Fruits Save Suqer.

All ripe fruits contain sugar. The
amount varies from about three ounces
or one-fifth cupful per pound in fresh
figs and plums to about one-half ounce
per pound in watermelon.
II the water is driven off from fruits,
as in the drying process. the sugar
becomes far more prominent than it
is in fresh fruits. Dried fruits, there
fore, taste far sweeter than fresh ones
and are for this reason often classed
among the sweets. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that sugar is
present in all fresh fruits, even in the
most acid ones, and that those persons
who wish to do SO can economic on

MUSH AND MILK.

What has become Of the old
time bowl of cornmeal mush and
milk? 1t Is an American dish,
cheap, nourishing and palatable.
The older generation loved it;
and for economical, sentimental
and patrit tic reasons we should
now go back to il and take all
America with us. Mush and
milk furnishes a balanced ra-
ton, We, contains no wheat, no
meat, no sugar. 1t is a whole
meal In itself. and while the war
lasts 1t should be used more
largely in this country. Its
larger use here will release other
and more concentrated foods for
our armies and the armies OF the
allies. We are producing an
abundance of food; we will save
it for our boys across the water;
and food will help to win the
war. The Austrians, Bulgari-
ans, Turks and Germans are be-
ginning to see this, and the kali
ser also believes and trembles.

there silent, her eyes upon the hands
In her lap. Once or twice she lifted
them swiftly to his face, and lowered
them instantly again. Only he noticed
when they were raised, that they were
unusually deep, and that something lay
within shining brightly, like the reflec-
ton of star in a clear dark pool Of
water.

Lark, and then she disappeared.
The professor turned away from the
hospitable door very much depressed.
He shook his head impatiently and
thrust his hands deep into his pockets
like a troubled boy. Halfway down
the board walk he stopped, and
smiled. Carol was standing among the
rose bushes, tall and slim in the cloudy
moonlight, waiting for INN. She held
out her hand with a friendly smile.

Plenty of Good Milk to Take Away

Palatable.

Try Our Mush Recipes Until knack Of
Cooking Just Long Enough Has
Been Discovered - Dried
Fruits Add Variety.

Mush and milk for breakfast or
lunch makes simple dish fit for a
king-but like all other simple dishes
1t must be made just right or the king
won't like it. The secret of serving
cornmeal this way lies in plenty of
milk and not too much mush. In the
first place see that the mush is not
too thick-try out your recipes until
you find the knack of cooking 1t just
long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick
mush. Then serve moderate portions
with a generous amount of milk or
cream on top-and have plenty more
in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins,
dates, figs and other dried fruits give
variety to the dish and please the chill
dren. They sweeten the mush and
save sugar.
The most common way Of prepar-
ing mush is to allow the water to
come to the boiling point and to add
the meal slowly, stirring constantly.
Thu, objection to this method is that
thet. Is considerable danger that the
mush will become lumpy and often
times 1t Is inconvenient and unpleas-
ant to stand over hot stove and stir
the mixture sufficiently to make 1t
smooth. A better method, therefore,
is the following:
Put the cornmeal, cold water and
salt together in the top of double
boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put
the top Of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the mush to
heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or
longer, If convenient. Many people
cook it as long as four hours. Just
before serving remove the top of the
double boiler from the lower part and
boil the mush for two or three min
utes. In boiling 1t at this time there
is no danger that It will lump.

minutes. Put the upper part of the
boiler into the lower part and cook
the mush half an hour and as much
longer as convenient. Long cooking
improves the taste and probably adds
to the thoroughness with which the
mush is digested.
