SHARE OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Halt,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of sweetenln0
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds n month per person Is eQuita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra--
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions 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 classed as luxury, sugar
is now a 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.
&C in the hotels. :
England today has a sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is Il pound and
half and In Italy 1t is one pound
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as In America. 49,
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with 1t. If you want sugar you must
bring II with you.
In England 1t Is allowable to use
one-seventh Of an ounce of sugar I'm
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charlne 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,O00 acres devoted to sugar produc--
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find 1t. - ---s.' -'is..s'ss-yss},.ssrScs
Italy Has Estate Sugar." -.
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as n substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures Il mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate. o.
Germany, before the war, produced
n 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-
t,c- received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows.
England, 10 cents n pound; France
~ cents Italy. 20 cents.
While these high prices are being,
paid abroad the American Wholesale
price Is being held at IN centa
