In making people grasp your theme.

Before you take another step2"
And Shakespeare gave his beard a
twist
And quietly made answer: Pep"

FIGURES Slow RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port Of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Allies

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of ieods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that 1t
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease in the use Of
luxuries The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring orr
consumption of sugar down to 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
not materially increased. If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially in
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to 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
tember and October 995, 900 tons were
Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons This
shows definite, concrete saving Of
over 10000 tons. These figures ap- |
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in !
he kitchen and in the various indus
Ties, and show conclusively that In !
he homes and public eating places Of !
where 10 per cent Of all our !
ugar Is consumed. the sugar eonsump-
ion has been reduced by more than
'ne-third
In the four-month period begin
ing with July, this country normally
ses 100000 tons Of sugar per month.
asst July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,OOO
ons were distributed. In September
he figures showed $4,000 tons, and
hen fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
roof that the American people have
lven their loyal cooperation and sup
ort Of the war.
