Concerning this latest order Mr.. Po-
cock says: .v ss.z :5
g""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 OFT the table
and lunch counter, nor may they be
Brought to the table or lunch counter.
Officials Of the United States food adj
ministration say that Minnesota ho-
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
out 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"
Peace and the Food Problem.
The coming of peace will bring no
relaxation in the food saving campaign
for Americans. Peace viii mean added
RESPONSIBILITIES. Bear this in mind
gnstead of 120.000,000 Of the Allies
and the additional population OF our
own country to be fed, America on
that day, must send food to another
group of 1S0,O00,000 victims of Ger
man treachery-the people OF Poland,
Roumania, Serbia, Armenia. European
Russia and elsewhere. They will
come to our doors, this starving horde,
and they must not be denied Ours
will not be the role of the Good Samar-
itan. stopping by the roadside to give
#uccor to the robbed and injured--we
will be asked TO share with those who
nave fought our battles for us. The
division should be share and share
alike. @ @
No Turkey Rallies.
The federal food administration says
mo turkey raffles this year" Just
now general this one-time general
practice in Minnesota is today is not
Rnown, but two reasons enter into the
decision of the food administration to
oppose any shooting match, game OF
chance or contest Of skill that might
nut into the hands OF persons any
uuantity OF foodstuffs for which they
nave no actual need" One reason Ia
the need OF the saving Of every ounce
of food this year, and its division with
those who are hungry. and the other
IN the scarcity Of turkeys. There is
national shortage q the holiday eare
ahis year. .-.-.- n. a
