Show : The Sugar Shortage . ; Thomas Hunt of the University of ' t California in a bulletin says; The 1 price of foodstuffs will case when our i ' allies have an abundance of food. The sacrifices wc are called upon to make ' are small compared with the sacrifice ; r that is made by the soldiers who hold ; the first line trenches. Our food ad-' ad-' ! ministration tells us that "the money ' spent in the United States for candy ; In one year would sustain Belgium - for two years." It is not the policy of ; ' the United States government to drive 'anybody out of business and therefore : ; candy will be manufactured, but it . I need not find a market, for no one ; needs candy to sustain life. To meet ; ,tbe sugar shortage the first to suffer . should be the candy manufacturers and the candy eaters, and restrictions If should be placed upon these nonessential nonessen-tial citizens No- 27 first of all. How- ever, since the home" kitchens are called upon to meet the situation the i following suggestions are offered: 1 In making muffins use two table-f table-f spoons of corn syrup instead of the : f sugar the recipe calls for. i , In cake, substitute for one-half of the sugar required an equal amount j of corn syrup. ) ' On breakfast foods use corn syrup, l maple syrup or money. : In the making of Jams, marmalades, i preserves, or fruit butters one-half .' the amount of sugar usually added i may be omitted and corn syrup used fnstead, Some fruit combinations may I be evolved that will make jams, etc., j k without sugar for example, apples . ! and raisins, equal amounts of each, ; or prunes and apricots, twice as many prunes, by weight, as apricots. ; ' In puddings, use sugar fruits, such ' as raisins, dates, prunes or figs, or ' : corn syrup, molasses, maple syrup or '. ' sorghum. j If you must have candy, eat fruit i pastes, glazed nuts, gumdrops or V j. marsbmallows. |
