HEALTH REPORT; INFANT
MORTALITY INCREASING
BUFFALO, March 10—The acute
ness of the sugar situation of the coun
try demonstrates once more the utter
jncapicity of the Food Administration
to efficiently serve the people in a cri
sis like the present.
Sugar has been declared by all
doctors and dieticians as an absolute
necessary in the make-up of all health
ful diet. Health Commissioners thru
evt the country are iss 'ng bulletins
to the effect that infant rrorality is
increasing at an tiarmiag rate, and it
-is essential that mothers should be
granted an increased supply in sugar
as soon as possible. But the actual
and visable supply is growing less and
many refinering industries and other
enterprises, depending in whole or in
ptirt upon sugar, are preparing to
tie
EVAPORATED
LOGANBERRIES
Evaporated loganberries can be
used for practically all the purposes
for which the fresh arc adapted.
These should be soaked over night
before using, then lift from Juice
luid use as yon would a fresh berry.
Do not stew before using, and al
ways save the juice from which the
berries are taken, as it can be used
tar all kinds of desserts and jel- io“.

close clown their businesses or reduce
their working forces.
Close inquiry into the present short
age has shown that the crisis devel
oped out of the conflict between the
Food Controller’s Department and the
Sugar Trust Officials. The trust offi
cials informed the government that
the shortage could have been antici
pated and the supply kept at normal if
the Food Control Hoard had not fix
ed the price too low.
The price of the raw product was
originally fixed at $7.25 per hundred
weight, and the government would not'
allow the first hand dealers to pay
more . The trust said there was an
abundant supply of Cuban raw sugar,
but it could not be purchased at he
government price, refined and deliv
ered to the small distributors at the
price set by the Washington Authori
ties.
(When the government asserts and
exercises the right to fix prices to
lCarge and small dealers, it simply
creates conflict and confusion. It is
a futile effort to try to solve a prob
lem that cannot be solved under the
present economic organization of socie
ty. In asserting and exercising the
right to fix prices, the government also
asserts the right to seize commodities.
% t the government wants to feed,
cloth and house its people as humanity
dictates that they should be cared for,
the people through their government
must become the actual producers
as well as the distributors. Real, an.1
not the sham democracy however, must
prevail. But this would be Socialism.
Yes, citizens, do you think it is more
important to save capitalism—which
serves capitalists so faithfully—th;ui
to help inaugurate a form of govern
ment that will make it really one of,
for, and by the people? Ed.)
