FOOD REGULATIONS

Under the new, food regulations in vogue in North
Dakota. and which require the use Of a card in the pur.
chase Of flour and sugar. responsibility for the carrying
out of the law rests directly on the purchaser. Each fam
lily is permitted a certain quantity of wheat flour. fAe
basis is one and one-half pounds per person per week.
When flour is purchased an entry Of the date and amount
is made on a card prepared, for thai" purpose. 1t would
be quite possible for an individual to buy flour from two
or more grocers at about the same time, and thus to, ~
cumulate an illegal quantity of flour. The dealers would
have no means Of knowing whether. or not this was being
done. They are not required to know. The purchaser
knows, and the government will find out. Every card
containing a record OF the purchase of flour or sugar is
sent in to the food administrator, and these cards are to
ue carefully checked and classified. If an individual ras
the duplication is shown in checking the cards. and when
the fact of the. commission of this crime is establishe /
criminal prosecution. will certainly follow. 81 .
Variation in regulations as between states gives rfse
to some complications in border towns. 1t is important
that both purchasers and dealers inform themselves as
to cross state lines with their trade. The general rule. 'as
between North Dakota and Minnesota, for instance, is
that the merchant in one state who sells goods in the 9TH
err must comply strictly with the regulations provided for
that other state. And the consumer who goes out of his
own state to make purchases cannot make this a means
formed that careful watch is. being kept to detect any
violations OF the regulations which interfere with their
proper effectiveness. fz

SPEEDING UP

Some indication of the manner in which Great
Britain has been speeding up in her munitions manufac-
ture may be gained from statements just made in parlia.
nent by Winston Churchill, minister of munitions. The
wastage. during the past five weeks. said Mr. Churchill.
has been very great. About a thousand guns have been
lost bysshell fire or capture. Between 1000 and 5000
machine guns have. been lost from various causes, and
an immense number of rifles and other small arms have
been captured or destroyed. Notwithstanding all this
Mr.. Churchill says that the supply Of arms and NUM-
tons is sufficient to permit the waging Of battles at max
imum intensity until winter without drawing at all on
the supplies being accumulated for 1919.
1t is to be remembered that practically alS of this
material is of domestic manufacture. Raw material is
still being shipped in large quantities from the United
States. and there are doubtless some shipments of fin
ished goods. But two causes have operated to curtail
American manufacture on foreign account. The first
is that during the war the British have boon cquipping
their factories for the production of their own goods
The second is that the entrance of the United States
into the war has taxed our own factories, so that except
for British use.
The speeding up Of British manufacture in these
lines has been truly marvellous. Less than four years
ago Great Britain had an army of about 5000 men
Her production Of war material was merely sufficient to
keep that small body of men supplied, and as there was
no wastage by war the production necessary was negligi
BILE. Today the nation has six million men under arms
and she has in France as many men as it is considered
munitions for the use of this immense force, working a
full capacity. to last all summer, willis she is at the
same time accumulatins a supply. for another year o
war on the same gigantic scale. There has never before
been n-industrial development which compares in mag
nitude with this.
