Mr.. r. E. Brumby, representing tn,
Food Administration in st. Mary, ha
issued the following rulings on suga
to be observed BY ill Ward Admins
traitors:
effective July l the following rule!
are in force, and all parties are ex
pected to observe them from now on.
II. Retailers, bakers. public eating
places, and manufacturers can buy
sugar from wholesalers only upon
sugar certificates issued by the New
Orleans Office.
| "These certificates are issued by MIR
Parker, and the parties above named
should Immediately apply to him for
the necessary blanks. fill in and OBJ
tain their certificates for July. Fail.
ure to do 80 will RI suit in being de-
prived of sugar.
Eating places will discontinue
using sugar in the open bowls. Tbs
allowance for such places is ; pounds
Of sugar for each 30 meals served
The Interpretation of this is. that a
cup of coffee is meal within the
meaning Of this rule, since it requires
the amount of sugar as regular
meal.
"Sugar will be served by the public
eating places ia the form of lump
sugar. or in q separate enve Ope or
c'.ntAiner for each person, or else The
waiter will place the sugar in the c"f-
fee or tea when served and remove the
howl; or the coff e and tea will be
sweetened in the kitchen.
IL think the latter is the most feas.
ible method for the short order eating
house and ca,ffee stands.
Tho rule should he strictly OBJ
served.
