Edmund Mitchell. Food Administrator
for Delaware. today announces new sugar
regulations, made necessary ON account
of the unexpected scarcity due 10 the
demands by the war. and the inability
TO bring raw sugar To this country.
The announcement today, followed a
Telegram from the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator al Washington In his an
nouncement Mr. Mitchell saws
The United States Food Admins
tration at Washington has notified the
State Food Administrators that they
must not issue sugar certificates IN store
keepers in excess Of the total allotment
il has made TO each State, consequently
il NAV be necessary to decrease the allot-
ment TO retailers for August and sep
ternber
"In addition 10 this. retailers must
police their trade, and IN no case must
they sell large amounts for canning
and they must see that no sugar Is sold for
canning unless II Is to be used lmmedl-
ately.
In issuing canning certificates in no
case NAV retailer issue more than p
pounds TO any one customer without the
approval OF the State Food Administrator
1T Is requested that retailers keep a
record of all two and iIvc pound pur-
chases, keeping the name, date and
address of the purchasers, and mail a
copy Of tins record to the Federal Food
Administrators; and also see that an equit-
able distribution OF sugar Is made to all
Gust oIners.
Retailers should impress upon the
family Gamer to use the water pack
method without sugar, in preserving
fruits, and add the sugar st the time of
consumption when sugar will be more
plentiful This can be easily and safely
done and a great amount OF sugar will
ct this time, be saved.
