TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 7:-Dav1d
Thompson, a private of Company u,

mond, has been h~onorably discharged
from service. He was gassed and
wounded in France.
Thompson, who LIS a cousin of Mrs.
Mathes Matheson. of Tottenville, Is
twenty years Did. He was graduated
from the Port Richmond high school
In 1918. He enlisted at Belfast. Ire

weeks later he was a OF
Company B of the Royal Irish Rifles
and on the way to the trenches.
Travelling In cattle cars the rifles
ran into frightfully cold weather ana
were forced to tear off the sides OF
the cars and make fires to keep from
freezing. Many were so badly FROST
bitten they never recovered from II
Thompson says he got seven Ger
mans. four Of them In battle. Three

he came upon them in a she'll hole,
but Thompson's grenade got there

FOOD RATION|NG
PROTECTS POOR
System Now in Vogue Assures
Everyone His Supply Use
of Food Cards.

LONDON, Aug. 7:-America need
have no fear of the ration card DOGGY.
Great Britain this year instituted
the rationing system-flrst food
cards, then ration coupons-and 1t Is
conceded on every side h a the food
situation from the consumers stand
point is better now than 1t has been
at any time since the early days Of
the war.
As it is explained by the Ministry
of Food, and as the results have
proved, the primary purpose of the
|~rationing system Is to protect the
consumer of small or moderate
means.
The system protects the workers.
Britain's experience has already DEM
onstrated to everyone, by compelling
fair distribution.
It guarantees equitable division of
the available food supply so that
great stores of food cannot be bought
up by those who car afford to pay
highest prices.
In short, 1T PREVENTS WEALTH
IRON SQUEEZING MR.. AVERAGE
CONSUMER OUT OF THE FOOD
STORES.
Here are the per person allowances
of the four principal foods, per week:
Meat, 90 unc
Sugar, n pound.
Butter, 5 ounce
Flour, not rationed dread rations
apply in restaurants only.
Additional supplementary allow
ances" are issued for lei engaged IN
heavy work, and there are special
rules covering the need of invalids,
~expectant mothers. sick persons. etc.
These details, are handled by Local
Food Boards which are constantly in
session in every district-somewhat
on the order of the Selective Service
Local Board system in America.
And food cards or coupon books
aren't half the trouble 1t had been
expected in Britain they would be. or
that Americans probably think they
are.
You go to the Local Board and I'LL
out an application form. The board
mails you a coupon book. You take
the book to your dealer Cor dealers II
you buy at separate ~stores) and each
dealer detaches a leaf of coupons for
the article you intend to buy at his
store.
That roughly. is all there is to II
for the ordinary -consumer-the APP
~plication blank states the number of
persons eating at your home n the
book mailed you covers food allow
ances for all.
Then as you order, the dealer de-
taches from the leaf the coupons cor
responding with the amounts bought.
He can sell you in any n week only
the amount called for by your coupon
book.
Rationing, of itself, does not con-
troll prices, although OF course ration
ing and government price control go
hand in hand.
