g., supor famine that the food admin
is,ratiun has cut down the allotment
which is now three pounds per person
prr month, to two pounds per person
p.r month. This allotment applics
,r,,ticularly to the month of August.
In public eating places, restaurants
hotels, boarding houses and dining
cars the new allotment will be TWO
mounds for each 90 meals served.
Manufacturers Of soft drinks and can
DIV are now receiving only 30 per cent
of their normal supply, or oil thcir
last wears consumption of sugar. The
priv;Itc homes have not been asked by
the food administration to make so
deep n cut as that. Sugar bowls have
disappeared from the tables OF many
of the hotels, restaurants and cafes,
and sugar is carefully measured out
TO guests and customers. Under these
existing conditions. there can be no
unlimited use OF sugar, even for por-
ton OF Il month, in the homes OF those
who are cndcavoring to conscientious

administration rules and regulations.

cover all needs. The food admins
tiation has carefully figured that it
cannot be stretched to cover the needs
of the state unless the individual con-
sumption is cut down to two pounds
per person per month. In naming that
amount rs the ration, therefore, the
food administration states clearly what
is the patriotic duty OF every person
in South Carolina for the month OF
.tugust-to live within the limit, and
to cut that down If possible. 1t Is al
so urged that in canning. fruits be
canned without sugar this summer.
The fruit will keep just as well. 1t

that the sugar situation will have
been relieved and that there will be
