I¢’s the lauzhter of tle children that Old Glory guarantee s, It’s the saiety of our women on the lanc and on the seas; it’s the litidde honies we're biildin 2 and the peace that evening brings That the {'iag above is shielding, and a thousand other thinus Oh, don’t you catch the vision that is shiring througn its folds” Can’t you see the glovious future that our Starry Banner holds? Don’t you s:e the glad tomorrows for this nation of .the free And the happy men and women that your children are to be ? You shall never know contentment save that Flag is over head, If you turl from it and seorn it you shall dine on bitter bread, It’s your promise to your children tnat when vou re dead ard gone They shall have a wise prctector and in safety journ:zy on. Guard the Flag that flies above you, true to God and true to man, Qtand forever at its serviee, deaf to avery cruzl elas ! {for there ¢ no d eam sou clierish, and no deed you hcpe to co, But O'd Giery in its beaaty zuarantees to yours &nd you. WHEN WO WRONGS MAKE RIGH™. Suppose that the grocer is unable to sell you enough sugar to amount to any- thing—-which is not a supersuppositious case And then suppose that the sweet potatoes, because of exira cold weather or lack of proper storage facilities, are about to rot—which, as any grower of sweet potaines will admit,does sometimes happen. Something is wrong in both cases. The old adage says that two wrongs never make a right, but the Uni- ted States Department of Agricultre files a dissenting opinion. The right of the (W wrongs, the experts say, is to make che sweet potatoes in.o sirup. Sweet po- tato sirup is an excelient sirup. “"Sugar supplies only one subsiance of value, carbohydrates, to the living tissues of which our bodies are composec,’”” says an expert, 'while sweet potato sirup, in addition to the carbodydrates it contains, furnishes soluble and suspended proteins and a number of mineral salts, o’ten in very rich supplies. it represents, to a greater or I:ss degree, the concentrated essence of the vegetaole and nas & much less warkel tendency to unbalaiice the diet if. for the sake of brevity, one may be ailowed s 0 crude an expression than do the pure sugars. siarches, and fats.”’ Sweaet potato sirap is not diflicule to make. It does not have to be subjected to chemieal treatmen: other tha. malting nor to a higher temperature than the hoilinz point, and that Hniv long enough 1o cooK the vege:abie thorougilv and (o concentrate the sirup to a suzar consis- tency to preserve (t, The making of sweet poiato sirup is es- sentially a home ingastry. The Bureau of Chemistry has issued instructions as 1o making of the sirup, aad the States KRe- lation Service has prepared ai unber or recipes in which sweet otato sirun is said to be superior to many other Kinds of sirup and in some cases, to sugar of any kind All this materia! may be had ‘ree on application to the United Stares Devartmenc oy Agriculture.—Everyday Life.
