Maple -Sugar in the Daily Meals.
If you can buy maple -syrup at a
reasonable price, do so, and bottle it
yourself. To make a success of this
the syrup must he bottled while hot, in
air -tight bottles.preferably in pint
size, for it very soon loses its flavor
when left open. Following are Leeine
particularly good' recipes for the Lisa
of maple -sugar and syrup:
Lunch Cakes.—One cupful maple-
si;.gar, one-fourth cupful butter, three-
fourths cupful sweet milk, one, egg,
two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful
baking -!powder, nuts. Cream butter
and sugar, add berten egg,, milk and
flour sifted with baking -powder, Bake
in well -buttered muffin -tins, in a quick
oven. If nuts are used, add lastly.
Maple Frostieg.—One cupful maple -
syrup, one-half cupful of white sugar,
white of one egg. Boil syrup and
sugar ,until mixture will grain; stir
until nearly cold, then pour on stiffly
beaten white of egg.
l% a111e Pilling.—Two and one-fourth
culpfuls maple -sugar, one-fourth cup-
ful butter, one-half cupful sweet milk,

milk, six tablespoonfuls cornstarch,
one and one-half cupfuls flour, one and
one-fourth teaspoonfuls vanilla.

and sugar; sift cornstarch and flour
several times, and add alternately with
milk to first mixture; add vanilla, and
fold in whites of eggs, beaten dry.
Bake in quick oven in large tins.

Two cups water, one-half cup sugar,
five tablespoonfuls cornstarch, one -
quartet, teaslpoonful salt. Mix the
ingredients in order given, then put or,
fire and bring to a boil. Cook for
three .minutes. Remove from the fire

egg and one teaspoonful of vanilla.

Cool and pour over the pudding.
Skim -Milk Versus Beef.
Skim -milk is a very economical food
material in the opinian of experts,
and might well be more largely used
as human food—this in spite of the
fact that it is nine -tenths water.
Whole milk is an indispensable food
for the young, and even in the diet of
the adult it is comparatively
economical. The only nourishing ma-
terial taken from it in skimming is the
butter fat. There is left, therefore,
in the skim -milk, not only all of the
sugar, which amounts to about four
and a half parts in every hundred, and
all of the mineral substances, but also
all of the protein. The last-named
'substance is important because, be-
sides serving as fuel for the body, as
' fats, sugars and starches do, it also
supplies tissue -building material. The
proportion of protein in skim -milk, as
well as sof the mineral constituents,
; which are also valuable for body-
building, is-ee-op, greater than in whole
er.ilk.
Slrini iIk is to be classed°; as whole'
milk. is, with stieh food materials as
eggs; meat, fish, poultry, and cheese
(though it is much more delicate than
those foods) rather than with such
substances as sugar, which servo only
as fuel. Two and a half quarts of
skim -milk contain almost as much pro -
tem and yield about the same amount
of energy as a pound of round of beef.
When skim -milk sells for four cents a
quart, or about two cents a pound, and
round of beef for twenty cents a
pound, a dime, or any other sum of
money spent for skint -milk will pro-
vide nearly twice as much nourish-
ment as it will if spent for round
steak. •
A Meat Loaf Recipe.
Soak two cups of bread crumbs in
one cup of boiling water.
Rub the soft bread crumbs and 2
cups of cooked oatmeal through a fine
sieve. One and one-half cupfuls of
cold boiled meat, run through a food
chopper three times. Now rub the
meat through a sieve, acid the oatmeal
and bread crumbs and one and one-
half teaspoonfuls salt, one teaspoonful
onion sauce, 1 teaspoonful poultry sea-
soning, one cupful thick cream sauce.
Mix well and pack in a well -greased
mold and bake for forty minutes in a
moderete oven. Set the mold in a
pan of hot water. Serve either hot or
cold. If serving hot, a brown or
tomato sauce should be used.

I£ se you will bo glad to know that according to

Fuller's earth, spread the blouse care-
fully over this and put another layer
of the earth over it. Spread another
sheet of white paper over this and put,
the cover on the box. Let it remain
untouched for five or six days; their
shake out the blouse, which will be
quite clean.
Mending Hints.
To mend a glove that is split at the
thtianb or near a seam buttonhole the
kid either side of the split and then
sew the buttonhole edges together.
The result will be a new firm seam
that will never teat again. When
buttonholing take a good bold of the
kid, otherwise the stitches will pull
out from the kid. All stockings, ir-
respective of the material, should be
defiled with darning silk. Not only
does it make a neater darn, but it
wears better and does not hurt the
foot.
Home -Made Hanger.
A handy clothes hanger for children
can be made of a broom handle. Make
a cross of two pieces of wood fourteen
inches long; three inches wide and one
or one-half inch thick for a standard.
Fasten together, bore a hole in the
center and insert the handle. Screw
half a dozen hooks in the handle, paint
or enamel any desired shade and the
hanger is finished. Small children
will enjoy hanging their dresses on
this hanger, thus teaching them to be
neat and tidy.

MEDICINE
FOR THE SPRING
Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives ---
A Tonic is All You Need.
Not exactly sick ---but not feeling
quite well, That is the way most
people feel in the spring. Easily
tired, appetite fickle, sometimes
headaches, and a feeling of depression:
Pimples or eruptions may appear on
the skin, or there may be twinges of
rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of
these indicate that the blood is out of
order—that the indoor life of winter
has left its mark upon you and may
easily develop into more serious trou-
hie:gees.
Do not dose yourself with purga-
tives, as so many people do, in the
hope that you can put your blood

of Shells Used in Maxim Gun

The late Sir Hiram Maxim says iu

home its stationery with the heading,
"The United States Electric Lightning

new gun company in England, he told
of this mictalce in. order to emphasize
the iineoltarice of getting the statihn-
ery printed correctly. When the first

"On)y once .has Chile been in any

Germany Bled White in Food and
Finance—Finish Near.
The biggest question in the world
to -day is: How long can Germany
stand it? writes Oscar Ring Davis,
an American correspondent, who re-
cently left Berlin. Is she starving?
Is she going bankrupt? Is she run-
ning out of raw materials? Is she ex-
hausting her pian power? The ques-
tion has other variants, but they all
mean the sante thing, How loilg can
Germany hold out against the pres-
sure of the allied blockade, against
the economic warfare waged by
Great Britain, as well as against the
military warfare waged by all the
Entente powers?
The answer to this question car-
ries with it fol' most of the world the
answer toethe question of bow long

allied to her that; one finds any sub-
stantial confidence that Germany may
yet prove to be the victor in the strug-
gle. Outside of Germany one does not
find the same readiness to believo in
the possibility of economic or military
exhaustion for the Entente allies that
is constantly expressed with vigor and
enthusiasm, if not with conviction, in
Berlin and other German centres.
The conclusion reached by Mr.
Davis from his personal observations
in Germany is that, bled white and
near bankruptcy,

Food For A Lifetime.
The higher price of foodstuffs has
been used as a practical and very con-
vincing argurnent that we should eat
less. Most of us believe that we eat
too much; but do we realize how much
we do eat in a lifetime? A. pian of
science estimates that "the average
man" of seventy-five years has eaten
fifteen hundred tithes las own weight.
The bread would make a pile like a
house, the meat would fill many
freight; cars, the vegetables would
snake a trainload, fish and sugar
would fill other cars, and the eggs
would make the roan blush to look a
hell in tee, eye.

DEVASTATION IN FR4tift•E.
No Military Reason Apparent for
Large fart of Destruction.
"Never before in the history of the
world has there beep such a thorough
destruction by either a vanquished or
victorious army as that which; the
Germans wrought in northern France,
according to the report of a 100 -mile
trip in that section by Aniliasf,aclor
Sharp, made publie recently at the
State Department, Washington.'
"Towns were totally destroyed,"
the Ambassador reported, " for no
apparent military reason, and in many
of the smaller villages scarcely a
house remains with roof .intact,"
"In the larger towns of Roye and
Ham, and particularly in the attract-
ive and thriving town of Chattily, de-
struction was complete. In many of
the other smaller villages scarcely a
house remains with roof intact.
Throughout the recanquered territory
there reigns a scene of desolation;
and this is not only true where Ger-
titan military operations might pos-
;ibiy excuse destruction in the blowing
•'p of bridges, telegraphic and tele-
-ihonic connections, railway lines and
the blocking of highways by felling
trees which protected the German re-
treat. Fruit trees had either been cut
•town or exploded so as to completely
ruin them; private houses along the
r:ouutry highway, including some of
the most beautiful chateaux of great
value, were completely gutted by ex-
plosives systematically planted or by
fire.
"Blackened wails of what must
have been manufacturing plants were
to be seen in matey towns, the salvage
of which would searcelypay for their
removal. Agricultural implements on
the farms were reduced to a mass of
ruins by fire or explosives.
"At the town of Ham the mother of
eix children told pie that her husband
and two daughters, one eighteen and
• the other fifteen years of age, had
been carried away by the Germans at
!the time of the evacuation. Upon re-
reonstratieg she had been told that as
an alternative she might find their
t trollies in the canal in the rear of her
house. She stetted that out of the
t.ewn's total population several hun-
dred persons had been compelled to
accompany the Germans, nearly half
of whom were girls and women over
Moen years of age. A large number
f French people, it is believed, in the
evacuated town and surrounding coun-
try were compelled to go with the
Germans, from the fact that few are
to ,be found there."

ONE OF TH Ia HEROES.
Signal Act of Bravery on the Part of
Young French Soldier.
Writing from Paris, a United Press
correspondent toils about the heroic
exploit of a young French soldier,
Marcel Marco, who, now lying in a
Paris hospital, wounded in many
71aces and severely burned, has been
the recipient of the French War

act of bravery. •
