The Food Administration wishes to
specially caution every one that We
have no sugar to waste. Lifting Of
restrictions does not mean that the
supply exceeds the demand; it means,
rather, that the American people have
proven their ability to limit their
usage without compulSion. If the old
wasteful customs of ante-bellum days
should be resorted to, the good &C
complished through six months of
careful conservation would be over
come. Sugar is obtainable in sufficient
quantities, but we have no surplus
Eat plenty, but wisely and without
waste.
Sugar has been selling at an average
of ten cents a pound. Had it not been
for the Food Administration the price
would have been twice as high, to say
the least. Hence, on this score alone,
the Food Administration has saved the
people of the United States more than
$15,OO0,O0O.

TRIBUTES FROM

Following a tour of South England,

comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
'These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated on the way in which it is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work."
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
II left London so shortly after my
drive to Winchester that had no
early opportunity to thank you for

you placed az my disposal for the trip.

CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARGHANGEL
Fed Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archangel by the
American Red Cross with 1900 tons
of drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at $1,511, 233.
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons Of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross,
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting to over $2O0O,0O0.
Major c. T. Williams of Baltimore
was in charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly a men,
Der Of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, at one
time a member of the latter commits
sion, but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medi-
cal end of the ArchangeI expectation.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part OF the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate Of about
$4,000 a week. The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that 80 per cent. of them were
tubercular.
In addition TO drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was for the
comfort, convenience and pleasure of
the Allied soldiers. Just a few of
these articles were playing cards,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandOlins,
accordeons, ukaleleS, monographs,
cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snowshoes,
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles,
prayer books, boxing gloves, games
music, books, cigarettes, candy and
dried fruits.
The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the Kola
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation. was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the relief ex-
pendition was sent are virtually iso-
lated from the outside world because
