Not Seattle houses , upon whose shoulders rests the enormous responsi« bility of supplying the family sweet-tooth. They are here to tell the world that. They are also here to not only ask, but DEMAND who HAS the elusive sweet grains. It is a sweet mystery, but also a tragic one, The honor of American housewives is in jeopardy. Suspicious grocera have accused them of “HOARDING ugar, and many have adopted the slogan—"“No groceries, no sugar’—that is to say, when Mrs, Housewife goes to her neighborhood grocery store for her 15-cent allotment, she may not receive it unlesa she buys potatoes, fruit or other groceries.
