 German Sugar Ration Adequate.
 Germany, before the war, produced a great surplus of sugar and exported large quantities. Today the Germans have virtually gone out of the export business, but have plenty of cheap sugar for home use.
 Wholesale prices prevalent in the Allied nations, according to informa- tion received by the United States Food Administration are as follows {: England, 10 cents pound; France, 12 cents; Italy, 26 cents
 While these high prices are being paid abroad the American wholesale price is being held at 7A cents.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
 WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month. French Pound and Half,
 italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetenlno
 for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two pounds a month per person is equita- ble when compared with the sugar ra- tion enforced by rigid governmental order in England, France and Italy, na- tions with which we are sharing sugar.
 Each Allied nation-in the matter of sugar consumption--is sharing on near est possible equal terms the hardships imposed by greatly altered conditions in the world sugar situation.
 Formerly elassed as luxury, sugar Is now war time essential. The fair and just division of this essential is in the hands of the various Allied food controllers.
 The United States Food Administra- ton has asked this nation to observe voluntary sugar ration of two pounds per person month.
 In the other countries at war with Germany sugar is one of the scarce articles on every menu-whether in the households of both rich and poor, or In the hotels.
 England today has a sugar ration of two pounds per month per person. In France the ration Is a pound and a half and in Italy 1t Is one pound a month. And the prices in allied coun- tries are from two to three times as high as in America
 If you go to a hotel in England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no sugar with it. If you want sugar you must bring 1t with you.
 In England it is allowable to use one-seyenth of an ounce of sugar in the preparation of each luncheon. In France many persons carry little sac charine tablets about with them for use in hotels and in England rich and poor must take their sugar With them If they wish to have sweetened tea while visiting friends
 Before the war started France had 625, ,OQO acres devoted to sugar produc- tion. By 1917 the French sugar acre age had decreased to 180,000 acres. Today the French man or woman with sugar card has no assurance whatever that he or she will be able to actually buy sugar. To buy it. one must first find 1t.

 Especially drastic regulations govern the use of sugar in Italy Its manu- fracture, distribution and sale are close ly controlled, and in part actually taken over by the state.
