If you are keeping house, under
the rules of the food administration

gar you ought to have, in the opin-
ion of the officials. If you are living
at hotels and public eating houses,
according to Mr.. Hoover's latest rul-
ing you are permitted to eat con-
siderable more sugar than hereto
fore, Under the new sugar ruling,
IS applied to hotels and public eating
houses providing the sugar is re-
quested, proprietors of the places
may serve thirds of an ounce
per person per meal. However. SUI
gar is not to be served unless asked

fourth OF an ounce.

FINE CHEESE EXHIBIT AT
MANITOWOC COUNTY FAIR

"The Cheese Exhibit at the Manito-
VOC county fair this year was good to
look upon" said L. L. AIderhold Of
Neenah, who acted as judge, "and in
quality was as high, if not higher, than
any exhibit Of it's size I ever saw at a
county fair"
Longhorn and young American
cheese were featured, and prizes were
given to Twin and-Dairy cheese and
Creamery and Dairy butter.
At a time when the public is being
exhorted to eat dairy products, the
attractiveness of such exhibits fur
theirs the work of the Wisconsin Food
Administration. The many varieties
of cheese are advertised, and the rea-
sonableness Of its cost in comparison
with meats is demonstrated.
at is a fair general estimate that a
given amount Of money spent for
American cheese at ordinary prices
will buy about twice as much food as
it would if spent for meat" claims
DR.. Sherman, professor of Food Chem
istry at the Columbia university.
Generally speaking, cheese sells >at
no higher price pr pound than the
ordinary cuts Of meas, while is is
considerably richer in both protein
and fat"

JOHN KALlMAN
ARRIVES HOME

John Kallman arrived home on the
5:35 c. NJ. & st. Paul passenger train
Wednesday evening. He was met at
the station by the State Guard and
given a cordial welcome. He was es-
corted to his home on Drake St. John
looks pretty we'll and feels pretty good
considering what he has been through.
One of his eyes he sees dimIy thru
and his lungs still feel sore, but he
hopes that in a few weeks more his
general health conditions will be re
stored to him. His story of war and
the experiences he went thru on the
West Front is very interesting and
too long to reproduce it at this time
just before going to press. He is very
glad to get back home and see his
folks and friends. His coming though
is attended with great deal of sad
ness and grief from the fact that he
was unable to see his father alive
He has a furlough of two weeks and
will probably spend most of it here at
home.

| much, there are several little towns
| near camp that we can go to, but they
don't amount to much and have moth
ing OF interest outside Of the Cafes
which sometimes get the soldiers into
trouble. There is just one place in
France that | would like to see and
that is Paris. Several of the boys in
the barracks had the chance to spend
several days in the gay city and they
say that you haven't seen France un-
til you visit the Capital City. After
we are over here several months l
don't exactly know how long it is we
get several days leave as sort of
vacation.
So far l haven't met any home boys
and chances are that | never will as
long as | remain in this camp. | have
met many fine fellows in the army and
likewise lots Of buns. The fellows
work with in the shop are a nice bunch
the majority of them are from Detroit
and the east.
A week or so ago a new band ar
rived IN camp they are known as the
Pioneer Band from n. Y. and they
can play just wonderful. Their leader
IS quite an old man and looks exact
ly like Mr.. Muehlstein. The first time

sure that it wasn't him. We have

they are always we'll attended.

CANDY-MAKING SUP
PORTS THOUSANDS
OF EMPLOYEES

In answer to complaints that While
consumers can get only two pounds of
sugar at their grocery store, the con
fectioner's windows next door are
filled with candies, Magnus Swenson,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin,
explained the attitude Of the Admins
tration toward the manufacture of
candy
Consumers have no knowledge of
the amount of sugar used by the con
dictionary industry" he said. The
Bureau of Chemistry and clever con
fectiOners are constantly experiment
ing upon sugar saving formulas con
tanning corn and maple syrup, honey
and inveTt sugar.
1--WE have cut their sugar allot-
ment to so per cent of the amount
they used during a corresponding
period last year Before this ruling
went into effect c0nfectioners used
only per cent Of the total sugar con
sllmptioa in the United States; now
they consume only puf Cent. Z 1l.s-
averages One-half teaspoonful per per-
son per day.
Would you have the Food Admin
istration close a big industry invOlv-
ing millions of dollars and which pro-
vides the means of living to hundreds
Of thousands of employees to save
one-half teaspoon Of sugar a day for
yOu?"

Do you need a policeman to make
you keep within your 2-pound
sugar allotment?
VIII Hoover be obliged to spend
$5,000,OO0 and hire 100000 men to
RATION sugar in the United
States?
Or will you back up Hoover's
belief in Democracy and voluntari-
ly limit yourself to one-half pound
a week?
Hoover knows exactly how much
sugar we will have. He has figured
out the amount that must go to our
soldiers, to the Allies and to indi-
yidual Americans. If you take
more than your own portion, you
are stealing from someone else
who viii have to go without
Would you be pointed out after
the war as "He took sugar from

your family's or your neighbOT's

DAIRY PRO-
DUCTS Higher

All dairy products are higher now
than they have ever been in the his
tory of the country. The price of
butter and milk is steadily advancing
and the meat prices are also boun
to increase This is not the result
of the combination of the meat pack,
ers or any other so-calied trust meth
DDS. 1t is due solely to the scarcity
of cattle in this country. The open
range has disappeared and the farm
er is now raising corn instead of cat
