One of the first sacrifices on the
altar of war is going to be the ma
tional sweet tooth, and it is quite
probable that southern people who
are old enough to remember the pri
vations of the civil war, and the sub
sequent reconstruction period, will
again be teaching the younger gener
alton the art of sweeteIing coffee and
tea with syrup and molasses.

The Cuban revolution is given as
one Of the first contributing causes
of the high price of sugar. In the
unsettled conditions caused by the
revolution the production and ship

TRioTIsM NORTH.

Atlanta, April 24.--Arthur s..
George Joyce, former Albanian. who
now resides in Philadelphia, and who
is in the city on short stop-over en-
route to Florida. declares that recruit
ing offices in the southern states are
way ahead of those in Philadelphia

While patriotic demonstrations are
perhaps more spectacular in the
north, Mr.. Joyce declares. there L.
nothing like the patriotic willingness
TO enlist in those cities that one finds
in the south.
They are having to contend ur
there with the rush Of slackers to the
marriage offices. although this has
been checked somewhat by the wal
departments announcement that nc
marriage contracted since April
would relieve the husband from mill

Wholesale and Retail Dealers
Say They Do Not Know Where
1t viii Stop, But Expect AM
other Advance.
RICE DOUBLES in FEW DAYS
Hoarding by Consumers, 1t Is
Said, One Of the Causes OF
Unusual Prices Now Preva=
lent in This Section.

Hysteria and food manipulation ara
thought by many retail food dealers
to have caused a daily Jumping OF
prices within the past few weeks and
especially during the last few days.
Rice, which was the one staple which
had remained stationary, few days
ago made a single jump that nearly
doubled prices on it, namely it rose
overnight from five and one-half cents
a pound to ten cents Opinion of
groeers seems to be unanimous that
bel, y this rise has been manipula-
tic, food spectators which corner
ed the market.
Most ameliorative efforts have been
made and the limit of endurance is
reached, declare many housewives.
These housewives have renounced all
Injuries, cut down quality, then cut
down quantity, until it is no longer
POSSIBLE to do more for the biggest
advances have been on the most nee
essary staples.
"At this particular season." said
one dealer, when garden truck is
coming in from Florida. the answer
to the cost of living problem seems
to be. eat more vegetables to make
up for less of other foods OF course,
vegetables, too, are high, but they're
somewhat cheaper than most other
supplies with the same nourishment, !"
Said another market man: Let
fish take the place of meat little
more. The suggestion for meatless
days is a good one Here where we
have such a good supply of fresh fish
of many of the best varieties, there
should never be food problem. L
is only thoughtlessness, carelessness
and folly for seaport with good fish
ing facilities. to feel the pressure Of
a the worlds food shortage
A grocer recommended the use OF
eggs during the next two weeks at
least instead of meat He said: 'In
a couple of weeks the laying season
will be over and expect eggs to
reach the high level of As cents again.
but meanwhile, although they have al
ready risen to 35 cents after having
fallen to rs cents, think it would
helm some to replace meat with eggs.
Flour. sugar and other staples have
Jumped to almost unprecedented
prices within the past few days and
the grocers, both wholesale and re-
iii. do not attempt to make predic-
lions as to where it will end Uany
think the rand advance is due more
to hvsteria than anything else It is
a well known fact that many have
Invested all their available cash in

"Anything to eat" seems TO be the
