raced away back on the grass for a
back-handed stop of Fosters wicked
slam, but he had no chance to right
himself for a throw to first.
Del Pratt got in one telling smash,
single with the three bases filled
that scored two runs. He should have
had another but for a wonderful one

toward right field. Joe killed off the
runner with the assistance of Ayres.

vacated in going over for a throw. Next

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
Is sugar necessary IN the diet?

Is sugar necessary nthe diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may ordi-
narly 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 srups.
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 may 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 l 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
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table
use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or
fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR.;

sAmericans 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-
ton from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than snticipat-
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 b. the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-

After making a careful survey of the
world sugar situation the u. S. Food
Administration lpls 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-and the need of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two of the leading causes of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds of sugar per person (half
a pound a week. serve for all sugar
uses In the Observation-Disclosures cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.

10 Name Reconstruction
Commission to Convert

Washington, Nov. 13-President
Wilson has under consideration the
appointment Of a reconstruction
commission to develop a comprehen-

version from war to a peace bas-
is. The commission would be advis-
DRY rather than executive in func-

co-ordinated by it would be carried
out by existing government depart
ments and agencies. AS now con-
sidered the commission would be
representative of commercial indus
trial labor, agricultural and social
interests; it's membership mall and
it would deal with all phases of the
great problem of easing the country
from war to peace. The President
is understood to be Distinctly OPP

President is said now to be consid-
ering what emergency legislation
may be necessary before the govern
ment can proceed Systematically to
turn all portions of the country to
peace time production. How to shut
off further war production without
closing plants. throwing men out of
work and causing financial strain
is the most immediate reconstruc-
ton problem facing the government,
Hundreds of kilograms Of inquiry
reaching government departments
today disclosed an anxiety of bust
ness men over this question and Of
fered n multitude of suggestions for
dealing with it. The reconstruction
commission would act as clearing
house for such suggestions. Estab-
lishment OF such board was re-
commended to President Wilson Dy
