SUGAR SCARCE, One of the favorite
features of Christmas festivities, home
made confectionery, has been given up
mis- season on account of the scarcity of
sugar. Local dealers have secured all
they possibly could and have been care
ful of its distribution. The large cities
nave had even less than the smaller ones.
Christmas visitors were asked to bring a
few pounds from Boston if convenient
and that was found to be impossible as
housekeepers were obliged to register for
even small quantities. The following let
ter from man well known in Belfast to
a Belfast grocer tells what the conditions
are in New York: "You have never had
such a request before and l trust there
will never be necessity for another; but
the fact is, that there isn't an ounce OF
sugar in the great city of New York fol
sale, although the dealers say they are
daily expecting a supply, hence my re-
quest that if you are in position to do
so, l wish you'd send me as much sugar
as you can spare-5, 10, 25 or so pounds
Ship by express or parcel post. Sever
pounds of flour is all that any house
keeper can buy at one time. Don't in
convenience yourself in the slightest de-
gee to accommodate me for can get OF
without sugar somehow, Pm willing tc
''do my bit.
