President Wilson's Reply.
No peace with kaiserism,
autocracy must go, no armistice
can ever be thought of while
Germany continues her atrocities
on land and sea, one can not be
considered unless it is fully
dictated by the allied commanders
in the field in such terms as
absolutely provide safeguards
and guarantees that Germany's
part will not be a scrap of paper.
This in a few words is the
President's answer to Germany's
pea< e proposal and it is with a
decision which not only fulfills
the expectations of supporters
of his diplomacy, but also dispels
the fears of those who predicted
he would substitute
victories at arms with feats at
diplomacy.
If it does not bring a capitnlation
which may be more than an
unconditional surrender, allied
diplomats and American officials
believe it may cause a revolution
in Germany.
Beyond question it speaks for
the entente allies as well as the
United States.
The dispatch of the president's
reply was followed by the issue
of this formal statement at the
White House by Secretary
Tumulty:
"The government will continue
to send over 250,000 men
with their supplies every month
and thire will be no relaxation
of any kind."
Chrittmas Gifts for Overseas.
Just at this time the announcement
made by the official United
States bulletin concerning Christinas
packages for our boys in
France and sailors in home or
foreign waters, is of great interest.
It is well for us to become
familiar with these regulations
and bear them in mind as we
plan for Christmas. The regulations
are given at length in
the bulletin for October 7, but
briefly, they are as follows:
"One parcel will be accepted
by the war department through
the Red Cross for each soldier
overseas.
"Each soldier will be provided
with one Christmas parcel label.
This label will be forwarded by
him to the person in the United
States from whom he wishes to
receive his Christmas package.
Packages that do not bear this
label will not be accepted by the
Red Cross for delivery to the
> postoffice authorities. Labels
that are lost will not be duplicated.
"Christmas parcels must be
placed in cardboard boxes 3 by 4
by 9 inch* s in size. These boxes
will b( provided to holders of
labels, by the American Cross.
I They may be obtained at Red
Cross chapters or branches after
Noverhber 1.
i. i... i- .. in i
vviui eacn uock win ue given
complete instructions regarding
, the articles which may be sent,
and a list of articles which are
barred by the postal authorities.
Study these instructions and
avoid mistakes. No message or
written material of any kind
will be allowed lo go in the
boxes. When the boxes are
packed, but unwrapped, they
tfnust not weigh more than two
pounds and 15 ounces. If the
parcel is overweight, some
article must be removed.
"Do not mail the box yourself.
When packed, the box stiould be
taken to the nearest, collection
station designated by the Rid
Cross, unsealed and unwrapped,
ready for inspection.
"No Christmas parcels will he
accepted by the Red Cross for
shipment after November 20.
Keep this fact in mind when
planning a merry Christmas for
the boys Over There."

overhauled and repaired, progress
will be more rapid. The

of public meetings, of whatever
nature, are cancelled in the
interest ol the puuiic welfare.

MAXIMUM
Preservation of Fruit With
MINIMUM
Sugar.
The sugar shortage Ih one of the in- 1
oonvenlonces of the war. It is not a
tragedy. A little consideration and
resourcefulness will quickly help to
lessen the inconvenience.
Housewives who have been accustomed
to preserving fruits with quantities
of sugar should not view the
present sugar shortage as a death
knell to their plans for conserving the
fruit surplus. It is Important 'that
these fruits be saved for winter use.
Housewives who have been accus- I
tomed to preser lag fruits with quan- |
titles of sugar should not view the |
iiiohuim sugar snoriuge as a death
knell to their plans for conserving the
fruit surplus. It is important that
these fruits he saved for winter use.
Sugar is desirable in preserving :
fruit, but it Is not necessnry to ith sue- .
cess. There are three things which
the housewife should do to help in the
augar conservation program:
1. Preserve a part of the fruit by
methods requiring no sugar.
2. Preserve a part of the fruit with
a greatly reduced supply of sugar.
3. Preserve a part of the fruit by
replacing some of the sugar ordinarily
used with other sweeteners.
When canning without sugar fruits
may be put up by the usual methods,
using for the liquid, water alone instead
of sirup.
Unsweetened fruit Juice may b*
used in place of sirup.
Unsweetened fruit juice may be
coreentrated. to a thin sirup and
used in place of sugar.
Fruit may be canned with one-half
er one-fourth tha usual amount of sugar.
The sweetness of the sirup in
which fruits are canned may be reduced.
In making Jams, marmalades and
butters, reduce the volume of fruit
pulp one-third to one-half by boiling,
then measure and add only oue-balf
augar by weight Instead of the customary
three-fourths.
Othor sweeteners may be used instead
of sugar.
Honey?If honey is obtainable It
jaay be uaed weight for weight to re
pi: part or all of the sugar in any
fir j. recipe except in jelly making,
rhre -fourths of & cup of honey
weighs about as much as a cup of
iu? ir.
Vc asses?Molasses may be used as
i substitute for sugar with such strong
flavored fruits ms plums and cranberries.
The flavor of molasses remains
prominent. 1
