Mrs. Grace therefore issues the
following appeal - to the women of
the state:
"Reduce per capita consumption of
sugar one-hailf, for this country is far
in excess of any other in the con
sumption of sugar in the form of lux
uries. If the use of non-essentials
as represented by candy, soft drinks,
chewing: gum, etc., is curtailed one
half, a plentiful supply of sugar for
the essential industries and house
wives will be assured. The coming
canning and preserving season makes
this imperative. There can be no
question that the curtailed demand
reduced dry goods prices, hence all
consumers of sugar in the state are
asked to co-operate, thereby causing
a. similar reduction in the price of
sugar."
