SUGAR SUPPLIES
ChLORIES AT the
LOWEST PRICE
Few Foods Return Such High
Caloric Value for the
Money

Sugar is an inexpensive food.
Compared with butter, bacon,
macaroni, bread, meats, milk,
green vegetables and fresh fruits,
sugar supplies the system with Tar
more ,calories for each cent spent
than the same amount expended on
any of the rest of the products
named.
This fact is significant because
the average system requires ap-
proximately 5000 calories daily. Of
this amount, sixty per cent should
be derived from the carbohydrate
group of foods to which sugar
belongs.
To get the full value Of sugar the
housewife should consider it in re-
! lation to all the foods she chooses
for her table. The most inexpensive
balanced meal can be made satisfy
ing and complete by a sweet des-
sert. Canned vegetables, as well as
fresh ones, can be much improved
in taste appeal if q dash of sugar
to a pinch Of salt is added while
they are cooking. Breakfast cereals
and stewed dried fruits have added
goodness when sugar Is added.
Doctors and dietitians approve
the use Of sugar in making essen
tial foods tasty. For these foods
contain vitamins, minerals and
roughAge - all of which are needed
By the system. Good food promotes
good health. The Sugar Institute.

DRESSED-UPEGG
DA|NT|ES

Eggs are perhaps our must sue
cessful substitute for meat in the
average diet. And their prepara'
ton may be varied in such nu'
merous and attractive ways that
they are enjoyed by almost every
one.
Even those who are inclined to
ignore eggs on a menu may be
tempted by some delightful nov
city in their preparation. Espe'
cially is this true Of men, who
are quite enthusiastic about
dressed.up egg dishes.
Since eggs are rather neutral
in flavor, their taste is greatly
improved by the addition Of such
zeStfuI condiments as Tomato
Ketchup and Chill Sauce, Spanish
Olives, Worcestershire Sauce and
Prepared Mustard in the cooking
These condiments then blend per.
fectly with the other ingredients
to produce dish Of truly delight.

PRESERVING BY.
I OVEN METHOD

Preserving by the oven method
Is an advantage. especially If the
product being preserved would
otherwise require long cooking on
the top Of the stove and. there
fore, would necessitate constant
watching and stirring to prevent
1t from sticking and burning.
Pickles and relishes can be
placed in a heat-controlled oven
and cooked slowly without watch
ing or stirring and with no danger
Of the products burning. This
is a relief from the drudgery OF
picking by the ordinary method
and makes the work easier.
Pepper Relish
IL green peppers, chopped.
IL red peppers, chopped.
IL medium onions, chopped.
! bunch celery, chopped.

3 tablespoons salt.
Crop or grind the peppers.
Pour boiling water over them and
drain. Make syrup Of the vege-
tables and bring to the boiling
point over a surface burner.
Place at once in the heat-con-
trolled oven and cook for l hour
at 275 degrees F. Then pour into

INTRICAC|ES OF
COCOA MAKING

Because cocoa and chocolate
are so universally popular and
because their uses are so many
and varied I am delving today
into the intricacies Of their
manufacture and their character
iSticS.
In cocoa and chocolate manu-
featuring the cocoa beans or ker-
nels are cleaned, sorted and
roasted. The roasting is very Inn
portant, for upon it depends to
a great extent the flavor Of the
finished cocoa.
The kernels go next to the
cracker" which cracks the shells
and breaks the kernels into small
pieces known as cocoa nibS.
Then comes the ''fanner," which
separates the shells from the
cocoa nibs and sorts the latter
by screens. into different sizes,
the last being as fine as dust.
The cocoa I1ibS designated for
each blend are filled into heated
grinders" ;" which reduce them to
a thick, oily blend.
Chocolate Manufacture
If bitter chocolate is being made
the liquid is cooled to the proper
temperature And run into molds,
where it remains until chilled.
When the temperature is lowered,
the outside will show a thin cover
ing of CONCEALED butter which
looks white"
This is not an indication that
the chocolate is of inferior quail
ity or is irretrievably injured.

Everyone who has the task Of
planning family meals knows how
monotonous the meat dishes can
become if the same one is served
too frequently. Yet the success Of
dinner featuring meat depends
less upon mere cost than does
virtually any other type Of meal.
One of the most encouraging
points about meat cookery is the
fact that q little ingenuity EN-
ployed in seasoning and prepar.
ing even the cheapest cuts VIII
afford pleasing variety Of high
ly palatable dishes.
These Savory meat dishes -
wi. oSe success is aSsued by their
seasoning - may take a variety
of forms. Some housewives prefer
the zone dish" or "oven dinner
type, where the ingredients are
prepared several hours in advance
Of the meal and then subjected to
long, slow cooking. Others favo-
the quickly cooked style, that may
be prepared and all ready to serve
in considerably less than one-half
hour.
Whatever type you may prefer,
the number of such meat dishes
is almost endless. Simply provide
your pantry with a variety of
such condiments as tomato ket,
chup, chill sauce, Worcestershire
and beetSteak sauces, prepared
mustard, etc. Then see how pleas

MELLON OPERA
STAND ROUSES
PROTEST STORM
Valves Collection of Tax
Paid Elsewhere, For
q Capitol Show.

BIZ Scripps-Hoscard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Sec-
rotary Melons decision to exempt
grand opera tickets for perform
ances given here from taxation,
has raised a problem which event
ually may mean g. loss of money
to Uncle Sans till.
Representative Sol Bloom OF New
York, one OF the sponsors of The
movement to bring the Metropolitan
grand opera to the capital for a
three-day appearance, today raised
the question of how La Boheme'
and "Rigoletto" can be educational
in the capital, as Mellon decreed in
waving the collection of the 10 per
cent tax, and merely amusement"
in other places, and therefore a
proper source Of revenue for Uncle
Sam.
Same Cast, Same Opera
eft is the same cast, the same
opera, the same music as in New
York or any other place. COM
mented Bloom, music lover and
builder of theaters himself. yet
Mellon calls it educational in Wash
ington and recreational in New
York.
Other members pointed out that,
when the Metropolitan or Chicago
Grand Opera companies tour the
country, the music lovers of Gin
Cinnati, Columbus, Baltimore and
similar cities must pay the tax, even
though the benefits are quite as ed
ucatiOnal as when the same casts
perform at the capital.
Bloom did not make the point in
criticism of Melons decision, for
the New York member is one OF
numerous members Of congress
underwriting the local venture.
Agrees on Education
He agrees with the secretary Of
the treasury that good music
should be regarded as "educational'
in purpose and effect" but he con-
tends it can not be one thing in one
place and something else in another.
Opera is opera, in Blooms opinion,
and that's all there is to it.
The congressman pointed out that
during the season in New York,
long queues of people unable to buy
reserved seats stand in line for
blocks waiting for gallery room on
which they must pay tax of 80
cents. He asserted that some con-
sideration ought to be given to these
opera-goerS as well as to those in
the capitol.

Among the citations which com

that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh: but they that
are after the Spirit the things OF

minded is death; but to be spirit

cause the carnal mind is enmlty
against God. Tor it is not subject to
the law Of God. neither indeed can

The lesson-sernon also includes
the following citations from the
Christian Science textbook. Science
and Health with Key TO the Scrip

corporeal senses are the only source
of evil or error. Christian Science
shows them to be false, because
matter has no sensation. and no

Sunday School Lesson

But when, to the woman herself
as she came worshiping and crying,
Lord, help me-" he replied, ut
is not meet to take the children's
bread and cast it to the dogs" it
seemed not only that Jesus was I'M
willing to help her but that he was
subjecting her to needless insult.
The woman's answer, Truth,
Lord. yet the dogs eat Of the crumbs
which fall from the masters table, -
would seem to help us to under
stand the real spirit and meaning
of the incident. In various places
in the New Testament we have evil
dence that Jesus possessed and ex-
pressed a sense of humor. The nick
name that he gave to James and
John, "BOanergeS" or Sons of
Thunder" was in itself indicative
of that humor. When he asked the
people which of them if his son
asked bread would give him a stone,
there was the same pointed humor,
and in many other passages, this
same quality of the use of hunOr-
GUS suggestion or figure Of speech is
evident.
Does not this shed light on this
passage and turn a harsh and al
most brutal saying, if it be inter
preted literally, into something
far different and more in harmony
with the gentle and beautiful
spirit of Christ? Did not the
woman, in some kindliness Of man
ner in Jesus or in some kindly
glance OF his eye, understand quite
well that he was playfully testing
or teasing her in some such way as
a gentle and benignant man might
make a harsh, but playful, saying
to child?
Would Jesus have healed this
woman's daughter if he had had
any real prejudice in his heart
against her? Or have used words
in intentional harshness that be-
lied his loving purpose? 1t seems
uncomfortable. Surely it must have
been a tremendous climax to the
story after the way in which Jesus
had led up to it to have these
disciples in their narrownesS and
prejudice and lack of faith stand
by While Jesus commended the
woman for her great faith.
1t is in this climax of the story
that we are able to perceive its full
meaning and to put all its perplex-
ing incidents and sayings into their
proper place in relation to the story.
II we miss the climax then we miss
the whole teaching the story is in
tended to convey.
II in our modern day and en-
vironment we can not see goodness
and faith wherever they are mani
fest in those who differ from us ra-
cially or in any other respect, the
meaning Of the lesson is lost upon
US, for this story has no meaning
as it stands in the New Testament
except as it enforces the profound
truth that men like Peter learn with
great difficulty that God is no re-
specter OF persons.
