SUGAR BEET SYRUP
GOODSUGAR SUBSTITUTE

Corvallis. Ore. May Save
sugar by using sugar beet sirup and
make the sirup yourself. Is the pos
sibilIty held out to Oregon citizens
by their college chemist, r. II. Rob
inson.
Residents OF the Pacific coast re-
gions do not yet feel the suga-
shortage now bearing hard on many
parts OF the United States as wcll as
on the soldiers Of America and Its
allies. But unless the supply OF
sweeting can be greatly increased
the condition is expected to become
serious here.
Sirup or raw sugar can be pre-
pared in the home by growing few
bushels Of sugar beets in the home
garden or field and making them
up. As made heretofore from Ore
gon-grown beets the sirup had a
strong beety flavor that rendered II
unfit for table use. This can be
overcome by the following method
Scrub the beets until perfectly
clean. Cut of the crown just un-
der the lowest leaf scar. for the part
above contains the salts that impart
the bad flavor. Slice very thin and
soak for an hour or more in water
near the boiling temperature. Drain
of the water and evaporate by heat.
ing until the desired thickness. Scum
will rise and should be dipped on
to keep the flavor good. The sriuI
will be good and wholesome for table
use. t
II the evaporation is carried still
further dark colored sugar will
settle out, good for cooking.
Write Prof. Robinson for bulletini
and other information in the making
Of sugar beet sirup.

This homelike, appetizing quality
Of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette Is
largely due to the fact that the Burley

THE SPORTING SPIRIT


In Brand whitlock's articles on
Belgium. in Everybody's magazine,
there is an illuminating comment
airy Of sports and their Influence on
character.
almost as much has been said OF
German discipline as OF German or
ganization.r writes Mr.. whitlock.
There is, OF course. much OF both
in Germany. but the discipline Is
mostly of the military kind. There
seems to be little self-discipllne.
There are no sports in Germany.
and the sense OF fair play is not de-
veloped; the idea of playing the
game does not exist. II is said that
German schoolboys see nothing but
of the way in Switching in inform
ing. and are encouraged to do So"
Doesn't that explain numberless
things that we haven't been able to
understand in the conduct OF the
Germans during this war? They have
no sports. Their young men do not
play the vigorous give-and-take
games that develop strength OF mind
and character along with strength OF
body. There are no national sports
like baseball or football There Is
scarcely any tennis. There are no
college track meets. There Is little
athletic competition Of any sort. In
stead Of sports, they drink beer and
sing, or take walks. Those pastimes
may be well enough in their way,
but they don't develop the sense OF
fair play that has become Instructive
with the two great outdoor-sport ma.
tions, the British and the Americans
We and our British friends have
been accused OF being sport-crazy
The Germans particularly have criti'
cized us for wasting so much time
on athletic games, when we might
be training our minds. We ma,
have overdone II. but the results
speak for themselves. In the su
preme game Of war. the sporting ma
tions fight clean. II Is the natior
without sports that has done th'
"dirty fighting" and set the stand
ard Of this war at It's lowest mari
since Europe FIRST rose above shee
savagery.
