Americans Asked to Limit Use of Sugar
The U S Food Administration urges a two pounds per month per person sugar limit until January 1 1919 to ensure supplies for the Army Navy Allies and civilians. Sugar sources including Cuban beet and Louisiana cane will be drawn on as stocks run low and by mid November new crops arrive. Households should conserve fruit crops and use sugar sparingly with later canning sweetening as supplies improve.
