Nine major beet g'l'owing States produce annually about 1,700,000 tons of sugar worth approximately $60,000,000 to growers, The major beet States are California, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Idaho, t'tah, Wyoming, Ohio and Michigan.

The War Aguinst Mrs. Badley Adapted from the MGM Picture by WiLLIAM McCORMICK SYNOPSIS: Mrs. Stella Hadley, a Washing. ton society matron and staunch Republican of the old school, feels that the war is directed against her personally. She has lost a man servant in the draft; her daughter, Patricia, is in love with a soldier, Mike Fitzpatrick (al- though Mrs. Hadley doesn't know this yet); her son, Ted, has been drafted and the best friend of the family, Elliott Fulton, for whom Ted had been working at the War Department, refuses to seek his deferment—in fact ad- mits he is responsible for the boy being drafted. CHAPTER FOUR "Who is this Ulan Teddy's bringing with hills?" Mrs. Hadley asked as she and Pat and Cecilia were driving to her son's Arany vamp to have dinner. " Scrg''alt Fitzpatrick," smiled Pat happily. "Fitzpattick? isn't: that the young mon you had at the house the night of the blackout"" }IPI' mother asked. "'I'hnt's right," Pat admitted. Stella 1ladley, Pat. Cecilia, Mike And Ted were just finishing their coffee in the roadhouse near the camp when Mrs. Hadley asked the question that almost led to trouble.

"Glory be! Come on!" Pat held him back. "Where are you going?" she :asked. "To ask your mother for your hand its marriage," „You'd better let Ole take care of that later," Pat frowned. "But it's my ,job," "Not in this rare," Pat smiled. "Don't forget --- I proposed to you," • • • Patricia broke the news to het mother after they had returned home that night.

Then sponge with warm, mild soapsuds and rinse carefully with warns water, Grease Spots: These rot the fabric and should be removed at: once with carbon tetrachloride (sold raider various trade names). Apply with a soft cloth --taking up the soil with a clean cloth or blotter as it dissolves. Ink Stains: Take up freshly Spilled ink with blotting paper or soft cloth. 'Then sponge the spot with lukewarm water. Old or stubborn stains should be sept to tine professional cleaner, ('hewing Guns: Soften by pour- ing on at little carbon tetrachlor- ide. Let stand a few minutes, then remove with a dull knife. Any rent:fining. trace may he sponged with tetrachloride. Road Oil, Tar or Asphalt: Sponge with cloth well moistened With carbon tetrachloride. Change the cloth as it becomes soiled and continue until cloth remains un- soiled. Paint Stains: fresh paint, if moist, can be cleaned by rubbing gently with (loth wet in ttu'pen• tine.

CHAMBERS A Chat On Desserts \\'ith the rationing of sugar, butter aid the scarcity of whip- ping cream the problem of des- serts becomes more difficult. I1,nsserts are of two kinds, those just to "top off the meal," so to speak, and those planned from a calorie or vitamin standpoint to help balance the meal, lu I:nglluld a custom prevails which is one of great coo mo, sense. Raw fruit is a popular .dessert and what is more healthful for all of us? Meals, well hal•' attced from the protein and carbos hydrate standpoint, can very easily be finished with say raw apples — those lovely red apples, which especially at this season of the year make their appearance with all the extra rosiness that apples ever bad. 'There is the "Delicious" apple and many oth- ers, that are very appetizing and most healthful for adults and children. As a nation we have fallen into a bad habit of thinking most desserts should be sweet, This is also the season for the lovely California grapes. They, too, make all ideal ending to a heavy or well balanced. meal. California also sends us dates and raisins, which of course are ex- pensive for those of tis who must watch our budgets. Oranges are cheaper now and at the peak of their season and they lend varia- tion for most menus. The English custom of using crackers and cheese for dessert is: well worth renumbering. This will have to be guided by the rest of your means and would be barred if your meal is already high in protein -- meats, beans, peas, etc, \!any omit the dessert when using a substantial salad and this again is a very healthful thing to tlo for all, It does seen) unfortunate that we have not a little extra sugar for our bountiful Canadian apple crop, but 1 ant sure the govern. 01001 is doing the very hest for us they can in this food problem, 1t is a gigantic task for 1 -hem and after all we have an abundance of things to cat. 1)' you are a family who does not insist on sugar in tea, coffee and cereals, then 1 can assure you with careful planning you will have enough sugar for a reasonable amount of desserts in the simple category. I mean by this a simple custard, maybe a ,junket, a little c'oc'oa, or left over cauulc,l fruit in the bottom of your custard cup.
