that if the orunt of the attack is

the great battle have been, but the
estimates of Allied observers have
placed the loss of German life at a
staggering figure.
From the very nature of the fight
ing, military experts have pointed
out, the losses of the attackers were
bound to be heavier than those of the
defenders. But in addition to that,
the method of German attack, ad-
vancing troops in waves faster than
machine guns could NOW them down,
must military experts say, have en-
tailed enormous losses.

HERE'S THE WAY TO
MEASURE YOUR SUGAR

How many teaspoonfuls of sugar a
day may each person use under the
ruling of a monthly ration of two
punds? That is a question being
asked by a number of persons, who
wish to do their bit in conserving
sugar and also to stretch out their
allowance and make it last until
they may purchase their next months
supply. The question is answered
in table, prepared by the United
States food administration and being
sent out Of the office Of the county
farm agent.
Using the average household tea
spoon, six level teaspoonfuls may be
used by each person every day. The
government guide for using sugar
suggests that three spoonfuls may
be used in cooking, leaving three
teaspoonfuIs for use in beverages
Approximately one ounce a day is
the daily ration for each person. II
using lump sugar, three Jumps each
day may be used in beverages and
one lump allowed as the equivalent
of the sweet in food at each meal.
