r THREE WAR MEDALS BESTOWED ON T’HERO R«d Triangle Worker Wounded by Hun Machine Qun at Soissonc, Tout and Chateau Thierry New York, August 25.—Flat on his back in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, \V. A. Roberts, who has been awarded three French war medals for bravery in the fighting zones, is enjoying a well-earned rest, and is talking freely of almost anything but why the French government showered honors upon him. Mr. Roberts, a Y. M. C. A. worker in France, had bestowed upon him the Croix de Guerre, the badge of the Legion of Honor, and the Medal Mili taire. He won them all in three paonths. i Roberts was assistant auditor of the Idichigan Central railroad before he <wa* selected to be auditor of disburse ments for the Y. M. C. A. in France, p.nd to handle more than a quarte.r of a million dollars a day. He left for pverseas service February 12, was wounded by a Hun machine gun at Poissons, rescued a “Y” secretary amid | a hail of bullets in the Tout sector and was touched up by German marks puanship again at Chateau Thierry. y.m.cXneedsmen IN SOUTHERN CAMPS While Red Triangle Continues to Cali for Overseas Workers, 1,000 Are Wanted for Home Service Atlanta, Ga., August 25. —Men en dowed with the element of leadership are needed by the Army and Navy |Y. M. C. A. to serve in the camps of the Southeast. Dr. V* W. Alexander, general re cruiting secretary for the War Per ponnel Board of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council, declares that there is a pressing need for home service, and that this affords a splend .1 opportun ity to the man of middle age who is pot able to go abroad under the Red Triangle. "The Y. M. C. A. needs men for pverseas service, of course, but the home camps must not be forgotten,” explained Dr. Alexander. “From now on until the first of the year the Southeast must recruit 1,000 men for the home camps. This means that each state will be called upon to fur nish 25 men per month per state to serve the soldiers in camps such as Gordon, Jackson, Wheeler and the others. The constant growth of the home cantonments and the growing demand for the Y. M. C. A. work makes it necessary to recruit “Y” workers for this side.” Judge Frank Harwell Candidate for Re-electicn. Atlanta, Ga., August 17. — With the closing of the entries for state offices on August 15, it was definitely settled that the judges of state supreme and appellate courts are nearly all to be re turned without opposition. There are four of the judges of the state court of appeals in the running for re-election —Judges W. F. Jenkins, G. H. B. Blood worth, Nash R. Broyles and Frank Harwell; and the latter, an appointee of Governor Dorsey, is the only one who has opposition. Judge Harwell is spending his vacation time making a quiet canvass of the state and acquiring many friends. He is not making any speeches, but is meeting many of the voters. Judge Harwell’s friends are asking why it is that his opponent, Alex Stephens, selected him as the incumbent against whom to make the race, when there are two judges now before the peo ple who were nominated over Mr. Stephens in the state convention of 1916, namely Judge W. F. Jenkins of the state court of ap peals, and Judge W. F. George of the supreme court, who was for merly on the court of appeals bench. They take the position that if Mr. Stephens wanted vin dication in connection with the action of the convention, he should have run against one of the candidates who was put over him by the convention to whose action he objected. However, Mr. Stephens selec ted Judge Harwell and the race is on. It promises to be an in teresting one, even though quiet. Judge Harwell’s friends are pre dicting his election by a large majority. ‘‘Chalmers —buy a Chalmers - the best six cylinder car on the market—from E.

No household should have on hand more than two pounds of sugar at any one time for table and cooking use and not more than twenty-live pounds for canning. 2. Canning sugar must lie kept separate from that purchased for household purposes. Check up the quanUty on hand, the amount of fruit put up and compare it with the original amount purchased. Any excess canning sugar left over MUST be returned to the grocer. It is not permitted to use this for table purposes. 3. Do all preserving without sugar wherever possible, adding It when used in the winter or at a time when sugar will be more plentiful. 4. Each person in a family is allowed two pounds of sugar per month, which means that not more than six half lumps or three tea spoonfuls may be used each day by any individual without ex ceeding the allowance. This two-pound allotment includes that used for cooking. For Public Eating Houses. 1. All sugar bowls must be kept off the tables and individual sugar furnished each patron. 2. Not more than two half lumps or one teaspoonful of sugar may be served a customer at a meal. He may have his choice of lump or granulated sugar but not both. A Sugar Kitchen Card Every housewife throughout the land knows there is a sugar short age. Perhaps she has gone to the grocery in a hurry to give a 25-pound order of sugar for canning and pre serving and has been told she must sign a certificate issued by her local Food Administrator. Or perhaps she has asked for a 5 or 10 pound bag of granulated sugar for cooking and table use and has had stingily meted out to her a one or two pound bag. “Do tell us, then, exactly how much sugar we may have and help us to make that go round,” is the universal cry. And that is exactly what the Food Administration wants to do. Every territory, down to the small est town or hamlet, has a local Food Administrator who is issuing the na tional rulings as fast as they oome from Washington. The present maxi mum sugar ration for household use Is 2 pounds per person per month. This means 1 ounce per day or about 6 2-5 level teaspoonfuls. Put that on your kitchen card where you can see it from time to time. Included in this 2-pound ruling, so far, are all cane and beet sugars, as well as all raw sugars, brown sugars, and refiners’ soft sugars. Sweetenings not included In this, then, are maple sugar, various kinds of sirups, honey and fruit juices. The proper amount of these to use in rec ipes that call for sugar must be grad ually learned; but In place of one cup of sugar the Bame amount of honey is generally used, while 1 2-3 to 2 cups of sirup is required. Approximately the same sweetness is obtained. Every cup of sirup or honey fur nishes V* cup of liquid, therefore for every cup of sirup or honey that is substituted for sugar, reduce the orig inal amount of liquid in the recipe V 4 cup, (16 level tablespoons equal 1 cup). There are certain "do’s” and “do nots” that may he found suggestive and helpful on a sugar kitchen card; Do not serve sugar desserts. Do not sweeten fruit Indiscrimi nately. Do not hoard; —buy only two pounds at a time if you are a city dweller, or five pounds if you live remote from markets. Do not use sugar on cereals when fruit juices will do as well. Do not put an open sugar bowl on the table. Do not frost your cakes. Do use fruit juices for sweetening summer drinks. Do can and preserve fruits without sugar, whenever possible. Do return to the grocer any unused balance left from canning allotment. Do remember that our soldiers need sugar more than we do. On every sugar kitchen card should be writ large a reminder to consult the Fair Price List, as published from time to time, when buying sugar. In this, as in al! other commodities, the United States Food Administration Is trying to stabilize the retail price throughout the country and any over charge should be reported to the local Administrator. We are heirs of great happenings Shall we surrender our inheritance? Rigid Sugar Enforcement Information comes to Dr. A. M. Soule, federal food administrator, thut for having served three teaspoonfuls 1 of sugar and five ounces of bread to a customer at one meal, an order was Issued by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, fed eral food administrator for Indiana, closing for one week the M. A R res taurant. Ft. Wayne. Every producing farm Is a dynamo ■victory. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 1918 Making The Old Dessert Into A Patriotic One A dessert cannot be patriotic and have sugar as one of its constituents and yet a dessert cannot be a des sert unless it is sweet and delicious. Our problem is therefore to change the old recipe which contains sugar into a new one that Is equally as sweet. Maple sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, honey or molasses may be used for the sweetening of custards, junkets, gelatine desserts, clear Jel lies, sponges, frozen dishes, ice creams, mousse steamed, cereal or tapioca puddings or fresh fruits. The choice of the sweetening is a matter of taste. In place of one cup of sugar called for in the old recipe use one cup of honey or from 1 2 8 to 2 cups of corn syrup. Approximately the same sweet ness is obtained. Since every cup of syrup or honey furnishes of a cup of liquid for ev ery cup of syrup or honey that is sub stituted far sugar reduce the original amount of the liquid in the recipe cup. Naval officers and their families who buy at commissary stores have gone on the honor system of sugar purchase established by the Food Ad ministration for civilians. Seven Ways For Daily Sugar Saving 1. Use tresh fruits without sugar. 2. Cook dried fruits without addi tional sugar; they already contain su gar. 3. Can more fruit without sugar; put up fewer jams and jellies. 4. Use less sugar in tea and cof fee; you will soon learn to like It better. ,5. Avoid such sugar luxuries as candy, cakes, chewing gum, sweet drinks and sodas. 6. Use honey, maple sugar and sir ups and other sweeteners when avail able. 7. Cut out all desserts or other dishes that require much sugar. Many of the larger hotels of the country are using no cane sugar In pastries and desserts. The Common Table To the average American the ques tion of food has been mainly one of purchasing from the nearest grocer and butcher what appetiOe and in come dictate. Where that food comes from, how much there Is of it in the world, how universal itß consumption, has been none of his concern. He could get what he wanted if he could pay for it and nothing else mattered But when America entered the world war and pooled her interests with her associates, the whole food situation ' changed. This change concerns not only governments, but the individual We have become internationally mild- | ed even in the matter of food; and today every American must look on j himself a* a citizen of the world —a hungry world —when deciding what | shall go on his table. Before he helps himself, he must stop and ask, “What j is there to eat?" and “How many peo pie are there to eat It?” For ws ; must all sit down to a common table, j Not only have we pooled war inter | j ests, but we have pooled food re- j sources with the Allies. Restaurants and hotels are restrict ' ed to two pounds of sugar for every j ' ninety meals served. This includes j sugar for kitchen a* well as table use. j Sugar bowls have been banls from American dining cars—a trar t Is served his portion of sugar aa4 mors. I. D. PRICE FOR R.R.COMMISSIONER Former Commissioner Os Agriculture Candidate For Membership - On State Railroad Board Betieving that the farmers and the entire agricultural interests of Geor gia are entitled to representation on 'the state railroad commission, as was i [clearly intended, J. D. Price lias en j tered the race for that position, and 1 will make as active a canvass as pos jSible preceding the state primary of September 11. J. D. PRICE, Candidate for Railroad Commissioner Mr. Price was born in Georgia, has lived in the state all his life, and has always devoted himself to farming ;and agricultural pursuits. llis two opponents are both newspaper men. For many years Mr. Price has own ed and operated his own farm at Farm- f ington, Oconee county. He served his ] county in both branches of the legis- ' lature —house and senate. As a prac- I tical farmer he was elected and served j two terms as commissioner of agricul ture, and is at present director of the Georgia Experiment station near Grif fin. During his public service he has been called upon to travel extensively over the state, so that he not otrty has a wide acquaintance with' Georgfh and her people, but has acquired an intimate knowledge of the conditions in, and the needs of, the various sec tions of the state. Mr. Price has already given consid erable attention to transportation prob lems in Georgia; and two years ago when the big light was on over Georgia rates, before the railroad com mission, he arranged to have a hear ing in opposition to any increase in rates on agricultural products and fer tilizer materials. If it had not been for his activity at that time, the farm ers would not have been represented, before the commission. No farmer has ever been elected a member of the railroad commission, notwithstanding the fact that the; farmers contribute annually more than, half the tonnage carried by the rail roads of the state. As he feels ho is well qualified for this service, Mr. Price asks, and will appreciate, lh» support of the voters of Georgia for tlie place on the railroad commission to be made vacant by the retirement of Judge George Hillyer.
