Use Syrup in Canning.

Sugar in canning does not aid in
keeping fruit although it does improve
its favor. While the State Food Ad-
ministration has granted 25 lbs. at a.
time to home Gamers according to
the certificate system. it should be re-
membered that commercial syrup can
take the place of part or the entire
amount of sugar in preserving.
In place of 1/3 cup of sugar and 2/3
of water, reverse and use 2/3 cup OF
syrup and 1/3 cup of water in making
tMe syrup in which fruits are canned

SEEK FOOD ECONOMY
IN FOOD EXHIBITS

How to teach the newer ways of
preparing foods without wasting food
through exhibits or even without ex-
hibits entirely is the problem the
Food Administration is asking to have
solved. The county fairs are now ar
ranging their premium lists, and any
suggestions for teaching without the
use of exhibits will be gladly received
now. In many of the counties, the
food demonstration is sold at auction
and the proceeds given to the Red
Cross. This serves a threefold pur-
pose: the food exhibited should ocn-
vince the people that the products are
desirable; the food is not wasted but is
used legitimately in feeding people; it
furnishes money for the Red Cross.

"It's a splendid idea" said Prince
Sleet. II can hardly wait to begin
marching
"Oh," said old King Snow, must we
march? / don't know that I'm very
good at marching fall most beauti-
fully and l dance about very often
before l fall. But as for marching
well, I'm not quite so sure" And he
looked rather sad.
Cheer up, cheer up" said the Storm
King. "Old North Wind doesn't care
| If we don't keep STEP"
Il should say not" laughed the
North Wind, and his laugh was so cold
that they all wanted to start right
away They felt like exercising and
blowing and showing.
Prince Sleet was talking with the
King of the Clouds and the Hail King
Wen give them good time,'' they
all said. YES, we'll come down to-
gether, rain and hail and sleet. Oh.
1t will be gorgeous storm !"
"We're all ready. then, ehg' asked
old Mr.. North Wind once more.
Were all ready" they said. And
the earth people shivered, sat closer
60 the fires, and the ones who were
outside drew their collars and furs
tighter.
''Then--GO!" said old Mr. North
Wind. And the storm parade began.
IN it were the Storm King, King Hail.
old King Snow, Prince Sleet, the King
| OF the Clouds, his army Of RaindrOps
the Snowflake children, the Winter
Rreezes and old Mr. North Wind
marched ahead carrying big stick
made out of icicles which he threw up
in the air and looked exactly like d
drum-major.
OF course the people on the earth
could not see him, but they could feel
him! Oh, how cold it was And what
terrific storm
The city people said that they would
not be able to get about and that cars
| and traffic of all sorts would be de-
! layed.
But the strangest thing of all was
| the way the storm acted. 1t began at
one end and went straight through the
city but only a section at time. When
it had finished stOrming In one sec
ton 1t went on down little further
TO another, while all the parts around
were fine and clear.
The evening newspapers In the city
said that the storm was 'freakiSh, 4
and one little girl who was riding in
a motorcar with her mother said that
they seemed to keep pace. with the
storm straight down through the city.
But they managed to escape the very
end of it which was the worst of all.
Nov for a good wind-up," said old
King Snow as he blew.
That's good expression said old
Mr.. North Wind. Tor even though he
was the drum-major of the storm the
others made suggestions as to how the
storm could be made worse.
And they all ended up by blowing,
showing, sleeting, hailing, raining and
freezing harder than ever.
"Oh, it was a gorgeous parade" said
old Mr.. North Wind. 1--WE moved right
along just like regular parade but
we had the streets almost to ourselves
which is quite different from regular
parade. and extremely superior"

these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish Influenza Is
identical with the epidemics of infiuen-
IA of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics OF the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
OF influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
JliSed world. Three years later there
was another fiare-up OF the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
~ over the United States.
although the present epidemic iG
called Spanish Influenza there IL no
reason to believe that It originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at

mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and

which a single case of Spanish infiu-

Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely I'm Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case of Or6i-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.

with this comes q fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative

"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con

may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of cold may not be marked; never
