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.

NO ACTION YET TO
MAKE TOWN DRY
(Continued From First jPuge)
terfered in anyway with the work
of the Harrisburg police department.
We thought it our duty <to confine
the duties of the ordnance police to
the necessities of the Mlddletown
ordnance depot.
"When the question arose regard
ing a five-mile zone to include Har
risburg in certain restrictions, we
did not favor it, out of regard for the
people of Harrisburg and that it in
volved police matters concerning the
Harrisburg police force with whom
we desired to work in harmony. Not
withstanding our kindly feelings to
ward Harrisburg police and an ever
readiness to co-operate, we not only
failed to receive co-operation, but dn
!a number of occasions our police and
employes here have been treated dis
courteously.
"Existing conditions in Harrisburg
are just the kind that result In plac
ing a commissioned officer and pro
vost guard in charge. Harrisburg is
fortunate in having important mili
tary depots In close proximity to the
city. It is necessary to have sol
diers and ploice guards, important to
preserve order, and is an encourage
ment to well-behaved, orderly labor
ers and mechanics. No rowdyism is
allowed, liquor is barred and there
is no gambling.
"The policeand firemen employed
at the ordnance depot are carefully
selected men. They are uniformed,
and well disciplined, and have had
Regular Army, National Guard,
State Constabulary training. Men of
this caliber are always given first
consideration.
"The police and firemen employed
formed so they could be distinguish
ede from civilians, and we have per
sonal pride in their work and feel
personally responsible for their be
havior. No one ever need question
as to where they belong. The uni
form tells it distinctly. The lieuten
ants And sergeants are sworn and
bonded deputy sheriffs of Dauphin
county. The Harrisburg police know
this, and instead of lending their
aid have on a number of occasions
made it unpleasant for ordnance
depot men. and shown no Inclination
to co-operate in keeping good or
der."

MARRIED HAPPINESS
ROINED BY QUARRELS
Families Are Broken Up Because of Nerve
Doctors claim a man or woman
with a strong nervous system has
complete control of happiness.
It is only those who are played
out by overwork, worry, excesses,
and thoughtless dissipation that are
quarrelsome and disappointed in
life. Do not condemn them, their
nerves are starved, they are depleted
cf life and energy and no thought
is given to supply them with food
nerve energy to make them calm,
strong and controlable.
The foolish waste of nerve force
turns a cheerful happy person to
the grouch that acounts for so many
separations.
