Share OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetenina
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
bic when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tions 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 a 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
q 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,
or in the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to q 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 1t with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine 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
5000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
tion. 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 it.
italy Has estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's 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 a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture Of saccharine and sugar called
"State Sugar" which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
q 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-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents q pound; France.
~ cents; Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at III cents

OOO, 900 bushels of wheat and 4,6lE3 .
600 pounds of meat during the paSl
year, valued in all at 81, 00,UOOU9o.
This was accomplished in the face OF
serious food shortage in this country,
,bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in Il let
,ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
iup of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment of
meat during 1917-1S.
The total value of all food ship
!ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 4000OO,00O, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the.
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918,
The shipments of meats and fats
Gncluding meat products, dairy pFod-
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied deS-
tinations were as follows:

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year We're not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly III hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the eX-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266,j00,000 pounds
in the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average OF
sol 100000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three year
,pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
,duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:

for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore, about 141 1,OO0,-
900 bushels, or a total of o4,9OO,OOO

dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend

over our normal consumption about
200, 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without

Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had avafTable from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap~
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.

Private Allison, Soldier.
Lecturer

The bureau takes especial pride
in presenting this lecturer to its
patrons. Private Sam Allison is
a young man, 80 years of age; a
Scotchman by birth and Cana
dian by adoption He joined the
army at the very outset of the
war; became a member of the
now famous Cameron Highland
ers, and sailed for France with
the first contingent. He was at
Ypres and met the first gas attack
delivered by the Germans, and he
fought continuously through this
great battle. 1t was his division
of which General French said.
THEY SAVED THE LINE, and
because they wore kits, it was
this division which the Germans
called The Ladies from He'll"
For nine long months this sol
dier maintained his place in the
trenches. There IS not phase
of modern warfare with which he
is not familiar and in which he
has not participated. AT last
came the day when the fight, for
him, was over, and he was carried
back with a fractured skull; with
his ribs knocked in and his teeth
knocked out and forever deaf in
one ear. After period of twenty
two weeks in the hospital, Private
Allison again SOUGHT to join the
colors, but was refused admission
both in Canada and our own
country because of his physical
condition, as the conclusion of
heavy artillery would now crush
his skull.
Hear his story; get the personal
touch of the war and learn,
through his word painting. the
life of the bows 'over there"
