The present per capita COT sumption of our Allies is 12 to I.pounds. The Food administration fully determined that 60 pounds sha be the maximum. consumption pC capita in the United States. In 0rd' to accomplish thisSit ia just au neoe sary for our popplation to be as patr otiC to the Food didinfatfaSi0tS they are to our flag. It Is unpatriot not to comply with these rulings au 1t makes 'soayeugsft'' of the peop who consume more than their shar These rules and requests apply
 everybody excepting possibly sis people. old people and growing chi dren. It is requested that people VI sell sugar shall try to educate the pu lio to know what is wanted. It
 our saored duty to do this. It Is al the retail grocers' sacred duty to |, this. This ia no time for the retail or the wholesaler to try to gain sra by being able to. give little mo sugar or any other article of food tn
 his neighbor Is able to give. The ts of citizenship and patriotism is.rath that the man who is strong en0ul ; to educate his trade to what is axpel
