Number of Pounds in the State Al
lows Just So Much to Each Per-
son and That is Simple
Explanation.
CALL FOR PUBLIC HELP
Industrial Association Receives Let
ter from Administrator, Ask
ing Aid in Still More
Conserving.

| James M. Fulton, secretary OF the
Keokuk Industrial association, has
received letter from J. f. Deems,
| Iowa state food administrator. ex-
| planning how and why sugar must be
conserved to the last possible grain
during the rest of this year. Mr..
Deems says:
| A crisis in the sugar supply con-
fronts our people.
There will be sugar enough to go
around only if every person econo-
mics in it's use.
| Householders can have two pounds
month per person, public eating
places can buy two pounds for every
ninety meals served, and business
concerns manufacturing products con-
| tanning sugar can have SO percent, or
less of their requirements. The re-
mainder will be distributed for home
canning and preserving as long as 1t
lasts.
Duty of Every Citizen.
It becomes the duty of patriotic
citizens:
+ To conserve sugar.
| To omit its use when possible.
To cut down consumption of candy,
soft drinks and sweets.
To decline to eat cakes containing
sugar.
To demand ice cream in which sub
stitute for sugar are used.
| To learn to use cereals, coffee and
sauces with less sugar or no sugar
at ALL
To urge everyone to save sugar
whenever possible.
Cut Out the Refreshments.
] Let the social affairs at which cake
and ice cream requiring sugar are
served, be abolished, no matter what
may be the good cause for which it
usually is held.
1t is essential that fruits be pre-
served and vegetables canned. 1t
can be done without sugar, or with a
much reduced quantity of sugar.
Fruit juices can be preserved and
sugar added after the shortage is
over Fruits and vegetables can be
dried. Thoroughly tested methods of
canning without sugar have been de-
yeloped and home demonstration
agents are glad to instruct the women
of the state in easy courses of maxi
mum canning with a minimum of
sugar.
Simple Matter Of Division.
1t is a matter of mathematics
there is just so much sugar T,900, 900
pounds for Iowa for AugusD and so
many customers. Each must sacri-
fee a little that everyone may be
provided with his fair share.
Will you not help make the situa-
ton clear to Iowa people, through
your associates?
Will you not urge popular accept
ance of the program of sugar saving?
Will you not think of the feasibility
of organizing total abstinence from
sugar clubs in your community?
And will you not interest the men,
bers of your organization in this vital
war work for the summer?
