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. ' ..

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. ';. '.-
Your subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will mark the

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.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. 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.

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

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.
