How can We save sugar?
BY using substitutes and giving
up candy and soft drinks.
Does It save sugar to use brown sugar
instead Of granulated?
Il there Is any saving it is too
slight to be OF value.
How much sugar may we eat?
Not more than 3 pounds a month
per person.
Does this amount include candy and
soft drinks?
Yes. We should reduce our con-
sumption Of candy and soft drinks
as much as possible.
Does this amount include the sugar
used in canning fruits and vegeta-
bles?
No.
What could we accomplish by cutting
out the use of candy alone?
We could thereby release enough
sugar to. meet England's shortage,
or to more than meet the shortage
Of France.
What was one factor that probably
helped bring about the sugar short
age last year?
Canning and preserving. In Au-
gust, 1917, there was an increase Of
e per cent and in September, 1917,
IN increase OF A per cent Of sugar
consumption over the correspond
ing months of 1916.
Was this good conservation?
Yes; it will be justified In the
long run.
Will there b another sugar famine?
II the American people use not
mor than 3 pounds per month per
person allowed and refrain from
boarding, there will be enough sugar
this year.
How is sugar used commercially?

davoring' extracts, chewing gym,

What has its increase been since
then?
From 1896 tons to 820,657 tons, or
v er 100000 per cent increase.
Does the United States get most Of.
its sugar from this country?
No. Most Of it is imported, and
refined here.
Why should we not compare Jul total
consumption OF sugar with the sugar
rations Of the Allies?
Because total consumption means
household use and commercial use,
while the rations are amounts al
lotted to individuals, and do not
ming and preserving.
What was the total per capita con-
sumption in the United States for
1917?
84.35 pounds.
How much of this was for household
use?
61.15 pounds per person.
What was the total per capita con-
sumption in England and in France
In 1915?

France, 1872 pounds q year.
Italy, 1872 pounds q year.
Germany, 81 pounds a year.
These rations are not guarans
teed. They represent the maxi
mum portion possible If the gov.
eminent can get the sugar.
What is the total amount obtainable
from our present sources of sugar?

TWENTY VILLAGES RECLAIMED
FRENCH WAR OFFICE CALLS AD
VANCE IMPORTANT.
Plateau Dominating Soissons on the
Southwest Also Has Been
Occupied.

Paris, July 19.-More than twenty
villages have been recaptured by the
French and American troops in the
offensive, according to the War Office
announcement, which reports also the
occupation of the plateau dominating
scissors on the southwest.
"We have made an important ad.
vance into the enemy lines and have
reached the plateau dominating Sois-
sons on the southwest and the region
of Chaudun," the statement reads.
fBetween Villers-Helon and Norcy.
Sur-Ourcq, violent engagements have
been in progress. South of the Ourcq
our troops have gone beyond the gen.
eral line of Marizy, Saint Genevieve,
Hautevesnes and Belleau.
more than twenty villages have
been retaken by the admirable dash
of the Franco-American troops, as
well as several thousand prisoners and
important war material"

SCHEM|NG TO COVER FAILURE
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE MAGNk
FIEs MINOR SUCCESS.
Seeks to Justify Himself Before Peo
Pile for Sacrificing About
100000 Men.

Paris, July 19.-The German crown
prince, military observers here say.
now is trying to convert large scale
failure into a snowy minor success
which will make up in the eyes of the
German public for the 100000 men he
has sacrificed.
His goal now apparently is Epernay.
The operation includes two parts In
the first the Germans who crossed the
Marne in the Dormans region are
struggling to widen and strengthen
the bridgehead on the south bank. In
the second the German right center,
which at the beginning of the action
was along the Dormans-R Rheims road
facing southeast, is now pivoted on
Vrigny and runs north and south along
line through Vrigny, Bouilly, Mar.
faux and Courton and Roy woods. AS
the country in this direction is thick.
ly wooded, and consequently easily
defended, some military commentators
believe the Germans will soon find the
game is not worth the candle.
Pursuing his now familiar opportu.
mist policy, the enemy would content
himself with establishing defensive
front toward the east and turn his ef-
forts southwark in the direction of
Montmirail, near Epernay, which
strategically is second in Importance
only to Chalons. This Is the opinion
of the military writer, Colonel de
Thomasson.

VICTORY CLAIMED :
By TURKISH TROOPS
Assert British Division In Palestine
Has Been Practically
Annthilated.

London. July 19.--According to a
dispatch from Amsterdam, an official
statement has been issued at Con-
stantinople relative to the fighting in
