THREE WAR MEDALS
BESTOWED ON T’HERO
R«d Triangle Worker Wounded by
Hun Machine Qun at Soissonc,
Tout and Chateau Thierry
New York, August 25.—Flat on his
back in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, \V.
A. Roberts, who has been awarded
three French war medals for bravery
in the fighting zones, is enjoying a
well-earned rest, and is talking freely
of almost anything but why the
French government showered honors
upon him.
Mr. Roberts, a Y. M. C. A. worker
in France, had bestowed upon him the
Croix de Guerre, the badge of the
Legion of Honor, and the Medal Mili
taire. He won them all in three
paonths.
i Roberts was assistant auditor of the
Idichigan Central railroad before he
<wa* selected to be auditor of disburse
ments for the Y. M. C. A. in France,
p.nd to handle more than a quarte.r of
a million dollars a day. He left for
pverseas service February 12, was
wounded by a Hun machine gun at
Poissons, rescued a “Y” secretary amid |
a hail of bullets in the Tout sector
and was touched up by German marks
puanship again at Chateau Thierry.

IN SOUTHERN CAMPS
While Red Triangle Continues to Cali
for Overseas Workers, 1,000 Are
Wanted for Home Service
Atlanta, Ga., August 25. —Men en
dowed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
|Y. M. C. A. to serve in the camps of
the Southeast.
Dr. V* W. Alexander, general re
cruiting secretary for the War Per
ponnel Board of the Y. M. C. A. War
Work Council, declares that there is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords a splend .1 opportun
ity to the man of middle age who is
pot able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
"The Y. M. C. A. needs men for
pverseas service, of course, but the
home camps must not be forgotten,”
explained Dr. Alexander. “From now
on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1,000 men for
the home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur
nish 25 men per month per state to
serve the soldiers in camps such as
Gordon, Jackson, Wheeler and the
others. The constant growth of the
home cantonments and the growing
demand for the Y. M. C. A. work
makes it necessary to recruit “Y”
workers for this side.”
Judge Frank Harwell
Candidate for Re-electicn.
Atlanta, Ga., August 17. — With
the closing of the entries for
state offices on August 15, it was
definitely settled that the judges
of state supreme and appellate
courts are nearly all to be re
turned without opposition.
There are four of the judges of
the state court of appeals in the
running for re-election —Judges
W. F. Jenkins, G. H. B. Blood
worth, Nash R. Broyles and
Frank Harwell; and the latter, an
appointee of Governor Dorsey, is
the only one who has opposition.
Judge Harwell is spending his
vacation time making a quiet
canvass of the state and acquiring
many friends. He is not making
any speeches, but is meeting
many of the voters.
Judge Harwell’s friends are
asking why it is that his opponent,
Alex Stephens, selected him as
the incumbent against whom to
make the race, when there are
two judges now before the peo
ple who were nominated over Mr.
Stephens in the state convention
of 1916, namely Judge W. F.
Jenkins of the state court of ap
peals, and Judge W. F. George of
the supreme court, who was for
merly on the court of appeals
bench. They take the position
that if Mr. Stephens wanted vin
dication in connection with the
action of the convention, he
should have run against one of
the candidates who was put over
him by the convention to whose
action he objected.
However, Mr. Stephens selec
ted Judge Harwell and the race
is on. It promises to be an in
teresting one, even though quiet.
Judge Harwell’s friends are pre
dicting his election by a large
majority.

WHAT FOOD ADMINISTRATION ASKS ~
YOU TU DO TO SAVE SUGAR
1 "■ ■ ■■■■■■
'
For the Householder.
1. No household should have on hand more than two pounds of
sugar at any one time for table and cooking use and not more than
twenty-live pounds for canning.
2. Canning sugar must lie kept separate from that purchased for
household purposes. Check up the quanUty on hand, the amount
of fruit put up and compare it with the original amount purchased.
Any excess canning sugar left over MUST be returned to the
grocer. It is not permitted to use this for table purposes.
3. Do all preserving without sugar wherever possible, adding It
when used in the winter or at a time when sugar will be more
plentiful.
4. Each person in a family is allowed two pounds of sugar per
month, which means that not more than six half lumps or three tea
spoonfuls may be used each day by any individual without ex
ceeding the allowance. This two-pound allotment includes that
used for cooking.
For Public Eating Houses.
1. All sugar bowls must be kept off the tables and individual
sugar furnished each patron.
2. Not more than two half lumps or one teaspoonful of sugar may
be served a customer at a meal. He may have his choice of
lump or granulated sugar but not both.
A Sugar Kitchen Card
Every housewife throughout the
land knows there is a sugar short
age. Perhaps she has gone to the
grocery in a hurry to give a 25-pound
order of sugar for canning and pre
serving and has been told she must
sign a certificate issued by her local
Food Administrator. Or perhaps she
has asked for a 5 or 10 pound bag
of granulated sugar for cooking and
table use and has had stingily meted
out to her a one or two pound bag.
“Do tell us, then, exactly how much
sugar we may have and help us to
make that go round,” is the universal
cry. And that is exactly what the
Food Administration wants to do.
Every territory, down to the small
est town or hamlet, has a local Food
Administrator who is issuing the na
tional rulings as fast as they oome
from Washington. The present maxi
mum sugar ration for household use
Is 2 pounds per person per month.
This means 1 ounce per day or about
6 2-5 level teaspoonfuls. Put that on
your kitchen card where you can see
it from time to time.
Included in this 2-pound ruling, so
far, are all cane and beet sugars, as
well as all raw sugars, brown sugars,
and refiners’ soft sugars.
Sweetenings not included In this,
then, are maple sugar, various kinds
of sirups, honey and fruit juices. The
proper amount of these to use in rec
ipes that call for sugar must be grad
ually learned; but In place of one cup
of sugar the Bame amount of honey is
generally used, while 1 2-3 to 2 cups of
sirup is required. Approximately the
same sweetness is obtained.
Every cup of sirup or honey fur
nishes V* cup of liquid, therefore for
every cup of sirup or honey that is
substituted for sugar, reduce the orig
inal amount of liquid in the recipe V 4
cup, (16 level tablespoons equal 1
cup).
There are certain "do’s” and “do
nots” that may he found suggestive
and helpful on a sugar kitchen card;
Do not serve sugar desserts.
Do not sweeten fruit Indiscrimi
nately.
Do not hoard; —buy only two pounds
at a time if you are a city dweller,
or five pounds if you live remote from
markets.
Do not use sugar on cereals when
fruit juices will do as well.
Do not put an open sugar bowl on
the table.
Do not frost your cakes.
Do use fruit juices for sweetening
summer drinks.
Do can and preserve fruits without
sugar, whenever possible.
Do return to the grocer any unused
balance left from canning allotment.
Do remember that our soldiers need
sugar more than we do.
On every sugar kitchen card should
be writ large a reminder to consult
the Fair Price List, as published from
time to time, when buying sugar. In
this, as in al! other commodities, the
United States Food Administration Is
trying to stabilize the retail price
throughout the country and any over
charge should be reported to the local
Administrator.
We are heirs of great happenings
Shall we surrender our inheritance?
Rigid Sugar Enforcement
Information comes to Dr. A. M.
Soule, federal food administrator, thut
for having served three teaspoonfuls
1 of sugar and five ounces of bread to
a customer at one meal, an order was
Issued by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, fed
eral food administrator for Indiana,
closing for one week the M. A R res
taurant. Ft. Wayne.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 1918
Making The Old Dessert
Into A Patriotic One
A dessert cannot be patriotic and
have sugar as one of its constituents
and yet a dessert cannot be a des
sert unless it is sweet and delicious.
Our problem is therefore to change the
old recipe which contains sugar into
a new one that Is equally as sweet.
Maple sugar, maple syrup, corn
syrup, honey or molasses may be
used for the sweetening of custards,
junkets, gelatine desserts, clear Jel
lies, sponges, frozen dishes, ice creams,
mousse steamed, cereal or tapioca
puddings or fresh fruits. The choice
of the sweetening is a matter of taste.
In place of one cup of sugar called
for in the old recipe use one cup of
honey or from 1 2 8 to 2 cups of corn
syrup. Approximately the same sweet
ness is obtained.
Since every cup of syrup or honey
furnishes of a cup of liquid for ev
ery cup of syrup or honey that is sub
stituted far sugar reduce the original
amount of the liquid in the recipe
cup.
Naval officers and their families
who buy at commissary stores have
gone on the honor system of sugar
purchase established by the Food Ad
ministration for civilians.
Seven Ways For
Daily Sugar Saving
1. Use tresh fruits without sugar.
2. Cook dried fruits without addi
tional sugar; they already contain su
gar.
3. Can more fruit without sugar;
put up fewer jams and jellies.
4. Use less sugar in tea and cof
fee; you will soon learn to like It
better.
,5. Avoid such sugar luxuries as
candy, cakes, chewing gum, sweet
drinks and sodas.
6. Use honey, maple sugar and sir
ups and other sweeteners when avail
able.
7. Cut out all desserts or other
dishes that require much sugar.
Many of the larger hotels of the
country are using no cane sugar In
pastries and desserts.
The Common Table
To the average American the ques
tion of food has been mainly one of
purchasing from the nearest grocer
and butcher what appetiOe and in
come dictate. Where that food comes
from, how much there Is of it in the
world, how universal itß consumption,
has been none of his concern. He
could get what he wanted if he could
pay for it and nothing else mattered
But when America entered the world
war and pooled her interests with her
associates, the whole food situation
' changed. This change concerns not
only governments, but the individual
We have become internationally mild- |
ed even in the matter of food; and
today every American must look on j
himself a* a citizen of the world —a
hungry world —when deciding what |
shall go on his table. Before he helps
himself, he must stop and ask, “What j
is there to eat?" and “How many peo
pie are there to eat It?” For ws ;
must all sit down to a common table, j
Not only have we pooled war inter |
j ests, but we have pooled food re- j
sources with the Allies.
Restaurants and hotels are restrict
' ed to two pounds of sugar for every j
' ninety meals served. This includes j
sugar for kitchen a* well as table use. j
Sugar bowls have been banls
from American dining cars—a trar

I. D. PRICE FOR
R.R.COMMISSIONER
Former Commissioner Os Agriculture
Candidate For Membership
- On State Railroad
Board
Betieving that the farmers and the
entire agricultural interests of Geor
gia are entitled to representation on
'the state railroad commission, as was
i [clearly intended, J. D. Price lias en
j tered the race for that position, and
1 will make as active a canvass as pos
jSible preceding the state primary of
September 11.
J. D. PRICE,
Candidate for Railroad Commissioner
Mr. Price was born in Georgia, has
lived in the state all his life, and has
always devoted himself to farming
;and agricultural pursuits. llis two
opponents are both newspaper men.
For many years Mr. Price has own
ed and operated his own farm at Farm- f
ington, Oconee county. He served his ]
county in both branches of the legis- '
lature —house and senate. As a prac- I
tical farmer he was elected and served j
two terms as commissioner of agricul
ture, and is at present director of the
Georgia Experiment station near Grif
fin.
During his public service he has
been called upon to travel extensively
over the state, so that he not otrty
has a wide acquaintance with' Georgfh
and her people, but has acquired an
intimate knowledge of the conditions
in, and the needs of, the various sec
tions of the state.
Mr. Price has already given consid
erable attention to transportation prob
lems in Georgia; and two years ago
when the big light was on over
Georgia rates, before the railroad com
mission, he arranged to have a hear
ing in opposition to any increase in
rates on agricultural products and fer
tilizer materials. If it had not been
for his activity at that time, the farm
ers would not have been represented,
before the commission.
No farmer has ever been elected a
member of the railroad commission,
notwithstanding the fact that the;
farmers contribute annually more than,
half the tonnage carried by the rail
roads of the state. As he feels ho
is well qualified for this service, Mr.
Price asks, and will appreciate, lh»
support of the voters of Georgia for
tlie place on the railroad commission
to be made vacant by the retirement
of Judge George Hillyer.
