H MEMORIKM
? ??"""^
On the evening of July 9th. 1918,
the death Angel 'again visited the
home of Mrs. Aurelia Bazemore,
*nd took therefrom her daughter,
Loma D. Bazemore, after a linger
ing illness of several months.
She was converted and joined
Bethelehem Baptist church, when a
child and ever remained a faithful
member, till healtn failed. She was
a great sufferer for some time but
bore it without a murmer, having
committed herself completely into
the Lord'4 hands and whose servant
site devotedly remained till the
summons came for Iter translation.
Her last hours were beautiful, and
calm, as' Heaven drew near. She
left no doubt in the end that she
would enter heavens door gloriously
To the loved ones the loss is
great and seems more than they
could bear, as this is the third time
in six months the home has been
bereft of a loved one, and while the
the home is Completely shrouded in
gloom over it hangs God'a rainbow
of promise "I'll never leave thee
nor forsake the".
The transition from earth to
Heaven leaves the family in tears,'
but how joyful to know she is nspre
mely happy surrounded by loved
ones and tieholding the King in his
beauty, and basking: in the sunshine
of His presence. No purer charac
ter ever lived than Loma, she has
left a legacy to sisters and brothers
that is to be coveted, not in wealth as
the world would call it, but a life
worthy of imitation. She was pa
tient, kind anri always considerate
of the welfare of others, and we
know ber spirit was wafted above
in tranquil quiet and glow of a
summer evening. *
Just a few day* before she passed
away, there was such a sad exper
ience in the nome when ber brother
bade her farewell, when he left for
Camp, knowing he could never see
her again in this world, but may he
and his family surrender their will
to Him who will keep their loved
one safe until the?family now brok
en on earth, shall'be mide whole
in his glorified presence, never to
sorrow or say goodbye.
On July 10th. the funeral services
were conducted at the home, by Rev
Underwood of Murfreesboro in a
very impressive manner, after
which the body was laid to rest in
the family cemetary by the side of
loved ones, to await the resurrec
tion morn.
We extend our deepest sympathy
to the loved one Jeft behind and
commend them to our Heavenly
Father who doeth all things for the
best.
No parting word* are ever spoken
In that Heavenly home ao fair,
For all ia joy, peace and glhdnesa
Where their loved one in Over
there.

v.'!
WHY? ?
BECAUSE:
1. Canning saves the crops **'
2. Canning a&ves labor
3. Canning saves transportation
4. Canning builds up home reserve*
5. We can afford to waste nothing
SLOW ON SUGAR
WHY?
BECAUSE:
1. German submarines sunk ragar
2. German submarine* sunk sugar
3. Boats have been released to
help feed Belgium
4. Germaes have rendered useleaa
sugar beet factories of North
ern France.
5. Our own sugar crop is smaller
than anticipated.
Are you a "good providea" Mrs.
Housekeeper? Then full steam
ahead on tanning. Never mind the
shortage of sugar. Take care of
the fruit now and the future will
take care of its self.
Who says you need sugar for can
ning??You don't!
Save Sa|ar in Canning
Sugar is not needed as a preser
vative if fruit is properly sterilised
and sealed. By ca?hut we can get
along with the use of heavy syrupa
and thus save sugar.
Fruit Joicc "?
Fruit j aices ean be bottled with
out sugar and usad as fruit drinks,
in jelly desserts, padding sauces,
and ice cream.
Directions for making fruit juicea:
Prepare fruit, cook until soft
and strain. Boil the strained
juice for five minutes and pour
it into jars or glaas bottles'that
have been sterilised by boiling
for 15 minuts, filling the jars
to overflowing. Seal jars imme
diately. Stopper the bottles
with corks sterilized in the
same manner as the bottles and
make air-tight by dipping the
cork and the lip of the bottle
into hot parafin. When sugar
is more plentiful fruit juicea
may be made into j?Ily.
Su|ar Substitutes
Extensive aud conclusive testa
?'
have shown that com sugar, corn
syrup, cane syrup and sorgum syrup
may be used in making preserves
and marmalades which do rot suffer
n comparison with the same same
products in which sugar is used.
Use Substitutes.
Write to John Paul Lucas, Con
servation Director, Food Adminis
tration, Raleigh, N. C., for leaflet
containing formulae, !receipea and
suKKt-stions for the use sugar sub
stitute*.
