Butler was certain that Clifford Chapin had some ulterior motive for suggesting that he drive a part of the way to Midland with him. He did not suspect what this motive was. but was rather curious to find out. His instinct told him that it was con nected in some way with the girl whom he knew as Clifford's cousin. Perhaps, he mused the • farmer's son was going to request the young college man to be less attentive to his relative. At this idea Butler smiled sardoni cally. Miss Moore might be Chapin's cousin, but she was so far his super ior that it was difficult to associate them even in thought. Elizabeth Wade had been in But ler's mind and in his heart ever since his first conversation with her. He had tried to banish her from his fancies, but all in vain. He had nrgued with himself that even if it were possible to win her love she would not be happy with him or in the set to which he belonged, but he appreciated that such arguments were futile. The one thing of which he was abso lutely sure was that with each pass ing day he cared more and more for this girl. Under such conditions it was irk some to feel that a man like Clif FOR INDIGESTION 11. C.

To be sure, such a claim was only an accidental one. Tet But ler chafed at it. Therefore, it was with a 6tart of relief—which his companion mistook for consternation—that he heard Clif ford announce that Lizzie Moore was not his cousin. He did not make this statement until he had driven to the Pour Cor ners, at which John Butler had plan ned to leave him and the car and walk home. During the three miles before the pair in the automobile reached the spot designated Clifford had talked rapidly about himself and his busi ness projects, his friends and his amusements—in short about almost everything that he knew except the subject which just now was upper most in his mind. Butler listened, making only an occasional comment, determined not to question his companion, but to force him to introduce the "business matter" to which he had referred earlier in the evening. At last, as they approached the Junction of the four roads, Butler reminded the driver that his part of the trip was ended. "I am going to get out now," he said, "and walk back home. So please stop right here." "All right. Clifford assented, ap plying the brakes. "But first I have something to tell you." "Hurry up. then." Butler suggested. Clifford brought the car to a dead stop before he made his momentous announcement. His air of having something of great significance to im part irritated his companion. "Well, what do you want to say?" Butler demanded, brusquely, turning so that he faced the man seated by him. "The girl you met at the farm is not my cousin." Clifford anpounced. solemnly. At Butler's start of genuine aston ishment and relief he repeated his assertion. "No, she's not my cousin. More over, her name is not 'Lizzie Moore." " His manner was so portentous that Butler laughed aloud. "Well, what of that?" he scoffed. "I am glad It is not her name, i think 'Lizzie Moore' is an ugly name, anyway." Te was not as indifferent as he sounded. He longed to ask who the girl was. A Swift Attack But he trould not discuss her with this man. Instead, he started to get out of the car. "If that's all you wanted to say you went to a great deal of trouble to say it." he commented carelessly. "I will say good-night now! And." with a calmness that infuriated tht farmer's son. "I might add that it was hardly worth while to bring me all this distance to tell me such a trifle as that. Nevertheless. I will have a good walk back—and it will do me good!"

(To Be Continued) I I How Many Kinds of Sugar A re There? When you say sugar, you mean that white crystalline material which ; comes originally from the sugar cane !or the sugar beet. And that sub- ; stance is a pure sugar. But it is not the only sugar, by any means. If you were a chemist you would call that sugar "sucrose." and you \ would remark quite casually that of j | course there are other sugars. I I Some of these otoer sugars are j j"glucose" or "dextrose" or "grape j sugar;" "fructose" or "levulose" or j "fruit sugar;" "lactose" or "milk 1 j sugar;" and "maltose" or "malt j sugar." Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar and maple sirup, corn sirup and many other sirups contain one or more of these "other sugars." In this sense, all the sugar substitutes are not really substitutes at all, but are sugars just as cane sugar is sugar. | All fruits contain sugar of one kind jor another. Dried fruits —prunes, figs, apricots, dates—contain a great ! deal of sugar. They can be used by j themselves as sources of for | home fighters. ■ All these sugars have a very high I food value. That is the second fact |to keep in mind. They are energy ; foods and of particular value in that i they act very rapidly in producing energy for the body to use. j Sugars are not all alike. Some of j them are more complex than others. , But. in the end, they all break down i into one of the simple sugars like i "glucose," "fructose" or "galactose." i MRS.

It has disproved most of the libels that the reactionaries have been repeating about them. And now that women have grasped their tremendous responsibilities tilling the soil, working in munition plants, handling traffic on street rail roads it is almost incredible that only twp years have elapsed since Justice Shearn handed down his mo mentous decision regarding the rights of women to their children. He said that "The right of a mother to the custody of her children is at least equal to that of a father." The occasion of this decision was a suit by a clergyman who sought to take the last remaining child from his wife on the grounds of "His para mount. right as a rather," The reverend gentleman had based his claim on a decision of Black stone's, rendered in 1842, that: "The very being and legal existence of a woman is suspended during marriage, is consolidated in that of her hus band" In handing down his decision, two years ago. Justice Shearn said that the world had moved since 1842. And moved it had. But during the past year, or since we have declared war. it has torn along with breathless speed, leaving out worn prejudices to flutter in space like dead leaves. Justice Shearn, in disposing of the "paramount right" claim, said that: "The only basis for the father's al leged superior right is his obligation to support his children." This basis "disappears when one considerer what the mother gives to her children in suffering, self-sacrifice and devotion." Since then the war has compelled women to be both father and mother to their children. In their heroic efforts to release their husbands for war service, and at the same time to keep the home going for their children, the women of to-day have shown unprecedented fortitude. Booking back over the first year of the war, the new fields of indus try for women lie in the munition fac tories. street cars and subways, ele vator operatives, farming irt all its branches, nuessenger service, and in some parts V>f the country as team sters. chauffeurs and lumberjacks. This would seem to dispose of that venerable fallacy that all women were more or less invalids, and if they should happen to walk a couple of blocks to a ballot box on election day to deposit a ballot dire results to their health were apt to follow. No More Sacred Sphere We hear no more from the reac tionaires of woman's sacred sphere being the home. On the contrary, we are ur<red. "If vou have a spark of conscience' or patriotism, get to work; go out and do your bit." A recent investigation as to con ditions, wages, etc.. of women em ploved on the surface railroads in New York City brought out the fact that a number of them had asked for "night runs," as it left the day free for other occupations, and wo men- conductors with children pleaded that they preferred the "night runs," so that they might look after their children, cook and wash for them during the day. It is to be hoped that the enthu siasm of the woman recruit in these new fields of endeavor, and her desire not to be found wanting, may not carry her too far on the road to martyrdom. That she may learn to temper industry with prudence and work with rest. And what of our heroic sisters in France, working in munition fac tories all day and taking fifteen min utes off at regular intervals to nurse their babies! For, curiously enough, the creche, or day nursery, seems to be part of every munition plant in France. The French women, formerly the svmbol of everything that-was dainty, finished, feminine has become a grimy demon of work, as she labors ten and eleven hours daily, forging shells for the destruction of the Boche. Without the unflagging industry of the French women, our armies Could FASHION'S FORECAST (By Annabel Worthlngton) • Cool and sensible for summer is thi* HHk little Dutch suit, which is suitable for the Cy small boy up to eight years.

Address your letter to Fashion Department, Tele j graph, Harrisburg, Pa. never have stopped the headlong rush I of the Hun. All honor to their endur ance and skill! A friend of mine who lately made : a tour of inspection of the various French munitions plants told me some thrilling things of these daugh ters of France, who perform their j tasks with an all-in-the-day's-work efficiency that beautiful to see. They are from all grades of society —women of the nobility, who have lost fathers, brothers and husbands, and who have a preference for this herculean work that demands so much it leaves no time for heartache or thinking. A Trying Ordeal There they work, shoulder to shoul der with strapping peasant women or the shopkeeping women from larger towns. And they work! No elegant purling and knitting in the grateful out-of-doors, but the veritable labors of the Cyclops. They hqndle the great ingots of moulten steel that come belching out of incandescent furnaces. Streaming with sweat, burned, grimy, tnese French women toil in the breath of roaring blast fur naces. Slaves never worked harder. Clad only in shirt and trousers, wheel ing steel bars on motor trucks to the furnaces, where the metal is forged for shells. Many .of these women are married and many are widows. For such as have babies there is a creche where the little ones are beautifully cared for while their mothers are working for France. There are doctors and nurses—everything possible to give the future Gallic citizen his chance in the world. When the mother drops out from the roaring hell of the munition plant, to nurse her baby, she rests for a little while, has some light re -1 freshment—then goes back. In spite of everything. I am assured that the children look surprisingly healthy. The older babies and those whose mothers are unable to nurse them are bottle fed: and the larger ones have a most carefully balanced ration for their diet. "The woman's right to the child is at least equal to that of the father." We are all grateful to Justice Shearn for this decision. And the judgment of Blackstone. "That the very being and legal existence of a woman is suspended during marriage, is con solidated in that of her husband," I seems very far ofT, indeed. In the I meantime, we are all proud of being I I women. Sugar Saving Receipts Given For Tasty Dishes As usual, the United States food administration expects that many ' loyal citizens will do more than they have actually been asked to do along the line of sugar conservation. For such loyalists the following day's sugarless menus have been prepared: Breakfast —Oatmeal with stewed prunes and top milk, brown bread toast, coffee, milk for children. Lunch—Scalloped rice and cheese, fruit salad. Dinner —Boiled tongue, potatoes I on half shell, peas and J tuce with mayonnaise, snow pudding.

ADVANTAGE OF THE .SINGLE PERIOD COLD PACK METHOD The single period cold pack meth od is a simple and sure way of can ning. It insures a good color, texture and flavor to the vegetable or fruit canned. The products are not over cooked or in a mushy state. Each berry or piece of fruit or vegetable is distinct. The simplicity of the method specially commends it. Fruits are put up in syrups, vegetables have salt and water added. The cooking of the product in a closed jar makes certain that organisms present are killed, and the sealed jar prevents organisms from the air getting in after cooking. Directions for cold pack canning are explicitly given in the free canning maitual which the National War Garden Commission, Washington, will send you on re quest. A,2-cent stamp to cover post age should be enclosed. .It is economical. By using this method the processing is completed in a single period, saving time, fuel and labor. The work which needs care is done in the beginning, when the worker is fresh. It is easier, pleasanter and more interesting than the open kettle method or the three day intermittent method. Thus the drugery is taken out of canning. We don't have to dread the canning season—the standing over a hot stove continually and the fatigue. We know that we have a practical, satisfactory method. The canning of food in small, as well as large quantities, is an impor tant advantage. -The housewife who understands the method will find that it pays to put up even a single con tainer. Thus when she has a small surplus she should take the time necessary to place this food in a con tainer and store it for future use. Efforts which count the small as well as large amounts make for true household efficiency. Use the single period cold pack method and have "a can of fruit, a can of vegetables and a can of greens for every family for every day in the year." The commission will gladly answer any questions written on one side of the paper and sent in a self addressed stamped envelope. Sugar Savers Use the desserts which do not depend upon sugar for their tex ture. Sugar substitutes will give the desired sweetness. In cakes not quite the same product is se cured with all-sugar substitution, but in all other desserts equally satisfactory results may be ob tained. Desserts where sugar substi tutes may be used In pre-war receipts: Custards. Junkets. • Gelatine desserts, clear jel lies, sponges. Frozen dishes, Ice cream, mousse. Puddings, steamed cereal, tapi oca. Cookies, cakes. Fresh fruits with syrups. These substitutions produce satisfactory results: In place of one cup of sugar, use one cup of honey or one and two-thirds to two cups of corn syrup. Approximately the same sweetness is obtained. Every cup of syrup or honey furnishes one-fourth cup of liquid, therefore for every cup of syrup or honey that is substitut ed for sugar, reduce the origi nal amount of liquid in the re ceipt one-fourth cup (16 level teaspoons—one cup).
