Things to Ponder

In, Augusta, people are buy ing two
POUNDS OF sugar at time. Augusta
citizens are receiving appeals from
friends in Boston for little sugar be-
cause it cannot be had there. \ car
load Of sugar bound for Augusta was
broken into in Portland. we are told,
and something like $50 worth stolen by
the sugar hungary of the Maine met
ropolis.
When we think of these things we
should also recall that in 1916 the
brewers Of this country used 549,81O,-
600 pounds Of sugar.
1t looks just as easy as taking candy
from baby, doesn't it? But it isn't
For, while the candy makers have been
put on a short allowance Of sugar, the
beer makers are using more sugar than
they did in 1916.
We wonder why.
We have taken beer away from our
soldiers for obvious reasons. We are
taking candy away from the babies
We are taking sugar away from all of
us-but we do not dare take their beer
away from those who want because
that would take the income away from
the brewers.
Isn't that true?

Cause Of Italian Disaster.

1t seems to US to have been at least
six months since everybody knew that
italy was pleading for fuel and mum
lions. A little later came the informa-
ton that Italy was sadly and danger
ously in need Of big guns.
Great Britain knew, France knew.
and the United States knew the Italian
need. And practically nothing was
done. Why, because ships were lack
ing.
Ships were lacking because material
and labor were lacking.
Material and labor were lacking,
according to the sworn testimony of
hundreds of industrial leaders, because
drink was cutting down the efficiency
of labor and preventing full time labor.
Soldiers cannot waste their efficiency
in booze, even when 5000 or 1000 miles
from the scene of conflict and thus en-
danger the welfare Of the nation: but
labor can do as it pleases even while
