SUGAR FOR FRANCE.

Says the Atlanta journal: "The
sugar allowance in France has been
cut an ounce a day, which is less
than fourth of what the average
American consumes. Even that scant
allowance cannot be maintained I'M
less larger eXorts of sugar from the
United States are forthcoming. Mr..
Hoover's appeal to the public to make
this possible by eating bit less for
season should meet with hearty and
nationwide response. A little more
economy in the kitchen along with
a little selfdenial in the way of sweets
will provide the one hundred thous-
and tons of sugar imperatively need
ed to keep France in its present mea-
per allowance. The New York World
truly remarks in this connection that
il is doubtless easier to give money
and knit garments than to deny our
selves the pleasure of the pala e;
but if there is sincerity in our pro-
fessions of sympathy for our Cypress
ed and heroic allies, there should be
no difficulty in saving enough from
cur lavished allowance to exc out their
