ISSUANCE OF SUGAR
CERTIFICATES ABOUT TO
SWAMP HEADQUARTERS

Despite the small army Of office
assistants which have been enlisted
at the Office of Federal Fiod Admins
traitor Braxton Beachanm, the work
of issuing certificates to those who
require sugar for business purposes is
is threatening to swamp headquar-
tiers. The new regulations under
which every user Of sugar for com.
mercial purposes must procure GER
tificate, has resulted in piling up ap-
plcations by the thousands, and no
opportunity was given to provide
against the rush, thought the bulk Of
the applications have been taken care
of and the sugar distribution for the
State is going forward without seri-
GUS delay. The same situation ex-
listed in everv state in the union, and
Florida is getting only her share of
the difficulties which at worst will be
overcome before the end Of the week.
A great many applicants are making
the mistake of not giving their ad
dress properly, and dozens Of letters
are received which give the street
address and no city is named. 9th
ers put insufficient postage on their
letters and as the Food Administra.
ton office is not allowed to pay
postage due" the letters can not be
taken from the postoff1ce and must
remain there or be remailed to the
original senders. A great many USE
less questions are also asked, when
perusal of the rules when copy is
received will answer most any ques.
ton that could be reasonably pro-
posed Those who wish to secure
sugar, need only ask for an applica-
ton blank, and the form is so simple,
it can easily be filled out and sent in
for certificates. While the system
may seem at first glance to be intri-
cate, it is the only method under
which the Food Administration can
guarantee a proper distribution Of
sugar, and thus insure every state in
the union it's proper share. The new
regulations will prevent over. sup
plies in the hands of any dealer and
consumers, and already several cases
Of boarding have been discovered
through the medium of the reports.
Food Administrator Beacham is very
anxious to see no halt to business

MILK SUPPLY VITAL
TO NATIONS HEALTH
Department of Labor Urges
Conservation of Mich Cows
Throughout Country.

One of the most disastrous effects
which can come from the world war,
and one which threatens the future life
of the nation. is the curtailment of the
| milk supply for children, says bull
| letin just issued by the children's hu-
reau OF the United States Department
i of Labor. Milk is described as the in
| dispeusable food for children, and
whenever the milk supply is limited
the life and health of the people are
imperiled.
The probable effect of the war on
the health and welfare of our children
is best learned from the experience of
the European countries. 1t is to avert
such conditions as now exist in Europe
that the children's bureau of the De-
partment of Labor is pointing out the
necessity of increasing and conserving
our milk supply.
In order to supply food to the allies
this country must prepare to feed an
ever-increasing number. This can be
done in two ways-by increased pro-
duction or by decreased use of food.
Food may be saved by eating less. by
substitution or by elimination of waste
None of these methods will impair the
health of the adult But the child can
not have its food curtailed. Neither is
cereals, substitution of foods, asserts
the children's bureau.
Before the war the United States i'm
ported large quantities of milk prod
ucts from the northern European coun-
tries. Likewise our allies. and particu-
Iarly England and Belgium, depended
to a large extent for dairy products
from these countries. Now this supply
| is completely shut off. The United
States is compelled not only to give up
its imports. but must be a large ex-
porter of these commodities to the al
lies.
According to the bulletin of the bu-
reau, the existing situation demands
that the number of mich cows must be
increased in this country, or the entire
world will face the calamity of milk
shortage. The growing slemands on
not been met by corresponding in
crease in dairy herds: The per capita
milk productioR~in the United States is
now only about one quart, including
that used for all purposes. 1t has not
increased since 1890 and unless mme-
conserve the dairy industry it will fall
rapidly.
In Europe the mich cow has been
sacrificed on account of the scarcity of
meat and the inability to get fodder
Similar conditions. it is asserted, now
threaten the dairy industry in this
country, and unless radical mea sures
are taken to prevent ii the same sitra-
rion will obtain. II is an astonishing
fact. the departments bulletin shows
that the price of feed has increased re-
Gently from 100 to 200 per cent, while
more than 20 per cent. AS war meas
ure immediate action is imperative 10
save and further the country's dairy
industry

INTERNATIONAL POLICY
FOR WORKERS PLANNED
General Congress Proposed to Frame
Policie@Resignation of Germans
to Government Admitted.

By the Associated Press
LONDON. Wednesday. March oo.-The
first step in carrying out the plans for
an International working class policy.
Camille Huysmans. secretary of the So
cialist internationale, announced today.
would be to give clear statement on
interallied policy to American work
ers and to show them that the policy
is essentially in harmony with that of
President Wilson. In the meantime
the interallied socialist memorandum
on war Ams will be forwarded to Ger
man. Austrian and Bulgarian So
cialists through socialist parties in
neutral countries.
NJ. Huysmans considers it likely that
the socialist organizations in enemy
countries will agree upon n common
policy. or will make separate state
nlents on the lines of the interaliied
memorandum. If these snow certain
socialist congress will be put into OPP
Grafton. All parties would be repre-
scented and the interallied socialists
favor Switzerland as a meeting place.
Germans Feel Helpless.
Referring to an article in the Berlin
Vorwaerts, the organ of the German
majority socialists, on the interallied
memorandum, NJ. Huysmans said that
it only implied that the German social
lists feel themselves to be more helpless
in the face of the government that the
British and French socialists do before
theirs. The socialists in Great Britain
and France, he added. feel they are able
to fight for their ideas, but the German
socialist majority shows spirit of
greater resignation and has shown it
| for more than q year
NJ Huysmans said the important
! question is not to know whether the
/ German government is ready to make
! concessions, but whether, after the de-
cision of the socialist international con-
| ference, the German socialist majority
will make common cause with the other
socialists in an effort to remove the
| cause of the present conflict which has
! poisoned political life in Europe for
many years.
