WHEAT RESTRICTIONS OFF;
SUGAR RATlONS INCREASED
Monthly Sugar Ration Again In
creased-FOur Pounds Is the
New Allotment.

Washington, November ID The
Food Administration announced last
night that the war restrictions on
wheat and tin had been entirely re-
moved, and that the sugar ration had
been increased from three to four
pounds a person a month in the beet
sugar producing states and in the cane
sugar producing territory of Louis
lana, effective December l.
This action was taken because of
the availability of sufficient sugar in
that territory, and because the lack of
cargo space for overseas shipment, to-
gether with the insufficient storage ia
oilities in this country.
This ruling means that the Ameri-
can housewife need no longer bother
about buying substitutes for wheat
flour, and the corner grocer may sell
wheat flour without requiring the
housewife to buy cornmeal or rye or
anything else if she does not want to-
Great relief also will be experienced
by the ruling on tin. The long list of
rulings specifying that food contain
ers shall not be made of tin in part or
whole is nullified by the administra-
| tons action today.

In the absence of Mayor Thomas M.
Russell, the chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, Member Allen Dod-
son, presided.
The regular business of Council was
taken up first, this being an adjourned
meeting for the purpose of taking up
and destroying bonds and interest
cohpons. Emergency bonds to the
amount Of $16.5OO, school bonds to the
amount of $4,000 and $4,000 in inter-
est coupons, having been taken up by
the Ways and Means Committee, were
gone over carefully, referred to a spe~
cial committee, composed of members

Drs. Smoot, Taulbee, Taylor. Hutch
ms, Quigley, Samuel, Mcclure, Pat
ton and Yazell, all agreeing that the
influenza conditions were better, but
several did not think it wise to lift
the ban, while others thought it
should be modified to some extent.
the joint session adjourned with the
ban still ban, with no trimmings of
any kind. As the City Board of Health
is acting under instructions from the
State Board, ii seems to be an assured
fact that there will be nothing done
toward lifting or even modifying the
ban this week.

business, among it being the allow
ance of an ovredraft at the State Ma
tional Bank created last August by

lieving her husband was going to
leave her with her four children to
support, late yesterday bound the
hands and feet of the four chill
dren, Leo, 3; Anna May, 2; Mary
Rose, 3, and Dora, 8 months, and
stuffed cotton in their mouths. She
then took a hand ak and beat three
of them to death and seriously
wounded the other. Anna May and
Leo were dead when the crime was
discovered and Mary Rose died
later at a hospital. Dora is expect
ed to die.
When her husband, Perry Skaggs,
reached home his wife told him she
had killed his babies" That she
intended to kill herself is evidenced
by a note she left blaming her
husband for it all. the police say.
Mrs. Skaggs, who showed no emo
ton after the crime, was taken to
the observation ward of the city
hospital. She accused her husband
of failing to support his family and
also said he beat her. Physicians
at the hospital say her mind is af-
fected.
