This scum is remov- ed by running out all the cane juice through a spigot. In this way the scum is left in the kettle. The juice is further processed until the sugar crystals begin to form, when it is' run into prepared vessels and allowed to cool. The surplus syrup is drained off, the residue remaining is the raw sugar of commerce, which must be re- fined before it can he used. 1 From every hundred pounds of l sugar cane, about sixty to s ventyâ€"Il five pounds of cane juice is extracted. i The Use of“ Sugar i the Body l l Sugar is an important energy-giv-l‘ ing or fuel food.

Beet Sugar In the middle of the eighteenth century it was found that sugar could be obtained from beets. About 1769 the first factory was established in Austria for the purpose of manufacâ€" turing beet sugar. The beet from which the sugar is obtained flourishes in moderate climates and is not hard to raise. Other known sugars are fruit sugar, which is found in fruit; sugar of milk, found in milk; corn suâ€" gar, obtained from corn, and maple sugar from the sap of the maple tree. They watch land out of sight with- out a quiver, and then, at sea, they set about with their work just as they did in the days before the war, when icebergs were the greatest dan- gers to navigation. Now icebergs are friends. The presence of one gives to the seaman a feeling of reasonable safety. Submarines, travelling sub- merged, try to stay clear of the ice fields. ‘ At night the seamen, when not on watch, take off their clothes and go to bed as usual. They sleep soundly,‘ too, confident that if anything hapfi pens they will be saved some way orf another. They think it best to con-' serve their physical energy for a cri-‘l sis.

When the foliage of the dahlia or canna is frost-bitten, cut off the upper part and leave about six or eight inches of the stem attached to the roots. Aim to remove the roots as a clump and with dirt attached. This is the time the root should be tagged if color or varieties are to be remembered. The best time to dig is in the morning. Then the roots can be spread out in the sun and exposed to the wind so that they will dry well and cure. Be sure that the dirt at~ tached to the bulbs is thoroughly dried before storing in a cool dry cel- lar. They are best spread out on the floor in one corner, or placed on- shelves where it is cool and the ventil- ation good.
