Brooks says, 1T is hoped that this
will bring about happy elimination
% the proceedings that temporarily
divorced the public and these favor
ed dishes from mutual and happy
rplationship."
The reasons for this unexpected
but welcome announcement in regard
10 the sugar allotment are given by
Mr. Brooks az follows:
THE rapid manufacture of the
new crop of beet sugar in the West,
the new crop OF Louisiana cane SUI
gar in the South, together with the
freer railway transportation condi-
tons, the reductions that we have
made in the consumption Of sugar
in the manufacturing trades, and the
patriotic conservation in the past
four months, permits an increase in
the household allowance of sugar
from two pounds per-person per
month 10 three pounds per-person-
per-month, with the same ratio to
public eating places. This makes
good on the promise to increase the
household allowance OF sugar at the
earliest possible moment that sup
plies would justify. Ii makes 1t pos
sible for the householder TO more
freely use the apple, cranberry and
grapefruit products and to use the
fruits canned during the summer
without sugar.
The regulations are also revised
70 the extent that any person may
purchase his whole family monthly
allowance at one time il he so de-
half months supply for the entire
family in one purchase. This, there
fore, permits a choice between the
two permissible purchases. the haff
months supply, or the supply for the
entire month
IT is provided that in no case
shall there be served to any one per-
son at any one meal sugar to exceed
one half ounce service OF one tea
spoonful or its equivalent for tea or.
coffee and one teaspoonful for fruit
or cereal but not a teaspoonful for
both fruit and ceresl and one small
lump for demitasse may be served.
