SERVING ICED BEVERAGES
With the Minimum of Sugar for Patrio tism. and the
Minimum of Ice for Economy. You Can
Still Get Good Results.

WE Americans are noted the world
w over for drinking unwholesome
Iced beverages IN summer. But
We drink them year after year. genera
ton after generation. and We live 70
tell the tale.
Now the fact that ice is high IN price
may make us bit more careful OF
using it this summer than usual. There
is tile chance that the warnings OF
physicians would have as great effect
And in view OF the high price of ice. We
would do well to make iced tea or lem
onade or fruit punch or any other Iced
beverage hours before 1t is needed and

But If YOU wish 10 indulge in one

dozens and dozens worth getting. The
only difficult thing is to decide on taxi

with compartments around the edge to

for the pitcher. Sometimes. instead of
glasses, thin porcelain goblets-like the
china holders for hot chocolate in the
drug store-are sold in these sets
They are decorated, cottage fashion
with flowers, and the big pitcher
matches them.
This summer when sugar is taboo
We cannot waste much Of our three
quarters of a pound-a cup and halt
weekly on iced drinks. Most of us
need that much for coffee and tea and
desserts But we can effect wonders
by using fruit for sweetening all sorts
of iced beverages, excepting tea and
coffee. And If we use sliced orange in
stead of sliced lemon in tea we have
helped to sweeten that too.
Moreover, 1t is quite possible to use

The honey flavor Ia really delicious. Y
the fruits are carefully blended And
by using only fruit and honey we are
having a delicious feast without in
fringing on the food laws our con

requests OF the Food Administration.
Honey and grape fruit combine ad-
mirably. so IL you can get grape fruit

Very often there is too much juice on

" VEN our flower gardens are af-
fected by the war. and though
the country that does most to
contribute TO the brilliancy OF our
flower beds is somehow keeping out OF
the great struggle we cannot hope TO
have any imported bulbs-or at most
very few-from Holland this year
From Holland come our best tulips and
some other varieties of spring bloom
Ing bulbs that we usually plant in the
autumn. For some reason we have not
been able 10 get such good results with
home bred bulbs thus far, and we must
wait patiently till after the war before
renewing our supply Of some of these
choice plants.
But now is the time 10 begin 70 think
about what bulbs you can get from
home production. The first OF Sep
tember Iris plants are dormant IN most
parts Of the country and it is then that
nurserymen send Us such bulbs as we
order They are then planted for next
springs blooming.
There Is quite q number Of hardy
lilies that can be had IN spite Of war
conditions, but these should not be
planted for about two months. How
ever now is the tune 70 pian your
borders and beds for next spring and
to get the order sheets placed with your
florist Among the attractive lilies Of
this sort are the Canadian lily. and
several sturdy lilies from China and
Japan. There Is one new lily that has
recently come from China that should
be planted this autumn. and that
blooms very freely in your garden by
the first of July. 1t has been predicted
that this lily will be the Easter lily Of
the future, so superb is it's blossom,
painted with the faintest touch Of pink
and canary yellow. There are Tiger
lilies a-plenty to be had and grand
mothers favorite that she called
Turks Cap Lilly.

TO A MOTHER

: The following thoughts originated
from the reading of an address under
this title published anonymously in
the Youths Companion:
1t is hard, perhaps impossible, to
say anything that will help you to
forget your loss or that can dull the
sense Of emptiness in your heart for
the boy who Is gone.
That consolation is beyond the pow
er of words to bestow, but it will
come to you Of itself, unsought and
unexpected-a light from the glory Of
the great cause that has taken him.
You are his mother, and therefore
have had mothers dream for your
son. You taught him to be honest
with himself, as with others. You set
his feet in the difficult path Of cour-
age and helped him to walk in II.
You encouraged him to think little
of himself, but much of others. and
to hate injustice and cruelty. As the
years have passed you had the su.
preme happiness of seeing your as
pirations take form and express them
selves in your sons character, and Of
knowing that 1t is your dreams,
guidance and teachings that have
made him what he is.
When the call came he heard It
and was ready. He went in the pur-
ity of his youth, with his vision un-
dimmed and his heart on fire with no
BILE passion. So for you, he will al
ways remain. 1t is your high priv
ilege and comfort to remember, that
having made him worthy, you also
gave him the great opportunity that
he took so gladly, and by your sac
riflce set the seal Of success on both
your lives.
Your reward is the peace in your
heart that forevermore at Is we'll
with your child"
