may buy and use sugar without restric-
tions, always avoiding extravaganza
and boarding. says Frank S. Pool,

faetuEars and ice cream makers now re-

The need Of condensed milk abroad
is reported, officially, to be extremely
pressing. There is "a shortage Of feed
and fodder throughout Europe and. The
dairy products have been seriously cur
tailed. is expected that Europe win
require butter and condensed milk from
America in large quantities for some
years to come. Condensaries may now
receive their normal requirements of
sugar and new condensaries may be
opened. Farmers of the United States
are asked to prepare for furnishing the
great quantities Of milk that will be re-
quired by condensaries already in ex-
istence and those to be bsilt.
''Take down the old posters SAYS A.
D. Wilson, federal food administrator
for Minnesota. 1.-THE armistice is sign
ed and the war is over. There is
neither purpose nor good psychology in
keeping up the old signs Of war. Take
them down aid put up world relief
posters instead. The new posters may
be secured at the office of the food adj
ministration."
Because Of the tremendous shortage
IN milk throughout the Allied countries
the British ministry of food has taken
control of the wholesale milk trade in
Great Britain. This is to insure fair

food controller power to regulate, the
distribution according to- the 4 means
available III each district and the sec
| o11d enabling him to take control Of the
Epfemises Of persons engaged in the
wholesale distribution and manufacture
Of milk and milk products. A repre-
sentative committee has been appointed

! tons which may come out Of his de
cision to assume control Of the milk

The. public eating placnseno longer
need use substitutes i'm bread or other
bakery products. However, there is to
be no relaxation of the rule limiting the
amount of bread to two ounces per per
son for each meal. Nor must toas. be
used as garniture or served under
meat or served with the first course
sWe understand shippers have been
taking chances in using ordinary box
cars for the shipping Of their perishable
! goods" says J. A. Vye/executive secre.
tary for the food administration in
Minnesota, rather than waiting fol
the days upon which the regular re.
frigerator cars run. If the railroad;
supply refrigerator service there seems
no 1eason why shippers should take
such chances, particularly at a time
when every ounce of food is Of the
IvalueE it is today. Shippers should de-
liver perishables to carriers only or
scheduled refrigerator car days thai
1.-THE goods may arrive at their destina
lions in proper condition.
