Today, the ministry Of food ranks In

outcome are interlocked with the food
problem.

ed weight. including such bone as is
usually delivered by the butcher. Two
ounces of poultry and game are reck-
oned as one ounce OF meat.
Bread Allowed for Meals
Two ounces of bread are allowed
for each meal, including the afternoon
tea. Only two-sevenths OF an ounce
sugar may be had for each Of the four
meals, and hour is limited to one
ounce for luncheon and one for dinner.
In arriving at the weight of the -four
and sugar the proprietor must take
into consideration the fact that cakes.
pastries, biscuits, confectionery and
similar articles contain 80 per cent.
of -four and 20 per cent. of sugar by
weight.
In many places now sugar is served
In tiny paper envelopes, each con-
tanning the amount allotted by law.
While the food controller has not
yet placed the private home on ra-
tons. he has made strenuous appeals
to housekeepers to see that voluntary
rations are maintained. Bread, meat
and sugar being the most important
articles Of diet, the controller has
asked that each person limit the
weekly diet to not more than four
pounds of bread, a half pound of
sugar and two and half pounds of
meat. His appeal has met with wide
spread response, but recently Lloyd
Davenport in speech in the house Of
lords warned the country that the
bread consumption must be cut down
still more If forced bread rationing
were to be avoided.
Can't Use Sugar in Bread.
In order to conserve the supply of
wheat flour and sugar. the controller
recently put into effect orders which
hit not only the public eating houses
but the home. and hit them hard. I'm
der these provisions bakers or other
food sellers can use no sugar in max
ing bread and they cannot sell currant
bread, Sultana bread or milk bread.
In addition to being obliged to sell
bread by weight, they must see to 1t
that every loaf is at least twelve
hours old before 1t leaves their shops,
and no baker may exchange bread for
other bread which he has sold.
