"'Hie sugar shortage would bo borjie more comfortably," writes .1 medical correspondent to a London paper, ' "if people would disabuse themselves of the idea , that sugar is a necessary article of diet. | "I lie heat and energy supplied br sugar can be obtained quite as • wc-H from any kind of fat and from starchy foods, including oatmeal, bread, rice, nfid potatoes. People got on very well without sugar long ago. "When firsf introduced into England- it -was used only in medicines, and even when it oamo into- general use many people would not cat it, saying that it was | bad for the lungs. J "Tt )s a p-ent mistake to worry beI cause certain food is ■scarp'e or unnro- ! curable. We could live and.be hoalthi 1 on ii diet of oatmeal alone or potatoes ! alone, as manv of the Scottish |uid j renple do. or on rice, the almost j exclusive diet of large section's of the j Eastern races."
