In July, when our sugar stringency
began to roach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 200,000 ton a. Jo Au

tVU to 230,000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the Injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of AugxmC Our
visible supplies were ae low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely Impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no long-ar be a mere lux

Few accomplishments et the Food
