Save Sugar, Asks Hoover, So
French May Not Be Without

Washington, Sept 23.-Food Admin
istrator Hervert Hoover appealed to
the American people tonight to reduce
their consumption of sweets to leave
a share for their French allies, who
are facing the prospect of two months
entirely without sugar.
1--WE have received a request from
the French government" Mr.. Hoover
said, that we allow them to export
from the United States 1OO, 1000 tons OF
sugar during the next month and prob.
ably more at later period.
"Our own situation is that we have
just sufficient sugar to maintain our
normal consumption until the first of
January, when the raw West India
crop becomes available to all.
"Our consumption is at the rate of
80 pounds per person per year-a lit
tie under four ounces per day per
person.
'The French people are on ration
of sugar equal to only Il pounds per
annum per persOn-or at the rate of
less than one single ounce per day
per persona little more than the
weight of silver dollar each day.
"The English and Italian rations are
also not over one ounce per day.
i, "The French people will be entirely
without sugar for over two months if
we refuse to part with enough of our
stocks to keep them supplied.
"Sugar even to greater amount
than the French ration is human
necessity. If our people will reduce
by one-third their purchases and con-
sumption of candy and of sugar for
other uses than preserving fruits,
which we do not wish to interfere
with, we can save the French situa-
ton.
1T is unthinkable that we refuse
their request"

about so feet away, to represent the
enemy; trenches. -. :. o..
The practice grenades are non-ex-
plOsive, but are of the same weight
and size as those used by the allies.
Long, rangy fellows prove to be the
best throwers, as their greater reach
helps them to develop the sweeping
overhead throw that experienced gren.
adiers use.

AS the time approaches for the open

lectual and moral conditions" There

ments of national service.
Several notable exhibits are being
assembled for the convention. An es-
pecially attractive one will be furnish
ed by the Arts and Crafts department,
of which Mrs. E. F. Chandler of Grand
Forks is chairman. It will feature the
work OF the Ceramic department Of
the university, and show what can be
done with our native clays. Wonder
full results have been obtained, and the
exhibit will contain some rare pieces
OF pottery in great variety of shapes
and colors. There will also be Red
Cross scrap books, compiled by club
women, to strike the patriotic note.
Mrs. Robert Devine of Wahpeton,
will preside at Tuesday evenings SEES
sion. Mrs. Devine is chairman of the
department of public health. DR.. J. W.
Cox of the university is one of the
speakers. He will talk on North Da-
kota's New Public Health Service,
illustrating his lecture with stereop-
tican views. Miss Mable Fodness, 81

educational feature of the convention.

Red Cross Instruction
on Surgical Dressing

Five hundred thousand manuals on
the making OF surgical dressings are
being sent out from national headuual,
tiers to Red Cross chapters throughout
the country. The manual was pTepar-
ed by DR.. John A Hartwell and a
committee of surgeons, nurses and lay
workers on the basis of the most re-
cent hospital experience both in this
, country and in the war zone. Com
plete directions are given for making
, the % standard and special dressings
now authorized for shipment to base
hospitals in France.
The manual takes the place of prev.
ious publications by the American Red
Cross, and the National surgical Dress
lngs committee, which is now a ma
tional auxiliary of the Red Cross. The
high standards maintained in the last
three years, before the demands for
dressings ran up to many millions,
have not been relaxed. But Dr. Hart
wells committee has approached the
making OF dressings with view to
simplification. Directions for making
each gauze compress, absorbent pad,
four-tailed bandage and others are de-
signed to reduce the Red Cross work
er's movements to minimum, and to
meet the requirements from the stand
point of economy in money and labor
The materials used in making the
dressings must conform to the stand
ards established by the Woman's Blu.
reau in Washington. Samples of these
have been distributed to the chairmen
Of Red Cross chapters. Materials are
purchased by the chapters through the
Red Cross divisional supply bureaus.
Red Cross chapters throughout the
country have established over .thous-
and work-rooms where surgical dress
ing classes are being held for volun-
teers. The emphasis is laid on the
standard dressings asked for in large
quantities. Many of the larger chap
ters are increasing their output by u.s.
ing power machines for cutting ma
terials.
So important is it that dressings
should comply with Red Cross stand
ards of accuracy and cleanliness, that
dressings can only be made under con-
slant supervision in authorized work
rooms. All workers are obliged to

, The Surgical Dressings manual is H.
Illustrated with complete diagrams Of
each dressing, and the use for each
bandage is indicated, along with the
directions for making 1t. The manual
is the second of series of publica-
lions authorized by the Women's Bu-
