Sugar
NEED FOE CONSERVATION|
Instructions issued by United
Food Administration.
The sugar crop in the count j
ries from which we draw our,
supplies, as well as our own do j
mestie beet sugar crop, has;
proved smaller than anticipat
ed,
Activity of submarines and
; the rapid increase in the j ate of;
sending our troops to Europe;
have rendered the shipping situ
ation so acute that it is impossi
ble to dispatch ships to bring
jsugar from distant points,.
The Food Administration has;
therefore found it necessary to;
(adopt radical conservation mea-i
.sures for sugar and it counts on
[the loyal support and as si.stance,
i
j of merchants and tlie entire con
suming public.
The Federal Fu»>d At.1 m 1 nis tra
dors of the various communities
are authorized to permit retail-'
;ers to s,ell 3 pounds per mo-nth
■ l‘or each member of the familv A
I to be purchased in quantities not
'greater than 2 pounds at one;
dime except in the case of can-,
jniug.
It is the intention of the Food;
Administration to permit all su
jgar necessary for canning and
(preserving.
Therefore a permit will be
issued by the Administrator for
an amount of sugar not in excess
of 25 pounds and when this am
ount has bee" consumed for leg
itimate preserving purposes, a
; like amount may be obtained
upon securing another permit.
