Five: Reasons Why

Engel estimates that, despite
Intensive expansion efforts over
t period of kevera] pears,' Jap-
: %nese, plane and engine factories
'pow are turning out not more
than 4,500 aircraft .!yearly. "A

Honey as a Substitute
•
As we are all, asked to be .on
sugiir rations, there should.. be no
!assenting for we still have mar-
vellous substitutes in corn syrup,
maple • syrup and ,honey.
Before the introduction ,of, eane•
sugar, honey • was apparently the,
most common, sweet available for•
human consumption.
Honey is the nectar 'of flowers
gathered by honeybees and ripen-
ed by them within their hives. The,
ripening pteecess consists 'of evap-
orating' the emcees moisture .from
the nectar and 'certain changes` in
the clerks%l na'tur'e . of the'. meats
it. contains. ' . '•
SOME' THINGS: 76 REMEMBER
1: • Measure Honey alvray:s -in

2. For every ,cup' of honey used,
reduce..the liquid called • for in a

• 3. One .cup, of honey ,ie as great
