GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION I Is sugar necessary in the diet 7 Neither cane nor beet sugar is aeaassary. In the average American diet alltheBugar needed may ordi narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre served aiul dried fruits. What tose the genera I sugar saving niiee? Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and nweet 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 tn 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 the sugar ration be expressed in 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 all sugar used for any purpose whatsoever—for table use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc. Learn to Get Along Without Sugar It has been done before. A hundred years ago re fined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and you can use honey also. Besides there arc syrups. The natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did cen turies ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this way. The Allies do it now. England, which before the war u«ed 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. FRANCE AND BELGIUM GET AMERICAN SUGAR Ninety-five per cent of all refined sugar sent from the United States to the Allied nations went to France and Belgium during the first live months of this year. France got 72 per cent., or nearly W.lXxi.<k)O itoumls. and Belgium receiv ed uearly 11,000.000 pound*, or 23 per cent In each country this sugar was doled out by a strict rationing organisation. The entire amount to the Allies In these five month» 23.791 tons, h I most half of which wa« shipped in May—•« only altout one-balf of 1 per cent of our total annual consumption. SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL TO NEUTRAL NATIONS Only TV* tons of relined sugar were shipped from America to neutral na tions during the first five months of this year. This amounted to only 3 2 per cent of the total exports to all countries, Mexico received more than we exported to nou- half the amount i trail. * * * * ********** * * * * * SAVE SUGAR. * Sugar means Ship»— * Ships mean Soldiers— * Soldiers mean Victory. * * * * *********** * * * * * * * * * 2, 1918. UNCLE SAM’S PARTNER CLOTHLNQ ROUTINE. Soldiers Have No Choice Whatever in Selection of Garment». The soldier has little or no choice In clothing and the conditions of campaigning are such that soldiers are seldom ideally dressed. The changes of temperature that western Europe can experience in 48 hours completely baffle anyone who posses ses a restricted wardrobe and who is obliged to l^ve in the open. Yet the soldier in France must be prepared for anything in the line of weather. In the British army, the seasons ire regulated by official routine rather than by any slavish adherence to climate. The first signs of spring aie army orders commanding that I ’special heavy winter clothing, such as trench coats, furs and sweat ers shall be handed in by April 1." And handed in these comforts duly are, whereupon the weather forth with turns wintory again and the middle of April is perhaps marked by a three days’ blizzard and a sharp frost. Garment by garment the winter clothing disappears into the store shirts, houses—sweaters, winter trench gloves and mittens, leather coats—all inexorably return to the ordinance department. During the summer this clothing is cleaned, re paired, sterilized and repacked in bales ready for the succeeding au- tumn and winter issue» The clothes collected are replaced by Issues of lighter stuff, more suit able for warm weather, for in the summer, fighting is hot work, and gunners prefer to serve their guns in knee-high underwear and a shirt. During some battles in the hottest days the men have stripped even father than this, and worked bare to the waste, as their grandfathers served the guns in Nelson’s day. Wool and flannel seem heavy stuff for summer wear, but the British army is old in experience and knows the best all-round materials. Cotton though excellent In comfort, Is said to swell the sick list rapidly, for when soaked through with prespira- tion It dries In such a way to chill the wearer, while the heavier wool, though less pleasant to wear, dries without 111 effect..

(Lfhipr sr fugarti Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less Than Pre-War Average—Cen tral Powers Hit Hardest. War and Wheat. % CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED Allied Beet Production Falla One-third In Rigid War Economy Practiced. The world today is producing forty per cent, less beet sugar titan the pre- wur average. Counting the American, Allied and German-Austrian crops, as well as the neutrals, the U. 8. Food Administra tion has estimated that the world shortage created by the light crop of 1917-1018 Is at least three and a half million tons. That the 1017-1918 crop of cane sug ar was two million tons In excess of the previous year does not relieve the general shortnge. Cuba and Java produce one-half of the world cane crop, and the Java sug ar Is too far removed from America to transport when shipping is badly need ed to transport and maintain the mili tary forces 111 Frunce. In Java a large part of the old sugar crop Is still awaiting shipment. Since It requires 150 to 100 days for each boat that Is sent to Java, the possibili ties of obtaining adequate shipments I of Java sugar this season are remote. i Allies* Production Falls. Tnklng the Allied nations as a group, official reports show that beet sugar production Is less by one-third than the pre-vtar average. French beet sugar Industry has suf fered most by tbe war. The French yield of beet sugar is now only 29.1 per cent, of the pre-war average. For the five years preceding the out break of hostilities In Europe. France produced an average of 752,542 tons of sugar each year. For 19X7-18 the French production was 219,419 tons With 81 factories operating, as com parad with more than 200 that were In existence before the war »rd before the general campaign of destructive ness launched by the German armies. France nevertheless managed to manu facture more beet sugar In 1917-18 than In 1018-17, when the total output was 203,415 tons. Italy In 1917-18 produced 100.800 tone of beet sugar, which was 58.000 tons less than the previous year and 110,250 leas than the annual output of sugar for the five year pre-war pe riod. One of the great difficulties experi enced In ttaly's beet sugar industry was fiuding sufficient labor to handle the crop. Thousands of men usually employed In beet sugar production were called for military service. The yield per acre amounted to approxi mately half of the usual quantity of beets harvested. £□1 CUBAN CANE FIELDS PÍNN IDE ¡wr-n/,-1 l.rr-nr T1.ÍS AT// / //1AZ AJ1EBKA WITH TWO MILLION 0 TONS OTBU&AB EACH YEAB. VER 75 per cent, of the sugar used in the United O States is delivered by ships. There is produced about 800,000 tons of beet sugar and 250,000 tons of cane sugar in Louisiana. The total consumption of the United States is about 4,500,000 tons of raw sugar, which makes about 4,250,000 tons of refined sugar. If our coasts were blockaded as Germany’s now are, we would have available for the use of the people of the United States only one pound of sugar for every four we use. Under such circumstances there is no doubt that the American people would get along on this limited supply without complaint. The United States Food Administration is asking every American household to use not more than two pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic use. Reducing our sugar consumption here means that we will be able to help supply the needs of France, Eng land and Italy. Sugar conservation on the American table also means conservation of ships. The Army and Navy have sent out an *'S. O. S.” call for ships. “Save Our Ships to Transport Troops and Munitions to France, in order that we may keep the fight ing front where it now is and not allow it to extend to our own homes,’’ is the message. Thare is ample sugar in the world for all require ments—in fact, there is a large surplus, but on account of the ship shortage it is not available for use in this country. Java, which produces 15 per cent, of the world’s cane crop, ‘a too far removed. It requires 150 to 160 days for a «hip to go to Java and return. To what an extent the war is now a' struggle of the combatant nations » to subsist in spite of each other is dramatically told in the battle news from France. In the German retreat from the Marne the German soldiers made every effort to reap the grain in the fields abandoned by them, while the French farmers pushed in after their advancing armies to har vest what grain the invaders could not take. When the British soldiers bwept over the German lines in Pic ardy a German battalion was caught harvesting wheat which the enemy had grown since April. These inci dents symbolize the sharp conflict for bread in Europe today. There is every indication that in this struggle the central powers are steadily losing. The entente nations have increased their own wheat pro duction this year over last year by about 10 per cent, thanks’somewhat to the introduction of American farm tractors. They will have in reserve an export surplus from the United States and Canada of between 400,- 000,000 and 500,000,000 bushels. There is also more shipping in sight to carry them the surplus of Argen- tina and Australia. The central powers, it is estimated, will show a further decline from last year in wheat production, while Russia Is virtually a complete failure as a soiree of supply on account of the anarchy, the ruin of farm machinery and the hostility of the peasants of the Ukraine to the Germans. Allied Fleet Stupendous. Congressman Charles H. Randall, of California, who, with several other American representatives, re turned to London after visiting the entente allied grand fleet, issued a statement saying he was profoundly impressed with the stupendous array of fighting craft. The line of battleships and cruisers alone extends over a distance of 78 miles, the congressman said, and there were between 400 and 5000 destroyers and smaller vessels of all source of supply on account of the i night about the British isles.
