WHY SUGAR RULES
WE'RE REMOVED.

E|flE hE-NOf EO.
In view Of the large number Of In
luifies a. to the reasons for the re-
0oval Of restrictions upon the use OF
sugar the Food Administration has
issued the following statement:
Since It's inception, the Administra-
Hons policy has been to adjust It's con-
DeCvltion requests with conservation
necessities and the public has shown
ID appreciation Of this frankness by
immediate response.
During the months of July, August,
9sptember, October and November this
rear, the American people saved 775,-
700 tons OF sugar over their normal
ionsumtion. This conservation, Of
Sourse, includes the amount Of sugar
aved by the restrictions placed on
confectionery and soft drink products.
The Food Administrators object in
sSking for economy in the use Of sugar
vas to ensure a supply that would
- adequate to meet the needs Of the
Allies who would have to depend ON
ne same sources as the United States
70 long as the war lasted. 1t was
aeceaary to take precautions so that
hero would be certainty OF sufficient
Dvsar through the year. With the
usning Of the arm4stice the situation
Kas Immediately changed. As soon as
he armistice made a change In our
sugar program possible the restrictions

DON'T STOP SAVING
CABLES HOOVER.

A year and a half ago Herbert
Hoover said, I'VE hold Il In our power.
and ours alone, to keep the wolf from
wider than var-it Is as wide a. hui
nanity."
That appeal IL just as vital now as 1t
was then, and NJ. Hoover, after week
IN Europe, cables that the food fight
must 60 On. II must 90 On with In
oreass1 vteor, tor q let-up would mean
disaster to The nations just released

gone &om their lands, but hunger still
Ii there and It viii remain for many
months to come. They are looking to
~ Ter food to sustain them, and We
cannot hon0rably fail 10 give It. Amer
tca must now think In terms OF world
Aeed and world resources, and the Let
ter Of these must be made to equal the
former By voluntary American sacrifice.
The nSw conservation program calls
tor more discipline, more determine
lion, and moro real perseverance than
The former one did. It does not ask
Tor brief, intensive sacrifices in this or
to7S O&GAAkoOSOALys I'LL Iva d Ooa&S@20ouD
and intensive saving In all foods and
IN absolute elimination Of waste. 1t
would be easier, perhaps, to follow
lpeoidc d1rections-the wheatlees days
md meatless meals. The new program
pals for individual initiative and re-
pourceful1ess, which Is the spirit OF
democracy. The new program Is in
Terms which only an intelligent people
Sould execute people actuated by
world conscience
The food army must remain in har-
asss until Herbert Hoover, Its COM
eaAndeF>in-chief. says that It may be
tncially mustered out There can be

HOG ISLAND WORK
IS NOT CRIMINAL
No Explanation Offered For
TTebIing Of Cost.
TOTAL NEAR s61,OOO,OOO
Government Urged to Seek Recovery
of Any Unnecessary Expense in Re-
port of Department OF Justice PROD

Philadelphia, Dec. 21.-Ofticials OF
tha American International Shipbuild-
inc corporation, agents of the Ener-
gency Fleet corporation, In the con-
struction and operation of the hog
Island shipyard, were exonerated 1rohi
ar criminal liability in the report Oh
their management, compiled by the de-
partment of justice months ago anu
made public by the attorney general
under orders from President wilson.
Whether or not extravaganza was
practiced in the early operations at
the island is a question to which the
investigators failed to make direct
answer The report recommends tnaI
a board of arbitration determine what
part, if any, of the more than Soo'-
100000 the plant cost was in excess
of reasonable necessity and should De
demanded of the contractors by the
government.
81 am glad the report has been Is
sued and the controversy over hog
Island ended" said Charles Piez, d.
rector general of the Emergency Fleet
corporation. 81 feel that criticism OF
the plant should cease now, for 1T IN
f1uences the spirit of the workmen
there and adds to the costs. When
men are proud of the concern by
which they are employed, that pride Is
reflected in their work; but when they
are uncentain whether it Will survive
attacks made upon it, accomplishment
is q secondary matter with them.
THE payroll at Hog Island is about
800 900 weekley," added Mr.. Piez,
"and I believe that criticism OF the
ward in the past has cost the govern
nent $4,000 Il week because of its eff
feet on the spirit of the men and,
therefore, on the production Of the
yard
In brief, the investigators report:
That the facts do not justify crimi-
nal process and that no fraud or Sc
cret profits has been established.
That the probable cost of the plant
will be about SCI, 100000. including the
$4,000 900 for additions by order Of
the Emergency Fleet corporation,
compared with an original estimate OF
s21 900 600 and revised estimate of
S27. 900 600
That no clear explanation of this
discrepancy has been forthcoming.
That prior to February 1 last con-
dition existed at Hog Island which,
"superically at least, would impress
any one as an organized riot 'tangl-
ed mass or stage of chaos"
That the contractor or agent, the
American International corporation,
in substance, has taken the position
that since this was war job cost was
of minor Importance.
That the question of reasonableness
of the expenditures should be refer
red to board Of arbitration provided
for in the contract, proceedings to be
closed if the board finds the expend-
lures reasonably necessary or other
wise payment of the excess to be de-
manded by the government

NEW BERLIN PLEA TO U. S.
Despite Lansing Admonition, Germans
Again Try Separate Appeal

Again Try Separate Appeal.
Washington, Dec. Pin spite of
Secretary of State Lansing's admoni-
ton that such communications must
not be addressed to the United States
alone, the German government has
sent another appeal to the American
government for modification of the
armistice terms for food.
The receipt of the note was an
nounced at the state department with
the explanation it would not be made
public because it did not differ from
previous appeals and was in yic!a ton
of the decision that communications
must be addressed to all the govern
ments associated with the United
States in the war.
While it is realized the situation in
Germany is far from good, the per-
sistent appeals are regarded as a part
of propag anda by which the authori-
ties at Berlin hope to escape some of
the results of defeat.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by a consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it sent1re-
ly closed, Deafness is the result. I'm
less the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
