OVER rs per cent. of the sugar used in the United
~ States is delivered by ships. There is produced
about 900 tons of beet and 100000 tons of
cane sugar in louisiana The total consumption of the
United States about 900 tons of sugar which
makes about 4,250, 600 tons of refined sugar.

Under such circumstances there doubt that the
American people would get along this limited supply
without complaint.

every American household to not than two

Reducing sugar consumption here means that

The Army and Navy have sent out an IS. o. s." call
for ships. Save Our Ships to Transport Troops and

There is ample sugar in the world for all require

Our Situation.
The situation which rhe United
States faces In IFS efforts to maintain
fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the eoun-
try. in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make Increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production OF American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed
immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as well as those from
the Allies.
Most Industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half !;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar. or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
err the canned fruit may be sweetened

shortage in the sugar supply
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des-
serts and other dishes requiring sweetening.
When cup of syrup or honey is used
to replace cup of sugar the liquid in the
recipes should be decreased one-fourth.

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION


10 in the diet?
Neither boet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet llthesugar needed may ordi-
narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh
served and dried fruits
What are the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible
other sweeteners. Be sparing of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and srups.
Cultivate taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy quickly They excel sugar since
they supply than merely the fuel need:
How the ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone7
Two pounds per month means about ounces per
week, q little more than day. This daily
ration is trfe than tablespoons level full
It should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table
use cooking in ice and desserts on cereals
