War Time Sweeteners

ERICA has several excellent war time sweet
eners that will be used largely during the
shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des-
serts and other dishes requiring sweetening.
to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the
recipes should be decreased one-fourth.
One-third of cupful of sugar is equivalent
TO one-third of q Gun of honey about nna.

Sale Franklin, the building in
Havre named after Benjamin Frank
lin and formerly used as a meeting
place for peoples clubs has been
turned into a health center by the
Belgian Commission of the American
Red Cross.
In the building, where formerly
social and economic questions were
discussed, are now located a dis
pensary and clinic for children, a
maternity hospital and a day nurs-
cry. The dispensary is open daily
from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. except on
Sundays. In the shady grounds sur
rounding the building, the American
Red Cross is now constructing a
special hospital for children.
While this center is operated pri-
marily TO assist Belgian refugees,
many French children, with the ap-
proval of the Belgian authorities are
being treated at this clinic. This new
center was greatly needed because
the refugees had increased the pop
ulation of Havre from a normal of
about 100000 to more than 2OO,OOO
souls. The Belgian minister of the
Interior with the assistance of the
French Government secured possess
sion of Sale Franklin which has
thus become the headquarters of
Red Cross social service and health
activities in the community.

Mrs. Juliette Low, national presi-

The statement of the committee of

says, in part:
"The stability and progress of the
nation and even the preservation Of
our civilization are involved in the de-
cisions of the present period and all
should share the obligation to aid the

sions based upon experience and to de-
mand action of the most fundamental
character.
"Short courses of intensive federal
training for all young people before
they vote appear to offer the only solu-

courses, covering at least six months
life in the open at government ex-
pense under military discipline, ac-

would qualify our young people eff

"The beneficial results of training in

Preparation for the training can
not wait until after the war, as the
responsibility for wise government will
more than ever fall upon the new vot-

progress and cooperation into every
