Save Pots and Pans.

Because of the demand for steel and
the shortage of materials which go into
the manufacture of enamelled, galvanized
and timed wares in use in American
kitchens some thirty manufacturers of
these wares has issued jointly an appeal
TO the housewife to prolong the life of
her kitchen utensils.
Three important 'dont's" are among
those laid down for the housewife TO fol-
low:
Don't use coarse securing powders.
Don't handle the wares carelessly.
Don't heat food in a pan without wat
ter.
When it is recalled that more than
Sl00,o00,000 is spent each year by Amer
lean housewives for household utensils it
is apparent that the part which the
women of the home can play in economy
is no small one.

timing, losses, cost of bags, labor, insur

more than cover the difference. After
prolonged negotiations the refners
were placed under agreement estab
fishing these limits on October /, and
anything over this amount to be agreed
extortionate under the law.
"In the course OF these investiga'
tons 1t was found by canvass of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had,
during the first nine months of the
past year, sold for an average Of about
$4.24 per hundred I. o. b. Cuba, TO
which duty and freight added to the
refiners' cost amount to about $3.50
per huadred. The average sale price
of graduated by various retineries, ac-
cording to our investigation, was about
$3.50 per hundred, or differentiai OF
S1.s4.
"In reducing the differential to S1.30
there was a saving to the public OF "a
cents per hundred. Had such a diff
ferential been In use from the LIST OF
January, 1917. the public would have
saved in the first nine months of the
year about S24,s00,0o0."

With a view to more efficient organ
ization Of the trade In imported sugars
ha hQnn
formed by the food administration:
]. A committee comprising repre-
sentatives OF all OF the elements of
American cane refining groups. The
principal duty of this committee is TO
divide the sugar imports pro rata TO
their various capacities and see that
absolute justice is done TO every re-
finer.

resentatives of the English, French
and Italian governments two repre-
sentatiyes of the American refin1s,
with a member of the food admlnistra-
ton. Only two of the committee have
arrived from Europe, but they repre-
sent the allied governments. The du-
ties of this committee are TO determine
the most economical sources from a
transport point of view of all the al
lies to arrange transport at uniform
rates, TO distribute the foreign sugar
between the United States and allies, |
subject to the approval of the Ameri-
ran, English, French and Italian gov /,
ernments.
This committee, while holding strong |
giews as to the price to be paid for
Cuban sugar, has not had the final
yoice. This voice has rested In the
concerned, together with
he Cuban government, and l wish TO
tate emphatically that all of the gen
lemen concerned as good commercial
nen have endeavored with the utmost
atience and skill to secure lower
