The big drive to save sugar in New
Jersey Is under way. 1t was launched
by William 8. Tyler, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for the State. and he is
asking every man, woman anu child to
help him put it over. He is asking the
people to get along on two pounds per
person per month from now until the
next sugar crop Is received, which will
be late in the fall.
New Jersey residents are as patriot
ic as those Of any other state, and Mr..
Tyler believes they will do their bit In
the sugar conservation campaign, just
as they have done their bit in other
campaigns which were designed to win
the war.
The biggest aid the American people
can give to our soldiers fighting abroad
right now is to save sugar that our SOL
diers and the soldiers and peoples Of
the European countries Joined with ID
will have some sugar.
We are asked to get along on q
household allowance Of two pounds
per person per month. That 10 for use

We can do 1t If other peoples can.

two pounds, the same as ours. France
does it, her allowance being pound

IT, 5-.
Plenty for Canning.
1t isn't going to be hardship for us
to live on two pounds per person per
month in our household requirements.
But there is canning and preserving to
be done, and New Jersey is a big can
ming and preserving state.
Well, there will be an extra allow
ance Of twenty-five pounds per family,
or more If it is required, for canning
purposes. State Food Administrator
Tyler says can all you can, but can.
And can so as to save sugar.
Can without sugar, or can with little
sugar or can with other sweeteners,
such as syrups, maple products and
honey. You can can without sugar
and sweeten the preserves with sugar
when you eat them in winter, when
sugar will be more plentiful.
hn 10 oh nvvfo nd
sugar Is that the crops have been
smaller this year than expected. There
is shortage Of ships to carry sugar
from the producing countries to the
consuming countries. The ships are
ting used to TRANSPORT soldiers to Eu-
l0pe to drive the Kaiser's drrnies 6acA
into Germany. And they are doing it
too. Furthermore, the German ad-
vance, which was started In March,
overrun the beet sugar country In
France, and the Germans destroyed
French sugar refneries. We are re-
gaining some Of that land, but the
crops and factories are gone.
Rules for the 0rocers.
The policy of Food Administrator
Tyler is to save the New Jersey fruit
crop and conserve our sugar supply.
He has asked you to sign a pledge
to your grocer when you apply for
your sugar. The grocer viii sell you
two pounds at a time, and during the
month be will sell you a total Of two
pounds for each member Of your fam
fly.
Or he can sell you your entire
months supply, based on two pounds
for each person in your family If he
desires to. This Is optional with him.
He will have two pledges. There
will be provision on the pledges for
your name, address, the amount OF
your purchase, the date and the num-
Der Of persons In your family.
You will pledge yourself and your
to limit your uses Of sugar
Except for canning and preserving) to
two pounds per person per month. You
also pledge that neither you nor any
member Of your household will buy
any other sugar Except for canning or
preserving) or otherwise seek to OBJ
tain possession Of any sugar during
the months period.
This is very simple, very easy and
very honorable. And 1t will be very
effective In beating the Kaiser.
When you want sugar for canning
apply to your local food administrator
for a certificate, and when he fills it
out present it to your grocer for your
purchase.
To the grocer who sells sugar for
canning the Food Administration will
replenish his stock when he turns into
the State Food Administrator the GER

Sugar certlheates.
Every time a person wants to make
q purchase Of twenty-five pounds OF
sugar for canning OF preserving he
must get certificate.
Grocers must sell only to regular
customers They are depended upon
to help accomplish fair distribution
Of sugar among their customers and
