It was at a time pf day that everyone was bftsy at work in his own depart ment and the tiro had burned through the roof of the milling feed room before 4t was discovered. This room is ten nr twelve feet from the engine boilers hut separated by a thick brick wall. This building was very near to the mill prop er and was the store house for the stock feed, containing 4T>00 bushels of corn in the vb ticks- and several hundred husli rN- <?f dairy feed.

Do you speak sideways, above, be low, or six inches away from the trans mitter of your telephone? You should talk directly iato the transmitter ? not simply at it.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR ; ALLIED NEEDS GROW Americans Asked to Use No More Than 1 v Two Pounds Per Person Per Month. V/Jv v ? ' ? ' | Shortage May Last Until Beginning of^I919? When New Sugar Crop Arrives. After ii i;i iv i ii a careful survey of I he | world sugar situation llle !J, s. Food ! Administration has asked Htft Amerl ?ui public lo UHK NO MOHK THAN WO POUjNHS OF SUGAR I 'Kit SON A MONTH until January V. 11M0. Increased Sugar demands from th? Allleil nations where the present sug ar radon Is already reduced to the lowest possible level ? and (ho need of keeping our army and navy supplied are two of the leading causes of the curtailment of America's sugar ration, Americans are requested to make two pounds of sugar per person (half a pound a week) serve for all sugar uses In the household ? Including cook ing and all sugar served at the table. Public eating places, as well as housewives, will be Required to limit their o8? of sugar to two pounds for every ninety meals served. In ths U. S. Food Administration's cafeteria at Washington, where employees of the Food Administration take their noon meal, one pound of 8Ui*??r is used for every 120 meals served. The U. S. Food Administration is rontldei.it that the American public v^lll heartily agree to reduce household use of sugar here to a level more nearly equal to the present restrictions among the Allied nations. The situation which the United States faces In Its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to the Al lied world is as follows ; The sugar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc tion from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipat ed, and the inability of the United 8tates and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other , distant sources on account of ttie imperative call for ?hips -for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from suoh quarters. Added to this already difficult situation, the quantity needed by the Army and Navy greatly exceeds earlier eati matea; we must send a large amount to France and Italy to take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian invasions, dur ing which much beet land was over run and many facto iea destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were | lost recently through submarine sink> ings off our Atlantic coast. The Food Administration in confi dent that the American people, <wllh the record of wheat savings behind It, having by voluntary savings sent 140, 000,000 bushels of wheat to the ATlle* after prartlcally every bushel had been exhausted from our normal aurplua, will with the same spirit save th* I sugar situation of the world. GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION 4 Is sugar necessary in the diet? . Neither cane nor beet sugafc is necessary. In the average American diet all the sugar needed may ordi narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre served and dried fVuits. What are the general sugar saving rules? Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and sweet. cakes. The American people last year spent ? enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups. Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness. Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and other starchy foods rather than from 9ugar. Sugar excels them as an energy-food only because it pro duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since " they supply more than merely the fuel need. How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities known to everyone ? Two pounds per month means aBolit 8 ounces per week, or a little more than 1 ounce a day. This daily ration is a trifle more than 2 tablespoons level full. It should be remembered that this is to# include all sugar used for any purpose whatsoever ? for table use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc. I ? - FRANCE AND BELGIUM j. GET AMERICAN SUGAR ( I - - j Ninety-live per rent, of all refined j sugar sent from t lie United States to j the Allied nations went to France and j Belgium during (he first, five months j of this year. France got 72 per rent., or neajHy 33.000.000 pounds, and Belgium receiv ed nearly 11,000,000 pounds, or 23 per rent. In each country this sugar was doled out by a strict rationing organization. The entire amount to the Allies In these five months? 23,791 tons, almost : half of which was shipped in May ? Is I ; only about one half of 1 per cent, of i I our total annus! consumption, t ' SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL TO NEUTRAL NATIONS Only 797 ti>ns of refined sujcar were shipped from America to neutral na tions during the first five months of this year. This amounted to only 3.2 ! per cent, of the total exports to all countries. Mexico received more than Ifhlf the amount we exported to neu trals. SAVE SUGAR. Sucnr mean* Ships? Ships mean Soldiers ? ? Soldiers rneftu Victory. Learn to Get Along Without Sugar It has been done before. A hundred years ago re fined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and you can use honey also. Besides there are syrups. The natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did cen turies ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this way. The Allies do it now. England, winch befofb the war used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds per head a month now; France one and a half pounds, and Italy only one. Show yourself a patriotic American and use less than your ration. This is but h slight sacri fice *s compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it yourself. ?
