Those who have been heavy users 6f cane and beet sugar will learn how to use other fdods and to substitute other sweetenings. Some will find tl»e rationed ounces amply cover their needs. XNT u.t ri.t.i.o n spec-iia lisx t sayi xthl a*t many tnem irom drowning retain the bone flavor of us eat more sweets than we need. Sugar dulls the appetite for other foods, creates only an appetite for more sugar. We eat sugar chiefly for iti sweetness and flavor. Molasses and sorghum syrup are excellent (xxx) sources or iron and good (xx) sources of calcium; cane syrup is a good source of iron; maple syrup and maple angar are good sources of calcium; otherwise, sugars contribute only fuel or energy to the diet. Fuel or energy ifhich is measured by calories could be obtained from starches and fats. In some diets sugar crowd*- out other foods such as fraita, vegetables and milk which are needed for proper growth and body maintenance. Besides this indirect damage of too many sweets, there may be direct injury to teeth according to many dental scien* tista. Hewnevcc, we do not need ta, nor do we waa/fc to give up sugar. Who would want cake or cocitiea, pie «tr piMIiin without awetitneas? Fortunately, sugar isn't our only sweetening. Honey, corn syrup and corn sugar or dextrose <prohibitive in price for or. dinary use), tnaple sugar and syrup, sorghum syrup, can all substitute for eane or beet sugar to some degree. Officials believe that supplies of all syrups, except molasses, can be in- «reaeed a tittle above last year's totals. Farmers have been asked to plant more eengfcnm this year. Since molasses is obtained in the process of refining sugar we can't expect unlimited quantities, but corn syrup is obtained commercially by chemical treatment of starch and therefore is one of our best substitutes. It is not difficult to learn how to use these other sweetenings and at the same time Continue to use our favorite recipes. Bureau of Home Economies specialists have worked out these rules for substitution. In beverages, paddings, custard and sauces, you can use com syrup in place of sugar as the only sweetening. But you have to use twice as much to get an equally sweet product. When you use corn syrup, all the other liquids in the recipe should be reduced one-fourth. In muffins, plain cakes, and drop cookies, corn syrup may be substituted measure for measure for sugar and the liquid in the recipe reduced onethird. / In sweet cakes and candy, you can replace one-fourth of the sugar with an equal amount of corn syrup, but, remember, whfcn you use corn syrup, to cut down the other liquids onethird. Canned foods and jellies can' be avade with three-fourths refined sugar and one-fourth corn syrup. Half the augar in stewed fruits may be replaced with com syrup. Frozen desserts, too, can be made with one-fourth corn syrup. Using it improves their texture. Molasses is the secret of success in gingerbread, baked beans, Boston brown bread, and many cakes and cookies. You can use sorghum syrup, instead, if you like. Maple sugar can be substituted for granulated sugar .in recipes where you'd like a maple flavor. You use 11/3 cups of maple sugar for each cup of cane or beet su&ar. Honey is especially good as a sweetening for raw fruits. You can put it on your cereal, use it in combination with nuts, chopped dried fruits, cream cheese, or pejuiut butte* as a sandwich Ailing. One-fifth of honey is water, but when you substitute honey for refined sugar you have to reduce the amount of other liquids in the recipes more than that. The amount of reduction Total •$ 778,44 Total -- $18,918.87 World Shuffled • The world seems to be getting somewhat shuffled, what with Norway in Michigan, China in Maine, Corinth and Hamburg in New York, Scotland in North Carolina, Den. mark in South Carolina and Berlin in both Wisconsin and Connecticut. 1408.56 STATE OF ILLINOIS, " ^ 66.18 McHenry County, > .

Lj. * An express omnibus doesffi-'fifteaii a pretty fast means of automobile transportation--it is really the name of a kitchen helper in a hotel or m> taurant. ^ * ? varies according to the consistency of the honey and the proportion as/honey you use. For instance, if you substitute medium thick honey for all the sugar in a recipe, reduce other liquids one-half. If you use half honey, hat| sugar, reduce Other liquids one-fourth,. Bake all £uch cake? and quickf>re&<V at'a modei ate temperature to "keep them from browning too fast and to HOtiey takes up mollturfc rapidly, so it is Especially appropriate in foods that you want to stay, jpaoist^a long time, like fruit cakes, steamed pyddings, cookies and candies. - Honey can replace half the sugar in jellies, jams and preserves, too. If you use more than half honey, though the flavor of the fruit and the consistency and color of the product will be changed somewhat. Honey can be used, measure for measure, in place of molasses in gingerbread, brown bread, etc. Since honey, is less acid than molasses, omit the soda and increase the amount of baking powder to one teaspoon for each half-teaspoon of soda the recipe calls for. Recipes for using honey in other foods are given in the U. S. Department of Agriculture Leaflet No. 118, "Honey and Some of Its Uses." It'a free from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Another good bulletin can be obtained from the American Honey Institute, Madison, Wis. It's ten cents and is called "Old Favorite; Honey Recipes." We have more suggestions which we'll give you next week.
