fully without sugar, the United States Department of Agriculture suggess.
 Fruits canned without sugar are es- pecially good in salads. desserts, pie filings, ices and in fruit punches. They can also be made into jams and marmalades when sugar is obtainabie. Fruit juices take no sugar and their uses are just as varied during the win ter season as are the fruits put up unsweetened. These fruit juices are also available for jelly at future time when sugar is more plentiful. Vegetables need no sugar. and plenty of canned vegetables are always ac- ceptable during the winter months
 Fruit and vegetables may be high and sugar scarce. but the margin or difference in price between the home canned and the commercially canned product is likely to be as great as when both fresh fruit and vegetable and canned goods were lower in price The wise are still practicing home canning, sugar or no sugar

Use STRANGE CURES
Tobacco Quid Montenegrins'
Remedy for Wound.
Charms for iiis Lose Ground When
Red Cross Aids Suffering
Mountaineers.

Niegosh. Montenegro American
physicians doing relief work in Monte
negro tell of some curious methods Of
treatment employed by the inhabitants
OF this little mountain country. When
a Montenegrin Is wounded the first
thought of the natives is to apply
chewing tobacco, horsehair or fresh
rabbit skin with the hair facing inside.
Common ink Is considered a sovereign
remedy for burns To stop bleeding
sores or wounds cobwebs are used.
When person is bitten by dog, the
favorite remedy is to pull off the ami
mails ear and rub the wound with 1t.
The patron saint of Montenegro is
Saint Vascilla, whose shrine is situat-
ed on the summit of a mountain be-
tween PodgoritZa and Nikisic. Every
week thousands of devout Montene-
grins come to this mountain shrine
seeking cure for their Ills.
But since the arrival Of the Ameri-
can physicians the pilgrimages to the
ancient shrine have not been so numer-
GUS. For the natives have found that
their ills can be cured much nearer
home and with greater certainty at any
Of the numerous Red Cross dispen-
saries and clinics. The inhabitants
come from the remotest mountain re-
gions. They are carried in all sorts
Of conveyances. wheelbarrows. donkey
carts. buffalo wagons or on horseback.
In one case an old woman. suffering
with scarlet fever, was brought to the
Red Cross hospital ut Niegosh in an
iron soup pot. 1t required four days
to get her ever the many mountain
ranges.
In another instance q farmer carried
his typhus-afiiicted wife on his back
distance Of IS miles and at the end Of
the journey fell exhausted on the steps
Of the Red Cross hospital. He was re-
warded for his labors, however, four
weeks later by the complete recovery
Of his wife.

HENS FALL FOR NEW SCHEME

Lafayette. Ind.-Purdue university's
experiment In increased egg produc-
ton here through the use of electric
lights in poultry pens is proving
success, according to Prof. A. G. Phil
lips, who has charge Of the work. He
says that the hens In the coops that
have electric lights are laying more
eggs than the hens In unlighted coops.
In the coops with lights the hens
continue scratching and hunting for
food, 1t is said. whereas in the other
pens the hens hunt their roosts as
soon as darkness comes. With the
additional amount Of food and exer-
else the hens in the lighted pens be-
come better egg producers. The cleo
trio lights are kept lighted until ten
o'clock each night. giving the hens
about FIVE and half hours overtime
work each day.
Then hens have no unions that we
know Of, so there is no objection to the
longer working day." said Professor
Phillips.
