qucstionably one Of the best catchers OF

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR ASKS
PEOPLE TO SAVE ON SUGAR
One and Half. MiIIioniP People in Wash
ingtOn Use as Much Sugar as Six
Million in France

Federal Food Administrator, Charles
Hebberd, Of Spokane appeals to the
people of Washington to heed the
urgent call of the French people
voiced through Herbert Hoover, to
provide them with 100000 tons oil
sugar within thirty days.
This must be done", said Mr..
Hebberd, if the minimum ration now
furnished the French people is to be
continued until the new crop OF West
Indian sugar is available January /.
There is only enough sugar in the
United States now to supply our normal
consumption until the new crop is
available. If the call OF the French
people is to be answered it can only
be through economy in the use OF
candy and sugar by every citizen Of
the united OtateS.
America consumes 90 pounds OF
sugar per capita each year or a little
under four ounces for each person each
day. In France England and Italy,
the annual consumption per capita is
81 pounds, or less than one ounce
each day.
THE 100000 people in Wash
ington now consume as much sugar as
5000, 1000 French people.
The French people are about to be
deprived of that bare minimum ration
for two months unless our people re-
duce their excessive consumption Of
candy and sugar.
1T is inconceivable that we shall
fail to respond to this urgent call Of
the French people whose wonderful
spirit of sacrifice is saving democracy
and human liberty from destructive
Prussian autocracy and militarism. In
the spirit Of loyalty we owe our French
allies, ask the people of Washington
to join with Herbert Hoover in supply
ing these urgent needs through in
dividual economy in consumption
This can only be done if each person
will forthwith reduce his daily con-
sumption of candy and sugar one third.
I urge the citizens OF Washington
to do their full part in saving this 100,
900 tons OF sugar for the French
people.
