ALLIES ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without in
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since II
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength OF those
who have been bearing the brunt Of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing Its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
tions fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
In freedom and democracy.
Without our help it would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con
tributing largely to the support OF one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut OF, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point. whose
1elds have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States In the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
It is hard to grasp the magnitude
and Significance of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic. voluntary service of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf.
ficient to feed one-fifth of our popula-
ton. And this was done In spite of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion Of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out Of the nor
NAL home consumption of our own
people.
In spite of difficulties met In inter-
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to q figure that a few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before US with the beginning
Of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

Too Bad He COuld't March

United States Senator Howard
Sutherland, of West Virginia, tells
q story about mountain youth
who visited a recruiting Office in
the Senator's state for the purpose
of enlisting in the regular army.

the young man as sound as a dol

Pm sorry" said the physician,
but I'll have to turn you down.
You have fiat feet"
The mountaineer looked SORROW
full. "No way for me to git in it,
then?' he inquired.
II guess not. With those fat
feet of yours you wouldn't be able
to march even five miles,.
The youth from the mountains

What Is a Billion Dollars?

No one, not even those men
who have accustomed themselves
to think in terms of millions, can
form any exact conception of the
magnitude expressed by billion
units.
ITO enable us to get before our
minds some sort of comparative
comprehension OF such aquantity,"
says G. F. Davis, of the Agricul-
tural College, "the following state
ments may be of value.
"Ten billion silver dollars, if
laid in row touching one another,
would reach from the earth to the
moon.
''If at the moment of the birth
of Christ, some one had laid aside
one dime and this deposit had
been continuously repeated at the
rate of one dime each time the
clock marked one second of time
from that time until the close of
the present year. 1918, there would
be accumulated nearly the exact
amount of our fourth Liberty Loan,
or six billion dollars.
"a recent estimate places the
total population of the earth at
approximately one and one-half
billions. Our fourth Liberty Loan,
then amounts to very close to four
dollars for each man, woman and
child on the earth"

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL Fiber
Ooubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrates Sturdy Sup.
port Of War BY Conserving for
the Benefit of the

the Benefit of the
Aiiies.
When figures began to show def
initely that the people Of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that 1t was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton Of staple necessities. but that V
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use Of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar ~
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to q point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean tom
mage will be lightened, European ma
tions will be able to 60 farther afleld
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption II the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased. II the Eu-
ropean ration ID to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
It can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
hoo oh % polo hA
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
vation allowed the Food Administra-
tion to build up q reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity. until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records Of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
