Everyone manufacturers and householders
should use sugar sparingly for the present.
The supply is limited and will be until the new crop
of cane can be harvested and shipped from Cuba and
the Tropics. The supply will then be. ample.
In the meantime, the people of the New England
and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly.
Grocers should limit1 their sales to any one family.
No one should hoard or waste sugar. Do not pay an
increased retail price.

THU Increased demand for nuts Is duo
111 tho main to two causes a better
appreciation of their appetizing qualities
and tho numerous ways In which they
form a palatablo addition to tha diet of
tho acrago family, nnd to their use
by tho cgetarlans and persons of sim
ilar belief (a group small In proportion
to tho totnl population, but' still fairly
largo numerlca'ly), who use liutn. and
more particularly the peanut, us a sub
stitute for meat and other nitrogenous
nnd fatty foods.
It has been shown by numerniis In
vestigations that nuts aio rich In protein
and fat and that theso nutrients can
bo fairly well assimilated.
Nuts aro a concentrated food, and
eating a considerable quantity out of
hand at odd times will mean an over
supply of food If a corresponding reduc
tion Is not made In the quantity of
other foods eaten during tho day. The
d'streas sometimes experienced when
nuts at a eaten Is undoubtedly often duo
to Improper mastication or to overin
dulgence, since Investigations Indicate
clearly that considerable quantities of
nuts properly eaten do not causo dis
tress. There Is a popular belief that a
llttlo salt with nutH prevents tho di
gestive disturbance resulting from eat
ing them. To most persons salt un
doubtedly adds to thn palatablllty of the
nuts, but no Investigations have been
found mi leeord which demonstrate nny
actual Improvement In tho digestibility
of nuts duo to salt.
Since nuts are relished by mot per
sons, ute nutritious and may be readily
ii"ed by themselves nnd III nrintis pilat
nhle combinations as an Integral part
of tho diet, thev hao n legitimate place
In tha menu. Those who, for any lea
son, wish to live on vegetnblo foods and
dairy pioducts. or nny form of vegetable
or fruit diet, will almost Inevitably look
to nuts, particularly such as tho peanut,
