When figures began to show def
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that 1t was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
vation of staple necessities, but that "
would be far more difficult to ACCOM-
pltsh an actual decrease in the use OF

an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean. ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tons will be able to go farther afield
for fOodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short rations in Europe are
rOpean ration is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Admnistra-
ton has been able 20 relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This cOnser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
| TENDER and October 995, 100 tons were

| shows a definite, concrete saving OF
over 100000 tons. These figures APP
ply TO sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries and show conclusively that in
the homes and public eating places OF
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 22JOO0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 279,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup

All the Nations Will Be Able to Re.
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowlng al other accomplish
ments Of the American people under
the leadership OF Food Administration
is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved cOnclusively to
the world that America was In this
war from start TO finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
Is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We In America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the peo-
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave US only
2OOOO,O00 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141 900 900 bushels Of wheat
TO Europe. The american people had
saved out OF their normal consumption
121 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation OF flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat.
less days, substitution in our Kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us TO send TO
our armies and the allies 10000
barrels of white four-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST of December our sur

tional 36,00O,O00 bushels had been tax

responded by sending S5.000,0O0 bush

consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918. we had already
shipped 65,960,3O5 bushels since July
L. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the

Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program Is of particular signifl-
canoe, as 1t demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers of
the country.
According to reports of the y. s.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle Of 10,23S,00 head
and 12,441 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January last. In the same
period there was a decrease of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1910 the increase may yield
not less than 1,600,000,000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172,O00 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1,277, $4,000 pounds
an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records of dressed
| beef showed 1,263. 100000 pounds as
against 1,454, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
| 1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mill
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats.
and 1t is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its deficlen-
cy. At the same time there will CON
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

In order to stimulate the lining OF

applied over the throat. chest and back
betweens the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the skin
is red, spread on thickly and covered
with two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat Of the
body iberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medical
ton directly to the parts affected. At
the same time, VapoRub is absorbed
through and stimulates the skin, at
tracing the blood to the surface and
thus aids in relieving the congestion
within
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly thru coughing
sneezing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds-which means
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty of exercise in
the open air, and good food.
Note-Vick's VapoRub is the discov-

is applied to the body heat, these in

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared
IN Spain in May. has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics
as lar back as history runs. Hip
pocrates refers to an epidemic in
AZ B. c., which is regarded by many
to have been Influenza Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881, this country has had five cpl
denies, the last in 18S9-90.
There is no occasion for panfc-in-
fluenza or grip has a very low per-
centage OF fatalities-not over one
according to the N. c. Board Of
Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking priu-
cipally patients in a run down con-
dition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling Of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104. and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs at
tack the mucous membrane, or lining
of the air sages-nose, throat and
bronchial tubes-there is usually a
hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times a sore throat or tonsilitis,
and frequently all the appearances of
a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take purgative, eat plenty of nourish-
ing food, remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Nature herself is the only
cure" for influenza and will throw
off the attack if only you conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, AS
pirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call ply
stefan, since the chief danger Of grip
is in it's weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to
develop. These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inflamma-
