Americans Are
Favored byLow
Price Of Sugar
Most Nations Pay M u c h
Higher Price for This
Product

According to statistics, sugar Is
one Of the cheapest food products
bought by the American housewife
day in and day out. In Australia
and New Zealand, where the per
capita consumption is thirty pounds
more per year than in the United
States. q higher price Is maintained.
The standards Of this country in
refining sugar. not only insure uni
form color, granulation, density and
purity, but give it unlimited keeping
qualities. Besides, Americans are
offered sugar in many inviting forms,
conveniently packed to suit their
needs.
The low price or sugar, its many
uses, and the important part it
plays In the diet should not be over
looked. It is one of the chief ingredi-
ents in wholesome desserts, includ-
ing puddines, custards and ice cream.
It improves the taste appeal Of
beverages, nutritious stewed and
fresh fruits, also breakfast cereals.
Used as seasoning with salt, sugar
| neightens the flavor Of vegetables
rich In vitan1ins and minerals.
The healthy, well-fed United
States Army consumes considerably
more sugar per capita than those
in civilian life. Inasmuch as the
diet Of these soldiers is constantly
watched by medical and dietary
experts, this consumption Of sugar
is significant. Good food promotes
good health. The Sugar Institute

This was true OF women as well as

This accounts for the startling
realism o. the hundreds OF scenes
that comprise the film masterpiece.

were enlisted in the ranks and gave
expert advice in setting up and d.
