' $ $ f .$ $ i $ $ $ SAVING OF SUGAR IS ACT OF PATRIOTSIM Many Inquiries are being made at the U. S. food administration offices 'n regard to the sugar regulations and the reasons for the new restric tions that went into effect on July 1. For the information of those who are still confused about the reg illations, Federal Food Administrator "iV. B. Aycr directs attention to a re tent official bulletin, and urgently requests that everyone make an ef fort to familiarize himself with these rules and loyally follow the sugges tions given for sugar conservation The bulletin follows: It Is necessary to conserve sugar lecause: We need the ships which brim; sugar from a distance Into this coun- tij. for other purposes. Tlio submarines have sunk ships containing sugar. In order to take care of the? needs ot our army and navy and to give to our allies the amount they must have, which Is less than we keep ourselves, three things are necessary: No person should use more than three pounds of sugar a month, this to includo all sugar used in all forms. The canning and preserving in the household should be done In such a way as to use the least amount of sugar. 11 we think our allotment of sugai small, let us compare It with the al lotment of other countries: We may have three pounds of sugar per per son each month. The English may lave two pounds apiece each mouth when they can get It). The French may have one pound apiece each nonth (when they can get it). The Italians may have one pound apiece each month (when they can get it). The following rules have been made to help In a fair distribution of sugar: Will you give your aid to make them effective? Retailers may not sell at any one time more than two pounds of sugar to any town customer, nor more than five pounds of sugar to any country customer. The retailer will do his l-est not to sell more than three pounds per person per month. Co operation of the customer with the letaller Is earnestly sought. Retailers may not sell at present more than 25 pounds of sugar to any household for home canning upon the householder's certificate that he has not bought elsewhere and agree ing to return any balance unused for this purpose. The householder can obtain more than 25 pounds upon approval of the county administra te . when It Is absolutely necessary. Wo need only enough sugar to make our meals palatable. One anj line-half ounces, or about three level tablespoons of sugar, or Its equiva lent in honey, molafics or syrup, a .lay for each person will do tills (this b to Include sugar or sugar substi tutes used In cooking). !!ow sugar may be saved: By us ing sweet, dried fruits, such as dates iigs and lalsins to sweeten desserts and c:renls and In place of candy By using honey, syrups, maple m.iar and molasses to sweeten des sorts and beverages, making cakes, cookies, frosting and as far as pos sible In canning and preserving.

The eppor i". ty fr n.a to be of service t.o The avalanche of refugees that wept Into Paris from the north of France bad been the despair of the civil authorities. These homeless, stunned people were a new responsi bility to be added to the thousands of wounded men that came steadily from the shambles of the west front. Paris is an old city. It was not ready to take In Its neighbors' chil dren. Its population was already a tight fit.' So It made the best of Its poor hospitality by offering up Its gar rets. New building construction seem ed Impossible. Men were scarce. The mechanic was either manning the trenches or fighting the fight In the war factories. Paris was distracted. It Is wonderful indeed how nobly Paris tried to meet this condition. And It Is remarkable how Paris met It with the aid of our own Red Cross. Unhampered by red tape or precedent, our Red Cross put on overalls and jumper, carried the hod, became archi tect, engineer and contractor and went Into the building of homes.

A with headquarters at 519 First Xa- tio.'ial bank building. San Frindsco, says that the need for men lit thlf time I3 most u"gent. "We wnnt men big enou;;li to have a smil? and a clnery word when they themselves are fagged out after hours of B:rvlc6 for our boys. We want men with big hearts and hard muscles, men who will go to France on a blind tsdgnment, ready to han die whatever job appears ft the mo nient to bo most Important. We need natural lenders, men who are real men, good mixers and capable of ex erting the proper Influence. "We don't want pacifists, ulackcr, Our men go under shell fire.

We here at home who associate the great Red Cross movement with band. ages and white gowned nurses must lose this old illusion In the light of a thousand other works for humanity. In this case we see the Red Cross nrst as diplomats convincing the civil authorities of Paris as to their ability to remedy the sltuatlou, then at architects remodeling buildings, chang ing building plans, hiring labor gath ered by themselves from the ex-soldiery and the older man, all the while working under every Imaginable hand icap, wlille Father Time cried, "Get it done, get It done."

If .Fresh B eef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beef for domestic markets goes from stockyards to retail stores within a period of about two weeks. Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. The beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrigerator car, where a similar temperature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an average of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distrib uting house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift & Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days. Any delay along the above " journey means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packen Swift & Company, U. S. A. Ml
