Importance Of Sugar.

Sugar, states a medical authority, is
CT all the foods the quickest source Of
energy. and almost the cheapest. Only
the cereals in their coarsest form offer
more nourishment for the same ex-
penditure. In no other food has ma
t,Ire stored up nourishment In form
SO near that which the human body
can utilize 1t. A spoonful of sugar is
actually transformed into body energy
in half an hour and less. This quick
efficiency has been found useful BY
athletes and by soldiers on forced
marches. Pound for pound, sugar gives
higher fuel value or working power
TO the muscles than do beans or peas
or the cereals when sold In the break
fast-food forms.
