CONSERVE SUGAR SUPPLIES

The distribution and consumption
of sugar during the summer is to BE-
carefully policed by the United States
Food Administration. There must be
no waste. No matter what the Cuban
or more remote sugar crop is, the sup
ply of ships is insufficient TO get II
here in these war days.
The use Of sugar for the canning
and preserving of fruits is food say.
ing. 1t not only saves the perishable
fruits and vegetables at the time OF
their greatest abundance but the
canned product will take the place of
other foods next winter. Therefore
housewives are urged to preserve and
can as much as usual, but they will
be required to sign certificates at their
local dealers declaring that the ex.
ira sugar is for canning purposes ex-
clusively.
In order further to protect the sup
ply for household canning and pre-
serving. the manufacturers of all less.
essential food stuffs are to be put on
a strict sugar ration. These are to
be allowed only so per cent of their
normal requirements. Included in this
class are makers of confectionery and
soft drinks.
Manufacturers of jam, jelly and pre-
serves, on the other hand, will be per-
mitted, along with preserves and
packers of vegetables, catsup and chilli
sauce and fruits to buy sugar enough
to meet their full requirements.
Absolutely no sugar will be allowed
to manufacturers of non-edible pro-
ducts.
With the government behind them
to protect their supply Of sugar for
legitimate uses, the country's house.
wives are asked to show their loyalty
to that government in its effort to
secure the sugar needed by the Allies
while protecting u own people. They
are asked to use sugar wisely and not
too freely. They are asked to meas
ure the sugar carefully, to use enough
to insure the keeping Of their fruits
and vegetables, but not to waste a
grain of it.

MEAT AND BREAD IN SOY BEAN

What would you think of a slice
of bread that has the same food value
as a beefsteak sandwich?
Ii isn't a dream nor an ~exaggera-
ton. 1t is a fact supported by spec.
ialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is based on
chemical analyses Of and experiments
with soy-bean -four, a new" product
that is expected to pinch HIT for
wheat, and not only do that, but to
work in meats place as well. The
"high-powered bread that has the
scientific resemblage to a beefsteak
sandwich does not even use all of the
voltage of the soy-bean -four. This
bread had been made from a mixture
of 30 per cent soy-bean -four and 20
per cent wheat -four. 1t is extremely
high in protein element and is really
a substitute for protein foods such
as meat and cheese.-Government

newspapers. When he read that Jas.
per Jackowski of Division street had
lost both legs in an accident at the
rolling mill, rendering a wife and two
children destitute, he would write a
few lines to Mrs. Jackowski saying
that he had read the dreadful news,
and wished that he were a man of
means so that he might help them.
Anyhow, he felt for them and hoped
that relief would come to them. Usual.
ly he recommended some charitable
organization where he was sure they
would find assistance. Through the
years he gradually built up the belief
among common people that he was a
good, kind man with a big gentle
heart. And when election time came
around they did the rest.

he was half honest, half crook, half

with no idea of cashing in on it
and later developed it into a business.
Perhaps the total effect of his kind

a hypocrite l should want a couple

his pen vigorously and nobody could

agree to call him a bad man. He was
human at least. He could hear and
he could talk. which is more than some
folks can do. If you gave him a cigar,
he thanked you. If you told him your
wife's rheumatism was better, he
smiled. If you showed him your sore
thumb, he was sympathetic. At all
times he was expressive and respon-
sive-not speechless. In other words,
he could submerge his own ego-get
it clear out of sight once in a while
and give the other fellow a chance to
talk about his troubles and his joys.
No wonder he got the votes. If he
run a store he would have had a good
business. If he had opened a hotel
his house would have been full. If he
had operated a bank he would have
got deposits. You couldn't have kept
him down, because he had human

in part no doubt because of the large
amount of labor involved in prepar-
ing them. The seeds are removed
from the c%urrants by a method which
multiplies the fruit very slightly; the
fruit is then preserved in honey or
sugar syrup. Those who wish to take
the time TO preserve currants in this
way will find that a convenient way
TO remove the seeds is to cut a smal
slit in the side Of each currant and
remov the seeds by means Of a
needle. After this is done, weigh the
currants and take an equal weight of
honey. Bring the honey to the boil
ing point, add the c~urrants. and al
low them to cook at the boiling point
for two or three minutes, or until the
skins are tender. being careful not to
let the mixture boil violently, because
this is likely to destroy the shape of
the fruit. If the currants are so Juicy
as to liquefy the honey too much,
they may be removed and the syrup
reduced to the desired consistency,
after which the currants may be re-
placed. 1t is possible, of course, to
preserve currants in honey according
to the same recipe without the remoy-
al of the seeds. but the preserve thus
obtained is not nearly so delicate as
when the seeds are removed.

One of the first questions facing the

Before giving the answer let us ask
ourselves, as the saving of human

If it is. then food conservation is
worth while; for the program of the

way to save the lives Of millions of
people in Europe, who might other
wise die of starvation.
