abies housewives to buy sugar at from

Every cent raise in sugar from
September ! to January 1 means $751;
0O0, 900 to the American consumer"
Mr.. Hoover said. Numbers of gen
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
weuld have prevailed and the public
robbed Of $18O0Oo,O 900 this year II we
had not taken these actions Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
% cents q pound during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 10 per cent of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
.b5 pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during the war 10
"a pounds, and In France each person
4s allotted little over one pound
month.
"In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration" Mr.. Hoover declared.
IAN appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 tons. We
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped S5,426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
This has been generally followed, al
though such regulations were volun-
tary, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price Is 81 to o Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take profit of no
more than 80 cents hundred-half
cent a pound-On sugar. BY reason of
food administration regulations, bind
ing refiners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at
from 8 to 81 cents pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
8h to 8 cents pound.
There have been some violations of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself of the prices
At which consumers would have been
mulct had we not interviewed. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses In sg-
gravated cases, and we have issued
warnings to first offenders in q great
many instances through our local ad-
ministrstors"

Smith Feels Like New Man
Since Taking Tanlac-Suf-
fered Thirty Years.

One of the strongest and most con-
vincing evidences of the popularity OF
Tanlac throughout America is the
large number Of letters that are being
received daily from we'll known men
and women, telling of the remarkable
results they have derived from its use
Among the many received in the
past few days is the one from John
Smith, 313 Eighth Street, Richmond,
Calf, which is especially interesting.
Mr.. Smith states that he had suffered
for twenty years, with his stomach,
liver and kidneys, and he had reached
the point where he wished each
breath would be the last. He also
says that when he began taking Tan
lac he weighed only one hundred and
forty-eight pounds, but that now he
weighs one hundred and sixty-six-
making a gain of eighteen pounds
and that he feels like new man.
Following is his letter in full:
"To whom it may concern: l,
the undersigned, can truthfully say
that the wonnerful medicine known
as Tanac has done more for me in
thirty days time, than any other med
icine l have ever taken before in all
my life. l have been a sufferer from
stomach, liver and kidney troubles
for twenty years. | have taken six
bottles of Tanlac, and today feel
like a new man.
Before l started using Tanlac it
didn't make any difference what l
would eat or drink, it distressed me
so much that l wished the next breath

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANDY
Utah and Idaho Manufacturers Tell
Public the Truth About the Candy
Situation, Showing Their Consump-
ton of Sugar to be Small.

The candy makers of Utah and Ida
no are planning to tell the genera
public the facts about the candy in
dustry and about candy as a fooc
product.
Due to much misunderstanding anC
to lack of definite knowledge OF
the facts, the candy industry has
been unjustly criticized and injured
Ask the average man or woman how
much sugar goes into the making OF
candy and you will find that it is the
general opinion that all the way from
25 percent to so percent of the coun-
try's production goes into candy max
ing.
This has led many people to be-
lieve that if the candy factories were
still further restricted, or possibly
put out of business, the sugar short
age problem would be solved. But
such would not be the case.
Far from using 25 to so percent,
the candy in normal times, before the
war used something less than 8 per-
cent of the sugar in this country. At
present it is curtailed to A percent.
Even if the entire amount were cut
off from candy making the sugar
situation would not be relieved.
The candy makers contend that all
should share alike in the saving Of
sugar. The manufacturers have al
ready given until it hurts. There is
no more patriotic body of men than
in the candy business and they have
gladly given up their supplies. But
thew now feel that the business inter-
ests of the country call for definite
knowledge of the facts.
People must realize that the candy
industry alone cannot save enough
sugar to solve the problem. Many
people, without knowing the facts,
have felt that the making of candy
coul be curtailed and the sugar prob
lem solved.
With these facts in mind, fair
public should be willing to help snare
in the conservation of sugar to the
end that the candy industry built up
through many years, may survive and
and 90 through WiLliouI LII ei'Si
tailment, as the curtailment now is
coming to the point where the future
of the industry is seriously leopard
lied.
But the facts in the case show that
if no more candy were made at all the
amount of sugar saved would effect
no real relief. Besides it would work
a genuine hardship upon all people,
because each human body Graves
sweets (carbohydrates), which help TO
furnish the energy required for con-
slant activity.
The United States government rec
opnizes the value of candy to its SOL
diers and civilians, and while it has
cut the sugar supply of candy manu-
facturers to the very extreme, 1t does
not want the industry destroyed.
Candy is needed. With the present
sugar allowance to candy makers,
every person in the United States is
entitled to and should have one pound
Of candy each month.

A NEW HOPE FOR THE CONSUM
Err

Baltimore Sun.
That the 'fair price lists" which
have been published in the past by
authority Of the Food Admins straticn
have not had the desired effect of
curbing excessive prices is the beli-f
of many consumers. That the Food
Administration itself is not satisfied
with the present situation is indl-
Gated by the fact that it has devised
a new plan to limit retail prices an !,
will shortly put it into effect through
out the country. Let us hope thai
the new plan will be more successful
than the one which has preceded it.
The present scheme contemplates
the publication of standardized fair
price lists" in every city, county and
town in the country. In every COM
munity the Administration will es-
tablish a price-interpreting commit
tee, composed Of representatives OF
the wholesalers, retailers and con-
sumers. This committee will be
charged with the duty of ascertainins
fair retail prices on basic commodi-
ties and will publish lists which will
give the range Of maximum selling
prices, discriminating between ''casn
and carry and "credit and delivery"
shops. The latter will be entitled to
ask higher prices than the former.
An innovation will be the appoint
ment of ''retail price reporters" in

GERMANY PLANNING
BIG NAVAL OFFENSIVE?
American and British Naval Officers
Are Anxious For Finish Fight
With the Enemy.

Further evidence that Germany, in
it's effort to end the war this summer,
is planning to support it's land often
sive by sending its high seas forces
against the combined British and
American grand fleet, is given in an
official dispatch received at Washing
ton Tuesday from Switzerland.
"a telegram of an official nature y
says the dispatch, "is being spread
broadcast in Germany, which says
that the German admiralty is consid-
ering a big naval offensive. Orders
are supposed to have been given to
keep the whole fleet in readiness and
a certain number Of naval officers of
high rank have been hurriedly recall
ed from Switzerland and other neutral
countries, where they have been
spending their leave.
The Keller Zeitung speaks of ex-
traordinary activity in the ports and
The Hamburger Post publishes an in
terview with Won Tirpitz, who was
asked if Germany was in position
to measure herself with the English
fleet. The admiral naturally replied
in the affirmative, saying t!.at after
their land forces have pushed the
French and English back on the other
side of Paris, it would be the turn
of the kaiser's boats to drive the
English off the high seas
Both in Washington and tn the al
lied capitals German sea offensive
on a grand scale long has been re-
gsrded as a possibility and the ap-
pearance of the Teutonic fleet in :be
North sea at any time would not be
unexpected.
If the battle does come the Ameri-
can naval forces will play their part.
American dreadnoughts under Rear
Admiral Hugh Rodman joined the
British fleet sometime ago.
American naval officers are no less
anxious for a finish fight with the
enemy than are the British. And in
all allied quarters there is supreme
confidence Of the outcome.
