THE DISCARD DECEMBER I
Four Pounds Per Month Per Per.
SON Il Above Normal Pre- war
Consumption,

This mornings Denver Post says
relative to the sugar situation:
The consumers sugar coupon card
will go out of business Dec. 1.

pounds per person per month is
above the normal peace time con-
sumption in America, so the food
administration does not consider
it necessary to continue the card
system.
Grocers will be. held responsible
for keeping the people within the
specified limits of sugar consump.
tion after Dec. /. They will not be
allowed to sell customers more than
the allotted amount. People going
from store to store to buy more
than the allotment of sugar will be
prosecuted under the food control
act.
Manufacturers using sugar will be
allowed an additional allotment for
December, but must continue to
procure their sugar through the
card system.

MADE THIS PROYISION
Purpose Is to Make Returning Sol

Many Sacrifices Have Been and
Are Fully Appreciated.

1t has been previously announced
that the American Red Cross has
been designated by the war depart
ment as the official welcoming body
for the soldiers now being demobil-
lied at the rate of approximately
500 a day from each camp and can

Arrangements are being perfect
ed by the organizations of the
American Red Cross all over the
country to care for the wants of
these men en- route, and to welcome
them when they arrive at destina-
tiOn. The war department has
made the suggestion, which will be
acted upon, that the Red Cross,
through it's various chapters and
branches, should express che appre-
citation of the American people to
journey hOmeward. These men
eCAuROl0lAy gave up 1lO1uc, lIlClluS,
positions and everything to under
take the rigOrs and hardships of
training, preparatory to duty ov-
erseas on the battlefields, and it Is
the intention of the Red Cross,
through it's local organizations ev-
erywhere, to appoint Welcome
Home" committees, to meet trains
carrying these men to their homes
and give them such q reception as
will make them feel that the Amer.
lean people appreciate their sacri-
flee.
Local Chambers of Commerce and
other civic organizations are invit-
ed to cooperate to the utmost with
the Red Cross committees. to make
the reception accorded the boys a
real demonstration of the appreci-
alton felt by the American people.
The Canteen workers of the Red
Cross all over the country are to
be prepared to distribute refresh.
ments to the soldiers and to see
that they are provided with every
comfort.
Cards will be furnished for the
registration of these returning sol
diers, to be filled out with the
mans full name, date of discharge,
division, regiment, company, rank,
branch of service and home ad-
dress.
1t is the intention, whenever suf
ficient notice is given to arrange a
reception that will gladden. the
hearts of these returned soldiers
and make them feel to the utmost
the interest of the nation in their
welfare.

quietly told those gatherd in his
treasury office that he was retiring
from public life that he had ten
dered his resignation to the presf-

been accepted.
After an hours discussion of the
public policies, covering not only
the question of the future treasury
financing, but the future of the
railroads, plans for the readjust,
ment Of industry and reconstruc-
tion of Europe and many minor
matters, Mr.. McAdoo told of his de
cision to retire from public life. The
news took every man completely by
surprise. Not a hint of the secre-

Washington.
Secretary McAdoo will probably
retire from office about January l,
