America has no reason to fear a sugar famine. That is to say, domestic I refineries and their sources of raw materials are ample to meet all requirements. But local consumption and native production are not going to determine entirely the factor of sufficiency. We have pledged ourselves to help our allies in the matter of ' food, and in the opinion of persons qualified to judge sugar Is a necessary part of a balanced diet. Indeed, the harder the body is worked the more it insists upon that particular form of energizing nourishment which sugar contains to a marked degree. The war in Europe has radically upset the worlds sugar supply, and has affected especially the normal sugar sources of France, England and Italy. A recent report from abroad announced that the Italians were paying 50 cents a pound for a mixture of sugar and saccharine, and even this p sweetening compound could be had only in very small quantities. In England the administration of the office of food control specifically pro- hibits the hoarding of sugar, and so moderate an amount as twenty pounds In a household is deemed a hoard, This Is suggestive evidence of the rel-hative scarcity of sugar.

Anyone having a small piece of fertile, tillable ground and the usual garden implements is equipped to grow the beets necessary for the production of a home supply of sirup. Of course the beets raised in some soils will be richer in sugar than when grown in others, but all sugar beets if properly handled are capable of yielding sirup. A few rows of sugar beets will generally suffice for an ample supply of sirup for home use. That is to say, a bushel of beets will produce anywhere from three to five quarts of sirup. Should the amateur farmer raise more beets than he needs for sirup making the rest of them can be served upon ,the table. When partly grown the entire plant may be used as greens, and when mature the roots can be cooked and served Just like garden beets. They are tender but richer In sugar than the familiar beet.

The United States de partment of agriculture has recently given out some extremely Interesting data upon sugar production in the United States and foreign countries, and a brief analysis of the figure brings out the present situation and the part we have to play in providing a generous percentage of the lacking normal supply. It Is evident that we cannot do this unless we practice economy and. make every spoonful of sugar count. Wastefulness on the part of, the Individual would in a short time represent a national extravagance totaling hundreds, even thousands of barrels of sugar. We are being urged on all sides to conserve our perishable foodstuffs and the experts are busy explaining how this can be done in various ways. Fruits need sugar for their preserving and the sugar for this service, if we are to be truly economical, must be drawn from that average supply which ordinarily is used up in meeting many other dietary demands. The American sweet tooth Is going to persist; it is a consequence of climatic conditions as well as of the physical activities, which are a part of our national life. There are those that have preached against sugar as a food for children, but some of the highest authorities have vigorously declared that this prejudice Is little better than a superstition. And, an eminent British expert has said : There have been few more Important additions to our dietary or which have done more to promote the health of the rising generation than our cheap and abundant He spoke, of supply of pure sugar. course, of the sugar market before the war. In order to make It possible for us to save In the household and yet to have that measure of sweets to which we are accustomed, the department of agriculture has issued a bulletin explaining Just how hundreds of thousands of us can grow sugar beets and make from them ourselves a palatable and a nutritious sirup for the table. Of course If anyone wants to carry the boiling and evaporating processes further, the sirup can be made to yield ft dark sugar. EVERY MAN WILL BE SUBJECT TO SERVICE, EVEN IF NOT IN FIGHTING FORCE s President Makes Stirring Appeal to no humus and not having been aerated it was not fertile. Being a deep rooter, a prerequisite to ideal sugar beet culture is that the soil be stirred to a depth of 8 to 14 Inches. The tender beetlet having to undergo the shock of thinning as soon as it comes up, in order to leave only one beet in a place, demanded a mellow seedbed. Gathering the sugar In its leaves from the atmosphere by the aid of the light and storing it up in the root, the sugar beet would not thrive if the light were cut off through being shaded by weeds and the eradication of the weeds before going to seed meant not only further stirring of the soil by cultivation and hoeing, but weedless fields for succeeding crops. Being plowed out in the autumn gave an extra fall plowing, which left the land in condition to absorb, instead of shed the fall and winter rains, storing up the moisture for the following seasons crops. With the removal of the main root myriads of fibrous roots were broken off and left in the soil to an estimated average of a ton to the acre, and in rotting they not only deposited humus in the lower strata of the soil but they left minute channels through which it became aerated and hence fertile. The roots of subsequent crops followed well-pfepar- ed these interstices and drew nutriment from two and three times the depth of the soil formerly reached, and hence the farmers doubled or trebled their soil without increasing their acreage. Not only that, but the succeeding crops became heavier, and it Is probably no exaggeration to say that the sugar beet revolutionized German agriculture. beets, depending upon where planted, The sugar beet pays a handsome remature in from four to six months. turn upon the outlay involved, and Undoubtedly the raising of sugar depending upon the nature of the soil beets by the people at large in this and the local climate, nets the farmer fashion would a long way toward anywhere from $30 to $40 an acre.

Some were negroes, some white and some yellow. Most of them gave as their reason for leaving the ocean their fear of submarines. When John Ojala, a native of Finland, applied for papers, the examiner asked Ojala the usual questions, and then a few personal ones. Ojala said that he had sailed the seas for 15 years, but being twice on vessels sunk by submarines was enough for him. He said that he was going back to the ocean at the close of the lake navigation season. On November 29, 1915, Ojala was sailing on the Mediterranean sea, about 50 miles from Malta, aboard the English ship Mallnche, bound from Salonikl to Philadelphia. A stopped the Malinche and two German officers, after chasing off the crew, placed bombs In the boat.

All Citizens to Aid in the Work-N- ext Army Call Will Not Be Made Before January 15. Washington. President Wilson November 10 ordered the complete on re- organization of the draft machinery which makes every man subject to war duty, if not in France, at least in the fields and factories. ' In a foreword to the new regulations under which the reclassification of the 9,000,000 men not called in the first draft will be made, the president makes a stirring appeal to all citizens, especially lawyers and physicians, to aid in the work. In his foreword, the president, over his signature! says: The task of selecting and mobilizing the first contingent of the national army is nearing completion. The expedition and accuracy of its accomplishment were a most gratifying demonstration of the efficiency of our democratic institutions. The sufferings with which the machinery for its execution had to be assembled, however, left room for adjustment and improvement. The time has come for a more perfect organization of our man power.. The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclusion. We must make p complete inventory of the qualifications of all registrants in order to determine as to each man not already selected for duty with the service, the place in the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the na- tion in which his experience and training can best be made to serve the common good. This project involves an inquiry by the selection boards into the domestic, industrial and educational qualifications of nearly ten million men. I call upon all citizens, therefore, to assist local and district boards by proffering such service and such material conveniences as they can offer and py appearing before the boards, either inupon summons or upon their own as information to such give itiative, will be useful in classifying registrants. I urge men of the legal profession to offer themselves as associate members of the legal advisory boards, to be provided in each community for the purpose of advising registrants of their rights and obligations, and of assisting them in the preparation of their answers to the questions which all men subject to the draft are required Ito submit. I ask the doctors of the country to medical Identify themselves with the coadvisory boards which are to be districts nstituted in the various the throughout the United States for physia of systematic making purpose cal examination of the registrants.
