Employees of the Bell Telephone
Company: Under authority of the law
and by the proclamation of the Presi-
dent, possession and control of the
wire systems pass to the Postmaster
General on August first. In a con-
ference held in Washington, at which
were present the Postmaster General,
the Government Operating Committee
and representatives Of the Bell Com
panies, the Postmaster General ex-
pressed most emphatically his appre-
citation If the service which the Bell
Companies were rendering and that
such Improvement possible to be made
would be of the additional power de-
rived from the government. He asked
for the cooperation and assistance OF
those who had heretofore been respon.
sible for the service.
The Postmaster General was equally
emphatic In the statement Of his de-
sire to conserve the service and prop
critics of the Companies with a view Of
returning them when called upon 81

After making a careful survey of the
world sugar situation the L. $. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER
SON A MONTH until January 1, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration Is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-nnd the need OF
keeping ~ army and navy supplied
are Two Of the leading cause OF the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds OF sugar per person (half

Ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required TO limit
their use OF sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
z. $. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees OF the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound Of sugar Is used for
every 100 meals served.
The L. s. Food Administration Is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree TO reduce household use
OF sugar here TO a level more nearly
equal TO the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
q fair distribution of sugar TO the Al
lied world Is as follows:

Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc-
tlon from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been dlsap-
pointing; the Yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticlpat-
ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the imperative call for
ships for the movement OF troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti.

Wheat Saving Enormous.

When the Food Administration be
gan operations In the summer of 1917
this country was facing Il large deficit
In wheat. Counting In all ~carry-ovei
wheat from the 1916 crop, we had al
the beginning OF the 1917 harvest yeai
Just enough wheat to take care OF
Americas normal consumption,-not 9
bushei Of surplus.
At the close Of the 1918 harvest
year the Food Administrations official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments TO the other side had been
14l 100000 bushels. Every bushe'
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re
duced to terms of cereal bushels oui
shipments to Allied destinations were
$40, SOC, 900 bushels, S0,0OO,OOO bushels
more than the amount sent In 1907
Included In these figures are 1900,
600 bushels of rye and the 14l ,0OO,OOt
bushels OF saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on u,
l0,0OO,OOO bushels Of prime ~breadstufs

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
ssary in the diet?

10 sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet althesugar needed may ordi-
narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre-
served and dried fruits.
What are the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups.
Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them as an energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need.
How MAJ the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month means about 8 ounces per
week, or a little more than / ounce a day. This daily
ration is a trife more than 2 tablespoons level full.
1t should be remembered that this is to include all
use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or

Learn to Get Along Without Sugar

It has been done before. A hundred years ago re-
fined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and
you can use honey also. Besides there are syrups. The
natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did CEN
turtles ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this
way. The Allies do it now. England, which before the
war used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds
per head a month now: France one and a half pounds,
and Italy only one. Show yourself a patriotic American
and use less than your ration. This is but a slight sacri-
fee as compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it
yourself.
