Down in the busy munition making
city of New Britain, Nora Burke, is
doing her bit on the firing line in
walloping the retreating huns. Nora
Burke's firing line is located in the
kitchen of George M. Landers, assls-
tant Federal Food Administrator for
Connecticut, and her most important
battery is her dependable kitchen
range. When Mr.. Landers informed
his cook that his household must be
run on not more than two pounds or
sugar per person per month, Miss
Burke said, every we'll, we can get
along on that nicely. When, one
after another, fancy cookies and de-
licious cakes continued to appear on
Mr.. Landers' table, he was impelled
to question his cook and ask if they
were really abiding by the two
pounds per person per month rule.
eyes, sir, am, she replied, "and
if it is those cookies and cakes you
have in mind, perhaps you'd like to
know that I've found a way of gett-
ing along without sugar entirely"
Mr.. Landers was interested to the
extent that he had the cook reduce
to written recipes her cake and cookie
formulate and they were submitted to
Miss M. E. Sprague, head of the Food
Administration Home Economics
Department, who Immediately said
they should be published for the
benefit of every cook in Connecticut.

AMERICAN GAS MASKS

Chicago, April 6.-When it comes
to fighting gas attacks the American
soldier is the best equipped in the
world.
This is the declaration made here
by Mai. ]. J. Aud, chief advisor of
the British scientific mission, who is a
chemical expert.
He said that the German command
has become so enraged at the failure
of its high-power gases to discom-
fit the Americans that they have Of
fered a reward of ten marks to any
soldier who brings in an American
gas mask.
THE American mask is the marvel
of the allied armies" says Maj.
Aud. 1t is absolutely gas proof and
fool proof. II takes only about six
seconds to put it on. Unlike the
German mask it does not hang down
and get in his way when he bends
