(From Saturdays Daiiy)
 A special watning has been receiv- cd by the county food administrator, from the staie federal food adminis- trator, Timothy A. Riordan, to all hotels, restaurants, public eating places, all ice cream and soft drink manufacturers and to bakers and all users of sugar except household con sumers, that they will be required to file before July Is, statements show ing their requirements of sugar for July, August and September.
 These statements must be filed with the county food administrator and failure to do so will automatl- cally cut off the user from further supplies of sugar. Those manufac- turers who failed to file statements before June 10, have been cut off and can obtain no more sugar for the period of the war.
 Restrictions on the use of sugar are drawn tighter than ever by the new sugar regulations. The certiti- cate plan will be used throughout. For an eating place or baker to ob- tain sugar from his dealer, it will be necessary for the management to present a statement to the county food administrator showing his needs based on the ration of three pounds of sugar for every 90 meals served. In the same manner, soda water dis pensers, ice cream makers and all other manufacturing concerns must present statements. Certificates are then issued by the county food ad- ministrator based on the statements. These statements are then presented to the dealer and sugar purchased not to exceed the amounts named on the certificates.
 Retailer Presents Certificates.
 The retailer then presents these certificates to the wholesaler in or dcring further supplies. The whole salcr obtains sugar from the Jobber in the same way and the jobbcr from the refincr. The certificates are then. audited by special examiners of the food administration. Any discrepancy will be followed by a thorough 1n- vcstigation and penalties will be in- flicted in cases justifying such ac- ton.
 The new sugar regulations do not change the amount which may be purchased by the consumer. Inc dealer is permitted to sell household CTS not to exceed three pounds per person per month. but in so doing he cannot sell 10 city or town GUS toner more than two pounds at q time. nor to a rural consumer more than five pounds at time.
 25 Pounds Limit For Canning.
 The limit which can be sold for home canning purposes is 25 pounds. If more than this amount is requir- cd a special permit must be obtain cd from the county food admlnistra- tor No sugar for home canning purposes will be sold except on the filing of the proper signed state ment. showing that the sugar IS to. be used for that purpose and that any surplus will be returned. These statements are sent to the food ad- ministrator weekly for the purpose of checking up the canned fruit sit nation.
 The food administrator has rcceiv- cd a letter from Washington stating that fraud has been practiscd toI some extent in this state and as re- suit an investigation has been start cd. In this connection. dealers are warned that to issue sugar for can ming without household statements or to fail to return such statements to the federal food administrator for Arizona. address Flagstaff. IS viola ton of the regulations and makes the dealer liable to the penalties ot the food control act.
