WISE H~OUSEKEEPERS
TO USE LESS SUGAR
Usual Amount of Canning of
Fruits and Vegetables.
Abundant Supply Of Sugar Is Predict
ed for Next Winter-High Prices
Have Encouraged Increased
Planting Of Cane.

1t will be wisdom on the part of
housekeepers to can the usual amount
of fruit and vegetables this year,
even if part or all Of the fruit must
be canned without sugar, according 10
a statement issued by the United
States department of agriculture.
From all present indications, sugar
will be more abundant e winter,
when the fruit will be used on the
table, the department says. There will
apparently be an increased acreage of
both cane and beet sugar this year in
the United States, Cuba and in other
countries in the northern hemisphere.
The rise in the price of sugar has en-
couraged increased paintings of cane
and beets.
In spite of a world shortage of sugar
and a decrease of 400, 10000 pounds
In domestic production, there has been
used or boarded during the current
year In the United States 10 per cent
more sugar than in former years. In
fact, a greater supply of sugar than
ever before has been handled in this
country during the past few months
with net imports rs per cent, or over
1000, 1000, 1000 pounds. greater than in
any previous period. 1t is obvious,
therefore, that there has been no ac-
tual sugar shortage here this year.
The difficulties encountered have
arisen from the inability Of the con-
sumner to secure his share of the sup
ply. Unless enormously increased
amounts have been consumed, the
trouble must be laid to boarding and
II is very evident that large quantities
are being held for future use both bV
housewives and commercial concerns.
During the past 30 years the con-
sumption of sugar In the United States
has steadily increased, at an average
annual rate of one pound per year, I'M
til in the last few years the average
yearly per capita consumption for all
purposes Is between So and so pounds.
This compares with a per capita con
sumption of $50 pounds in 1899. The
increased consumption of sugar by the
soft drink. candy and ice-cream indus
tries during recent years has helped
raise the total average, but TO what
extent is not known.

BEAUTY CHATS

EPSON salt bath. This requires about
half n pound of the salts dissolved in
the bathtub the patient lies fiat in
the tub, with just enough water to
cover the body, and soaks there till
the heat has left the water.
Sulphur baths are beneficial to the
health also, and are beautitlers as
well. Many a sanitarium has made
its reputation upon tbem-and they
may be taken at home, if one has the
time and patience. In the simplest
form, they consist of ~dissolving flowers

more such ingredients and mix with

in the world to walk down the crooked
street, to see the stranger smiling
cross the hollyhocks when tea was

over the dark trees.
Now they sat on the white steps and
talked. Mr.. Jarvis never said very
much. hut he understood. Lueta knew
that. Sometimes she told him her
dreams and hopes and more often they
watched the white shadows steal
across the garden while the freflies
lit tiny torches against the night.
There was a long silence, and then
Laeta felt her hand was caught
tightly.
"Laeta, | love you !"
NO. Laeta answered gravely. This
isn't love. 1t cant be. OF course
we are friends. only friends, be-

"Because?" he repeated.

ily: 81 thought perhaps know have
nothing to offer you now-"
She heard his crutch tap down the
garden path. She heard the gate creak
as it swung behind him. Then there
was silence in the garden.
II couldn't love him" Laeta told her
self over and over again. Il like
him, but he is not brnve-just kind"
But Laeta found the evenings had
suddenly grown very long and lonely.
Across the high work bench Mr.. Jar
Wis smiled ut her in his old gay way,
but when dusk had fallen he did not
walk with her down the twisted, mar
row street. nor did he stand and talk
with her across the white gate.

simply crazy to meet him-I hear
he's girl shy" their voices trailed Off
and Laeta suddenly knew what she had
done.
Tom Jarvis, her stranger, the great
ace, and she had told him he was not
brave enough!
She sat there very quietly sunk in
despair, while the waves Tapped
against the rocks, sat there until she
heard the sharp sound of a tap-tap
across the shelving rocks.
Laeta lifted a radiant face to Tom
Jarvis. Can you forgive me?' she
asked.
Then she saw his slow, clarifying
smile.

USE CARE IN WEAVING BABY
II Should Never Be Done for Con-
venience Of Mother and Never
Without Doctors Advice.

CBy U. S. Public Health service.)
The baby should usually be COM
pletely weaned at the end of the first
year. Up to this time breast milk
should be given to the baby as long
as 1t thrlves. 1t is better, when pos
sible, to continue nursing through the
summer and to wear in the fall, but
If the year has not been completed in
the spring, it is better to wean In the
summer than in the spring.
Do not wean the baby suddenly IL
should be done gradually by replacing
one breast feeding at a time with a
bottle feeding. Several weeks are re-
Quired for weaning3.
1t is dangerous to wean a young
baby. 1t should not be done for the
convenience of the mother and should
neve be done without the advice of
a physician.

is to choose which one it shall be-"

Of, Mr.. Gobbler." said little Brown
Hen, who had listened quietly all the
time, land that is, Who is to catch Mr..
