Seventy five per cent Of the sugar
used in this country has to be brought
here in ships. Every possible ship is
needed for the transportation of troops
and. supplies to the other side.
You drink ships every time you use
sugar unnecessarily in beverage.
3ss3 You eat ships every time you eat
candy, purely a luxury. @l.&...
Candy manufacturers have been
limited to so per cent Of their normal
supply of sugar-yet figures show the
receipts for candy to be larger than
normal and constantly on the increase. !.
Eating candy now is not playing the
game. ~. e' s,.a
The sugar is needed for canning, the
ships are needed for soldiers and sup
plies for them; the labor used in candy
manufacture could be diverted to a
more useful purpose. " %-"=

No rules have been issued by the food
administration on the marketing of the
1913 wheat crop and the owner of
wheat raised this year may hold or
sell just as he desires. The announce
ment is made by the state food admin
istration in answer to many inquiries
on the subject from throughout the
state. For the present at least the
farmer will enjoy the same choice as
to marketing his wheat and all of his
cereal crops, that he does in normal
times
Under regulations announced this
week county and local food administra-
tors may permit grocers to sell extra
sugar to farmers where they have extra
crews for harvesting and threshing on
the basis in August of 2 lbs for every
ninety meals served
Restrictions on the use Of beef, which
permitted the serving of beef but once
each day in public eating places and
purchase of not more than III pounds
of clear beef per person per week in
the household have been removed upon
order from Washington
'Drouth in the southwest has made it
necessary for cattle raisers to rush to
market large quantity of light weight
beef creating an unexpected surplus
which permits the removal of consump-
ton restrictions. Heavy beef animals
are still particularly desired for use in
furnishing meat to the army abroad
and home people are urged in the con-
sumption of beef at this time to favor
the light weight animals.
The general policy Of conservative
meat consumption is still advised by
the food administration.
August sugar-for-canning regulations
provide up to 10 pounds for every mem
Der of the household, less whatever
amount of sugar has been previously
obtained this season for canning pur-
poses. Z
In household, hotel, or any other
institution where there is per capita
sufficient to justify the purchase of
more than 100 pounds Of sugar for
canning, the 0. K. of the county food
administrator must be obtained before
such sugar can be sold.
One hundred pounds or less may be
bought upon signing certificates with
the retailer, but where more than 100
pounds is required. the county admin
istrator must approve the sale, first
assuring himself that it will be used
for canning and for no other purpose
and that 1t will be used in August or
practically so.
The home curing Of meats sufficient
to supply all reasonable needs Of a
family is an act of thrift and one to be
commended is the statement of the
federal food administration for Mime.
sofa. -:
The food administration will not in
terfere in any way with the custom
that has existed for years, among farm
ers particularly, Of killing some of their
home grown animals and curing the
meat for their own use during the win
ter, and any individuals killing and
curing a supply to meet the needs OF
the family for the winter need have no
fear that the supply will be c0nfscated.
