SAVING STILL NECESSARY Additional Sugar Allow unco Not Mmlo to He Abused. PORTLAND, OREr., Nov. 7 In its new regulation premltting house holders to purchase . three pounds per month per , person of sugar, instead of two pounds per month por person 'am, formerly provided, the Food Administration Is ful filling Its promise) made early In the summer? that If American housewives would use less sugar than usual in canning their fruits, provision would ' be ! made later 80 that sugar would' . ,'pe available for sweetening tlie', caiinqdj .fruits", when opened this Winter. "The extra pound of sugar per month for each porsdn," said As sistant Federal Food Administrator W. K. Newell In announcing the new allowance," is not Intended for the more generous sweetening of coffee or tea, or for making Into candles or cakes or ' pies, or any such lnxnrlcs. It should be ex pressly 'understood that this extra sweetening Is Intended, to be used for sweetening the canned fruits when opened or for use In the cooking of cranberries, apple sauce and other winter fruits. Any Idea that there should he the slightest degree of relaxation In the Bavlng of sugar Is wrong. We are ex , pected to keep up our efforts In the conservation of sugar, and all other foods, and enen to Increase Buch efforts, because the need of food abroad is Increasing, not de creasing. The demands upon Anter ior, even when peace is concluded, will continue to be tiemendous and the building up of the largest pos sible food reserve to meet these demands should bo the aim of every, patriotic and fair-minded person." Great Saving Kxpected Nine million people in Amerl-; ca take their meals in hotels and other public oatlneplare," Hays a .recent Food Administration bulT letln, "and It there that the past American hnblts were ofter more luxurious. It Is there that In 1918 the advance was made in the wheat-saving campaign by which the collapse of Europe was pre vented. "It Is there, that the first point of departure Is taken In the new conservation campaign. .' "The success of the former cam paign shows that no rationing sys tem Is needed beyond the volun tary agreement, and the control of the law Tor those few who may be wunton or extravagant. "By the new rule3, now effective throughout the country. tire hotels are to see a new mark In the economy of food, avoiding all waste, saving all soiaps, reducing their pmtlons to the needs of the public health and strength." In n Nutshell. "Not all of us can go to the front. Only a few, relatively, can feel the thrill of patriotic pride that cornea from direct seivlceln the war machine. But every one of tis can save food. To co-operate with the Food Administration Is to perform tho universal service In which every American, without exception, can help dlreetfy to win the war." U. S.
