Approximately 50,000 Philadelphia
men, about .1 per cent nf the entire

of the war.
This number, which represents about
30 per cent of the number of men avail-"

city to follow closely on the heels of

sands of these men are already In

Approximately 6000 men have gone
Into the navy, and about the same num

els. The leld, however. Is much larger
than the average crop for the last five
years, which li something more than
23,000,000 bushels.
The shortago this year is due to scarc

Tells Allies U. S. Pork

Possible for America to Sent!
Eight Million Tons More
NexfYear
London, July 2,1.
Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator, told the Allied food con
trollers here today that the corner In
food production ana supply has been
turned. There Is no longer anything
to fear from the German tl-boats lie
declared. In his address, delivered at a
luncheon nt the Mansion House, he
said :
"During the last twelve months the
United States has exported 10,000,000
tons of foodstuffs to the Allies During
the next twelve months, with los pros
sine, we can expoit 21,000,000 tons, In
cluding 3,000,000 tons from Canada.
"We have built enough ships to handle
food for the soldiers."
American Tork Is Solution
'Mr. Hoover spoke of the great prob
lem of agricultural substitution, vhlch
he said was dominated by two critical
and related factors, the first of which
was time and the second expendltuto in
fr.vlder nnd land productivity.
"To Increase our beef production
continued Mr. Hoover, "would reiiulie
from three to five ears. On the other
hand, we could bring nbout an enormous
Increase In cur meat and fat produc
tion through swine within nine to twelve
months."
Mr. Hoover said the American agri
cultural population had been urged along
this line nnd has been given assutances
which had led to a wonderful Increase
In swine pioductlon.
I have In my possession the needs of
the
uropean allies for meats'" the
food Administrator went on. "We can
furnish this whole volume in pmk
alone.
Hunger Factor With Knemy
"In contrast to this, hunger is the
dominating factor with tho enemy. They
nave neen unable to produce the food
they need. Starvation rings in the woul-
of the so-called 'Herman victory.
"The conquered peoples mo being
slowly but surely starved. Their loss
of lives through malnutrition and star
vation during the next harvest probably
will be larger tlmn all the casualties of
the west front."
Hoover rend the following message
from President Wilson:
"The American people will gladly and
willingly make any sacrifice In their
consumption and production of food
stuffs to maintain tho healthy comfort
and the courago of tho Allied peoples.
We are In fact eating at a common
table with them."
The conference of food controllers was
formally opened this morning by John
Robert Clyncs, the British food con

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES -
TO GO IN ICE CREAM
Heinz Suggests Honey, Maple
or Conn Syrup to Conserve
Regular Sweetening
That the supply of Ice cream may not
be cut down, Howard Heinz, food ad
ministrator for Pennsylvania, has fuk-
gested substitutes for sugar to be ued i
In making cream. J
"I realize Ice cream Is a favorite
American dish and It Is counted almost
as a necessity In hot weather." said the
food administrator. "Manufacturers
have been forced to cut down their sup
plies to some extent because of the
sugar rulings, hut I believe we can offer
substitutes that will do equally well."
Mr Heinz suggests honey, maple syitip
or corn syrup In place of sugar. Ten
pound a of hone;,, five pounds of maple
syrup and five pounds of corn syrup
nilded to the Ice cream basic to which
the chocolate, fruit juices ot other fla
vorings are nfterwnrd added will make
delicious Ice cream. This recipe will
sweeten about twenty-four gallons of
Ice cream
For a smaller quantltv. a about five
liiaiti of Ice cream, Mr Heinz suggeM
that one quart of corn svrup to two
quarters of cream will make the Ice
cream sweet enough
In a letter today to county food ad
ministrators and hotel chairmen Mr
Helnz declared the pcrvlng of bioilei
tutkejs was a vjaste of food Rrollei
lurkevs he defined as birds weighing
from three to four pounds each.
Sweet corn Is the vegetable promi
nent on the market today, and food ex
perts say none of It should be wasted
The left over boiled coin housewives
used to throw away may be used to
great advantage In salads, soups or
heated In milk for another mean A
few tahlespoonfuls of corn add to the
quality and quantity of creamed pota
toes. Annthet suggestion is to cut the boiled
corn from the cob and place it In pie
tins In the oven to dty In this vyay
dried coin for winter use may be easily
accumulated
