SUGAR ALLOWANCE
RAISED A POUND
Food Administration Allows Distri-
button of Three Pounds Per
Capita Per Month.

houSeholderS Will be permitted to
purchase and use sugar on the basis
of three pounds month per memb-
er of the family while hotels, res
taurants and other public eating
houses may purchase and use sugar
on the basis of three pounds per
90 meals. This is an increase of
one pound month over the allow
aance that has been granted for
several months.
Another important announcement
to-day at the food offices was that
| general order No. 4, which limited
in hotels, ETC., the service of one
kind of meat to customer, had
been amended. One effect of this
will be a reunion of those old COM
panions, liver and bacon, which a
few days ago were separated for
what looked like the duration of
the war Club sandwiches, which
were also under the ban may now
be served without violating the
regulations, as may chicken and
Virginia ham. A variety of sand
witches containing different kinds of
meat may be sold at one time.
This modification, which restores
liver and bacon and the other men,
toned combinations to the active
list, also makes proper Thanksgiving
provision for mince pies, it being
ruled that mince pie, larded sweet
breads, larded filet of beef, trim
mings may be served without vio-
lating general order No. a. Mr..
Brooks says, at is hoped that this
will bring about happy culmina-
ton to the proceedings that temper
arily divorced the public and these
favored dishes from a mutual and
happy relationship"
1t is needless to add that Mr..
Brooks is greatly pleased to make
the sugar announcement that will
be so warmley welcomed. He
wishes to couple with it, however,
the one great outstanding fact that
America must ship lover there"
nearly 18 million tons of food COM
modities, comparent with II mil
lion tons last year, that there are
no more food stuffs on hand than
last year, land that everybody must
be extremely careful in the handl-
ing and use of food which should
be thought of in terms of life.
The reasons for this unexpected
but welcome announcement in re-
gard to the sugar allotment are
given by Mr.. Brooks as follows:
"The rapid manufacture of the
new crop of beet sugar in the
West, the new crop of Louisiana
cane sugar in the South, together
with the freer railway transporta-
ton conditions, the reductions
that we have made in the con-
sumption of sugar in the manufac-
turing trades, and the patriotic
