Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in it's efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the AL
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half !;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts Of sugar

Share OUR SUGAR
With TIL: ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweeteninn

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
tion enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter of
sugar cOnsumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
il the hands of the various Allied
food controllers
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration Of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-Whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and d
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
clIarine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them.
if they wish to have sWeetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
tion. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
lind it,
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facturc, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
estate Sugar" which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war; produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home USE
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France,
- cents; Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at 71a cents.

BY VOTE OF 337 TO 6-ADMlNIS-
TRATICN BILL EFFECTIVE
FOR TWO YEARS
As the Period After the War For
Which the Roads May Be Held BY
the Government, Leaving Supreme
Rate-Makng Power With President.

Washington.-The House, by a vote
of 337 to 6, passed the Administration
railroad bill fixing two years as the
period after the war for which the
roads may be held by the Government
and leaving the supreme rate-making
power with the President. Despite the
overwhelming vote on passage of the
bill itself, Administration forces STAYED
off amendments which would have
completely modified the measure only
by the narrowest of margins. An
amendment by Mr.. Sweet, of Iowa, re-
tanning rate-making power in the Inter
state Commerce Commission, was once
adopted. Rallying all his forces,
Chairman Sims, in charge of the bill,
reversed this action and gained presi-
dental rate-making authority by vote
of 211 to 16.
A similar course of action defeated
a proposed amendment by Representa-
tice Esch, of Wisconsin, directing the
return of the roads to private owners
one year after the war ends. Repub.
licans supported these two changes al
most solidly. All amendments favored
by Government-ownersh men were
defeated by large majorities. The most
important, taking the limit off the time
in which the roads might be held, after
the war, was voted down, 1873 to 40

MUCH GOOD FOOD IN FOREST
Pioneer Knew the Value and Number
Of EdibIes That Can Be
Found There.

II is stated that Daniel Boone and
other pioneers could 90 into the Will
derness with only a rifle and a sack
of salt and live in comfort on the
game and other wild food which the
woods afforded. While few people
want to try that sort of thing now
adays, persons who know the food
value of fruits of our native trees and
shrubs are, according to fOresters, abls
to use them to good advantage in sup
plementing their foods.
Aside from the numerous edible
mushrooms, roots, fruits of shrubs, and
smaller plants, the trees of our forests
afford q large variety of edibles which
are highly priced by woods connois-
seurs. First in Importance, of course,
are our nuts-Deechnuts, butternuts,
walnuts, chestnuts and chinquapins,
hazel nuts, and several kinds of hick-
ory nuts, including pecans. The ker-
nels Of all of these are not only tooth
some, but highly nutritious, and are
used by vegetarians to replace meat.
The oil of the beechnut is said to be
little inferior to olive oil, while that
of butternuts and walnuts was used
by some of the Indians for various
purposes. The Indians, it is said, also
formerly mixed chestnuts with corn
meal, and made a bread which was
baked in corn husks, like tamales. In
parts of Europe bread is made from
chestnuts alone. The chestnut crop
in this country is being reduced each
year by the chestnut blight disease,
which in some sections is gradually
killing out the trees.
