contain about four-fifths sugar and
one-fifth water so that in using any
of these we obtain about four spoon-
ful of sugar from five spoonfuls of
syrup but as the syrup contains mois-
ture, more flour must be used or an
equal emeunt of a flour, such as bar-
ley flour, which takes up more mois-
ture.
In substituting corn syrup in a re-
cipe calling for all sugar, we may use
one-half syrup and one-half sugar by
deducting one-quarter cupful of
amount of liquid in original recipe, for
each cup of substituted syrup.
-In preserving, part syrup glues ex-
cellent results and manufacturers as-
sert it is superior to all sugar. One
part of syrup and three parts of sugar
is the best proportion although equal
parts are often used; this reduces the
consumption of sugar one-third or one-
half.
Unfortunately the cost of the sub-.
stitutes is so high at the present time
that it does not lessen the cost of a
recipe to use them in place of sugar
but it is our patriotic duty naw to do

We can easily do without sweet
drinks, candy, sugar frostings and su-i

us, therefore, reduce our consumption
of wheat and wheat products as much
as our circumstances will permit.
Generous co-operation has been given
and is being given in the adaption of
wheat and meat substitutes --but more
is required.
"May we match our co-operation
and sacrifice with the spirit of our
men in the fighting lines in Europe.
If our spirit be as theirs, we shall not
fail."
I•'IGHTERS ARE FATALISTS.
Conditions of Life at the Front Tend
To Make Him One.
In every true fighter there is r1
deep feeling of fatalism at the bottom
of his heart, and in studying a little
closer ]lig daily life this will not star -
prise us. His conditions of life are
quite different; he does not lite in a
house any more, but in caves, in deep
dugouts which are considered as a
kind of palace. Meet of the time he
dwells in a hole dug in the parapet of
the trench if not in a shell hole filled
with a liquid sort of mud. His brains,
his activities are not employed as they
used to be; were he a farmer or a
clerk; a docker or a teacher, a rich
man or a poor man, he will dig
trenches and again dig trenches, He
will have but one single idea—kill the
boche and not be killed by bine. Thus
he has been transplanted from his
, habits as a civilian, from his ordinary
conditions of living, torn away from
his family, from his sphere, from his
society, and he is obliged to bend both
body and mind tethese new -condi-
tions. The feeling that this appalling
sort of life cannot be changed, that
nothing can be done to induce him to
dead a more normal sort of life, will
work on him and give him the first
touch of fatalism. If he be in the
trenches this feeling will become an
all-powerful one. There lie will have
to live in such startling conditions,
amid such a gigantic uproar, amid
such a tremendous commotion that
he will feel himself a poor wretched
little creature at a toes. What is he
to become in the midst of the fray,
with shells exploding all around him
with it startling noise? He is per-
fectly aware that the tenth, nay the
hundredth part of the explosive con-
tained in the shell would suffice to
disable him. Ire is perfectly aware
that one of these shell splinters
which are buzzing all around him
would, if it hit him, injure him seri-
ously if not kill him. He also con-
stantly hears the cracking of bullets
which pass close to him. And though.
ho was not killed and come out of the
fray unhurt, how dos he explain
this? Because his hour has not tomo
yet. On the other thane., be sees a
well aimed German missile play great
havoc in the billets close to the front
among the men who camebock un-
hurt after having delivered a very
dangerous assault.

Cultivation of vegetables should be-
gin as soon as the plants are up, « It
should be repeated at frequent int,ere
vale, The crust should be broken af-
ter every rails, as soon as the ground
is dry' enough to work. It is poor
economy to wait for weed growth to
force cultivaution, Once the, soil is
allowed to settle, become firm or to
baler: it can be worked only with die-
ficurty
