MRS. AMERICA
MEETS THE WAR

Sugar rationing has scored tho

Needed for the production of in
dustrial alcohol which goes into
smokeless powder, sugar today is as
much a weapon as a flying fortress
Here are some suggestions from the
governments consumer division on
how Mrs. America can do her part
on the home front: Make fewer
desserts hat require large amounts
of sugar. Serve more fresh fruits,
naturally rich in sugar. Use dried
fruits, such as raisins, dates, figs,
prunes, peaches and apricots with
breakfast cereal, and in place of
candy. Try less sugar in coffee and
tea and stir we'll what you do use.

the Red Cross. The average man in
service is adequately outfitted by
the Government and doesn't need
additional clothing unless he's sta

into the field on long campaigns. In
that case, the commanding officer
will apply to the RedCross, which
will then arrange for the sweaters
to be knitted. By this system, mil
lions of pounds of valuable wool
can be diverted to more essential
purposes.
The girdle panic is off. But it
took an official government pro-
nouncement to do it. Foundation
garments, Mrs. America is assured
will be allotted limited amount of
rubber thread necessary to hold
that line. But don't stop your ex-

sisters.
