> SUGAR PROBLEM IS SOLVED; SMALL SACRIFICE REQUIRED Consumer Assured of Stocks For Preserving—Should Cut Table Use One-Quarter—Manufacturers Provided For. 1 - The patriotic Pennsylvanian will join hands with Mr. Hoover and Mr. Heinz in their effort to save sugar, in order that our allies in Europe may be supplied with that very necessary article of diet. After all, the task set for the con sumer is not a heavy one. "Cut your use of sugar about one-quarter," said Howard Heinz, TJ. S. Food Adminis trator for Pennsylvania, to an audi ence of Philadelphia housewives a few days ago. Surely not an onerous requirement. To the manufacturer of certain products containing sugar the Food Administration says: "Limit your use of sugar to 80 per cent of normal," and even to this rule there are exceptions in favor of man ufacturers who produce such neces saries as «Vjit and vegetable pre serves, catsup, chili sauce, canned milk, jams, jellies, ice cream, medi cines, apple butter, honey, and meat preparations in which sugar is used for preservation. USE A LITTLE LESS MEAT IN YOUR DIET Reasonable Reduction of Con sumption Necessary to Aid in Supplying Gur Allies. While the Englishman has been lim ited to two pounds, per week of any kind of meat, the dweller in the good old Keystone State has been permit ted for the last two months to "eat his head off" if he felt like it. Now poor old John Bull must pull his belt a little tighter still, for his weekly ration has been cut to less than a pbund a week of such flesh as beef end other "butchers' meat," and a sum 11 additional quantity of bacon, fowl, rabbit, venison or horseflesh. Pretty tough for John; for you will remember that he has always been a heavy meat eater, and the "roast beef of old England" is famous around the world. But John Bu>l is at war and we are fighting with liim, shoulder to shoul der. In the matter of food, we are better off than he; it is our good for tune, not our right, in this world cri sis. We would have no real cause to complain if we were compelled to take pot-luck* with him. How much less cause, therefore, for any American to quibble or whine when the Food Ad ministration asks him to cut down his consumption of meat a little —just rea sonably —to meet the demand for shipment abroad to hungry John, who right now has mighty little of his fa vorite food and who, as our ally in arms and messmate, is entitled to this , slight consideration? Meat once a day is enough for most of us. Smaller portions and less "heavy feeding" would make most men and women healthier, wealthier and happier. In this country right now the supplies of other food than wheat, meat and sugar are greater than ever before in history. Utilize this condition of abundance to aid our Allies and save the world from the domination of the Hun. Battles in Kitchens. The most momentous battles of the "Great War" will be fought and won in American kitchens. The American woman has in her keeping the desti nies of the world and will fight the decisive conflict for a free earth. In her own kitchen with no other uni form than the kitchen apron and sur rounded by iter little ones she will "go over the top" to victory. Barberry is a Hun— Kill It. The tall barberry is an enemy of the United States, because it is an enemy of wheat. Wheat rust is spread with the pollen from the barberry flower. Dig out the barberry by the roots be fore it has time to bloom. This is one way to fight the Hun. No wheat to be used in manufactur ing for anything but food. Cut down the consumption of wheat by at least one-haif. For the housewife who desires to i lay away preserved or canned food ■ supplies against the future, special dispensations have been made. A i simple system of sugar certificates enable her to obtain sugar in 25-pound f lots from her regular grocer for such purposes, as well as the usual supply for current table and cookery use, in lots of 2 to 5 pounds at a purchase for residents of towns and cities and in 5 to 10 pound lots for country dwellers. To obtain these small cur rent supplies no certificate is requir- j I ed. There is plenty of sugar in Cuba and Hawaii, but enough ships to trans port it all cannot be had, but your j Uncle Sam has arranged to give the American public 80 per cent of the us i ual amount and that's enough. Just "do your bit" in this sugar matter — the little bit the government asks of you—and the problem will be solved, i Save a teaspoonful here and a table- j spoonful there, and help to whip the Hun. WOMEN'S RESERVES CALLED TO COLORS In Garden and Kitchen They Must Beck Up the Fighters in the First Line. In this {rreat crisis of the world's j history it is necessary that women live greatly. At the battle front they have performer! prodigies of valor and have been decorated with the Cross of j War for heroism under fire. The i American woman, too, would like to drive an ambulance and bring out the wounded under shell fire; but tihe ; work behind the lines is even more important. It is not the single act j of heroism that will win the fight, hut I the steady sticking to the job. It is not a new task to which the I woman is called, but the age-old task ! of feeding the family. Like the tri- I bal wohien of old, we have sent forth our men and children to war, and we ! must take up the great first task of fending for the family. But unlike thai tribal woman, whose horizon was bounded by the tribal hunting ground, our horizon is the world. Our family that must be fed is made up of the ! great nations whose armies united un- j der a single leader are facing the enemy.' For those women who have ' eyes to see this is the coming back into a lost kingdom. This year's campaign is a struggle ot reserve against reserve; America ' Is the last reserve; in overwhelming numbers our forces are being moved to the front; and behind the lines the 1 women are asked to bring up their last ! reserves of energy and intelligence in , the practical carrying out of food orders. The food situation must steadily de generate as long as the war lasts. It ; is therefore of prime importance to ; add every item to the total production. No woman with a foot of growing j space at her disposal can afford to be 1 merely a destroyer of rations, a de pendent on the food supplies of a starving world. The Allied nations . look to America for food. One object j ( of the Food Administration is to bring as much food as possible under ■ control and distribute these supplies | where they are most needed. America is today the careful guar- j dian of the needs of the world. As j < the Food Administration anxiously j counts the dwindling bushels of wheat. < if asks of every woman. "To what M extent can you make your home inde- < pendent of th s common store?" How many potatoes and how manv < A beans will you need? How many jars \ of tomatoes and how many of peach- :< es? Sit down with pencil and paper \ and make a definite plan, remember- i ( ing that every woman's real war work < is to make the home pantry as inde- ' pendent as possible of the world pan- i! try. Take stock of what you used j during • the winter and of what you « have left on hand. Make an estimate \ of your grocery orders for the past |< winter and plan this year to reduce J these to a minimum by substituting j< your own products. For instance, for 'j sugar, substitute sorghum syrup and : 1 honey if they are available; for can- ! dy, home-made crystallized fruits and i fruit pastes; for raisins, dried cher-j] lies: for tropical fruits, native fruits; ! for Brazil nuts, walnuts and hickory j nuts; for canned meats, home canned ;< meats; for shipped breadstuffs, neigh- 1 \ borhood meals and flours. ( To sum it all up—stop eating freight. \ Transportation is the greatest prob- < lent of the war and shipping space the <' most precious thing in all the world. Above all, don't eat from the pantry of the hungry Allies. With a little S planning and much hard work you can !' till your pantry with home-grown S foods. ]» Now is the hour qf our testing.
