RECIPES FOR THE FOOD

Save the Sugar.
American people have been using
about four ounces of sugar each day,
including the sugar used in candy
making. We are told that England
and Italy have one ounce each day,
and France even less-they have been
reduced to one pound per month, per
person. Think of it! Zone pound
per month-two cups full.) Divide a
cup in Is portions and see how much
the French people have of this neces-
sary food each day.
Newspapers all over the country
have given prominence to an earnest
appeal from Mr.. Hoover to ave the
sugar. First we were urged to save
an ounce per day. Many loyal citi-
zens are saving two ounces. AS most
of the cellars are we'll stocked with
%jellies, jams and canned fruit, Ameri-
ca ought not to be compelled to buy
large quantities of sugar during the
next two months while this shortage
lasts.
How much in bulk is an ounce of su-
gar? About two level tablespoons!
Take your scale and weigh it out and
see Just what our allies are getting.
Where can we cut down? The man,
woman, or child who omits sugar from
breakfast cereals helps to win the war.
Many patriotic citizens have given up
sugar in tea and coffee. The boys in
the training camps are doing this.
Can't all Americans do this much to
spare France? 1t is up to us to say.
But the housewife says, "What can
we have for desserts?" Why not omit
them part of the time, We have nuts,
fruits and r~aisins. Many dried fruits
are delicious without sugar. Then, we
we have the honey, corn syrup and
maple syrup. While they cost more,
there is no restriction as to their use
The following recipes use corn
syrup in place of sugar: Crisco, a
vegetable oil in place of butter and
oatmeal, in place of flour.
