Must Save Sugar.

New rules were recently adopted In
New Orleans by the hotels and res
taurants, at the request of the State
Food Administrator. to further con-
serve sugar and meat. The open sugar
howl will no longer be seen on public
tables. and the coffee drinker is linn
tied to one spoon for each cup. The
order reads as follows:
The great general rule for catering
resorts. which include boarding houses
and commissarieS. is the abolition Of
the open sugar bowl The resolutions
were adopted at meeting of hotel and
restaurant men in New Orleans. John
NJ Parker. Food Administrator, de-
clares that the rules will he strictly en-
forced. even if he has to take command
of the inspectors in the field.
The sugar plan for eating places is
being based upon three pounds per
PERSON per month. One teaspOonful is
allowed for small cup. two for
large cup. and three for a pot of coffee
or tea. Two teaSpoOnfulS Is the meas
ure for cereal or fruit orders. A lump
of sugar is counted as equivalent to a
teaspoon. Cane and beet sugar are
barred from bakery and kitchen. Meat
saving is to lie accomplished by using
only eight or nine pounds for each
ninety meals served. Roast meat is
limited to Mondays midday meal.
Stewed. BOILED or beef hash to Wednes-
days and Saturdays midday meals,
and steaks in any form. including ham
burger. to Thursdays midday meal.
Byproducts. such as tongues, livers,
etc. may lie used as substitutes. Fur
Their substitutes are fish. crabs. shrimp,
sea foods of all kinds, rabbits and wild
game. There will he plenty to eat and
there will he a reserve built up for the
soldiers. The latter duty leaves this
country with only ii three-days' supply
ahead. and conservation is wisdom.
THE United States Food Admins
tration has already tied UP the coming
Louisiana crop of sugar by ordering
that no deals ahead be made without
permits. The Sugar Control Commit
tee is still confident that Louisiana will
receive about a cent per pound more
for her crop than last year.
The United States Food Admins
tration has issued similar orders with
regard to the sale of clean rice, and it
is evidently the intent to first take the
full supply needed by the Government
Eefore the product is made available to

The following statement with refer
ence to milk has been made by the
United States Food Administration
Milk is one Of the most important
food sources the human race possesses
For the proper nourishment of the
child it is absolutely indispensable and
its use should be kept up in the diet
as long as possible. Not only does it
contain all the essential food elements
i'll the most available form for ready
digestion, but recent scientific discov-
cries show it to be especially rich in
certain peculiar properties that alone
render growth possible. This essential
quality makes it also of special value
in the sick room. In hospitals it has
also been shown that the wounded re-
cover more rapidly when they have
milk.
g For the purpose of stimulating
growth, and especially i'll children, but
ter fat and other constituents of milk
have no substitutes. Therefore, every
parent owes to himself and to his fam
lily the duty of providing requisite
amounts of milk. butter. cheese and
other dairy products. During this last
winter when there was much agitation
in some of the larger cities over the
price of milk, which was advanced
from ? to 3 cents per quart by reason
of the rapid rise i'm the cost of feed
and labor, many families among the
poor were found giving their children
tea and coffee instead of milk. Such
methods of feeding fail to nourish the
child properly.
In spite of the shortage of milk in
Germany. that country has at all haZ-
ards maintained the milk ration of the
children and in the hospitals. even
though to do SO meant that the adult
population has had largely to forego
its use. In a safety first health CAM
Eaign it must he remembered that il
should be children first

the officers said, the water in every

AND THE FARMER

own land. haul grain or drive stock
to town. II would have done only
little more than il accomplished by
its interdict against the freedom OF the
sea What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition OF
the American farmer in the latter
part OF 1914 and the first half Of 1915
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for a while the use Of the sea as
q highway. And the farmers OF
America faced ruin. know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop OF u.s.
900 bushels OF wheat for seventy cents
a bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost OF pro-
ducing IL. All this time those por-
tions OF the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
II never returned for the farmers OF
those nations which remained cut on
from ocean trafic.
Take the case OF Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia
So in spite Of the efforts Of the gov
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions OF tons have been lost for
lack OF a market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break OF the war until now IL our
government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword.
Why did we draw the sword! To
keep up the price OF wheat and cot
ton, and TO protect trade only? II
someone should order you TO remain
on your farm, and not TO use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear OF loss In
profits from failure to market your
crops? BY no meansl You would fight
TO the last gasp Not TO make money.
but TO be free!
When a man is enslaved. all he
loses in money is his wages. But the
white man has never been able TO AZ
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaved. There rises up
in him against servitude resentment
so terrible that death always is
preferable.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1918-05-16

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
ciaily loves peace. Since the dawn Of
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out Of doors In plain
sight and is spoil OF war-his house.
his grain. his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
rAe things that yesterday represented
his life work. and the life labors OF
past generations Of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dweliers in the cities, because II
takes longer to send TO the farms the
call to arms. II takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast OF the
trumpet Others do not at first under
stand its meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintance. Instead
Of reading half a dozen extras a day.
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
IL is impossible to set the farmers
of the United States on fire by means
OF any sudden spark OF rumor. But
when they do ignite. they burn with
q slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up: but they stay hot. In long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land In the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us OF our cattle or horses. No
saber-rattlers insulted our women. II
seemed 10 many OF us that we were
not at war-the thing was so far on.
We did not realize what giant war
had become-a monster with thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths Of
everything we grew. But finally we
saw that II was SO.
II the Imperial German government
had made and enforced an order that
no American farmer should leave his
