Are you shocked to see the lady drinking' ships'*
You drink ships every time you use sugar unnecessarily, in a
beve’ age.
Seventy-five per cent, of the sugar used in this country has to bo
brought here in ships Every possible ship Is needed for the trans
portation cf troot's aed studies to the other side.
Eliminate sugar as a luxury, and you release many ships for war
purposes.
