EXTRA SUGAR
Regulations Praises Pennsyl-
State Foremost in Union in
Unlimited for Canning
As for guests for one meal only, you
are still allowed extra sugnr for them
If your arithmetic Is good enough to
figure out Just how much you need.
Suppose you have a family reunion
some Sunday, seven guests for dinner
and supper, too This means four
teen extra meals As you are allowed
ft half a pound for twenty-one meals
vou are allowed two fifths of a pound
for your guests that day. But to the
food administration, to mo and to
everybody, this surelv seems like split
ting hairs on a patriotic isue. If you
are the type of family who has company
It Is very llkclv you go out to dinner
in turn In this way It is a sort of
fifty-tlftv arrangement the sugar you
save when you go out to eat vou can
donate to our guests when they come
to vnur tnble. And If ou don't go out
much, why. vou won't mind saving a
verv little bit of "company" sugar for
the sake of America.
Till' sugar administration knows
vou do not mind. hecnue of the
splpndld results the housewives have
achieved in sugar-saving.
"Tell the women for me," the sugar
administrator Mr liacon, said this
morning, when I consulted him on this
matter "they are Al patriots Thev
are far bettor than the men as for as
food conservation Is concerned Tell
them to can everv bit of vegetable and
fruit In sight When thev have used
up their first allotment of twentv-flve
pounds of sugar they can have more
and more and more, because we nre
reiving on the honor of the women
that thev will use this sugai only for
canning."
It will interest our women readers
to know that through the patriotic ef
forts of Pennsylvania women our
State stands first in the Union tor
sugar--avIng. We have totaled a glo
rious gift for our own soldiers nnd
those of our Allies for the little chil
dren In Franco and Helgium who li.ivo

what we are now giving them It Is a
gift like this that Is hotter than all

SALT DOWN TOMATOES
THAT YOU CANT CAN
Corn in Husk Can Be Put
Awny in Brine, Too Easy
Process Given Here
Salt down the vegetables which you
cannot can or dry. The big Jars or
crocks can be shoved away Into a con
venient place In the cellar. All methods
of "putting up" vegetables should be
employed, according the United States
fond administration of the national war
garden commission.
tlreen Tnmntoea
Choose well developed green tomatoes,
wash them, pack them In a container,
cover them-with a 1(1 per cent brine
(about one and three-quarter ounces salt
to one gallon of water), place a layer
of chard leaves on the top, and weight
the tomatoes down under the brine
Green tomatoes similarly prepared and
packed in salt nnd vinegar solution the
same as that used for peppers are good
for salads and relishes.
nlpe Tonmloea
Select medium-sized ripe tomatoes
free from cracks or bruises. Pack them
similarly and In the same kind of solu
tions as recommended for green toma
toes. Corn In the Husks
Select well-filled ears of sweet corn,
and remove the loose outer husks and
silks. Pack the eats between alternate
ia-ers of salt (one pound to seven
pounds of corn) In a crock, nnd cover
and weigh them securely Several days
after packing them ndd enough 10 pel
cent brine (about one and three-quarter
ounces salt to one gallon of water),
to fill the Jar completely Corn cut from
the cob maj be packed In a 10 per cent
hi ine, but since dried corn Is better
In flavor nnd iequlres hut little more
labor, salting corn cut from the cob Is
not recommended except as an experi
ment Pealing or Sailed Vegetables
Cottonseed oil or melted paraftln
poured over the surface of the brine to
form a lajer sufficiently thick to make
a seal will prevent the growth of
molds and aid In checking rapid evapor
ation of the liquid The surface of Ihe
brine should not be covered, however,
until all bubbling has censed, which
may be a week after the vegetables are
packed The container should bo stored
In a cool place and examined once or
twice a week for several weeks
Directions for Using Salted Vegetables
Salted vegetables should In general
be well rinsed In cold water, then re
moved from the brine and then soaked
In three or four times their measure
of cold water to draw out the excess
salt. The time necessary for soaking
varies with the kind of vegetable. If
the water Is changed occasionally les
time will be required for soaking They
should then he drained, rinsed well, put
on to cook In cold water, and brought
slowly to the boiling point, after which
thej should be cooked until they are
tender, the time required being practi
cally the same as for fresh vegetables.
Sailed Ripe Tomatoes
When removed from either the brine
or the salt-and-vlnegar solution, ripe
tomatoes should be ilrni, of good color
and palatable.
Ripe tomatoes preserved in the salt
solution generally require soaking for
two hours previous to being used. After
this soaking the skins slip off easily,
and the tomatoes can b used an the
fresh For soups or scalloped or casser
ole dishes, soaking for one hour Is usu
ally suiflclent, for the excess salt sea
sons the other Ingredients
Ripe tomatoes preserved In the salt-and-vlnegar
solution require soaking
only about thirty minutes. When used
In combination with fresh vegetables
they need not ho soaked at all The
skins slip off easily, and the flesh is
firm The color and the flavor of the
tomatoes are practlcallj no different
from those of fresh tomatoes Slices
of the tomatoes may be served on let
tuce with sliced cucumbers

Another Knock for "Horrified"
Dear Cynthia I would like to say a few
words In answer to 'Itorrined-a" letter,
which appeared In this column a few eve
nings ago
HI" statement that no good girl uses rouge
and that he wouldn't consider such a grl
S1!,'" h?.hl" "lfe ' absurd., It la hard to
believe that any one In this enlightened age
can bo so narrow-minded as to condemn a
woman's character for such a trifle. "Hor
rined should have lived 100 jears ago In
stead of in this age.
Come to life. Horrified." and let the
girlies make themselves Just aa attractive
as possible, clod love them! We can't live
with them and we can't live without them.
Remember. "Horrified." you arc living In
the twentieth century and change your Ideas
accordingly. A 1018 MODEL.
Thinks Men Want Rouge Used
Dear Cjnthla t hope you will print In
your dallv column what I have to say In
regard to the letter written by "Horrified."
I think if any man loves a woman enough
to think of nmrrsInK her, U Is very foolish
for him to ank any advice. It goes to show
how muth he loves her If advice of auch
nature will hinder his marriage.
Any man wants his wife to lie neat and
presentable, anil If not he will bo out with
other women who are. Why, if a bit of
rouge will Improve her complexion, go to It.
Of course there !b a limit to everything, but
AN ARMY BATH KIT
FOR YOUR SOLDIER
There's a Shower Attachment
and Extra Brushes for
Massage
FOl'Xll TODAY
1. An nrmy bath kit.
3. Chains to make striking contrasts
with one's dresses.
3. Ilargulns In pads for hot dishes.
I WAS passing through one of the
shops today with a "looking" look, on
a hunt for some things to write nbout,
nnd I passed an army bath kit. I
paused a minute, started on, and then
returned to examine it clOBelj', so that I
could tell j-ou more about It, for I am
ure that these bath kits will bring Joy
to more than one soldier's heart. It
consists of a regulation shower spray,
only the end which would ordinarily fit
over the bathtub spigot Is fitted with
some kind of patent appliance. And the
way the shower works is this: A bucket
of water Is placed on n post which Is
fitted with a nail for tms purpose. The
"patent end" Is placed in this bucket, a
spring Is released, and then your sol
dier has a perfectly good shower. One
or two extras, such as rubber massage
and shampoo brushes, come with It, so
that this is a most complete affair. Ask
the fa'tldlous man what he misses most
at camp, and he'll tell you his morning
shower.
I am ever a lover of contrasts. A
white dress with a striking color com
bination, an all-black gown with a
chain of gTeen, perhaps, and you have
individuality in drebs Vor this reason,
nerhnna. I was cieatly attracted by the
chains I discovered today. They offer
remarkable contrast possibilities. These
chains consist of rings, for all the world
llko the bone rings vve used to crochet
over, and about the size of a five-cent
piece. And they come In red and blue
nnd hlack and oh ! most any color you
I would want. Now, take a gray Jersey
1 cloth dress, for Instance Think how
I well one of these chains In blue would
. look with it. Or picture the striking
' ,.ni,tmRt one of these very attracl.ve
chains In red would make with a black
dress. And the price is ti.za

"Perplexed" Answers
Dear Cynthia Here T am back again
the voung man who signed himself "Per
plexed" and the one so many of our kind
readers have written to I vvant to thank
them. for. believe me. I think people tell
the real truth when they can have their
opinions appear without having their names
signed. I want to thank everv one who
wrote to tell me. and to tell "The Olrl lie
Left Hehlnd." "Brown njes," "Well
Wisher." "Conntrv Maid." "Itouge.
"Alexis" and "Ilex n." that I was particu
larly Influenced by their letters. Perhaps
It will Interest these renders to know they
have brought me to a decision In mv prob
lem. I have made up my mind to ask the
joung lady to marry me. When I read
"Horrlfled'a" letter I was ashamed of my
self for having written, for after reading
the nice, friendly letters from tho girls
and bova who seemed to understand, I felt
aa though 1 waa as much a crab as "Horri
fied." f do not say that 1 atn converted to
the use of rouge t still admit I would
rather see a girl with pale, ilear skin than
nlnk cheeks which are not her own. But I
see now that people in the world do not
look down on a girl's character If she uses
a little rouge, ond If my girl accepts me
she can use It If it makes her any happier.

EMPLOYERS' AID ASKED
Hundreds of Naturalized Citi
zens Forget What Age
They Gave Officials
Major W, &'. Murdock. State draft ex
ecutive, urged today that large employ-'
ers of labor arrange w 1th local draft f
boards for registration of their men
with the least possible disturbance ot
operations, especially In munition plants.
In a number of Instances ptans hayej
oeen mane whereby men In Iron and.
steel works will register In the 'plantfH
ana ine cards forwarded to tho proper"!
local boards.
Hundreds of naturalized citizens In
Philadelphia will havo to register under
the elghteen-to-forty-tlve draft law, al
though they are actually more than forty-five
years old.
This Is revealed by the naturalization
bureau, In the Federal Building, where
from seventy-live to 100 men are calling
every day to learn the ages they gave
when they ohtalned naturalization pa
pers. Most of these men havo found'
that, according to the Government rec
ords, they are within the new draft age
limits.
At one time aliens were permitted t"b
obtain what were called "minor" natur
alization papers. It was nn easy way
to become a citizen, .and was open to
nllens between the ages of eighteen an4
thirty, and only one paper was re
quired. In many cases men over thirty
years old applied for minor papers, giv
ing their ages at twenty-six or twenty
seven, to escape taking first, second and
final papers.
Now, some years afterward, this draft
law is passed and many of them have
forgotten the age they gave. Although
they know they are forty-eight or fifty
or more, they are flocking to the natur
alization bureau to find out how old they
are In tho eyes of the Government.
Men who register for tho new draft
in this city Thursday must state
on the questionnaire, which will be mail
ed them Immediately after registration,
whether they claim exemption.
Contrary to the expectation that local
boards would decide without claim be
ing made whether or not the registrant
was entitled to exemption, State draft
headquarters haB announced that the
new questionnaires, with the exception
ot a sixth class, are tho same as those
used originally.
