Helping to Win the War

American families would have less sugar than
the people of war torn France, if we depended en-
tirely on our home grown sugar stocks.
Approximately IS per cent of our sugar is
shipped TO shores. We produce about 100000
tons of sugar a year. Our imports from abroad
amount to over 100000 tons a year in normal
times.
The United States Food Administration asks
each family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds
per month per person for household use. The mill
tary situation demands that every available ship be
placed at the disposal of the Army or Navy When
We save sugar, We save shipping

Swimming is to be taught men in the

part of the required military program

of swimming have been announced by
the commission on training camp ac-
Invites. which said that competent in
structors are to be assigned to each
cantonment. At those camps and can

ties do not exist big swimming pools

highly valuable in the Army because
many times q soldier is compelled to
swim streams where bridges and
boats are not available. In the pres
ent instance it is Of particular value
because of the danger a transport runs
in the war zone. for when ship is
torpedoed it has been found that the
man who can swim is invariably saved,
as he is able to keep afioat until the
lifeboats or rescue vessels reach him."

Navy Department says numerous boat

from Barbados nearly two months

Not one of the many vessels engaged
in the search has reported the finding
Of wreckage or of any other clue that
would aid in solving the mystery. Navy
officials admit that the time is drawing
near when they must formally give up

Why Early Call Is Better.

Calling the physician" it continues,
"early in the day means a great saving

have visited in that neighborhood.

"Send calls for physicians as early In
the day as possible"
This is the earnest request made by
the Medical Society Of the District Of
Columbia to the public to conserve time
and energy. The needs Of war have
greatly decreased the ranks of the So
ciety by taking from it members for
overseas and other service.
The society is concentrating its ef-
forts to do it's duty by the boys" over
seas. 1t maintains. and at the same time
care for the public of the capital, the
population Of which has increased alb
normally, creating a demand Of patients
much greater than the supply Of ply
sicians.
Extra Charge for Late Call, Hint.
At its last meeting the society passed
q resolution requesting that calls for
physicians be made early, giving the
reasons and recommending IAN extra
charge for all late calls except those
Of urgent emergency" The society
says that this action may be found
necessary should other means be I'M
availing.
To promulgate the action of the So
ciety all members will send to their
patients a copy of the war resolutions.
Following the keynote early calls for
physicians" are four reasons for the
necessity of cooperation by the pub
lie.
A large number of members, the res
olution says, are serving in the Army
and Navy; many members. are making
physical examinations Of drafted men,
and the population of the capital has
increased and the number Of physicians
decreased.
