iciiTT c::.:3 r;:iD tq Leara to fel Al: Wiihit km It has been dona before. A hundred yean ago re fined sugar waa unknown. Our ancestor! used honey and you can use honey also. Besides there are syrups. The natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did cen turies ago. You will get all th sugar you need in this way. The Allies do it now. England, which before the war used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds per head a month now; France one and a half pounds, and Italy only one. Show yourself a patriotic American and use less than your ration. This is but a slight sacri fice as compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it yourself. ' .. In tho Dcxli : .1 7 - . . . J m 'mm i WyJ German "Efficiency' hat newer reached a higher plane than plainly marked hospitals in the allied lines. '"Here are many allied officers and men," says the Kaiser. "If they were not wounded, they might dodge our glorious air planes as bombs are dropped. Being wounded, they cannot more, and so they are killed in their beds or in the air as their beds are blown out from under them. .-: t v . m "Gott being with us, let us blow up all the Red Cross hospitals ,we can." .. i , t. . , So the "Greatest Mother in the World". remains a shining 'mark for the "Superbeast's" efficient elimination of his enemies. Since Allied airplanes have become regular visitors to German .cities, the Kaiser has discovered such bombing to be a violation of international law. ';.

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION Is sugar necessary in the diet? Neither cane nor beet sugar is, necessary. In the . average American diet all the sugar needed may ordi narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre served and dried fruits. What are the general sugar saving rules? Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years. Supplement sugar, with honey and sirups. Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness. Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar excels them as an energy-food only because it pro duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since they supply more than merely the fuel need. How may tho sugar ration be expressed fat quantities known to everyone? Two pounds per month means about 8 ounces per , week, or a little more than 1 ounce a day. This daily ration is a trifle more than 2 tablespoons level full. It should be Remembered that this is to include ail sugar used for any purpose whatsoever for table - usej cooking; in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or, fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc. c mm' rais:::3 calvzs m ca:y Young Peepis Csi Help by Caring far Yeung Antoiaia Task Is Mad , , p Cm ef Pleasure, (Prepared K tat United Butts Depart ate! at Aaricultura.)

Both countries have been seriously affected by the short beet sugar crop In Europe and the lack of ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane sugar isolated In far away ports. Granulated sugar, borne grown, was being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during the early summer at 10 cents a pound. The price of brown sugar In Lisbon, Portugal, fixed by governmental order, was 11.04 to 1.12 a pound. By comparison the price of best sugar In Sweden Is 14 cents a pound.

No American eommnnloat has mentioned their net as yet ' Tht "whippet" Is said to be able to outapeed tad outmaaenvtr a man. Their greatest use has beea la crashing tht machine gua posts which tbt retreating Germans left behind to hold oft punuers. Tbt enormous bag of prisoners was dut to tht "whippet's" ability to drive lanes through all obstacles, evade hostile artillery firs by their speed and maneuvering ability, and even force the surrender of artlllety. A Urge part of tht Fourth Liberty Loan probably will bo needed for tht building of such land "destroyers". MUST USE LESS SUGAR; ' ALLIED NEEDS GROW Americans Ariicd to Ute Mo Mere Than Two Pound Per Person Shcrtxa May htxt Unto Degbuung of 1919, , Whta Nw St&r Crop Arrives. ; After making a careful survey of tho world sugar situation the U. S, Food Administration has ssked the Ameri can public to USE NO MORS THAN TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER SON A MONTH nntU January 1. 1010. . Increased sugar demands from the Allied nations where the present sug ar ration Is already reduced to tbt lowest possible level and tht need of keeping our army and nsvy supplied are-two of the leading causes of the curtailment of America's sugar ration. Americans are requested to make two pounds of sugar per person (half a pound a week) serve for sll sugar uses In the household Including cook ing snd sll sugar served tt the table. Public eating places, as well as housewives, will be required to limit their use of sugar to two pounds for every ninety meals served. In tbe V. S. Food Administration's cafeteria at Washington, where employees of tbe Food Administration take their noon meal, one pound of sugar Is need for every 120 meals served. The U. S. Food Administration Is confident that tbe American public will heartily agree to reduce household use ef sugar here to a level more nearly equal to the present restrictions among the Allied natlom ( The situation which the United States faces In Its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to tbe Al lied world Is as follows: Tbt sugar supplies throughout the country, la hemes, stores, factories sad bakeries, sre at low ebb; the p reduc tion from the American beet end Louisiana cant crepe have beea disap pointing; the yield In Porto Riot has likewise beea smaller than anticipate td, and tht Inability ef tho United States snd tht Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources on account of tho Imperative call for ships for the movement ef troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this slresdy difficult situation, tho quantity needed by tht Army a,nd Navy greatly exceeds earlier eetU metess we must send a large amount to Francs snd Italy to take tht plsot of the great volume lost through tht German snd Austrian Invasions, dur ing which much boot land was over run snd many factories destroyed; wt hsve tt supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; snd finally over fifty million pounds wore lost recently through submarine sink Ings off our Atlantis const The Food Administration Is confi dent that the American people, with the record of wheat savings behind It having by voluntary savings sent 140 000,000 bushels of wheat to the Allies after practically every bushel had been exhausted from our normal surplus, will with the same spirit ssve tht soger situation of the world.
