crease. With the advent of November
came an order from Herbert Hoover
authortzing the increasing Of the.
monthly per capita allowance from
two to three pounds. At the same
time the hotels, clubs, restaurants and
other public eating places have had
their supply increased from two to
three pounds per every ninety meals,
giving this class Of consumers the
relative increase accorded the house
holder.
The new regulation means the
changing Of the hotel rules concern
ing the serving of sugar. A. D. VIII

Concerning this latest order Mr.. Po-
cock says:
''The new regulations are made up
Of the better parts of two previous
bulletins issued here, including the
new regulations. The order Is still in
effect that the sugar bowls and large
containers must be kept of the table
and lunch counter, nor may they be
brought to the table or lunch counter
Officials of the United States food ad-
ministration say that Minnesota no.
tells, restaurants and clubs have made
the best record in the country: on han
ding the sugar bowl proposition. This
reputation we must maintain The
food administration has allowed the
public eating places a ration OF three
pounds Of sugar per every ninety
meals-this allowance, which Is ef-
fective at once, to cover sugar used
In cooking and otherwise. The above
rules, which are being Issued through

clubs and boarding houses, may seem
In kindergarten form, but experience
has taught us that we cannot be too
explicit in the explanations of and sug.
gestions for the carrying out Of these
o4ders.''
