ASK SPAR|NG USE
SUGAR HERE

According to information received
here today by William 8. Tyler, Fed
eral Food Administrator for New Jer-
sey, from John NICE. Bowman, chief
of hotel n restaurant division OF
the United States Food Administra-
lion, unless the proprietors of hotels,
restaurants and other eating places
adhere religiously to a method of linn
|iting sugar service they may find
themselves without sugar before the
end Of the month.
Most Americans understand the
sugar situation and are periodically
practicing conservation" said Mr..
Bowman. Unfortunately. others de-
mand more than their share. II the
interest of sugar conservation this de-
partment is making some suggestions
which will enable the proprietor of a
public eating place such as hotel, res
taurant and boarding house to insure
a small supply of sugar to every pa
tron, n at the same time keep with
in his allowance of two pounds per
person for ninety meals.
These suggestions are:
Sugar bowls should not be placed
upon tables in the dining rooms.
Before sugar Is served, the waitress
er he wishes sugar and IL so what
kind.
For coffee or tea, hot or iced, two
half Jumps only or Its equivalent in
some other form of pressed or other
sugar, to each person.
For cereal-or fruit, n teaspoon
full only of granulated or powdered
sugar or its equivalent per person. If
a patron orders cereal and fruit, no
more than n teaspoonful should be
served for both.
Mr.. Bowman suggests the use of
honey, maple sugar or corr syrup in
stead of cane or beet sugar in making
pies, pastries. buildings and all other
articles requiring sweetening.
In concluding his suggestions to no.
tel keepers and proprietors Of other
eating places. Mr.. Bowman suggests
that they adopt a method which is
best adapted to their business that
will enable them to conserve a greater
amount of sugar, thereby keeping
their allotment of sugar for
August and September until further

orIaIn Of apouahboy.s

A phrase. strictly American I'm its
modern usage. is that Of "doughboy'
as applied to an American soldier. An
American infantry soldier recently ex.
planned the origin OF the term to the
correspondent In Paris OF the London
Times after this fashion: "In the Civ.
II war a great number OF federal troops
were waiting for uniforms. which were
made but lacked buttons. So great
was the hurry that eventually the men
went round the houses in the town and
collected buttons or the women's cloth
ing. These were for the most part
hrge buttons from o~vercoats. Natural
ly the infantry looked funny with theii
uniforms fastened by great overcoai
buttons. Those resembled hard taci
Carge. round. dry biscuits made Of
dough- and hence spraDg the word
'doughboy.' which has been kept in thu
United States army as a slang phrase
for an infantry soldier"
