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, which before 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 ft patriotic American
and use less than your ration- This is but a slight sacri
fice as compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it
yourself.
