
body's needs. And the next step
is to find other foods that will sup
ply those same food elements.
Wheat furnishes starch for one
thing. But so do the other cereals.
Why not use corn, oats, rye, ice and
barley as both an admiXture in
flour and as a cereal? Serve such
starchy vegetables as sweet and Irish
potato more often and less bread
will be eaten.
Meat has long been considered
the chief source of protein. But
there are many other foods equally
rich in bodybuilding material such
as milk, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs,
dried legumes and some of the nuts.
The duty of the patriotic housewife
is to study which of these foods
are most satisfactory to her family
in exchange for meat and then TO
devise new ways of combining and
serving them. She can also extend
the meat flavor and make a very
little meat go a very long way. For
stews some of these meat extend

dishes can be prepared by combin-

CHAPTER XIV.

When Cynthia opened her eyes,
she found herself carried through
the fast-falling snow and there were
voices about her-Dora's being the
most distinct.
Cynthia, darling, are you hurt?"
as she was pleading. "Oh, that
stupid taxi driver! Why couldn't he
room?"
Whats the matter?" Cynthia
muttered, trying to sit up.
But the arms that carried her
held her close. BE quiet, dear, just
for a moment Milton Van Saun
whispered. Il am taking you to
Dora's car"
A moment later she was lifted
into the depths of the Livingstone
limousine and Dora climbed in be-
side her.
Are you hurt, Cynthia?" she
quavered. I'VE were right behind
your taxi. and big truck skidded
and struck it, for your driver passed
too close to the truck and pieces
of wood and glass from the win
dow must have hit you-or some
thing did and stunned YOU"
Il am all right" Cynthia said,
sitting up straight. But as she did
so sharp pain made her catch her
breath.

ALL I am sure it amounts to Moth
ing"
Her cousin peered at her by the
light of the car lamp overhead.
There's no sign of cut on your
face" she announced. Thank
goodness for that
Milton Van Saun had seated him
self by Cynthia, while Gerald took
his seat by Dora. Cynthia, shaken
a weak desire to drop her head on
Millions shoulder and cry. but she
struggled against her folly. Dora
taxed so fast that there was no
necessity for anyone else to speak.

was saying. He Just picked you
up as if you had been a kid and
carried you right back to our car.
was so scared that if Gerald had
not been with me 1 do not know
what l would have done. He reas-
sured me in a moment. By the
way, Gerald, thank you!"
A Tense Situation
She giggled Historically, but Gym
thia noticed that Stewart did not
smile. Instead he gazed at the girl
with a tenderness that even Milton
Van Saun must have resented if he
had been watching. But Milton was
looking at Cynthia.
Here we are at last!" he an
nounced as the car stopped at the
Livingstone door. You'd best let
me lift you out, Cynthia
Il can walk perfectly we'll, thank
YOU" Cynthia said, decidedly.
Then let her walk, Milton" Dora
advised. Don't fuss over her She
hates it,"
Her voice had grown suddenly
tense, as if she were aware that the
situation was strained.
Cynthia turned to Gerald Stewart
as she stepped out of the car.
II am a little dizzy, Gerald" she
said. "Will you help me up the
steps?"
Certainly" he answered, spring
ing to her side.

May Still Eat Candy
and Be a Patriot

Is it wrong to make and eat candy
in war times? Can we find in this
class of food substitutes for sugar
just as we are facing substitutes for
other foods that are being needed
abroad? With every desire to be
patriotic those who eat candy are
uncertain whether it is wrong or
right, because this part of the food
program has not received as much
kmphasis as that part touching
grains and meats.
The food administration says it is
possible to eat candy and satisfy
your sweet tooth and still be a pa
triot if you use care in selecting the
kinds of candy that contain a mini
mum rather than maximum
amount of sugar.
We are asked to share our sugar
with the allies, yet the American
sweet tooth Graves candy. 1t not
alone has food value but a reason
able amount of it is desirable in the
diet. There are at least four groups
of candy that contain a minimum in
stead of a maximum of sugar, and
which also contain other pure and
wholesome ingredients which are
plentiful.
The first group includes chocolate
coated candies with nut and fruit
centers, especially the fashioned
chocolate creams with the bitter
sweet coating and uncoated candies
such as nougatines, Turkish pastes
and similar varieties. There is an
abundance of chocolate; it is pure
and wholesome and has high food
value. You are cooperating in the
conservation program if you eat
chocolate confectionery containing
such centers.
The second group Includes hard
boiled candies" such as lemon drops,
stick candy, fruit tablets, peanut
bars peanut brittle glace nuts and
the like. In this group may also
be placed molasses candies such as
taffies and kisses.
Marshmallows and similar candy
comprises the third group. They
may be eaten plain, toasted, dipped
in chocolate, rolled in cocoanut and
in many other palatable forms, also
popcorn confections.
In the gourth group are included
gum drops, jellies. jelly beans and
the like, giving a wide variety of
candy made from pure and whole
some ingredients and containing "a
minimum amount of sugar.
In eating candy in any of these
four groups the consuming public
is doing two definite things to aid
conservation. First, it is saving
sugar without neglecting the great
American sweet tooth; second, it is
enabling the confectioners to con-
tinue their industry and employ their
labor as usual.
