RETAILERS ASKED
TO COOPERATE
IN CONSERVING SUGAR
SUPPLY.
NECESSITY VERY GREAT
Says Council of Defense In q
Letter to Retail Grocery
Dealers.

In a circular letters to the re-
tail grocers of Hampstead CO.,
j. D. Barlow, County Food Ad-
mlnistrator, asks their hearty
cooperation in impressing the
Importance and necessity of be-
ing economical in the consump-
of sugar upon their customers,
IN order to make available ev-
cry pound Of sugar for the nee
essary purpose Of canning the
fruits and vegetables and also
for the vigorous prosecution of
the war. Mr.. Barlow's letter
follows:
"The Food. Administration
needs the conscientious and
thorough help of every retail
grocer in the country in the
conservation of sugar.
During the past thirty
days the necessity for increased
sugar conservation has become
greatly emphasized, due pri-
marily to shortage of supplies
lost from increased submarine
activities, and other transport
difficulties.
The allies, including their
civil population and armies,
are wholly dependant for their
requirenaentof of raw and rer1neu
sugar on the supplies available
here. Since they have lost the
major part of their producing
sections through invasion. our
national obligation becomes
greater. They must be made to
further reduce their consump-
tion below their present mini
mum. This necessity alone
should fill every patriotic man,
woman and child with keen
sense of responsibility not to
waste a single ounce of sugar.
1--WE are entering the season
of greatest sugar consumption
when the fruit harvest must be
preserved for later use. In or
der t o conserve available
pound of sugar for this nee
essary purpose there must be
the most rigid kind of conser-
vation in other forms of con-
sumption. One of these is in
the radical reduction in its use
for household purposes, other
than for home canning and
preserving.
THAT real conservation of
sugar may be effected the con-
sumner must be thoroughly i'm
I! pressed with the imperative
need for its economical use in
the home. The retail grocers,
because of their constant and
personal contact with their GUS
toners, are in a position to rem
der now a distinct service. They
must urge that the consump.
ton be reduced to the lowest
possible point for ordinary use
If two teaspoonfuls of sugar
are now used in coffee and tea
they should suggest that it bC

purpose entirely. Urge thai

we actually give a boy 100 percent

though his teeth are decayed. his

teach a boy so that he can glibly re-

that he will not smoke cigarets is
another matter
