THE WEEKS FOOD FACTS.

THE WEEKS FOOD FACTS. II
Saventy-hve percent Of the sugar I
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. Il
You drink ships every time you use
sugar unnecessarily In q beverage.
You eat ships every time you eat
candy, purely luxury.
Candy Manufacturers have been linn.
tied 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.
The sugar is needed for canning,
the ships are needed for soldiers and |
supplies for them; the labor used In
candy manufacture could be diverted
to a more useful purpose.
Why not say good bye to the Jolly
pop, the creams and sea loans until
after the war?
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 an.
nouncement is made by the state food
administration in answer to many In.
quiries 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 nor.
NAL times.
Under regulations announced this
! week county and local food admins
traitors 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 beer,
which permitted the serving of beef
but once each day in public eating
places and purchase of not more than
/ IA pounds of clear beer 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 a large quantity of light
weight beef creating an unexpected
surplus which permits the removal
of consumption restrictions. Heavy
beef animals are still particularly de.
sired for use in furnishing meat to
the army abroad and home people
are urged in the consumption of beef
| at this time to favor the light weight
| animals.
The general policy of conservative
| {o or
the food administration.
August sugar-for-canning regula-
tions provide up to 10 pounds for
every member of the household less
previously obtained this season for
canning purposes.
In a household, hotel, or any other
sufficient to justify the purchase of
canning, the 0. K. of the county food
administrator must be obtained be-
fore 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 admins
| traitor must approve inc Sale. HTSL dS-
surfing himself that 1t will be used for
canning and for no other purpose and
that it will be used in August or prac-
tically 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
interfere in any way with the custom
that has existed for years, among
farmers particularly, of killing some
of their home grown animals and cur
ing the meat for their own use during
the winter, and any individuals kill
ing and curing a supply to meet the
needs of the family for the winter
need have no fear that the supply will
be confiscated.
