appearing on page 20S Of the revised
regulations, which states that the ques-
tionuairee was printed before the
amendment by congress which led to-
the revision Of this particular regula-

particularly directs that the claim

Provisions For Advisors 81
Another important feature Of the
new regulations is the provision for
tho appointment of three advisors for
each district board, one to be nominate
ed by the departWent of l0bor, one by
the department Of agriculture, and one
by the district board. 1t is particular

district board the question as to wheth.

to outweigh the benefit of the nation

The advisors are further directed to

parts of the country even In the face Of
transportation difficulties. This, of
course, involves building up Of larger
stocks than usual.
Prospects For 1o1B-19
With the shortage of labor already eG-
sting in the United States owing to the
demands Of the war industries and with
the prospects Of further inroads under
the new draft regulations, there Is Sc
rious question in the minds of the pro-
lucers of our domestic beet and sugar
crops as to their ability TO maintain
the normal rate Of production next sea-
son. sFr ~
The Shipping situation
All of the foregoing consideratious,
however, would not bring about short.
age in normal times. Sugar could be
brought from distant places II the de:
mand was sufficient to warrant the f,
naRcial outlay to obtain supplies. IN
fact, at this time there are some $4,000
tons Of sugar available in Java of last
years crop, too far away TO be moved
either to the United States or to the
allies, which in ordinary times would
certainly have been brought here to re-
lieVe the situation The economic use
of shipping facilities in accordance
with our war program makes it ad-
yisable that we reduce our sugar con
Sumption and employ shipping for more
necessary, purposes,
The Certificate Plan
The distribution of sugar for the first
six months of this year amounted to an
average OF, As Ilouhds per capita, or
practically the average distribution.
Since the cetfiilcate plan has been
in Operation and during the normal
months Of heavy domestic, distribution,
the consumption of sugar has been cut
down TO . point which win permit of
some aetnmulation in reserve stocks.
The normal distribution of sugar in
June, July, August, September, and
October is. 100000, 900 pounds per
month. The distribution under the Ger
tificate plan so far has boen reduced
to about 10000, 900 pounds per month.
The issuing of certificates and control
of the consumption in this way has
been gigantic operation carried ont

asked that publication of shipping

request, but hopes to be able to FUR

to popular heIicr, the government has
imposed no legal restrictions on the
press aud the censorship is purely

SUGAR REQUIREMENTS or
AMERICAS FIGHTING ALLIES
Food Administration Points Out Why,
Even With Increased Production
America Must Save Sugar

Before the war the United Kingdom
obtained 54.2 percent of her sugar sup
ply from Germany and AustriN-Hun-
gary, which sources Of supply are now, Of
couEse eliminated. France obtained us
percent OF her sugar from home pro-
duetion before the war, now her home
production Is only about 90 percent of
what it formerly was. Italy produced
96.3 percent of her sugar supply be-
fore the war, but her present home
production is now reduced about one
half. This situation, says an Official
bulletin, has resulted in heavy inroads
upon the sources Of supply of the Unit
cd States, particularly Cuba. The fol
lowing table shows to what extent the
allies now depend upon these sources:

Increased Home Consumption
The war has brought about increased
prosperity for large element of the
community and has added very greatly
to the purchasing power of the con
suming public. Demand for sugar has
increased in response to the increased
purchasing power. But sugar is used,
unlike many other food commodities, as
a constituent in so many other food
products that the demand is multiply

As the above figures show only Cuba
shows a substantial increase over last

creases elsewhere, so that the total pro.
ductiOn for these sources of supply is
only 3S,043 tons abOve% last season 5
crop. Moreover, our total receipts of
cane sugar from sources outside the
United States up to August II, amount
ed to 1887 74l tons, which is lS6,OlS
tons less than for the corresponding
period last year.
Our sugar comes to us in definite sea
aonable cycles. The cane sugar of
Cuba, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Philippines,
anil other minor sources, is exported to
this country in the period from Janu-
ary to October. Although there is some
available even as late as December, the
amount is relatively small. From Oc.
tober to January we depend chief
on our own domestic beet and
cane crops, but it is not until NOvem-
Der that the beet sugar is available in
the eastern part of the country. To
bridge the gap between the end of, the
arrivals of cane sugar from outside of
the country, and the arrivals of beet
sugar from the western States, we de.
pend normally on our refners reserve
supply of cane sugar of some 300 900
tons. Since our shortage during the
latter part of last year our reserve stock
has been in depleted condition. Re
fners now have only about 10000 tons
Of raw cane sugar on hand, about 40
percent of the normal reserve supply.
Had our consumption in the past six
months been reduced sufficiently, re
finers' stock might now have been
large enough to take care of our needs.

BAKER "SMALL FRY"
Roosevelt Says He Would Make Good
Municipal Officer.

Washington, Jan. 26. = Colonel
Roosevelt added two more striking
characterizations. to his remarks on
President Wilson's advisers.
OF Fuel Administrator Garfield. he
said IAN excellent college president.
1t would be as fitting to have the head
of the miners union at the head of
Williams college as it is to have Doc
tor Garfield in charge of coal"
And of Secretary Baker: 81 do not
doubt but that in cleaning our back
alleys, or planning flower gardens to
cheer drab slums, he is an excellent
municipal officer"
The remarks came at meeting of
New York state Republicans gathered
at the Army and Navy club. The col
onel blamed not Baker and Garfield
but rather President Wilson for
choosing them to places for which the
colonel said they were unsuited
His condemnation of the war de-
partment was unqualified. He praised
Senator Chamberlain in highest terms
for. having risen above party to tell
the truth. The Oregonians speech
of defense. he said, was so "magnifi-

commission which has conducted an
exhaustive investigation of the trials

declared this could be done by post

A history of the four cases is given

resolved itself into a new aspect of an
old industrial feud instead of a sub
ject demanding calm search for the
truth
After telling of the connection of
Billings and Mooney, the report points

WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD.

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed -four
bread, and In so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat -four
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups of milk, water or a mixture of
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat flour.
Put one and a half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat Of
usedl into double boiler and cook
twents minutes. The water is suff1-
cient only to soften the meal little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
flour and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water Knead thoroughly,
make into. loaf. place In pan of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 45 or so min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies. for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn a case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
1t is possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuis of -four In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as in the above -ecice-
