Dy Reducing Consumption People Of
The United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
of Low Supplies. y

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
Bively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
q total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began TO reach It's height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only $780,
GOO tons. In October the distribution
feil to 230, 1000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
rave been in the throes of sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-.
dOminantly as this reduced consump.
ton Of sugar. By 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation Is in a position so
that IL we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Eut0pe, with the release Of ships to 90
Tar afleld, can maintain its recent re-
strlcted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must b by

NEED HOME FOR DOGS
Kindly Nedghbor Pays Bill for
Abandoned Pup.

Divorces not only affect children,
sometimes, but often they work a
hardship on pet animals. Consider
the case of the dog-just a plain dog.
His owners went visiting and the dog
went to board with a kindly neighbor
lady and made himself an undesirable
tenant in the neighborhood by biting
the children. Then the dogs family
came home and started divorce pro-
ceedings. Neither of them will take
back, the dog or reimburse the neigh
Dor lady for paying the dogs tax
while they were out of town. Comes
now many telephone calls to the city
complaint office. The lady does not
want the dog any more and cannot
get rid of him. She calls the police
and they tell her to report to the city
complaint office and they send her
back to the police. Some one must
establish home for abandoned dogs.

No matter what other tonics or iron
remedies you have used without success
If you are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron
three times per day after meals for two
weeks Then test your strength again ana
see how much you have gained. Nuxated
Iron will increase the strength, power and

Manufacturers Note: Nuxated Iron,
which is prescribed and recommended by
physicians and which fs now being used by
over three million people annually, is not a
secret remedy but one which is well known
to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older
