articles on every n\cnu —whether.. In

In France the ration Is a pound and a

War Time Sweeteners
A MERICA has several excellent war time sweet
yA eners that will be used largely during the
f shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
rno ' asses a °d may be used ,in preparing des-
Syvw- . 3] aerts and other dishes requiring sweetening.
When a cup of syrup or honey is used
HL MM. jL 40 re P lllc ® • cup of sugar the liquid in the
HEXflSmafiEl recipes should be decreased one-fourth.
One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent
to one-third of a tup of honey, about one
half cup of svrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar.
One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half
cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One table
spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about
one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one
third tablespoons of corn sugar.
Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs,
dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals.
Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be used
to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and
not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without
sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful.
Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a
heavy syrup.
If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced
by another sweetener.
Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) ap
ples, cherries, strawberries and black caps.
When ready to use they may have added the needed .
sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful
fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as
fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit
gelatins and frozen desserts.
Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They
should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarce
may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and
cakes.

KNEMY RETREAT OVER FRONT
OP SIX MILKS; MERVILLE It
NOW IN BRITISH HANDS.
NOTMLE ADVANCE BY FRENCH
French Penetrate Lin* to Depth of
Mile or More and Capture
Towns and 2,200 Men.
The German* on three Important
aectors of the western battlefront
have been compelled to fire up posi
tions of great strategic value under
the onslaughts of the British and
French troops.
In the Lys sector, west of Armen
tleres, the enemy has retreated oyer
a front of nearly six miles, leaving
the town of Mervllle in British hands.
Between the Mats and Olse rivers the
French have fought their way to the
western outskirts of the dominating
position of Lasslgny and farther south
in this hill and wooded region have
debouched from the Thlescourt wood
and also captured the town of Pim
pres, situated in the Olse valley on
the Noyon-Comlepgne road.
Around the curve in the battlellne,
northwest of Soissons the French from
near Carlepont to Fontenoy on the
Aisne, a distance of approximately
nine have driven back the
enemy to an average depth of mora
than a mile and captured several vil-
and 2,200 prisoners.
ENEMY DEFENSE IS
GROWING WEAKER
Unofficial reports record the cap
ture by the British of the railway sta
tion on the western outskirts of the
Important town of Roye, one of th&
pivotal points on the battlefront be
tween the Somme and the Olse, but
there is no official confirmation of
this.
Viewed on the war maps the gains
in the new operations are most Im
portant ones for the allies, for, aside
from wide areas over wbich the en
emy has been compelled to acknowl
edge defeat the weakening in the
German defense is becoming dally
more noticeable.
GERMANS ARE NOW IN
BAD PREDICAMENT
Under the new gains of the British
around Roye and particularly those
made by the French from Lasslgny .to
the Olse valley and northwest of Sols
sons, the Germans now are in a bad
predloament. Here their positions are
dominated by the allied guns from
the west, southwest and south for
many miles and apparently a retreat
eastward across the plains of Plcardy
and over the Somme and even from
the western Alsne TJJH be necessi
tated.
The latest German official commu
nication asserts that French attacks
between the Olse and Alsne, deliver
ed over a wide front, failed, but the
French war office statement Is spe
cific in announcing the penetration of
the environs of Lasslgny, the putting
of a passageway through the Thles
court wood and the capture* of Plm
pres. ;

aerial observation by more efficient
camouflaging and less military order. !
The second document, which is from '

unit, seeks to explain the Impossibility '
of systematic effective destruction of

as aerial observation, are superior. j

CONSERVE SUPPLY Of. FEED
Greatest Economy in Feeding Grain
During War Should Bo Prao
tfced by Dairymen.
" if
(Prepared by the United States Depart*
meat of Agriculture.)
National necessity daring the war re
quires the greatest economy. In the
feeding of grain to live stock.' Human
beings most be fed first, yet milk pro
duction must be maintained. That
does not mean that our dairy cows
should be starved or -even that they
should be required to lire on half ra
tions. This Is the very time they should
be fed, and well fed. In order to main
tain sufficient supplies of dairy prod
ucts for our own armies and the armies
of our allies, and still hare enough for
our civilian population. In order to
feed the dairy herds well, with the min
imum of grain, substitutes must be fur*
nlshed for at least part of the grain.
With a good pasture during the entire
summer and with rich corn silage and
first-class legume hay for winter feed
ing, good dairy cows will yield a heavy
flow of milk at a minimum of cost
Clover, alfalfa, cowpea, soy bean,' relvct
bean or other legume hay, when fed
With good silage, will maintain a me
dium production of milk at a relatively
low cost Under ordinary farm condi
tions It Is not to' be expected that
legume hay will take the place of the
entire grain ration, but if It Is substi
tuted in part large quantities of grain
Will be released for human food.
The first step In bringing this condi
tion about must be the planting of iuore
legumes, and the sooner it 1b done the
better it will be for the Individual
dairyman, as well as for his state and
nation. Bvery dairy farm should pro
duce, when possible, at least one ton
of legume hay for each cow on the
place.
Fruits and green vegetables are
canned so as to supply succulent and
palatable foods for the family during
the winter. Succulence Is just as es
sential to cows as to a human being.
The abundant milk flow obtained from
June pasturage probably Is due, to a
large extent to the succulence of th?
grass. Silage provides succulent feed
during winter when pasta rage is not
available. With silage In the ration,
dairy cattle can be kept In the condi
tion of health common to animals on
pasture. The digestive system of a
cow is well salted for the utilization
of large Quantities of green grasses
and other coarse, succulent material.
Silage 1* palatable, and no other feed
will combine so well with dry hay and
a little grain to produce maximum eco
nomical results.
The preservation of the mature corn
crop or the saving of one which for
any reason ntnst be harvested before
maturity by placing It in silos Is de
servedly increasing in popularity.
About 40 per cent of the total food ma
terial in the corn plant is in the stalks
and leave*. When only the ears are
harvested nearly one-half of the crop
Is lost; on the other hand, when the
crop is put into the silo the losses are
very small.
Mo feed crops can be so successfully
harvested under such widely varying
conditions as those that are put Into
the silo. Only in case of drought or
frost la it necessary to rush the filling
of the silo; rain or dew on the forage
does not Injure the silage.
