ICE CREAM FAMINE.

The scarcity of ice and regulations
concerning the use Of sugar are hav-
ing a natural effect upon the manu-
facture Of ice cream which has for
many years been regarded as an es-
sential, especially during the preva-
lence of heat waves. In the larger
cities there is dearth in this COM
modify while the mercury IN the
thermometer is near the century
mark.
The shortage is being felt in Alex
andria also, and early last night the
proprietor of one of the principal
cafes of the city placed a sign or his
window bearing the following: "Fifty
gallons of ice cream received and on
sale" The result was that a stream
of purchasers soon began to invade
The place, some customers eating
plates Of this great desideratum in
the cafe and others carrying it away
in boxes.
The production OF ice cream, like
every other essential in these days, Is
controlled by the larger manufactur-
ers. Most of the product disposed of
in Alexandria is brought here in
large trucks which cisit all the lunch
houses as well as the smaller dealers
in every section Of the city. The re-
ceptacles of the previous day are re
moved and fresh supplies installed,
while the icing and all preliminaries
are conducted by the manufacturers
agents. The retail dealer has nothing
to do but dish it out.
We often contrast conditions today
with those Of many years ago when
all the ice cream disposed of in Alex
andria was manufactured in the city
Dealers gathered ice from the river or
Hunting Greek during The winter sea-
son and the surplus, or that which
was not needed in the manufacture of
ice cream. was sold from wagons on
the streets. Besides, ice cream in
those days was made mostly from
cream, which made it mucn more
palatable than at present when neces-
sari!y milk enters largely into lis
production.
In the olden times numbers Of ice
j cream stands were in the public mar
ket. Some may remember Gallon.
the vendor in ante-war days. For
many years the late Henry Brcngle
conducted business in house next to
the Citizens National Bank. He en-
joyed a large patronage.
The increasing demand for ice
cream has, of course, brought about
deterioration in quality. Although re-
freshing and greatly sought, it lacks
the boiy and richness of that of other
days. ~

The great problem Of society is how
to increase production. It is how to
get thirty bushels OF wheat to the acre
instead of fifteen. a full bale Of cot
ton to the acre instead Of onc-ouarter
OF bale, TO get COWS that will average
500 pounds OF butter g year instead
OF about $50, to make ten yards of
