MANY VARIETIES OF SUGAR
Those Which Are Contained in Dried
Fruits Are Recommended as OF
Very High Food Value.

When you say sugar, you mean tnat
white crystalline material which
comes originally from the sugar cane
or the sugar beet. And that substance
is Il pure sugar. But it is not the only
sugar, by any means.
If you were chemist you would
call that sugar "sucrose," and you
would remark quite casually that, OF
course, there are other sugars.
Some of these other sugars are "glu-
cose," or "dextrose," or grape sugar."
"fructose or "levulose," or fruit
sugar." "lactose," or milk sugar."
and "maltose," or malt sugar"
Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar and
maple sirup, corn sirup and many 9th
er sirups contain one or more OF these
"other SUGARS" In this sense, all the
sugar substitutes are not really sub
stituteS at all, but are sugars just as
cane sugar is sugar. All fruits con-
tain sugar of one kind or another.
Dried fruits-prunes, figs, apricots,
dates-contain a great deal of sugar.
They can be used by themselves as
sources of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars have very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They are energy
foods and of particular value in that
they act very rapidly in producing
energy for the body to use.

WASTED HOT WATER
IS so MUCH COAL
THROWN OUTDOORS

Almost without exception domestic
water is provided in the cities of the
east by pumping plants which burn
coal.
Therefore, any Of the hundred ways
in which we habtually and commonly
waste water Is direct waste Of coal.
So far as cold water Is concerned,
this is very small waste indeed, but
1t Is q much more serious matter where
hot water Is concerned, the United
States Fuel Administration points out.
A leaky tap on hot water pipe will
waste several gallons of water-and
several pounds Of Goa lin an hour.
SEE THAT ALL YOUR WATER
PIPES AND FAUCETS ARE WITH
OUT LEAKS.
A little careful supervision In the
kitchen will often cut In half the
quantity of hot water used, with an
obvious saving in coal.
Likewise, many Of us are spend.
thrifts when we get into bathtub
and use two or three times as much
water as necessary for perfectly
good bath.
Don't let the water run after you
have enough in the tub for bath.

Big U. s. NAVY BASE
Vast Establishment Maintained
on French Coast.
n Composite Of Navy Department
and Of an American
Navy Yard.

American Naval Base, France
Here on this rugged Breton coast there
Is an American naval establishment
which Is a sort of composite OF the
busy activity of the navy department
at Washington and one of the Dig
navy yards on the American seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces In French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff quartered In
one of the largest buildings of the city,
fronting the Place President Wilson.
American blueiackets are on guard ut
all the entrances, and STEADY files or
American naval officers and sailors
crowd the corridors on their various
duties. u.....
Besides the rush Of the port ITSELF
this is the naval administration CEN
ter for 300 miles of the French coast
divided into three districts, with a
number. of the chief ports into when
the masses of American men and ma
terial are pouring.
Aside from the American transport
fleet which comes and goes, there Is
standing personnel Of officers and men
in these districts, with some eighty
ships-destroyers, repair ships, con-
verified yachts, mine-sweepers anu
naval tugs. The shore establishment
is on the same extensive scale, with
oorodromes for balloons and airplaneS,
great stacks Of coal and mammoth
tanks for fuel oil.
Naval headquarters is In constant
wireless touch with the WHOLE range
of this naval activity, along the 3oo
miles of front and far out to sea,
where the conveys are steadily NOV
ing in and out.
It is huge work this big establish
ment is carrying on. On the strictly
naval side are the defensive ana OF
fensive observation-disclosures of Amerl-
can and other allied shipping across
the Atlantic, and offensive In the war
of determination being made against
enemy submarines.
Outside of the naval operations there
is the steady march of vast naVai
construction at all the ports along TINS
800 miles of sea front, repair plants
fuel stations, oil tanks, water works
and all the requirements of great
naval establishment which Is constant
ly expanding.

Only Quarter OF Population in Sores
After Two Years Occupation.
When Sercs;, in Greek Macedonia,
was occupied ny the Bulgarians in De-
cember, 1916, the inhabitants num-
bered $4,000. Since that time 5000 Of
these have died. 1000 have been de-
ported and 1000 men and boys have
been put to work on the construction
of roads, Today the population is be-
tween 5000 and 5000.
Bulgarian documents which have
been found in the Macedonian towns
show that large numbers of deaths
were due to the Indifference of the
Bulgarian authorities to the condition.
of the civilian population. Wholesale
deportations We're made and cruelties
inflicted which We're not justified by
the necessities of war. Not only We're
the military authorities involved in
this work, but the civil officers were
tyrannous toward the people.
Churches We're looted and private
houses We're stripped of their furni-
ture, which was placed in officers
quarters. The interment of bodies In
the cemeteries were made In hap
hazard way, and no inscriptions were
placed over the graves, so that surviv-
ing relatives do not know the resting
places Of their loved ones.

Herrinc's Safes, Considered Marvel.
Gus Years Acc, Would Be Laughed
1t in This Generation.

If a modern burglarsor safe crack.
er" could sac solne of the safes in
vented oy Slas Herring he would
probably have a good laugh. For
"modera" safe5lowcr must De a bit
of scientist with a large knowledge
of explosives; an cld-fashioned safe
would he easy for him to get into but,
in those days the Herring safes were
considered marveis and absolutely
theft and tireproof.
Herring was born in Shrewsbury,
VT. and bc%an h.s career as grocery
clerk. firing of this after some six
years, he went into the lottery bust
ness, saved $4,000 and started a
wholesale grocery concern In New
York city. A fire and a panic ruined
his business, so he obtained the agency
for the Salamander safes-so named,
probably, because they were able to
come through fire unhurt. He got the
right to manufacture them later and
kept on improving and improving them
each year. He once put $1,000 in the
drawer of one, sent it to the worlds
fair and offered the money to any one
who could get into the safe and get
it. No one got 1t.
But nowadays big banks and trust
companies would laugh ut these old
square safes. The burglar PROOF
safe today Is round like ball, and has
q door that screws in, leaving no
cracks for explosives. Even If any
were poured into the hinges, the eX'
plosion would only drive the door more
firmly into the casing of the safe.
Herring died in 1881.

SITTING FURNACE,
CRATE ASH
SAVES MUCH FUEL
U. S. Fuel Administration Urges
Reclamation of All Waste
to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands of tons OF coal can he
reclaimed and proportionate dollars
saved In fuel bills If the house
holders of the nation will adopt the
simple, homely method of sitting
their ashes. About five bucket
fuls Of coal are thrown away in the
ashes each week by the wasteful
householder. Each bucketful weighs
about nineteen pounds, and fresh nut
coal sold by the bucketful costs about
10 cents each. If this coal is reclaimed
by sitting the ashes, 1t would repre-.
sent a saving of 80 cents a week and
conserve just so much coal for the
dealer to supply other householders.
The United States Fuel Admnisra-
ton gives the following directions for
retaining coal from ashes:
How to slit Ashes.
Shake the sitter until all the dust.
like particles fail through. You will
then have left in your sitter mix
ture of black and white-cOvered pieces
of coal and probably few clinkers
and pieces of stone.
Pick out and throw away all stone.
Do not throw away clinkers unless
they are thoroughly burned. Coal
will often fuse In such manner that
the part In the center Is not burned.
Break clinkers apart, and II there Is
any black substance In them II Is
carbon, and they can be burned over
again.
White chunks generally contain q
large amount Of carbon, though their
covering might be soft and have the
appearance Of ashes. Do not throw
them away.
Coal thus recovered should be
spread on the ground and sprinklcd
with water. This will open the seams
In the coal, and when It Is placed in
the heater the fire will reach and ig-
mite the unused carbon.
1t Is better not to mix the coal thus
reclaimed with fresh coal. Keep it In
a separate pile.
Reclaimed coal should generally be
used on a red hot fire, although it can
also be used In banking fire at night
