nature of things, it subsided as quick

In the interest of the public' it serves, the
American Sugar Refining Company is earnestly
supporting the Government's policy to regulate
the supply of sugar so that it shall be sufficient
for, the, peeds of all—our soldiers, our ||ies
and ourselves.
With the new crop of cane sugar coming in, the sugar
situation is more favorable ihan it was a month ago. There
will be sugar enough, according to present indications, if ex
travagant use and waste are avoided.
At the same time, an abun
dance of sugar was and still
is locked up in far-away Java,
as unavailable as unmined
gold—because ships cannot be
spared to transport it.
Every 5,000-ton ship which
can be saved by giving
England sugar from Cuba
means the release of a ship
which can make three trips
and take a total of 3,000 sol
diers from the United States
to France.i- -
If we can save the Allies
from taking any Java sugar
in 1918, we will release for £
transport purposes enough
ships to carry over to the ,
Western front and supply !;
about 150,000 to 200,000
soldiers. T,’
At the same time, we* will '
also be giving the Allies the V
necessary sugar. Therefore,
it is to the interest of the <
common cause to save ships
and send soldiers.
The American Sugar Re
fining Company has put forth
every possible effort to keep t
up the supply of sugar for the
United States, even in limited
quantities, and to stabilize
the price to the consumer.

In order to enable the widest
possible distribution of sugar
—so that all may have some
sugar—we distribute Domino
Cane Sugars in convenient- <.
size packages.
These small-unit cartons
and cotton bags enable gro
cers to limit their sales so that
waste and hoarding may be
prevented.: f , ;
It. will be necessary for /
grocers and consumers to
watch carefully their distri
bution and purchases during .
the approaching period of re-
adjustment The refineries
are now starting up and sup
plies of raw sugar coming for- <
ward, but it wUl take weeks,
War has disturbed the
whole world's sugar supply.
It has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but it has
put all nations on a hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first to feel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced on the Con
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today,, two-thirds of this
sugar-producing area is with
in the battle lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply of this
indispensable food. A .
And they came to Cuba—
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its ante stfgfur. During 1917,
Citba sold-and shipped to
Europe nearly 1,066,600 tons
of raw sugar—-one-third of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
of sugar as food in this coun
try/ the nation-wide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con- ,
sumption of sugar has been a
real factor in combating ’ 7
waste. It enabled the Ameri
can housewife to add to the
store of the food of the na
tion at a time/when fruits
and vegetables were plenti
ful and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantries of the coun
try a vast supply of fruit and
vegetables which Would
otherwise have bieen lost.
