SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of Sweeteninq
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a mouth per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter of
sugar consumption-is sharing OH e
est possible equal terms the hardships
! imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
Is now a wal time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is n Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and in Italy it is n pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as.in America:
II you 60 to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with 1t. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you. s>~.~
In England it is allowable to use
on9-seventh Of an ounce Of sugar in
the preparation Of each luncheon. In
France many perssns carry little sac.
tharine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
II they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends. ~
Before the war started France had
625,O0O acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with q
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, n must first
find It.
italy Has "state Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
| the use Of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close

cit for July of .05 of an inch, and with
