AND HOW TO COOK THEM oO” SAVE SUGAR Reasons Why Our Government Asks Us to Save Sugar With Practical Recipes for Sugarless Desserts, Cakes, Candies and Preserves. One ounce of sugar less per person, per day, is all our Government asks of us to meet the world sugar shortage. One ounce of sugar equals two scant level tablespoonfuls and represents a saving that every man, woman and child should be able to make. Giving up soft drinks and the frosting on our cakes, the use of sugarless desserts and confections, careful measuring and thorough stirring of that which we place in our cups of tea and coffee, and the use of syrup, molasses or honey on our pancakes and fritters will more than effect this saving. It seems but a small sacrifice, if sacrifice it can be called, when one recognizes that cutting down sugar con- 08 FOODS THAT WILL WIN THE WAR sumption will be most beneficial to national health. The United States is the largest consumer of sugar in the world. In 1916 Germany’s consumption was 20 lbs. per person per year, Italy’s 29 to 30 lbs., that of France 37, of England 40, while the United States averaged 85 lbs. This enormous consumption is due to the fact that we are a nation of candy-eaters. We spend annually $80,000,000 on confections, These are usually eaten between meals, causing digestive disturbances as well as unwarranted expense. Sweets are a food and should be eaten at the close of the meal, and if this custom is established during the war, not only will tons of sugar be available for our Alhes, but the health of the nation improved.
