GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
Is sugar necessary in the diet?

IL sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthe sugar needed may Ord
nariy be supplied by using honey, srups, fresh pre-
served and dried fruits
What the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible
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 its natural sweetness
Sugar is 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 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. or little than ounce day. This daily
ration is a trife than tablespoons level full.
1t should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsOever-fOr table
cooking in ice and desserts, cereals or
fruit in sugar sirups used on gridde cakes, etc.

publican Club were told yesterday by
Capt. A. F. Simmons, United States
military observer in Germany during

Don't let any one tell you that
German atrocities are merely fic-

of tse most gruesome sights l ever

ends of German bayonets and their
return to frantic mothers. If you

We've got to sacrifice till the skin

UP AGAINST IT
Fuel Problem for the City Light and
Water Plant is Becoming
Fierce

The Ocala light and water plant
has fuel problem of its own. 1t is
daily becoming more and more diff
cult to obtain fuel, and there is not a
little. danger that it may become inn
possible.
yCrude oil for the oil engine ran out
Friday, since which time the engine
has been running on kerosene Crude
oil costs 51s cent sa gallon and kero-
sene II. Kerosene does not go as far
as crude oil and the consequent cost
of using it is almost three times as
much. Also, the supply of kerosene
is limited. Mr.. Osborne, director of
the public utilities department, has
received letter from the manager
of the branch of the Standard Oil
Company from which the city has
been buying oil, saying he has secur-
ed, with great difficulty, tank car
pf oil for Ocala, but does not know
when he can obtain another. All the
destroyers and many of the battle
ships of the American and British
navies are burning oil, and it stands
to reason that it is going to be out
of the question TO secure that fuel for
any private firm or even a small city
or corporation.
The big steam engine at the plant
was put to work Sunday afternoon
and ran well. 1t is much better ma
chine than the oil engine and as long
as it can be kept running the city will
be all right. Keeping this engine in
fuel, however, is also problem, It
is impossible to obtain coal, and wood
is not only high in price but very diff
fcult to obtain. There is plenty of
wood in the country but it is almost
impossible to have it cut. AlK the la
Dor is busy either on the farms or on
public works of some kind. Mr.. Coco
witch of Dunhellon, who has been
supplying the city, now has contract
with the government ,and everybody
else who has been selling wood to
Ocala either has some other contract
or is clear out of business for lack of
wood cutters.
Mr.. Osborne has temporarily bridg
ed the gap by a contract with the
Martel Lumber Company, which will
supply the city with slabs from its
big sawmill.
Some of the councilmen have said
that it is now costing the city more
to make current than it receives, the
difference being made up by the tax
payers. IF this be the case, some
changes In rates is necessary.
