SUGAR TESTED
MORAL FIBER
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
ples Would Be Easy Comp&red
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.
When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
tbe fniteil Slates Komi Admlnls
(ratlon was told that It was com
paratively easy to bring about conser
vation Of Staple necessities, but that t
would be far more difficult to accom
plish an actual decrease In the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
nn eample, and declared Hint It would
be practically Impossible to bring our
consumption of sugnr down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
nage will be lightened, European na
tions will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent fpr sugar upon
North Amerlcun supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect, we will have
sufficient sugnr to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short unions In Europe are
not materially Increased. If the Eu
ropean ration Is to be materially In
creased over the present low amount
It can he only through the American
people's innking It possible by con
tinued restriction to a greater or lesa
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra
tion has been able to relax the volun
tary sugar ration Is in ItOQH proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser
vation allowed the Kood Administra
tion to build up n reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane ami
bTt sugnr were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Adininlt
trnilon show that In July, August, Sep.
lemlier and October DBO.OOO tons were
distributor!. Normal 'consumption for
that period Is 1,900,000 tons This
shows a delluite, Concrete saving of
over 000.000 ions. Those flgures ap
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
I he kitchen and ill I lie various Indus-
: tries, and show conclusively that ill
! the homes and public luting places of
' America, where Til pef cent, of all our
sugar Is coii-unicd, tho sugar consnnip-
tloti has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ning with July, tills country normally
uses 4IM).(XK Ions of sugar per monih.
Last .1 ii I v 280,000 tons entered Inlo
I distribution. In August only 'J'.'Mhu)
tons were distributed In September
the flgures showed "JT'.t.tHHI tons, .md
then fell to 880,000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the AmiTlean people have
given their loyal co-operation and sup
port of the war.

Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Sip-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fst Shortage.
In line with the general plan of con
servation formulated by the V. S. Kood
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United Slates Into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program Is of particular signifi
cance, as It demonstrates the heurty
co-operation accorded the Food Ad
ministration hy the in at producers of
the country.
According to reports of rhe U. 8.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an Increase In cuttle of 10,288,000 head
and 12,441,000 hogs, these figures com
piled to January 1 last. In the some
period there wns a decrease of 810,000
head of sheep, but Indications are this
decrease will show an Increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial Informa
tion indicates an Increase In hogs of
not less than eight per cent, and not
more than fifteen per cent, compared
with one year ago, with an Increase In
average weight.
Following I he request of the Food
Administration for Increase In hog
production for the fall of 1018 and the
spring of 1018 the Increase may yield
not less than 1,900,000,000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping progrnm arranged
hy Mr. Hoover regarding animal food
product! would have been Impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September no.
1017, amounted to IKKt, 172,000 jiounds,
while for the same months of litis the
production was 1277,080,000 panada,
an Inerease of over 374,000,000 pounds
for the quarter.

This is a story of two American
wars. It begins with the assault
of the American forces upon the
Spanish defenders of Santiago
in the days of 98 and the saenes
of the closing chapters are laid
upon the steel-swept fields of
France where the soldiers of the
great republic of the western
world are battling the foes of
humanity and civilization.
Intrigue, mystery, chivalry, love,
feats of bravery on the field of
honor all these elements are
interwoven in a story that
mystifies and grips and thrills.
This first up-to-the-minute novel
of the new America the Ameri
ca upon whose arms rests the
fate of the world will appear as
a serial in this paper, beginning
in an early issue.
