Honey Is One Of
Oldest Food Products

"From the very earliest history of
honey, stored as food by the bees in
crevices of rocks and in hollow trees.
Because of it's sweetness and delicate
flavor, it was regarded as a luxury and
at the same time as an addition to
the daily food" declares Leila w.
Hunt of the State College home econ
on1ics faculty.
Honey may be roughly described as
a syrup with distinctive flavor and
aroma, and made up of four parts OF
sugar to one part of water. The SUI
gars are of several kinds. Cane sugar,
grape sugar, and fruit sugar are the
kinds nown. Some dextrine is also
present, as we'll as small amounts of
other substances such as protein, vola-
tile oils, and minerals. Since the su-
CARS are it's principal ingredients, honey
is known as fuel food, supplying the
body with energy"
Miss Hunt points out the fact thai
if honey contained no water, 1t would
have practically the same fuel value,
pound for pound, as that for cane
sugar. However, since about one
fifth of it's total weight is water, it
follows that it's energy value is one
fifth less than that of cane sugar, be-
ing about 1880 calories per pound.
Honey may be used in a number or
ways in the home" continues Miss
Hunt "It may be used in cookies,
cakes, CONNECTIONS, and served like jam
with bread, breakfast cereals, pancakes,
and other mild favored foods Baked
foods made with honey keep moist
longer than those made with cane SUI
gar
In substituting honey for sugar it is
safe to estimate that cup of honey
will sweeten as much as cup of
sugar. We must take into considera-
ton that cupful of honey is about
one-fifth water. However, it has been
found for practical purposes, 1t is ac-
curate to consider that cupful of
honey contains about one-fourth cup
full of water. These facts, if kept in
mind, make special honey recipes I'M
necessary. Any housewife, through
slight calculations, can modify her own
recipes SO that honey may take the
place of sugar"

FRENCH ELECTION
IS SET TOMORROW
Run-off to Be Held Despite
Nations Sorrow in Death
of President.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, May France will hold its
run|of election to choose new Parlia-
ment tomorrow in silence and in sorrow.
The death of President Paul Doumer,
venerable head of the republic, has
stilled all political differences. even
though today was the eve OF the crit
ical second ballot of the general elec-
tionS.
At the first word of the attack on
the resident the political parties and
the groups declared an unofficial truce.
Meetings were abandoned. Important
speeches were merely handed in notes
to the press. Today's papers contained
little about the political campaign that
has been waged in every department
Of France for weeks.
Government Blamed.
Royalist on the Right and Communist
on the Left alike joined in detestatlon
of the crime. The extreme Left, in
stanced by the Communist organ
L Humanite seized on the assassin's s
Fascist to charge that the French gov
ernment was responsible by ''protec-
ton" of white Russians in Paris, where
there is a large colony of them.
For our part" writes Leon Blum
head of the important Socialist party, In
his cwn Populaire, I'VE should be
ashamed to abuse the declarations OF
madman to stir up public opinion
against the White Russians in Paris,
whose military organizations enjoy so
strange a tolerance. For it is once more
a question of cne of those madmen
without a straitjacket whose menace
prowls around the heads of all states
and surprises even police precautions.
What effect the assassination will
have on the results of the second ballot
tomorrow no one will know till the
returns come in. Out of 615 seats In
the Chamber, 361 are still to be filled
Yet in his death Paul Doumer may have
done more to still party differences in
a time of world crisis than he was able
to do even in life.
Sought Moderate Union.
Doumer's simple and unassuming
was endeared him to Frenchmen and
French women in every degree. In the
last cabinet crisis, when Premier Tar
dieu succeeded Pierre Laval, he sought
to secure tor France a stable govern
ment which would unite the moderate
forces.
"A succession has been opened,
comments LIE journal, "in the middle OF
grave external conjunctureS and in the
full tide of internal battle. Already
the political chiefs have declared a
truce If, as one great dramatist said
there is some good in even the worst
things, if misfortune brings together
in common aff1iction the men who are
tearing each other to pieces-may not
Paul Doumer once more have served
France in reconciling her children?"
The cabinet met today with Premier
Tardieu to discuss the whole situation
as well as to arrange funeral details.

means Of saving Russia from the Boil
sheviks. This was to secure control OF
the country for the peasants.
Il am a great Russian patriot" he
said. Il know you will kill me, but my
duty was to do what I did"
President Doumer will be buried
Thursday with full national honors, the
cabinet decided.
Edge Expresses Sympathy.
In addition to his call at the presi-
Dental palace, United States Ambas-
Sador Edge sent the communication to
M. Tardieu, who is virtual head of the
state until successor to the President
is elected, saying the United States
Government learned Of the President S
death with the greatest distress and
he was instructed to convey to the
government and people of France "the
profound grief and sorrow Of the Gov
ernment and people of the United
States"
President Doumer has to a singular
degree exemplified for the American
people the finest ideals of the French
race" the Ambassador added His
heroic sacrifices during the war and
his devotion to the highest interests of
the state commanded our profound ad-
miration.
He had shown himself invariably.
through his long years of public serv-
ice, warm and close friend of my
country"
The Ambassador concluded with a
request that the condolences and SYM
pathy of the American Government be
conveyed to Nine. Doumer.
Nations throughout the world Joined
France in mourning her loss. Belgium
declared an official period Of eight
days mourning Poland set her flags
at half staff and decided to send an
official delegate to the funeral. In
London the King Cancelled a theater
engagement and similar marks of re-
spect came from other countries

wounded In trying to protect President
Doumer, passed bad night at Beaujon
Hospital, but will recover. The surgeons
