Sugar Shortage Bles-
sing In Disguise

Many people seem disturbed tnat
our government is compelled to put
rationing into effect. A few facts
about sugar from nutrition-heaitn
standpoint may help us to accept
this rationing as a blessing in dis
@uise. says Miss Pearl Mcdonald, nu-
tritionist for the Delaware Agrlcul-
tural Extension Service.
Fifty years or more ago, sugar
consumption in our country was
about 15 pounds per person per
year. But today with improvements
in refining and lower costs, the con-
sumption of sugar has greatly IN
creased. Today the annual consump-
tion per person averages more tnan
two pounds each week for each per-
son.
Two pounds of sugar a week per
person means that about one-hftht
of the energy needs of the average
person for each day is met by one
food; namely, sugar. Sugar supplies
nothing to the diet but energy, ana
the body needs in addition to energy
such things as proteins, minerals and
yitamins for proper nourishment.
With a high consumption OF sug-
ar, Miss Macdonald states that it is
difficult to include enough milk,
eggs, fruits and vegetables in the
diet to supply all the proteins, miner
ais and vitamins for proper nour-
ishment.
From a nutrition standpoint, it is
better, according to the nutrltlonlst'
to get a large part of our sweets
from fresh and dried fruits and veg
etables. Meeting a larger part OF the
sugar needs of our bodies through
consumption of fruits and vegetables
may mean better health, for such
foods are also rich in the protec-
tive minerals and vitamins

ALL OUT WAR!
Colora, Md.
Feb. 13, 1912

I've 4Op ~ =
Gentlemen:
We are being painfully defeated
in this the most serious War in
which America has ever been en-
gagged. The situation is GRAVE.
This must be stopped! It can't
be stopped unless we all do MORE
than we have been doing--go "ALL
OUT.
The Government, now awake to
the danger, has drastically cut the
use of tin plate by order dated Feb.
11th., but the Pork & Beans, Beer,
Coffee and Tobacco can no longer
be packed in cans, and the Kraut,
Beets, Carrots land other products
are limited, the Government con-
siders certain foods Essential for
Army, Navy and Civilian use, and
has demanded unlimited production.
Great quantities of tomatoes
and peas (Which are eaten by Eng
land) have been added to our own
requirement, but all corn used is
for our own Forces. Corn has been
classed ON the first and most essen
tial list" and Gamers have been
asked to produce 24,O00,OOO cases.
more If they can. OF this quantity,
the Government has reserved" in
advance 100000 cases--will prob
ably take more as our War Plans ex-
pand. Prices paid for these goods
are to be set by the Department of
Agriculture, which is establishing
and will announce parity prices
to be paid Growers.
This territory produces large
quantities of the finest Whole Grain
Shoe Peg and Bantam Corn packed
in America, but increased production
is essential. Labor may be scarce,
and we may feel that we can do no
more, but Where there is will
there's way" and we must not say
it can't be done".
This is ALL OUT WAR. Food is
second only to bullets. Corn has
been classed a first essential. 1t
must be planted in increased acreage
to be packed in desired volume.
The Gamers have agreed to
pack it regardless of profit--to pay
Government price and take Govern
ment price.
All Farmers who have been
Sweet Corn Growers before, should
feel it their DUTY to continue to
grow in 1912, and where ever pos
sible increase their Acreage.
Farmers who have not hereto
fore produced this Essential cash
crop, should plant 5-10 or more
acres.
Other corn growing sections are
arranging to pull" the corn col
lectively, to open schools later so
larger boys and girls can do their
Bit, to release older folks from
Welfare during the season, to re-
cruit well-to-do housewives in land
and factory "Legions"--To Do The
Job.
We may not be able to carry a
gun, but we can do this right here
at home.
Secretary Wickard, has said,
Food will win the War and write
the Peace"
In doing this job, you will be
"the man Cor woman) behind the
man behind the gum.
The local Gamers have volun-
teered to do their utmost in this
effort and you are asked to contact
any ona--S-p--fartmathramthartha
them. regarding acreage. seed, and
information.

Parkinson Demands
Curb on 'Chise|ers'
Posing as Lawyers
Says lox Rules Permit
Many Non-Members Of
Bur to Practice Here

Kenneth N. Parkinson, chairman
Of the Committee on Legislation Of
the District Bar Association, charged
last night at a meeting Of the
Women's Bar Association that pres
ent rules permit persons who are
not members Of any bar to call
themselves District lawyers.
1T was our conclusion years ago."
he told the group. which met at the
New Colonial Hotel, that there are
literally hundreds practicing before
various departments and Govern
ment agencies who were not men,
bers of our bar, yet held themselves
out as SUCH"
He explained that only those ap-
proved by District Court are actual
members of the District bar. Other
lawyers. he continued, who are
members Of the highest court of
their State may practice before the
Court of Appeals, although not ac-
tually a member of the local bar.
Mr.. Parkinson said, however, that
no rules exist to stop others from
practicing before Govern ment
agencies.
The present inadequate legal rules,
he declared, permit lobbyists, rack
eteers and chislers," posing as law
yers, to exact heavy tribute" from
the uninformed. To remedy the
situation the speaker called for
legislation to forbid practice before
Government agency unless a men,
Der of the bar in the jurisdiction in
which he maintains an Office. He
also demanded penalties for those
who pose as lawyers but are not.
Another speaker was George P.
Barse. counsel to controller of the
currency, who discussed the posi-
ton of woman lawyers in the Gov
ernment.
Mrs. Charlotte A. Hankin. chair
man Of the associations Legislation
Committee, led the discussion on
pending District measures. Approved
in principle were bills to merge
Police and Municipal Courts, create
a department of recreation and pro-
vide more stringent regulations for
charitable institutions.
