SUGAR RATION
is INCREASED
The Food Administration Adds
Another Pound to Monthly
Supply Per Capita.
| NEW HOTEL REGULATIONS
Owners and Patrons Of Public Eating
Places Are Given New Rules
for Sugar Service.

The food administration has made
good on its promise to add to the
sugar allowance for home cor sumption
| as soon as supplies warranted an in
| crease. With the advent of November
| came an order from Herbert Hoover
| authorizing the increasing of the
monthly per capita allowance from
| two to three pounds. Mt 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. Will
son, federal food administrator for
Minnesota, and Walter A. Pocock,
| chairman of hotels and restaurants for
| the food administration in Minnesota,
have issued the following rules:
Sugar will not be served unless pa
| tron requests. it.
To aid in interpreting teaspoon
of sugar, according to the three pound
ration, we suggest that 60 teaspoons
to the pound will be considered rea-
sonable amount.
Sixty teaspoons to one pound-three
pounds per every ninety meals-equals
one hundred eighty teaspoons per
ninety meals or six teaspoons Of SUI
gar per day per person.
Six level t aspoons for three meals
| equals one and one-half ounces.
Two teaspoons per meal equals one
half ounce, the allowance.
One teaspoon of sugar for cup of
! tea or coffee.
| One teaspoon of sugar for cereals.
One teaspoon of sugar for grape
fruit
Discourage the use of sugar on
sweet fruits.
Do not serve sugar with sliced ba.
nanas or oranges. Most places dis.
continuing the service of these fruits
sliced.)
Cut down sugar in pies, pastries,
buildings, etc., to one-half the amount
usually used, or less
Do not serve sugar with cocoa or
chocolate. Er
Do not serve sugar for sliced to-
matoes or for baked apples, pies, pas
tries, buildings and other prepared
sweet dishes, that already have had
sugar added to them in their prepare
ton.
Concerning this latest order Mr.. Po-
cock says:
1.-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 off 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 eff
fective at once, to cover sugar used
in cooking and otherwise. The above
rules, which are being issued through
opt the state to hotels, restaurants,
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
orders"
