Lifting Of Restrictions Docs Not Mean
Return to Unlimited Consumption.


Return to Unlimited Consumption.
The lifting Of the restrictions on the
consumption Of beef does not mean
that It's use should be Increased to a
great extent or that we should return
to our pre.war habits OF meat.eating,
according to r. b. Mumford. Federal
Food Administrator for Missouri.
As the extreme drouth in the South.
west and other parts Of the cour'ry
endangered the meat herds. producers
rushed lightweight beef TO the markn,
thus creating an unexpected surplus In
light cuts. For this reason the Food
Administration announced the presen,
program Of serving beef at only one
Eeal In hotels and restaurants should
be discontinued for the present and
that bouseholders no longer be re-.
quested to limit their purchases to one
and one.lalf pounds Of beef and bone
or one and one quarter pounds Of clear
beef weekly for each member Of the
family.
ut is highly desirable that the Amer.
ican people consume medium and
lighter gr.des OF cattle. conserving the
heavier animals for our own armed
force and those OF the Allies" said Mir
Mumfofd. As all heavy beef is for
the present needed for war export. re.
TALL markets ere requested 10 handle
cattle which dress not over $75 pounds
and public eating places and the public
in general are urged 10 create a de.
n,and for llght cuts.
