The Value of Sweets
To The Diet

much as one should take but we can
reduce that amount to three ounces
and have sufficient supply.
The excess Of sugar is not only &C.
onomically extravagant but may
cause digestive disturbances. If too
much is taken the liver cannot keep
pace with its absorption from the in.
testines and part of the sugar will be
excreted unchanged, which causes an
unnatural tax on the excretory or.
gans and might end in diseases.
On account of the scarcity of sugar
we know that we must conserve it,
but what are we going to use instead
of sugar and still have sweets.
We can, do this by using dried
fruits, raisins, dates, etc. on our
breakfast cereals.
By using less soft drinks which re-
quire large amount of sugar.
BY using recipes which call for a
small amount Of sugar.
Use sirups, as corn sirup, apple sir
up, and other fruit sirups, molasses
and sorghum and honey whenever il
is possible.
Use more fruits, both fresh and
dried, to give the desired sweet flaw

Below is given recipes for inexpen-
sive desserts and sweets, using q

Sources of Sugar-Cane sugar. beet
sugar, sucrose or simply sugar exists
in solution in many vegetable juices.
1t is found in the stems and roots
grasses, especially in the sugar cane,
sorghum and corn stalks, in the
fieshy roots as beets, carrots, turnips,
and sweet potato, in the sap of trees
as the date palm and sugar maple, In
almost all sweet fruits and nectar OF
flowers. Only a few of these contain
enough sugar to make it profitable to
separate it from the other sub
stances.
The cane and sugar beet are the on
ly important sources of sugar.
We have several different kinds of
sugar as dextrose or grape sugar;
levulose or fruit sugar, sucrose or
cane sugar; lactose or milk sugar;
maltose or malt sugar.
The most important of these as hu-
man food is the cane and beet sugar,
which we get from the cane and sugar
beet, but is also found in the pine
apple, sorghum, carrots and maple
sugar.
Sugar is staple article of food
Just as the bread and meat, hut it
has been a staple food but for few
generations.
Its main function is believed to be
the production of energy for internal
and external muscular work, and as a
necessary accompaniment, body heat.
1t has been found out by experiments
that an increase in the sugar con-
tent of the diet, when not too great
and when the sugar is not too con-
tentrated, lessons or delays fatigue
and increases working power. This
has been very noticeable in the feed.
ing of soldiers especially when they
are called upon for extraordinary ex.

tain climbers consider lump sugar
and sweetened chocolate an indis.

The effect of sugar is felt about
one-half hour after eating it and the
maximum effect fs felt about two
hours after eating it.
The amount one can eat without Ill
