AUGUST
SUGAR IS
CURTAIL.ED
- ia .. sa -

For the month Of August Indiana al
lotment 81 sugar totals 8.SS3.0o0 pounds.
This IS reduction Of practically one
third over the allotment for July. when
certificates issued BY the federal food
administration covered a total Of 14.821-
s55 pounds, uron which the distribu-
tion totaled 13,o12.750 pounds
In reference to the reduction. Or
Harry = Barnard. federal food admins
traitor for Indiana today issued notice
to county food administrators ana oth-
srs interested. that certificates Is re
tailers for the month Of August should
be based on pounds per capita per
month. and that hotels. restaurants and
public eating houses shall make similar
retrenchment by making pounds Of
sugar sufficient for 90 meals Hereto
fore. the per capita allowance has been
8 pounds per month. and the same qua4-
uty has been permitted for each 30
meals served in public eating houses
Certificates for canning purposes will
be issued subject to the same restric-
ton that has obtained heretofore-that
each purchaser be required to present
a certificate upon which appears the o.
K OF the local food administrator or his
authorized deputy.
After this concession has been made
effective. the balance remaining viii be
distributed among other sugar consum-
ers. but. on account of the seriousness
of the situation now obtaining. Dr.
Barnard has announced that for the
present" the issuing Of certificates TO
manufacturers in class "A. which in
cludes soda fountains. soft drink manu-
faeturcrs. candy manufacturers bot
tiers. and various Other less essentials.
VIII be eliminated entirely
The federal food administration i'm
dorsed. BY making it general order.
the plan already IN vogue in Indiana. Of
removing from the restaurant and pub
lie eating house the common sugar bowl.
Hotels and dining cars are subject to
limitation ~ two Jumps. or one teal
spoon Of graduated sugar to each pa
tron. giving a choice of either but not
both"
The increasing difficulties Of secur-
ing sugar are said to have impelled
many manufacturers. bottlers. soda
fountain operators and others normal
~ using sugar. to resort to the use Of
saccharin. Or. Barnard has issued to
health officers and food inspectors. IN
addition TO the county food admiuistra-
tors and their deputies, & special bulle-
tin quoting the bureau OF chemistry Of
the L. $ department Of agriculture. in
reference to the use Of saecharin. that
it is deleterious TO health. and its use Is
in violation of the laws Of II states, in
GLIDING Indiana. Dr. Barnard SAYS.
there must be no weakening Of our eN-
cellent food laws during the war" He
says Furthermore. that there will be
vigorous prosecutions in any cases
wherein it is found sacharin has been
used I'm an article intended as food for
human consumption.
