GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
IL sugar necessary in the diet7

IL sugar necessary in the diet7
Neither cane nor beet sugar Is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may ordi-
narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre-
served and dried fruits.
What are the general sugar saving rules7
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing Of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups.
Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them as an energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need.
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities.
known to everyone7
Two pounds per month means about 8 ounces per
week., or a little more than l ounce q day. This daily
ration is q trihe more than 2 tablespoons level full.
1t should be remembered that this. is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsotv er-for table
use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or
fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc.

planned by a nnancier close to the Du-

duced. Bears In this stock now are

Unification of Telephone Cos.

Plans OF the Government to unite
all tho country's telephone systems into
one central organization were accepted
as favorable to American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. whose stock
advanced vigorously on hurried short
covering. The declaration Of the regu-
lar quarterly dividend was also a fac
tor. but the unification OF the telephone
companies was considered more impor-
tant One instance which came to
bankers attention was that OF a COM
pany controlling several minor teie-
phone concerns on the Pacific coast
which were purchased from the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Company
q few years ago under court decree.

DRIVE FOR LARGER
SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Spartnburg, S. c., March r.
A great drive for larger and more
efficient Sunday Schools is being
promoted throughout the State dur
ing the month Of March, and will
reach with its helpful influence
more than half Of the, Sunday
Schools of South Carolina, accord
ing to a. statement here today from
R. D. Webb, General Secretary of
the South Carolina Sunday School
Association: The plan is to hold a
convention in every district in every
county lin the State in March. This
will mean that at least 200 conven-
lions will be held in one month.
According to reports received at
State Headquarters, twenty-four
counties have definitely planned to
hold more than 100 district con-
ventions in March. It is believed
that the plan will be carried out in
every county, and that this will be
the greatest drive for efficiency ever
undertaken by the State Association
It is estimated that at least 1000
different Sunday School workers will
be used on the programs and that
more than half of the schools will
be reached with helpful suggestions
ON modern methods Of Sunday
School work. These conventions will
be attended by workers Of all de-
nominations, and are being promot-
ed by the six or eight hundred Of
ficers of the State Interdenomina-
tional Sunday School Association
and it's auxiliaries. At all of these
meetings plans will be inaugurated
for securing a large delegation to
attend the State Convention in

The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1918-03-15

T. Alfred Fleming, state fire
marshal of Ohio has issued these
fire rules for farmers:
Store no grain in barns.
See that barn and important huild-
ings have standard lightning rods;
that the rods are properly grounded,
and there is no escape Of. the cleo
trio fluid to wire fences.
1t costs SO a year to feed one rat.
Rats love the parafined ends Of
matches. One match will consume a
whole seasons crops.
Clean and ventilate the barn.
Cleanliness is fires most potent foe.
Proper ventilation makes for healthy
stock and reduces the chances of
spontaneous combustion.
Build farm buildings so that one
fire will not destroy all. Build with
reference to the direction of the
prevailing wind.
The barn is not a catch-all for
farm junk. Rubbish is u%nsanitary,
fire breeder, and takes up room
needed for other things.
Use electric lights or electric lam
terms. The ~old-fashioned oil Ian
tern is a costly continuance in the
end!
Curled up shingles, badly hung
doors, gaping windows and warped
siding simply invite entrance to the:
vagrant spark.
The farm barn is a poor place to
house the farm hand and his PIPE!
Matches in old clothes hung on
the harness pegs are invitations to
fire.
An automobile or tractor has no
place in the farm barn. Build a
garage!
Concrete ~cisterns conserve the
rainfall from barn roofs against a
dry time and supply fire fighting
agents.
Own, too, ladders that will reach
the roof of the highest building in
your vicinity.
Common baking soda, 4 ounces
to a gallon Of water, makes a splen-
did fire extinguisher.
Four ounces of salt to a gallon
of water will prevent fire barrels
from freezing in the temperate
zone. If it gets colder, add more
salt.
| The ak and the fire bucket should
always be in their proper place.
Keep the pump away from the
barn. A fire will often put the water
supply out of commission. A frozen
pump mean a total fire loss.
- Be careful of grass, woods, rub
bish and bon fires.
Do not allow children to play with
matches or fire. Keep matches in
a tin box in ONE place. Be sure
the match is out before throwing it
away.
Carrying matches, candle or lamps
into clothes closets make for a burn
ed house.
Examine all lues, chimneys and
hue openings frequently.
Do not stop up flue holes with
paper or rags. Allow no cobwebs or
trash in the attic.
Keep the gasoline car out of the
house, and see that it is painted
RED. Paint the coal oil can WHITE
and label it "COAL OIL"

4, In Tommy's eyes a lance corporal Is
one degree below a private. In the
corporal's eyes he Is one degree above
q general.
He ordered me to 60 with him and
help him draw the next days ratons,
also told me to take my waterproof
: Every evening, from each platoon or
machins-gun section, q lance corporal
and private 90 to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the Quartermaster
sergeant 10 called, receives daily from
the orderly room Captains of1cs) a
slip showing the number Of men en-
titled to r~at1ons, 80 there Is no chance
Of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
quarter" and the platoon noncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the quarter" got his Job because
he was a burglar in civil life.
Then I spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
tiers batman dumped the rations on It
The corporal. was smoking a flag. I
carried the rations back to the billet.
The corporal vas still smoking q fag.
How I envied him. But when the issue
commenced my envy died, and I real
lied that the first requisite Of a non
commissioned officer on active service
is diplomacy. There were 10 men In
our section, and they soon formed a
semicircle around us after the corporal
had called out, "Rations up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given a slip to the corporal on which
was written, a list Of the rations. Sit
ting on the floor, using q wooden box
as q table, the issue commenced. On
the left Of the corporal the raHons
were piled. They consisted of the fol-
lowing:
Six loaves Of fresh bread, each loaf
of a different size, perhaps one out Of
the six being as fiat as a pancake, the
result Of an army service corps man
placing a box Of bully beef on it dur
ing transportation.
! Three tins Of jam, one apple and the
other two plum.
Seventeen Bermuda onions, all Off
ferent sizes.
A piece of cheese Ia the shape of a
wedge.
: Two one-pound tins Of butter.
A handful Of raisins.
A Tin Of biscuits, or as Tommy calls
them 'jaw breakers"
A bottle Of mustard pickles.
The "bully beef" spuds, condensed
milk, fresh meat, bacon and "Macono-
chic ~rations" "a can filed with meat,
vegetables and greasy water), had been
turned over to the company cook to
make q stew for next days dinner. BE
also received the tea, sugar, salt, pep
per and flour.
Scratching his head, the corporal
studied the slip issued to him by the
quarter. Then in a slow, mystihed
voice he read out, mo. 1 section, 10
men. Bread, loaves, six" BE looked
puzzled and soliloquized In q musing
voice:
ask 1oaves, nineteen men. Let's see,
that's three In q loaf for fifteen men
well, to make It even, four Of you'll
have to muck In on enc loaf"
. The four that got stuck made q howl.
but to no avail. The bread was dished
out. Pretty soon from a far corner Of
the billet, three indignant Tommies ae-
costed the corporal with:
"What do you call this, q loaf Of
.bread2 Looks more like q sniping
plate" -
