The following letter from the
United States food ad administration will
be of interest to many people who
have not yet realized that we are
supposed to have the same rules gov
erning our menus as the people of
Canada:
Just across the Canadian, border
line it is Illegal to put cane sugar
women vie with one another in
making elaborate cakes for their
festive days. Cake frosting to them
is a very little thing to sacrifice
toward winning the war when SO
many Canadian boys have left for
ever overseas.
There are still those in the United
States who will not curb their appe-
tites for thick fudge frostings and are
using on cakes and homemade con-
fections sugar which should be set
apart for canning.
Canada is very close to US. What
| food Is good enough for her is good
enough for US: and no American
should allow himself to eat a piece of
! cake or a biscuit iced with cane or
beet sugar. Let him remember that
If he were few miles farther north
he would be a lawbreaker.
Manufacturers of biscuits and
cakes in Canada have been limited in
the amount Of sugar which they can
use to a barrel of flour, and makers
OF ice cream may use only six pounds
of sugar to eight gallons of ice cream.
Sugar is scarce in America, very
scarce, and will be until winter. Every
| spoonful that is not absolutely neces-
| sary for other purposes should be used
in preserving the fruit supply. Re-
member that fruit and vegetables may
| be canned without sugar. In order to
meet all the. demands fairly and
squarely every man. woman and child
in America must think seriously over
| each spoonful of sugar used.
"a great deal can he saved by wom-
| en- who bake cakes. IN regard to cake
| icings, every American woman should
think of the Canadian law and say,
We're with you, Canada
THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is the long lost man who wears
both belt and suspenders. But the
question as to his identity can
not be settled. He is photographed
with his back towards the kodak,
| holding a small child who can easily
be recognized, but the father says it
is not he and all other members and
! friends of the family also deny the
charge. The picture was taken several
years ago and the man in it may be
the original one who wore both belt
| and suspenders, and whose disappear
ance has been causing so much dis
tL-bance for several years.
