Sugar Substitutes.
II you feel that you cannot use
sugar in all Of the canning recipes
given here, even with your extra
canning ration, here are the rules
for substitutions:
IF you are using Q bottled fruit
pectin recipe, you may substitute
2 cups light corn syrup for 2 cups
Of the sugar. Do not use more than
cups Of corn syrup in any recipe,
however, as this viii give unsatis-
factory results.
In a powdered fruit pectin recipe,
you may use cup light corn syrup
for each cup Of sugar omitted. But,
do not try to use all corn syrup in
the recipe instead Of sugar. You
may substitute corn syrup for only
" the sugar required. If, for exam
pie, the recipe calls for 6 cups Of
sugar altogether, you may use 8
cups of light corn syrup, but you
must also use 8 cups Of sugar.

Cocoanut Palm Supplies Vital
Part In Making Of Gas Masks

goes into furniture and lumber for
houses and boats. The trees leaves
are used for roofs, brooms, mats,
baskets and fodder for cattle. The
unripe husk is made into preserves,
the young leaves into pickle, and
early shoots serve as a vegetable.
When the tree is felled, the juice in
the stump may be made into toddy,
wine or yeast. Vinegar, gum, and
even cement are obtained from this
marvellous tree.
The cocoanut palm grows best by
or near the sea, in lands of abund
ant rains and ample moisture. Mil
lions of them grow wild and flourish
on the coastal plains of Mexico, of
the Central American Republics, and
all the way to Ecuador on the Paci-
fic and to central Brazil on the
Atlantic, while many of the Carib-
bean islands are also natural pro-
ducers of cocoanut palms.
The tree is of rather rapid
growth and attains height of rs
to 100 feet. Its slenderness and abb
sence of limbs has a tendency to
make it seem even taller. In most
countries the tree begins to bear
seven or eight years after planting
and once bearing, the palm may live
and be productive for three quarters
Of century. One Of the curious
facts is that the tree indicates its
age by rings around the trunk-as
growth proceeds the lower leaves
fall, leaving a ring or scar, with
two such rings representing a year
of growth.
The top of the cocoanut palm
forms a cluster of fifteen to thirty
luxuriant leaves fifteen or more feet
in length and very lace-like in ap-
pearance. 1t is under these leaves,
close to the trunk, that the tasty
eoeoanut grows in clusters.
Science continues to find new uses
to which the cocoanut palm can be
put, but man cannot improve upon
the grandeur which Nature bestowed
upon it nor the beauty of its setting.
n
! DID YOU KNOW THAT the but
tons in general use are made from
the nut of a palm tree, tagua, pro-
duced in large quantities in Ecuador
and some other tropical countries of
Latin America?
