SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma.
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
tho United States Averted q
Famine at Homo In Spite
Of Low Supplies

The fact that the people OF the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption OF sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready TO fol-
low the inJunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July. when our sugar stringency
began TO reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 260,0O0 tons. IN An.
gust only 325,000 tons went into dis
trtbution and in September only 270,-
100 tons. In October the distribution
fell to $4,000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the inJunctions OF the Food
Administration this country would
have been Ia the throes OF a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be absolutely impossible TO
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux.
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump.
ton OF sugar. by II we have been able
10 bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation Is in a position 30
that II We choose we may return to
our normal home use OF sugar, and
Europe, with the release OF ships to 60
far afield, can maintain Its recent re
stricted rations II. however those
nations are TO increase their use of
sugar very considerably It must be by
our continued sharing with then
through limiting our own consump
ton.

". A. SIMPSON, MILK
DEALER, IS ACQUITTED
Was Charged With Bringing Milk
Into District From Un-
licensed Farm.

W. A Simpson, local milk dealer,
was acquitted in Police Court this
morning on charge Of bringing milk
into the District from an unlicensed
Pennsylvania farm. The argument
on both sides was concluded just be-
fore noon.
Following tho argument of tte case
yesterday afternoon counsel I, for ,.. de-
which the court was asked to make
part Of tho Instructions to the jury.
The jury w1s excused and the court
took up the consideration of the instruc-
tions.
The general trend of the instruc-
tions to the jury offered by counsel
for defendant Is that II the jury be-
lieve that defendant in bringing into
the District of Columbia milk from
the Lancaster Sanitary MIX Company
of Lancaster, Pa. did not know that
that milk producing company did not
have a District Of Columbia health de-
partmAnt permit, as required by law, to
ship or bring milk into the District Of
Columbia, then the jury is to bring in q
verdict of acquittal; that If the jury be-
lieves the government has failed to
show that defendant conspired with
the Lancaster concern to violate the
law, If there was violation of the
law, then IT must bring in a verdict Of
acquittal: that as the government has
failed to make out a case on the
charge that defendant did not hold a
permit to bring milk into the District
of Columbia, then they must return q
verdict of acquittal
Counstl for defendant denied that
the information charged any violation
of law; that the District of Coium bia
executive officers had a right to make
regulation that nulified the laws of
other states; affirmed that the milk in
question was produced in compliance
with the law OF Pennsylvania and gen
orally denied every delegation set up
by the government.
