administrator for Lancaster county:
The rapid manufacture new
crop beet sugar in the west and the
new crop Louisiana cane sugar in
the south, together with the freer
railway transportation conditions,
the reductions that we have made in
the consumption of sugar in the
manufacturing trades and the pa
triotic conservation in the past four
months causes US to increase the
household allowance Of sugar from
TWO pounds per person per month,
10 three pounds per person per
month, with the same ratio to pub
lie eating places as from November

to incre2ce the household allowance

ment that our supplies would justify

holder to more freely use the apple

during the summer without sugar.

purchase his whole family allowance
