Surplus of Stock on Hand Gives Every
Person One Pound Extra-FlOur
Rules are Now More Strict.
Because of a surplus on hand, the
monthly allotment of sugar has been
increased to three pounds per person,
it was announced Thursday by Fed
eral Food Administrator Edmund
Mitchell. Extra supplies of sugar
for canning purposes will have to re-
ceive the sanction of the administra-
ton office. Sugar certificates for
November are based on the allotment
of three pounds per month, Mr..
Mitchell said. This includes the use
of both cooking and table purposes.
Storekeepers, in the future, will be
permitted to sell the consumer enough
sugar to meet his requirements for
one month, providing it does not ex-
ceed three pounds per person. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Mitchell to fur
nish sufficient sugar to every dealer

customer has substitutes he must sus-
pend the sale of flour until they are
secured. Warning is given that any
merchant violating the rules govern
ing the sale of sugar and wheat flour
will be penalized. The Food Admin
istrator says it is not the intention of
the Administration to prevent home
canning, but the sugar for that pur-
pose can now be secured only upon
certificates approved by the Food Ad-
ministrator. Persons desiring these
certificates must have the fruit OF
vegetables at hand when the appli-
cation is made.

Among the Brooklyn victims, of in
fuenza epidemic, was Fletcher Ellis
worth Cooper, Jr., who died Thursday,
October 29th, from pneumonia, at his
home, 637 Eleventh street, in his 28th,,
year. He was son of F. E. Cooper,
formerly of Smyrna, who has been
connected, editorially, with the New
York world for many years. The
young man was ready to save his
country in France, but was but in a
a deferred class, in 1917, because of
his health. He had travelled in
Europe, Central America and the
West Indies, living in summer at his
fathers place on the Kent Mountain
Litchfeld County, Conn. The burial
was in the cemetery of the Holy
Cross, Flatbush. The young man had
correspOnded much with newspapers
and wrote poems and short stories
under different pen names.

Mrs. Fred T. Sutton and son, James,
of St. Georges, have returned from
their western trip, having spent a
month with her brother in Roundup,
Montana. The epidemic of Spanish
influenza throughout the west caused
their return sooner than was expected,
as she was afraid to risk a visit to
Dubuque, Iowa, and hurriedly left
Roundup at the first talk of quaran-
tine.

TRIANGLE FEATURE
 SUNDAY AT COLISEUM

Sunday evenings attraction at the Coliseum will include a Paramount Photograph, which deals with pre- paredness and several other inter- esting subjects, and the main fea- ture, which will be a five-reel Fri angle production, The Flying Tor pedo." John Emerson and Bessie Love are the stars in this play, SUD- ported by a strong Triangle cast. The picture deals with a torpedo invented by an old scientist who has retired from the army. The inven- tion of this boat, which has the power to fly, causes several attempts on the part of foreign officers to obtain possession of the inventors plans. The girl in the case, Bessie Love, is the heroine of several dra- matic and humorous escapades. The drama and humor of these five reels combine to make a very interesting evening.
