The Sugar Shortage.

Colonel House at a Paris reception was talking about the French sugar shortage. 1 “The French sugar ration is a pound a month —if you get it," ) he said. “Usually you don’t get it, and then you buy your sugar clandestinely. The price is 80 or 90 cents a pound. “After enduring the French sugar shortage for a month or two,” the colonel ended, “you think yery longingly of the peace-time plenty soon to come, and you appreciate as never before the wonderful beauty of the dear old hymn, Tn the sweet by-and-by.’ ”
