Sugar Supply Less and Less.
Must Reduce Consumption.

Further reduction of the con-
sumption of sugar is made necessa-
ry by the present critical shortage,
and the food administration, in call
ing upon the home consumers to
cut down the use Of sugar to even
less than the ration which had pre-
viously been established, emphasizes
the fact that unless the new regula.
tons are voluntarily carried oat by
the people, the sugar supply will
not last. 1t is to safeguard against
a sugarless ration or sugar famine
that the food administration has cut
down the allotment, which is new
three pounds per person per month,
to two pounds per person per
month. This allotment applies par
t%icularly to the month of August.
In public eating places, restaa-
rants, hotels, boarding houses and
dining cars the new allotment will
be two pounds for each 80 meals
served.
Manufacturers of soft drinks and
candy are now receiving only 80
per cent of their normal supply, or
of their last years consumption of
sugar. The private homes have
not been asked by the food admin
istration TO make so deep a cut as
that.
Sugar bowls have disappeared
from the tables of many of the no.
tells, restaurants and cafes, and su-
gar is carefully measured out to
guests and customers, Under these
conditions, there can be
no unlimited use of sugar, even for
a portion of a month, in the homes
of those who are endeavoring to
conscientiously and patriotlcally
live up to the food administration
rules and regulations. Sugar must
be used with the greatest care. 1t
Is too precious to be wasted or to
be psed except sparingly. Even
it may NEAR sacrifice, sugar
must be saved now.
The situation is such as to call
for the cooperation of every lndl.
and every householder in the
State. Only a certain amount of
sugar has been allotted to South
Carolina for the month of August.
The dealers can procure only a GER
tain amount. This allotment must
cover all needs. The food admin
istration has carefully figured that
it can not be stretched to cover the
needs Of the State unless the indi.
consumption is cut down to
two pounds per person per month.
In naming that amount as the ra-
ton, therefore, the food admins
tration states clearly what is the
patriotic duty of every person In
Carolina for the month of
August-to live within the limit,
and to cut that down if possible. 1t
is also urged that in canning, fruits
be canned without sugar this sum-
mer. The fruit will keep just as
we'll. 1t may be sweetened to taste
when opened for use. By that time
it is hoped that the sugar situation
will have been relieved and that
there will be plenty for all purposes.

Is the Sun as Wasteful
rs it Seems?
: BY Garrett p. Serviss. =

What portion of the suns light
and heat is caught by the planets,
and is all the rest utterly lost and
wasted "A. G., La Mesa. Calf"
About one 100000, OOOth part of
the suns total outpouring of radi-
ant energy is caught by the earth,
and about one 227. 200. OOOth part by
all the planets together This is an
average estimate, for the amount
continually varies, TO relatively
small extent, owing to the changing
distances of the planets from the
sun. The farther away they are the
smaller the amount of the suns
rays they intercept.
A small planet near by may in
tercept as much as a large one far
Their away Thus Mercury, whose
cross section is only about one
seventh that of the earth, stops
nearly as great a proportion of the
suns radiation as the earth does
because Mercury's distance from the
sun is only 100000 miles against
the earth's 100000.
On the other hand. Jupiter, which
presents a screen 120 times as large
as the earth to the suns rays. inter
cepts less than FIVE times as much
Of them because his distance from
the sun is about 5.3 times as great
as the earth's.
Since the planets receive so in
hnitesimal a part OF the suns out
giving Of radiant energy in the form
of light, heat etc, il would seem
that there must have been some
other purpose in the creation Of the
sun than to supply radiation to this
or any other OF its surrounding
worlds. To utilize only one part in
227,O00. 600 Of its rays would be an
example of waste too astonishing for
belief.
But, what. then. as YOU ask. be-
comes OF the vast remainder of al
this immense energy? Is it consid-
cred by the Creator to justify its
cost by spreading information
through incalculable trillions OF
cubic miles Of space concerning the
existence of our tiny sun. as we are
informeds Of the existence of oul
suns great and little brethren by the
otherwise apparently wasted ray:
that they send 20 our eyes-wher
We have them open2

solution Of the mystery in such a
suggestion. although We touch only
