France never did produce all the
wheat she used In 1914 her production
was about 80 per cent of the normal
consumption. In 1917 the production
was but As per cent of the normal pro.
duction.
After deducting the amount neces
sary for seed, it is estimated that the
1917 production will be one-third
Frances needs.
France cannot economic on food as
much more than usual as we can in the
United States because her food con-
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities. They
cannot increase their supplies by war
gardens, for most of them are in the
habits of growing their own garden
supplies, and they are famed for their
careful household management.
Last year France kept her food sup
ply production plus eXports) up to
IS per cent of normal. This year it has
fallen to between 60 and 20 per cent.
The rations of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. A soldiers ration
is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the same lack can do at
the front.
England, who needs food badly, con
siders the French situation so serious
that she shares her scanty supply OF
wheat with France.

keepers know that they are not al
lowed to sell liquor to these men af-
ter they have been sworn into the
army, even tho they may not have on
a uniform, but if there are any who do
not know the law on the subject. they
are hereby notified that such is the
case, and hereafter to refuse them Ii
quor. There has also been complaint
made to the police commission to the
effect that saloon keepers are in the
habit of allowing minors to loaf a
bout their places of business. This is
also against the law and should be
discontinued at once. 1t is the inten-
ton hereafter to prosecute those who
do not comply with the law in these
matters.

BUTTER A GOOD FOOD

AS a food, butter contains two ele.
other foods. First, its power to stimu.
late growth, and second, its power to
serve as a source of energy for the
maintenance of bodily activity. From
this point of view, it may be truthfully
said that butter fat has no substitute
dairy products containing butter fat
They are a highly nutritious and com,
paritively cheap food.

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION

Is sugar necessary N the diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet llthesugar needed may ordi
narly be supplied by using honey srups, fresh pre-
served and dried fruits.
What are the general sugar saving rules?
Use ali sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups
Cultivate taste for fruit in It's natural sweetness
Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
excels them energy-food only because it pro
duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month about ounces per
week, little than J. ounce day. This daily
ration is tride than 2 tablespoons level full
It should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatso ever-for table
use, cooking, in ice and desserts cereals or
fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc.

MEETING AT FEDERATED CHURCH
(Contributed)


A large attendance at the Federated
church on last Wednesday evening
seems indicative of determination on
the part Of the Christian people of the
city to give more attention to matters
of vial import during 1918.
1t was the expressed desire of those
present at this prayer meeting to live
life of service during the coming
year, not the mere making of the old
time new years resolution, but be-
cause of the great need of humanity
through the sorrow inflicted upon the
world, even upon us. Such conditions
draw men and women nearer the Cross
of Calvary.
The American people must drink this
cup, it may be to its dregs, we do not
know. But we wish to go on, we must
go on till this powerful demon of des-
truction is wiped out and justice be
established, and all recognize the
strength and grace that comes through
prayer.
