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. Senator Calder of
New York.
