Soldiers' Testaments No more appropriate gift could be made to a soldier than a New Testa ment, and believing that many Pickens county parents would like to make such a present to their boys, The Sentinel has secured a number of copies of the New Testament which will make par ticularly pleasing presents for the boys. These testaments are emphasized with the words of Christ printed in bold face type. -Strongly and neatly -bound in khaki colored Morocco grained water proof Keratol-flexible limp cover, em bossed back bands, round corners, khaki edges, gold title, beautiful em bossed American flag in colors on the outside cover. Printed on specially strong Bible paper. Only 3x4)- inches and half an inch thick. Type is plain and clear-self-pronouncing. The four great American hymns are printed and bound with this sailors and soldiers testament. These testaments are made especially for boys in the military ser vice. As we have only a limited supply we can only let subscr .. rs of The Sentinel have them at prew. t. The price is 43 cents each. Whe i ordering by mail add 5 cents extra fit- each Testament. SAVE PULLETS FOR FALL AND WINTER LAYERS. Columbia.-The Food Administra tion urges that wherever possible the flock of farm chickens be increased. Every farmer, or for that matter, every person who raises chickens should provide to carry as many pul. lets that were hatched in the months of March and April as possible. These will make goad layers for the late fall and winter months. What the situation with regards to food will be during the months to come none can say definitely, but the Food Administration is always look. ing ahead, and the necessity of in creasing the flocks of all who raise poultry, either for market or for home consumption, is urged as a measure to assure poultry products in sutf ficient quantity to meet the demands at home. While the temptation of fried chiok en may be strong at this tinge, the March and April pullet. should be cqgr ried over to provide layers for the fail and winter. CAN WITOUT SUBAR Columbia-Can without sugar. Save both fruits and sugar. Let your oan ning and preserving be sugarless if possible, suggest. the Food Adminis tration. Then later in the year, next winter perhaps, when sugar is plenti fuI, it may be added to suit your taste. This year when all food must be put to use in order that more may be seat to the soldiers and the allies no one has the right to let sugar go to waste or to use sugar when its use can be avoided. The Food Adminietration urges that the fruit crop be saved as far as possible by canning ,nd drying. The Food Administration is making. a special effort to provide the neces sary sugar to householders for can ning purpose, but ther'e are numereue methods of canning without sugar, and thousands of women are putting up fruits sugarless. In this way, more may be canned. When epened for table use these jars of fruit gay be sweetened. Fruits will keep fust as well without sugar. Rich jellies and preserves reiuire mere sugar than ces be spared at the present time. Sweet pickles and watermelon rind, piokies and pre serves should be strictly omitted thie year. Ia jame no more sugar than is needed as a preservative eleut4 be used. Cern syrup and ether syrup. should be used to supplemneit engar fer preserving et all serte. Frut$ juices can be sterilized and bottle4 without sugar. Thousand of peuntds of sugar earn be saved by following these simple suggestidha of the irood Adminietta. tien--and the sugar is needed new. Preserve the ftaits, but spate the sugar. Now is al mighty good time to sub) scribe f'or TusiI SE:NTINEI,. You can't keep up, with county affairs unless you read your 'ounty paper.
