SUGAR WASTED IN TEA AND
COFFEE MAY BE SAVED

The following bulletin, was among
the most forceful and effective bits of
conservation propaganda at the New
York food show last month. 1t was
put out by the National Sugar Rein
ing company, of New Jersey.
Save the waste.
"One hundred million cups coffee
used daily in United States.
Seventy million cups tea used daily
In United States.
One hundred and seventy million
cups tea and coffee.
IF even an average Of half a tea
spoonful of sugar per cup Ia left un-
dissolved at the bottom of cups of
tea and coffee, the waste would be
1.701.00 pounds of sugar daily
stir your sugar until IL dissolves'
It's estimated that one-third to one
half of all sugars used in homes is
used in tea and coffee. Think IL over
how is II in your homee Isn't there
chance for saving"

OCEAN VEN SUFFERS
SERIOUS Loss BY FIRE
Amusement Park--Hotel is But
Slightly Damaged.

Thousands of Richmonders regret
the DISASTROUS FIRE at Ocean View
early yesterday. For many years
Ocean View has been one of the ia
vorite summer resorts of Richmond
ers. and its many attraction have been
taken advantage Of by half the popu-
lation Of this city.
Unless the government comes to- the
relief OF Jake Wells and his asso-
ciates, who conducted the amuse-
ments features and the hotel at the
View, II Is hardly probable the place
will be rebuilt at this TINA The
scarcity Of material and workmen will
prove something Of an obstacle in the
way Of any rebuilding which may be
contemplated. although 1t 10 hoped
some way may be found by which the
attractive resort may be raised from
its ashes.
The Ore started In a kitchen and in
q very short time the entire park was
in flames. The Ocean View hotel.
crowded with guests, caught from n.y.
ing brands several times, but was
saved through heroic efforts of the
guests and others who formed a
bucket brigade.
The loss is estimated at $150.o00.
The park IL controlled by the Wells
Amusement corporation.

George Washington; one of the avia-
tors ducked under the Brooklyn

RED CROSS NOTES.

At meeting of Branch No. 4, A.
R. c. onsMonday, December 0, Mrs.
Z. Healey was unanimously elected
chairman. The members who have
chosen this leader feel satisfied that
they have made an excellent choice
and hope that the good work of the
Branch will continue and that Algiers
will hold its high standard of efficiency
under the new chairman.
All departments working as separate
parts of one grand unit have establish
ed an enviable record among city
chapters. 1t seems, however that in
terest is beginning to lag, especially
in the Surgical Dressing class, all of
whose work must be done on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday afternoon
at headquarters. Miss H. Herbert cap
tain, and her able lieutenant, Mrs. w.
Van Hesse are DOING all in their
power to hold the class together, by
giving undivided time and untiring
efforts to the work for the suffering
boys in Europe.
AS work will close to-day until
after the holidays, it is hoped that
a large force will report on the first
Tuesday. of Year, 1919.
During the last week the total of
our emergency call for STA pads was
brought up to 1880 which is still far
from the 1000 goal.
Reports from the Hospital Garments
department show that the allotment is
finished. Many workers of this de-
partment are ready and willing to as
sist the Surgical Dressing class,
whose allotment is so large.
The knitting department reports
slow work in sweater making. With
Christmas so near, women and girls
are busy and give many excuses. But
Christmas brings holidays and it is
expected that our school girl experts
will spend some of their leisure
hours in knitting, this being ample
time to make one of the trench
sweaters. "All's well that ends well, ("
and lets not fail at the end, as every
thing has been well.
Emblems for canteen uniforms have
been received. All ladies who took
applications with a desire of becom-
