WHY m rs NECESSARY TO
EAT LESS SUGAR.

Before the war. France,
Italy. and Belgium raised oil
their own sugar. Great Brit
ain bought sugar from Ger
many.
= Now France, italy, and
Belgium cannot raise much
sugar because their men are
fighting. and Great Britain
cannot buy sugar where she
used to buy it.
All must now get sugar
where we get it, and there
Is not enough TO go around
unless we save.
How You Can Help.
Cut down on candy and
sweet drinks. Eat half as
much sweets as before and
you are still eating more
than the Englishman or
Frenchman or italian or
Belgian gets.
Use honey, maple syrup.
corn syrup, and sorghum in
stead Of sugar.
Serve cake without frost
ing or icing.
Eat plenty OF fruit.
