Limit Consumption to Allotment
Made TO Us by Washington.

Made TO Us by Washington.
Montpelier, Aug. 3.-(SpeciaD The
following statement relative to the
sugar situation in Vermont was is
sued today at the state food admins
t.ation offices in this city:
Frank II. Brooks, Federal Food
Administrators for Vermont has gone
to Washington to confer with the
national food committees on the sugar
situation in Vermont.
"The great trouble is not the
scarcity of sugar in Vermont, for
there now is in the state a sufficient
supply for all immediate needs. But
the problem is to limit our consump-
ton to the allotment made to us by
Washington There may be sugar
in the state, and yet if we have al
ready consumed out reasonable pro-
portion. we have no right to uee 1t.
Our a lo!ment is reasonably sulliclent
for all our needs, considering that we
are living in a period when ii is the
duty of every one to sacrifice, but on
account of our previous unstined use
of sugar. II is now necessary for the
people of Vermont to make a radical
change in their habits of using sugar.
THE sumption of sugar may be
limited in one of two ways First by
the individual who responds to the
patriotic duty and consumes less
sugar, and, Second, by limited distri'
/ button
"Mr. Brooks feels that there has
been very hearty and universal
co operation on the part of the great
majority Of our people in limiting
their use of sugar At the same time
when the order for regulated distri
button of sugar was first made some
dealors and wholesalers took alarm

Perhaps it may seem an extrava-

Wr;at Score Pads.

A convenient little score pad for the
golfer is attached to a leathe, strap,
which may be fastened around the
wrist.
The score pad is worn, of course, on
the left wrist and the golfer may lot
down memoranda of his score as easily
as social memos are scrawled on
starched cuffs-or used to be when
starched cuffs were in fashion.
The usefulness Of the wrist has been
sadly neglected in other years, when
the bracelet and occasionally the fan
were the only things it was expected to
carry. Wrist watches and golf scores
now fall to its share as part Of the
burden CT lifes impediments, and very
efficiently it meets its new obligations.
