Sugar Sales Further Restricted.
Washington State Items.

ADMINISTRATOR HeDDerd announced
further sugar restrictions this week
as follows.
To all retailers: Beginning July
10th, you will be expected to keep
daily record of all sugar sold lex
cept for canning which is covered by
your card record.
Said record is to have the date
and amount of sale, name and ad-
dress of purchaser and the number
of people in household.
On Monday of each week this
record must be mailed to the deputy
County Food Administrator for your
town or district. If you have no
deputy mail the report to the County
Food Administrator. The sugar sit
uation is so acute that it will be
very necessary that all your custo-
mers fully realize that they must
hold their domestic consumption of
sugar down to as much less than
three pounds per person per month
as possible, and we count on your
valuable assistance in getting this
information distributed. We realize
the sugar question is causing you
much inconvenience and work, but
the war is the reason, and by the
combined assistance of the public
and the dealers, the food admins
tration hopes to avoid rationing the
American people.
If your statement has been mailed,
certificates will be sent you as soon
as the clerical details can be finished.
In the meantime your usual source of
supply will furnish you sugar.
Later circulars to the general pub
lie contain additional information and
explanations as follows:
No purchaser is permitted to buy
more than two pounds of sugar at a
time. By checking reports from re
tailers, county food administrators
will know what purchasers are ex
ceeding their allotment, and these
will be dealt with by the enforce
ment division of the food administra
ton.
After further limiting the supply
of sugar to ice cream dealers the
food administration announced tha
it will strictly enforce the rule
against the manufacture and use o.
water ices and sherbets in which
sugar or syrups are used as ingred
lCnlo. n0 ulibS VI lbC lhAAiliiiob u q
tiop reads
THE manufacture of water ice:
and sherberts is prohibited, even i
manufactured with syrup instead o
sugar This applies to soda waite
fountains as well as ice cream man
ufacturers."
Maximum canning with a minimum
use of sugar is advised by the fooC
administration because of existing
limitations in the sugar supply. While
urging housewives to can a maxi
mum of fruit with a minimum o
sugar the food administration at thu
same time is discouraging the max
ing of jellies, preserves, conserve
and jams for the reason that the.
! require a great deal more sugar thai
is used in ordinary canning opera
tions.
"One-third of a cup of sugar to tn
quart is sufficient to develop tn
flavor of any fruit" says Mrs. Han
riette Lycette, home demonstrated
agent for the food administration
twenty-five pounds of sugar /
thus sufficient to conser--e $50 quart
of fruit, a supply sufficient for tn
average family. We must have fruit
in this form to avoid nutritional dis
eases. Canned vegetables should il
part take the place of fruit in h
diet.
Home Gamers are limited by tn
administration to 25 pounds of sugar
and this amount can be purchase
only after signing a certificate tina
the sugar will be used for canning o
preserving purposes only. A permi
for a second allotment of 25 pound
of sugar for canning purposes ma
be obtained through county food az
ministrators or their representative
on a showing by the consumer tina
such a supply is necessary and wi
prevent waste of fruit. 1t will b
within the discretion of the count
food administrator to refuse suga
purchasing permits to those who hav
, been spendthrift in the use of the
, supply. The permit to purchase
second allotment of sugar is Obtain
able from the county food administri
tors or their representatives onl.
, and not from the office of the FEEDER;
food administrator for Washington.
