The cost of the United States Food Administration for it's first years work was less than two cents for every person in the United States. It's work, with the ooopera' tion O. patriotic Americans, has saved the Allied nations from star vatlon, as evidenced by expressions from the food controllers of France Italy and Britain.

LABOR PLANS HOLIDAY
American Federation Will Make La
Dor Day Slogan swim the War
for Freedom"

Last years Labor Day celebration
was, in general, solemn and serious.
The war note was much in evidence.
1t will be even more so this year, but
President Gompers calls upon union
labor everywhere to engage in great
public demonstrations attesting to
labor's absolute loyalty in the war.
The net effect will be a great ma
tional observance Of the holiday and
national illustration of labor's deter
mination to do everything in its pow
er to bring the war to successful
conclusuion.
There are now, according to the
figures Of the American Federation of
Labor, about 100000 union men on
the rolls Of that organization, about
3 per cent of the population of the
country. 1t is expected that great
mass meetings and the usual large pa
rades will be decided upon by the city
central labor unions, in order to COM
ply with Mr.. Gompers's suggestion.

THE SUGAR QUESTION NO. 3&4I
SUGAR QUESTIONS NO. b.
CANNING.

Is. Why does the food administra-
tion at present encourage canning
without sugar?
Because perishable fruits would be
lost if not canned. If fruit is steril-
lied and air excluded, sugar will not
be needed as a preservative and
enough sugar can be added when the
fruit is eaten to make it palatable.
16. Can jams and iellies be made
later when sugar is more plentiful?
Yes; from the fruit pulp and juices
that have been sterilized and canned
or bottled without sugar.
IL. How small an amount of sug ar
can be used in making jams, jellies,
and preserves which depend upon sug-
ar as well as sterilization for their
keeping qualities?
Allow no more than three-fourths
of pound of sweetening to each
pound of fruit One-half pound for
sweet fruits is enough.
Is. Can sugar substitutes be used
in canning?
Yes. Corn sirups and other table
sirups not made from granulated sug-
ar can be used with sugar. In some
parts of the country suitable varieties
|of canned sirups and sorghums are
available for preserving without add
ing any sugar.
10. How else may fruits be saved
without the nse of sugar?
s Some fruits may be dried; others
may be stored in cool cellar. Fruit
pulp may be evaporated to PASTE
thus concentrating the natural fruit
sugar.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

Resolutions passed at the recent
joint session of the Florida Anti -Tu-
berculosis association and the confer
Ience of city health officers, meeting
under the auspices of the state board
.of health, urge the latter institution
Immediately to take radical steps in
combating tuberculosis in this state.
The resolutions suggest specifically
that the state board of health imme-
diately employ and put in the field a
tuberculosis specialist who shall trav-
el and do work in the interest of men
discharged from the army on account
of tuberculosis. Naturally his work
would also touch any other persons in
the community affected with this dis
ease. The resolutions also suggest
the institution Of state tuberculosis
camp under the auspices of the state
board of health to which the discharg-
ed soldiers may be sent for treat
ment, and such other tuberculosis pa
tients as could be accommodated as
well. 1t is further proposed that ap-
preparations be secured at the next
session of the legislature making pos
sible the enlarging and permanent
maintenance of the state tuberculosis
camp.
The evening leader., 1918-08-23
SUGAR QUESTIONS NO. A.
SUGAR PRICES.

20. What is the average retail
price of sugar in the United States?
From 81s to 10 cents pound, vary
ing slightly in different localities.
During the Civil war sugar sold at re-
tail for 35 cents a pound, when there
was no real shortage. Speculation
then was rampant; now it has been
checked by food administration regu-
lation.
II. How have prices been regu-
lated?
By voluntary agreement with pro-
ducers ard refners, with regard to the
price of the raw sugar and refners'
margins, and by establishing maxi
mum margins for wholesalers and re-
tailsrs.
~. Would prices be higher if there
werf no control of sugar?
The price would, in the face of the
world shortage, have mounted rapidly,
as it has in countries where no control
exists. AS the American people con-
sumo upward of 8,OOO,OO0,O00 pounds
annually, each cent per pound increase
would cost the people more than $780,
100000 year.
%. How can / know whether my
grocer is charging excessive prices
for sugar?
Consult the list of flair prices" pub
lished in the newspapers or write di-
rectly to the state food administrator
or his representative in your vicinity.
"a. What penalty is there for the
small retail grocer who is found
guilty ef charging excessive prices?
Wholesalers, all Of whom operate
under federal licenses issued by the
food administration, may cut off his
supplies.

When tho considered history OF the war comes

preliminary preparations prior to the outbreak
of war; (2) her superior marshaling OF man
power; (S) her free use Of corruption in hostile
and neutral countries; (4) her complete unscrup-
