FRIDAY. MAltCH , 1918.
EXAMPLE OF PATRIOTISM.
If your conscience still sleeps and
...,. nni u aim unstirred by your
country's need in this great world
If you are still a stranger to that
eacred emotion of patriotism which
animates and ennobles thoBe who
love their country better than them-
lf you have been unable as yet to
feel the hot blooa oi me pairiui
coursing through your veins, and the
spirit of selNsacriflce for your flag
stirring within you
It will pay you well to -consider the
case of the nurse, Edith Cavell, and
to learn to what sublime heights of
nobility and service patriotism can
-elevate the human soul.
A rall lltttn urYtmnn nf calm and
noble countenance stood at the edge
of a newly dug grave. Facing her
was a firing squad of soldiers of His
sl..nAlA..,. unit rhrlatlnn MateBtv. the
German emperor. So slight was her
stature that it seemeu -a oreuiu ui
wind would blow her away." And
yet, so greatly did the llfe-ot this fra
gile atom of humanity endanger the
safety of the German empire, and Us
boasted army or ten minion men,
4nt o!.A had linen condemned to die.
Her life had been devoted to reliev
ing human suffering. In her nurBing
institution In Brussels sne naa carou
tor all comers, Germans Included.
She was not a spy. She was charged
with assisting a few straggling sol
diers of Britain, and Belgium to reach
the neutral soli of Holland. When
nrreBted she frankly told her execu
tioners that she had saved these men
because she thought their lives would
be of more value than her own In the
great struggle for human liberty. She
neither expected mercy nor asked for
It. There -were no dramatics, no
bravado, no excited or bitter denun
ciations or defiance of her enemies.
Patiently and uncomplainingly she
awaited the hour when she could of
fer the "lust full measure of devo
tion" to her country.
When the hour came It found, the
gentle breast and the kindly heart,
so soon to be pierced and torn by the
leaden messengers of Gorman linte,
calm and unagitated. With sublime
heroism and with the sweet natural
dignity of true womanhood she fac
ed her executioners and sank Into her
grave a martyr to human liberty
whose memory hlBtory w'lll enBhrine
in the hearts of true patrlotB for nil
time.
She was denied the comfort of her
own clergy, but the prison chuplln
reported that she was -courageous to
the end saying "I am glud to die for
my country."
How does this sonHe of pntriutlc
duty compare with yours? Are you
doing your part? If not, will you not
permit the example of this glorious
little patriot to mako the paltry war
sacrifices now so urgently naked uiid
Ho justly duo from all Americana in
civil life?

BEETS REDUCED PULP
Juice Pressed Out and Boiled Down
to Proper Consistency Product Is
Sweet and Palatable Better
' Than Comuiorciul Syrups.
Syrup without sugar is a fact.
When The News announcod, only
Wednesday, that the thing was pos
sible, a whole lot of people thought
the matter a good Joke. But the
"syrup expert" in this office has seen
and tasted the product uudi It is pro
nounced extra good. In fact, it is a
great deal better than any of the
commercial syrups on the market.
Don't believe it? Well, it's so. This
new commodity is made of sugar
beets, and when ready for use Is
darker than some of the commer
cial syrups, more of a brownish than
a reddish color, but is very sweet
and palatable, has good body can be
boiled down like maple sap to any
consistency doslredi and Is the next
thing to pure cane or boet sugar Byr
up. About the only advantage the
real sugar syrup has over the beet
syrup is that it is almost colorless or
white. In sweetness and palatabillty
the beet syrup is the equal of the
other. It is mild, positively with
out any "bite" to it, and when one
puts a little maplelno into the new
product the unsuspecting consumer
would be almoBt sure to say that II
was the real thing. In fact, the su
gar beet syrup made by Miss Halile
man has very much the appearance of
maple syrup, only perhaps a little
darker.
When asked how the Byrup was
made, Miss Haldeman said the pro
cess was simple, and any one can do
It. The sugar beets secured from
the Sutherlln evorfresh plant were
treated according to the directions
suppllpes by the department of agri
culture. The beets woro carefully
peeled, taking care to cut away the
tops well below the head, and a-fter
slicing them they were run through
a common meat chopper, using the
coarse knives. This feature was not
suggested by the department Instruc
tions, but Miss Haldeman found it
more satisfactory than merely slic
ing the oeets. The pulp was placed
In a container and hot water pourea
over It, and then left on the stove
for two or three hours, but not boil
ed, Just kept good and hot. After
that it wus placed In a press and' all
the Juice and water separated. This
was carefully strained through a
cloth and placed on the stove nnd
boiled In exactly the same way maple
sap Is reduced, care being taken to
skim off the scum while boiling.
This process removes all of the wa
ter and reduces the beet Juice to the
proper consistency desired. Six
pounds of beet pulp made one pint
of fine syrup. At that same rate 24
pounds of beets will make a half
gallon. A ton of beets will make
about 40 gnllonB of syrup. That
many boots can be grown on about
one tenth or un acre, and 40 gallons
of syrup Is more than the average
family will use In a year. In fact a
gallon of syrup a month would
doubtless be a fair estlmnte, but even
allowing two gallons per month,
which Is liberal, It is easy to see what
a little patch or boots will do for
the family. A liberal use of syrup
will reduce the sugar consumption
more than hall, and It Is for this
roason that the government Is put
ting out this Information about su
gar beets. Sugar Is needed for the
allies, so everybody Bhould Include
a patch of sugar beets In their spring
garden plans. Miss Haldeman is
daily expecting a rocont bulletin
from the. department dealing with
the variety of beets best suited for
syrup making, as well'as giving do-
tails otherwise useful to tho novice.
The News will make known these
details, and as It Is yet early there
Is plenty of time for everybody to
nrrango for devoting a part of tholr
garden to this product, in doing
this, tho grower Is not only conserv
ing for use of the allies, but he Is
saving an outlay of cash for sugar
tht must otherwise be purchased at
. at 1 hue prices.
