OPPORTUNITY
The government is offering
a rare opportunity to the youth
of our land in connection with
the Educational Campaign and
the extension of the Selective
Service Draft Law.
In effect, it will provide that
young men be inducted into
the service and will be detailed
to colleges and universities on
the full pay of enlisted men,
$30 a month. When they have
made proper preparations they
will be detailed to the officers
■> training camps, it being the
purpose of the government to
recruit military omcers irom
this class. A high school edu
cation is necessary for entrance
into this class, but those who
have only a grammar grade
education will be detailed to
the colleges and assigned to
technical work. They will not
be eligible to the officers train
ing camps, but when called,
will be inducted into service as
privates.
This means that a young
man with a high school edu
cation will be given an oppor
tunity to complete his educa
tion at government expense,
and have a chance to secure an
officers commissiion.
Gen. Marsh, Chief of Staff,
has approved, by order of the
Secretary of War, the plan for
the organization of a student
Army Training Corps in the
educational institutions of the
country to train men as offi
cers and technical experts. It
will mean that every college
in the country every university
and other higher institution
will become a military school
during the war, and no one
knows how long afterwards.
The length of the time dur
ing which men will be trained
in the colleges will depend
upon the needs of the service.
As fast as one group of train
ed men is drawn into the ser
vice from the colleges, their
places will be taken by a new
quota obtained by voluntary
induction or through draft. In
this way the educational fa
cilities of the country will be
used to maintain a constant
supply of men who are trained
to meet the needs of the army.
Arrangements will bp made
for transferring from the depot
brigades to units of the Stu
dent Army Training Corps,
men whose ratings in the can
tonments indicate them to be
officer material, and no young
man who shows himself capa
ble of becoming an officer will
be denied the privilege.

War Time Sweeteners
MERICA has several excellent war time sweet
eners that will be used largely during the
shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des
serts and other dishes requiring sweetening.
When a cup of syrup or honey is used
to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the
recipes should be decreased one-fourth.
One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent
f° one-third of a cup of honey, about one
half cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar.
One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half
cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One table
spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about
one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one
third tablespoons of corn sugar.
Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs,
dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals
Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be used
to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and
not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without
sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful.
Preserving demands this vear a thin svrnn inctfiari «
heavy syrup.
If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced
by another sweetener.
Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) ap
ples, cherries, strawberries and black caps.
When ready to use they may have added the needed
sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful
fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as
fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit
gelatins and frozen desserts.
Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They
should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarce
may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and
cakes.
