Burgomeister Stops Building Because
II Encroaches on the Pub
lie Highway.

Doom, Holland.--The burgomcister
of Doom has halted, at least tempo
rarily, the erection Of high fence
along the roadside about the house of
Doom, the future residence Of the
former German emperor. There is no
wall about the estate, such as at the
Bentinck castle at Amerongen, the
present home of William Hohenzol-
lern.
1t was found, however, that the
fence encroached on a public highway
and, for this reason, the burgomeister
orders its construction stopped.
The former monarch is expected to
take up his residence here in Febru-
airy. The work of remodeling is well
under way. as the house has been va
Gated by the Baroness van Heemstra
de Beaufort, its former owner.

EXPECT U. S. STUDENTS
French Universities Look for In
fIux of Americans.
University Union Preparing to Re-
eeive and Advise Seekers After
knowledge.

Paris.-Next year is likely to see
great influx of American students to
French universities, in the opinion of
ii. ). Krans, secretary of the Amer
lean university union in France.
Mr.. Krans' new Paris headquarters
facing the Luxembourg gardens, are
being fitted up to receive and advise
seekers, after knowledge from over
seas.
Founded shortly after Americas en-
trance In the war, by fifteen of the
leading American universities and col
leges, the union now has thirty-three
American-learned institutions on it's
membership list, including Harvard
Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins
Princeton and other leading universe
ties and colleges throughout the
United States.
Paris is destined to become the
brain of the world" said Mr.. Krans to
a correspondent of the Associated
Press. German universities will be
largely avoided by Americans. DOgged
determination was shown by one
young New York student who arrived
here with the problem how to board
and live on g francs a day.
Through the medium of the union,
French landlady gave him a small
room for francs day. The young
man cooks his own meals, and is pass
ing rich on francs a day."
French teachers and students are
constant and eager inquirers at the
unions Paris home. Many of them
are anxious to take course Of studies
in the United States.
Fourteen French students already
are studying In American universities
on free scholarships from a fund col
lected by 5000 American students in
recognition of the hospitality extended
to them by French universities during
the war.
The Society for American Fellow
ship in French universities is planning
to send twenty Americans each year
to the SOrbonne and other French
seats of learning; nor will the Asa
tan university of Strasburg be neg
lected. Twenty-Five scholarships for
American girls in France already are
filed.

occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff

become sluggish and weaken, then YOU
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue Is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinpes. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment. the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
{ To neutralize these Irritating acids. to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.

FRANCE NEEDS SUGAR |
Famine Is Likely to Last for
Three Years.
Shells Render the Ground Unfit for
the Production Of
6eets.

Scissors, France.-The sugar short
age in France, due to the German in
vasion, will not be relieved for three
years, according to government reports
and commercial statistics furnished to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press by the authorities who arranged
his trip Of inspection through devas-
tated regions to witness reconstruction
work.
OF the country's 206 raw sugar
plants, 145 virtually were RACED during
the war, the figures show, and most of
the half-million acres of sugar-beet
land were devastated by the ravages
Of battle.
None of the larger sugar plants has
resumed business because Of lack OF
buildings, and sugar beet production
this year was said to be almost nil.
Both of these conditions are due in
measure to insufficient transportation
facilities. Estimates of a special com
mittee of the chamber of deputies,
which forecast sugar shortage last.
ing three years, however, gave encour.
agement for half the normal output of
the country within two years.
At the present time, the absence of
sugar In France has resulted in the in
ability of persons holding sugar cards
to get any of the commodity for weeks
at time.
Raising of sugar beets virtually has
ceased in six Of the eight beet-raising
departments. due to the churning OF
the ground by shell explosions, the
necessity Of clearing away unexploded
ammunition and the presence of barbed
wire and other debris. About one
twentieth of the land is considered
useless for many years, and at least
one-third is declared to have suffered
depreciation of half its value. The loss
In land is in addition to the destruction
Of buildings and the stripping or re-
moval Of machinery.
Direct loss to plants In the sugar In.
dustry Is estimated by the chamber
committee to be 675,0O0,OO0 francs.

SlRUPS SAVE SUGAR
IN MAKING JELliES
Directions Given by Department
of Agriculture Experts.
When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Ex-
pensive Jellies May Be Made to
Advantage With One-Half Usual
Amount Of SWeeteninQ.

To obtain the largest possible
amount of jelly from fruit with the
use of the smallest possible amount Of
sugar, follow the directions given be-
low by United States department Of
agriculture specialists:
If good jelly-making fruit. such as
ounce, green grapes. tart and partly
ripe apples. Siberian crabs, or cram
berries, is being used, make a. second
extraction from the fruit. That Is, take
the pulp from the jelly bag, add one
cupful OF water to each pound Of pulp,
cook 30 minutes, and drip a second
time. using some pressure at the last.
Standardization jellies are likely to be
somewhat different in flavor from the
first, and it is an excellent plan to COM
bine the two jellies before sweetening.
When fruit is cheap and sugar ex-
pensive, jellies may be made to advan-
tage with one half as much sweetening
as usual, that Is, with one-half cupful
of sugar to one cupful of juice. The
yield of Jelly will be less, for one cup
full of good juice plus one cupful of
sugar should make between one and
one and one-half cupfuls Of jelly,
/ whereas one-haIf cupful of sugar plus
one cupful of juice makes between one
half cupful and three-fourths cupful OF
jelly.
| One-half OF the sweetening may be
glucose strip, light-colored corn strip
honey or sorghum sirup. II the othel
half is granulated sugar, there will b,
little noticeable difference in sweetness
in most cases. Grape with glucose o.
corn strip will make a good jelly ever
when no sugar Is used.

no dessert is more healthful than

Such fruits as apples. pineapples am
the like can be canned without sugar.
In fact, ordinary glucose or corn slrup

ing the strip. A palatable strip is
made by mixing one-half cupful sugar,
one cupful glucose and eight cupfu's

1t requires about seven ounces OF
