been able to continue the excellent
work which 1t has done for so long
without curtailing. and 1t is through
the Red Cross that the families OF the
most needy soldiers Of the French
army have received help sufficient to
carry them over some hard places in
their lives. Almost every phase of
the life in France has been touched
and helped.
10000 Beds Provided.
AS to the American Army. the
work has been enormous and is in
creasing. For many months we were
told that the Red Cross would not be
expected to put up any hospitals In
France. At the present moment the
Red Cross has approximately 10000
hospital beds operating for the Ameri-
can soldier. During one period of
about two weeks $4,000 American SOL

given out; thousands and thousands
OF splints to the American Army; sup

in large numbers; food, service in the
hospitals. heme service for the men In
France whereby their families can be
helped in case of trouble, letters to tho

you say: Two pounds of sugar

FOOD CLUBS FERRET

(By c. v. Stainsby, Assistant to Or

The U. S. Food Clubs show their
Americanism by ferreting out that
which is un-American. Germany has
her spies and secret supporters in
every land While we were still at
peace with Germany her representa-
tives betrayed our confidence and vio-
lated our neutrality. Now that we
are at war her agents are trying to
hinder our war preparations and thus
help the very country from which
they fed for greater freedom. Ger
many's supporters work in every con-
ceivable way to hurt America. Some,
who have ample means, refuse to buy
government bonds Some will not
support the Red Cross or Y. NJ. c. A.
Others go to the extent Of burning
bridges and blowing up factories
Still others do nothing but spread
lies about America These last are
the most contemplate. They are
among the most dangerous. They are
the hardest to catch. Every complete
u. S. Food Club will have a Stacker
Committee" This committee will re
port to the proper authorities for in
vestigation all cases of failure to sup

The situation which the United

LIED world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the ceun-

Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-

troop movements and munitions.

have Increased ~ we'll a. those from

Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half :

Households should make every ef-
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts Of sugar.
