10 put into effect new restrictions on
the consumption OF this commodity.
State Food Administrators Brooks said
today that il was with keen regret
that the new regulations had been is
sued, but iu6smuch AS they arise dr.
rectly from war conditions and are
absolutely necessary as military
safeguard TO the armies in he held
and thv civilian populations support
ing the armies, he felt confident that
the people OF the state would accept
them periodically and observe them
as being one of their personal contri-
buttons TO victory
Most important among the new
regulations are, no further special
sales OF sugar for canning purposes
are permitted; dealers must limit
sales so that not Lore than two
pounds month per individual will be
purchased: public eating houses must
not consume more than two pounds
for each 90 meals served; there
must be no unrationed service of SUI
gar in public eating houses and the
ban against the sugar bowl on the
table is pronounced. Mr.. Brooks has
promulgated the following order
regulating and restricting the distri-
button OF sugar;
WHEREAS II is the first duty OF
a belligerent nation TO provide It's ar
mics and navies with an abundance
OF good and nourishing food. and,
WHEREAS. II has been declared
necessary by the United States Food
Administration at Washington In or
der to supply the armies and navies
now fighting against German despot-
ism such good and nourishing food,
that the consumption OF sugar In
America be limited, for the time be-
ing, TO two ounds per person, per
month, and,
WHEREAS this food so needed by
our brave fighting men may be sup
piled In abundance by little sscrl-
Ace on the part Of the people at homo
and,
WHEREAS all patriotic Vernon
tiers grasp an opportunity for service
In this great war as privilege and
not as burden and II is only the
slac,.er and unpatriotic person who
must be goaded into the performance
OF high duty, and to the end that
Vermont may be In harmony with all
regulations and suggestions Of the
