THE TRUTH ABOUT CANDY One Man Takes His Sugar in His Fruit and Coffee — Another Man Takes His in the Shape of Candy The human body needs constant fuel. Just as coal is fuel for a furnace, sugar, which supplies ¢arbohy- drates, is bodily fuel. Plain, raw granulated sugar is not an attractive way to take it, so people generally take sugar in ways to suit their individual taste. One man takes his sugar in coffee or on fruit. ay Another likes a cake of chocolate, for example. : The cake of chocolate, called candy, consists of cocoa, sugar and milk, properly blended. Is it right to say that the man who takes his sugar in his coffee is on the right road, while the man who takes his in the form of a piece of milk chocolate is wasteful and enjoying a non-essential luxury? One small boy takes several lumps of sugar in his coffee or his por- tion of sugar on his mush. Another little fellow takes his through his favorite piece of chocolate or a piece of stick candy. Is the latter less patriotic than the former? We believe not. The soldier in the camp takes his cake of milk chocolate out with him and it sustains him. The soldier up in the front line trench enjoys its nourishment and it makes him “fight like the devil,” as General Waller of the Marines said. Yet the candy industry, the thirty-eighth largest industry in the United States, an industry supplying a recognized and tremendously vital food product, is now threatened with practical annihilation because many people have not learned the facts. Many people still feel that candy has no food value, that it is a non- essential luxury which uses up maybe a quarter to a half of the sugar in this country, and that by wiping out candy the sugar problem is solved. But that is not so. On the contrary, only 8% of the normal consumption aod (now cut to 4%) goes into making this firmly established food product. Take one cent’s worth of sugar. Put it in a little pile. That’s the amount of sugar used per capita weekly in candy making. The saving of that tiny mite in the home will keep the candy industry alive and enable it to supply men and women and children at home and the men at the front with nourishing, wholesome body fuel. Put a pound of chocolate creams to the test, for instance. Eat a pound on a big, long hike. Then you will know why soldiers crave it. Rs ——— —In normal times the candy industry uses only 8% of the sugar used per —_ in this country. Right now this amount has been cut squarely wo. “CANDY asa FOOD has gone.The Government buys it by the ton” The Manufacturing Confectioners of the State of Washington have requested the United States Food Administration to issue an order limiting single purchase sales of candy and chocolates to the consumer to two pounds per person, the order to remain in full force and effect as long as there is need for sugar conservation, A pledge is also given to assist in all practical ways the equitable enforcement of such an order, The Candy Manufacturers of Washington fr e@-eseece— Sete tena 8 pant ees ee oe ae ee ee a i zs =<, . | | || —_—n ns - " eraere ret 2ereut t L m tw or u n te “ o
