BEET
SUGAR WILDE
REDUCED OCT. |

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 10 Beer
suga. is due to drop nearly cent a
pound in price by October |.
Producers and retinecs will he al
lowed to charge only rs cents a
pound on that day. The price IS now
500 2 pound.
Cane sugar is sold on basis Of
$50 cents Z pound, custom giving cane
gEanuIatcd differentiel OF % OF a
cent the higher price.
But only for immediate require,
nents" was the word passed out TO ali
retail grOcers.
The order from Washington that
beet sugar must be sold at this price
has thrown the entire industry into d
waiting attitude.
No one knows even what % cents
a pound means.
The original order fixed this price
at the American primary points,
which prevail for cane sugar-San
Francisco. New Orleans, Chicago,
Boston, New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
1t so happens that nearly all OF the
beet sugar raised in the United States
Is produced far distant from these
primary points.
The Utah and Colorado beet sugar
houses arc a thousand miles or so
away from the nearest. Those In
Southern California are from 400 TO
$50 miles away.
What is puzzling the California beet
producers is who is going to absorb
the freight between the beet sugar
houses and the primary point"-in
this case San Francisco. The position
OF the Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Ore
gon sugar houses is still more puz-
Zling.
Connected with this is the problem
as to how the government will fix
profits on the output, and on what
basis the excess war profits will be
assessed against the beet sugar
houses.
Why the federal government has
fixed the price of beet sugar without
attempting to interfere with cane
sugar prices is explained in this man
ner:
Beet sugar represents about one
fifth of the American consumption.
By lowering the price of beet sugar
the government pushes the American
production at once into consumption.
Meanwhile dealing is in progress
with the Cuban producers for their
crop. England, France and the re-
finers of the United States will all
buy through the United States gov
eminent, and there lis no intention to
pay. any. excessive price to the Cuban
- >.''.'
About 4 to 40 cents is believed to
be the price that will be offered the
Cubans. If they do not take it, enough
steamers can be requisitioned to BRING
the excess supplies in Java and the
Philippines to the United States and
the Allies.
''The government does not prefer to
use this sugar on account of the time
necessary to bring it here.
After the beet sugar is sold out, the
government is expected to fix a price
of 725 Gents for cane granulated1
sugar. Here are the figures Of two
San Francisco experts as 20 how this
will be done with Cuban sugar:

URGES PRENATAL CARE
FOR NATIONS DEFENSE
Preparedness Should Begin With
Grandparents, Nurses
Here Told

The preparation OF our soldiers to fight
the nations battles should begin with their
grandparents. according to Miss Anne H.
Strong, assistant professor OF public health
nursing of Simmons College, Boston.
She made this assertion today in the
course Of an address before the joint an
nual conventions OF the American Nurses
Association, the National League OF Nurs-
ing Education and the National Organiza-
tion for Public Health Nursing, at the
Bellevue-Stratford.
The most effective way of conserving the
nations man-power she said, is through
prenatal nursing and public health nursing.
Miss Strong then quoted figures from the
Government reports Of last year. which
showed that 75 per cent of the men who
applied to join the National Guard for
service in Mexico were rejected on account
of physical defects. Most Of them suffered
from defective eyes and teeth and slight
heart and kidney disability. Nearly all, she
said, could have been cured by proper care
during infancy, and prenatal care and
maternity nursing would have eliminates a
great part of the remainder.
war kills on the best of the nations
manhood" she added Therefore extra
care must be exercised to save every child
not for its own sake for its parents
sake, but for the sake of the nation"
