BARNARD URGES CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR BE CUT

State Food Chief Explains why Excess Must Go to r ranee. INTDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 1 Every family in Indiana is being asked by

Dr. Harry E. Barnard, representative of Herbert Hoover, national food administrator, in this state, and by the State Council of Defense, to reduce Its per capita consumption of sugar from 4 ounces to at most S ounces and if possible to 2 ounces, in order that there may be accumulated a surplus of 100,000 tons for export to France. There is not now this surplus in the country, Mr. Hoover states, and the only way it can become available Is through a reduced consumption. Mr. Hoover is anxious that nothing be done to interfere with the successful preservation of fruit, in which sugar is so essential. He particularly x cautions state food commissioners against the false economy that might

result from the withholding enough i sugar properly to preserve tne food-1 stuffs now being harvested from fruit ! trees. It is by other, more practical i and less hazardous methods of saving. , that he hopes to have the desired 100,000 tons. Copy of Telegram. Following is the telegram received by Mr. Barnard from Mr. Hoover, and has been made the subject of a special bulletin from the Indiana State Council of Defense, to county councils, through them to be made the subject of a special appeal to the citizenship of the state: "We have received a request from the French Government that we allow them" to export from the United States 100,000 tons of sugar during the next month, and probably more at a later period. "Our own situation is that we have just sufficient sugar to maintain our normal consumption until the first of January, when the new West Indian

"Our consumption is at the rate of 90 pounds per person per year a little under 4 ounces per day per person. "The French people are on a ration of sugar equal to only 21 pounds per annum per person or at the rate of less than 1 single ounce per day per person a little more than the weight of a silver dollar each day. "The English and Italian rations are also not over 1 ounce per day. Will Be Without It "The French people will be entirely without sugar for over two months if we refuse to part with enough from our stocks to keep them supplied with even this small allowance, as it is not available from any other quarter. Sugar even to a greater amount than the French ration is a human necessity. If our people will reduce by one-third their purchases and consumption of candy and of sugar for , other uses than preserving fruit, which we do not wish to interfere with, we can save the French situation. "In the interest of the French people, and of the loyalty we owe them to divide; our food in the maintenance of our common cause, I ask the American people to do this, it is unthinkable that we refuse their request. (Signed) "HERBERT HOOVER."

GREEKS WOULD EXTEND CULTURE THROUGH U. S. Foreign Affairs Minister Says New Regime Will Develop Relations. ATHENS, Sept. 1. (By Mail.) The

minister of foreign affairs. M. Politis, has announced In the Greek chamber of deputies that the new Vehizelos regime would signalize its return to power by extending and developing relations with the United States and by ! giving the first definite recognition to the extensive Greek colonies all over the United States. He submitted several masures to this end, namely, the establishment of consul-generals at New York, San Francisco and Chicago, consuls at Boston and New Orleans and some sixty honorary consular positions at places where there aYe 1,000 or 1.500 Greeks. The project also provides for a national fund to be administered by the Greek legation at Washington. "This national fund will be tised," said the minister, "to aid the societies looking after emigrants arriving in America, getting work for them, looking after them when sick. It will assist in founding , schools, churches, benefit societies and organizations for the spread of Greek literature and fine arts. t To Extend Greek Art. . There was great applause in the chamber when the minister referred to extending Greek art and literature in America as it was the first suggestion that Greece could furnish America something more than toiling masses. It appealed strongly to the national pride, which considers Greece as the birth place of art and literature and rather resents the idea that cheap labor Is what Greece is chiefly contributing to Amrica. The new consular representatives, besides assisting Greeks are looking after their interests, will issue certificates of nationality which will serve WOMAN NOW IN PERFECTJEALTH What Came From Reading a Pinkham Advertisement. 1 Paterson, N.
