ION and after June 18th, the use of
sugar bowls or other containers of su-
gar en- the tables of hotels, restau-
rants or other public eating places in

This order is made necessary be-
cause of the serious shortage of sugar
and the alarming situation arising
from the shortage Orders similar to
the above have been in effect in near
~ all of the States for some time.
To Merchants and Others Handling
Whole Wheat and Graham Flour.
1t must be remembered by all par
ties who are dealing in food stuffs
that each and every person is allotted
6 lbs, of flour per person per month,
and by the word wheat flour is meant
Victory flour, graham flour or whole
wheat flour The Victory flour is to
be sold $3.50, lie 6 lbs of substitute
with every six pounds of flour But
N selling graham or whole wheat
flour the dealer is to sell 6 lbs. per
person per month but in the ratio Of
10 lbs. Of Graham flour to 6 lbs. of
substitutes. The dispenser of flour
Will be held accountable for proper
recognition of this regulation.
The Use of Sugar for Canning Pur-
Our County Food Administrator,
Lape Nettleship, wishes to call the
attention Of all parties who buy su-
gar for canning purposes that this
sugar must not be used for other than
canning. The buyer sfers a pledge
that he or she will return any and all
sugar that is not used for canning and
this pledge must be fulfilled in every
sense of the word The Food Admin
istration urges the use of sugar fer
canning purposes in every home in
our land 1t has been made possible
for every one to buy as much sugar
as they need for this purpose but
because of the very serious shortage
of sugar in the world we must con-
serve, we must save and we must get
along with the Id. per month allots
ment.
The grocer who takes the receipts
for sugar that is sold for canning pur-
poses is to mail them to the County
Food Administrator at the end of each
week.
The Food Administration has made
an allotment of 5 lbs of sugar per
person per month and 6 lbs of flour
per person per month. This allot-
ment is made conditioned however
that the merchant takes receipt
from the buyer on an official receipt
blank which is furnished by all deal
errs in these commodities.
II must be remembered, however,
by the consumer that he or she is to
fill out this official receipt setting
forth the number in the family, and
the name of the grocer from whom
the last purchase was made and
WHEN it was made.
The grocer is not authorized to sell
flour or sugar unless the customer
can give the date Of LAST PUR-
CHASE.
urge that every house wife in
Washington County keep a record of
the time they made their last pur-
chase of flour and sugar. 1t is not
right fer you to ask your grocer to
keep these records. The Food Adj
ministrator does not require him to
keep these records for you. II you
are not interested sufficiently to keep
a record of your purchases you will
not Re allowed 20 purchase either flou-
CT sugar.
