combina.ion Food Sales Forbidden.

Food Administrator T. A. Riordan has received the follow ing telegram from the National Food Administration:
 "On and after this date, all combination sales of food con- modities are forbidden, with the ception stated below. The sale of one or more food commodities upon condition that the pur chaser shall buy one or more other food commodities from the seller is regarded as a combiua- tion sale within the meaning of this ruling Combination sales frequently result in the sale of more foodstuffs than the par ticular purchaser would ordin- arily buy and are therefore determined to be waSteful practice within the meaning of Section 4 of the food administra- tion act of August 10, 1917. The exception is, pending further notice, as, a>wheat conservation measure, the dealer may sell sugar in com bination with corn meal, at the rate of one pound of sugar with two of cornmeal. No other com mbination will be permitted, nor will any other ratio than that here stated be allowed. The dealer shall not sell either sugar or cornmeal at a price yielding him a greater profit than :he has normally enjoyed upon the particular commodity. The dealer is not required to make combination sales of sugar and cornmeal, but may do so at his discretion. Active steps should be taken at once to enforce this decision.
