Americans Asked to Limit Use of Sugar
The U S Food Administration urges a 2 pounds per month and quarter pound per week sugar ration for all Americans through January 1 1919 to ensure supplies for the Army Navy Allies and civilians.

Households should conserve fruit crops and delay canning sugar use until supply improves.
