Suddenly, in flash, the strange

Save Sugar and Save Lives

You cannot sustain life on sugar
alone.
Sugar is not a general food. It
contains only one element OF nutri-
tive value.
Sugar is best utilized in connec-
tion with a mixed dietary that will
furnish an adequate amount OF fat,
protein and mineral salts. Make
sugar part OF a meal instead Of a
between-meals attraction.
Sugar yields heat and energy to
the body.
Sugar does not build up your It's

For temporary use sugar may
spare the protein tissue building
substances that would otherwise be
utilized for developing power in the
body.
Sugar is especially useful as a
food because It IS quickly absorbed
