SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Na
tion’s War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
By Reducing Consumption People of
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
of Low Supplies.
The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly’ awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 400,000 tons per month,
a total of 1,600,000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 200,000 tons. In Au
gust only 325,000 tons went Into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
000 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 230,000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely Impossible to
reduce consumption to a point wffiere
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American diet
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre
dominantly as this reduced consump
tion of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that if we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump
tion.

i There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed- Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
• A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy
ing liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

“A SPLENDID TONIC ”

Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc
tor’s Advice, Took Cardai
And Is Now Well.
1 Hixson, Tenn. —"About 10 years ago
I was...” says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place. “I suffered with a pain in
my left side, could hot sleep at night
i with this pain, always in the left
i side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I
j took one bottle, which helped me and
• after my baby came, I was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
i there.
I at first let it go, but began to get
weak and in a run-down condition,
so I decided to try some more Cardui,
j which I did.
i This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. Jr
has been a number of years, still
have r.o return of this trouble.
i I feel it was Cardui that cured me.
and I recommend it as a sp’endid fe
male tonic.”
Don’t allow yourself to become
i weak and run-down from womanly
! troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sideache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out
feeling, are all nigns of womanly trou
ble. Other women git relief by taking
