TUESDAY EVENING, Can Make Sugarless Apple Butter; Receipt by College Experts Sugarless applebutter Vnay sound as Impossible as hamless ham and eggs, but the Food Administrator, that wizard of provender and cookery, de clares that applebutter made without sugar can be as good as the kind grandmother used to make, if the proper procedure is followed in using the substitute he herewith suggests. At the same time he sounds a hopeful note for the future of the sugar situation. "Applebutter isn't going to be a minus quantity this year, even though sugar is," he said. "Pennsylvania I State College has come to the rescue of the applebutter makers this season, through the Department of Home Economics, which issues the following tried and tested receipt: "Take one-half as much white corn syrup as thick apple pulp, add one teaspoonful of cinnamon to each quart of the mixture and make otherwise exactly as the applebutter is made with sugar." Simple, isn't it? But it produces the' right result. Incidentally, the Food Administra tor added this morning, all kinds of canning may be done without sugar, the system being what is known as "sugar pack." The local Food Ad ministrator will supply information and details upon request, and the newspapers have carried full infor mation. Fruits canned without sugar may be readily sweetened when used, and the supply of sugar promises to be more plentiful later in the fajl and early winter. Hotel and restaurants are also urged to use no sugar in canning, as they use a very considerable amount of stigar each year in this manner. Not using it at this time will greatly aid the local situation. Railroads to Employ Thousands of Women Washington, Ang. 13.—Thousands of women will be drawn into railroad employment within the next, few months to take the places of men entering the Army and going to oth er industries, according to plans now being formulated by the railroad administration. Women are to be employed extensively as clerks In railway offices, as expert account ants, ticket sellers, station agents, crossing watchers, car cleaners and to some extent as track laborers. This course will not result in the dismissal of any men, since the de mand for workers in nearly all fields uf railway employment already ex ceeds the supply. The general policy of the railroads will be to pay the same wages paid men for similar service. BLAIN Mr. and Mrs. Russell Kline and baby, Arlene, of Waterloo, Ia„ are visiting D. H. Snyder.
