Rather than urging Americans to simply eat less sugar, this 1918 lithograph promotes a specific alternative: Louisiana cane syrup and molasses, presented as the product to buy instead. The poster was printed in Chicago for the Luria-Fowler and Magill-Weinsheimer companies and issued under the United States Food Administration, which asked households to stretch scarce sugar during the war. Sugar was needed overseas for Allied troops and civilians, so home cooks and grocers were encouraged to conserve it in cooking, baking, and sweetening. The poster shows how wartime conservation reached beyond rationing and into everyday shopping choices.
