SEAL SUGAR C0f!S£RVATI0N
Is sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may or i-
narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pie-
served and dried fruits.
What are the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
' enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey a.*id sirups.
Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
, Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them as ah 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 foi taole
use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or
fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle calces, etc.

Do Women Vote When They Can l
At the Congressional elections in New York City in
March, the first election of the new women voters, 90.8
per cent, of the registered women voted and only 33.7 per
cent of the registered men. The women helped to elect
four Democratic Congressmen. “As a rule women went
about their politics in a workmanlike, almost professional
manner,” said the surprised Times. “It was an event out
of the ordinary if a woman made a mistake in folding her
ballot.” On the same day women of Vermont voted for
the first time in municipal elections. In Burlington and
Colchester 90 per cent, of the women registrants voted.
Rutland followed with 80 per cent., St. Albans with 75
per cent.
Learn to Get Along Without Sugar
It ha3 been done before. A hundred years ago re-
fined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and
you can use honey also. Besides there are 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 used 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.

25 000,000 people of the nation who
have really saved that afnount within
the war period, as It is distinctly i

EVERYONE MUST HELP.
Wars cannot be fought without money, and upon the Treasury centers
every financial demand upon the Nation.
The riph of this country cannot alone meet the nieds of the Nation;
the men of the country cannot do it alone; the women of the country
cannot do it alone; but all of us, the people of the United States, disre-
garding partizanship, forgetting selfish interests, thinking only of the
supremacy of right And determining to vindicate' the majesty of American
ideals and secure the safety of America and civilization, can do the great
and splendid work which God has called upon us to do.
