SUGAR ALLOWANCE ID RESTAURANTS
 AGAIN REDUCED
One Teaspoonful Only Is AL lowed for Each Meal,
 Says New Order.

w. N. Trulock, head of the hotel and restaurant mems department of the local federal good administration, yesterday notified hotels and cafes that the sugar allowance has been re- duced to two pounds to each 90 meals served, which gives one teaspoonful of sugar to each meal. The former rule was two teaspoonfuls to meal. Mir. Trulock's instructions follow:
 "I am in receipt of instructions from E. R. Wiles, stating that from now on all public eating places are permitted to serve as much as four slices of Victory bread to one guest at one time or a similar amount of bread made from wheat flour. The sale or serving of two Victory bread sandwiches to one person at one time will be permitted. Wheat flour must be bought in reasonable quantities and on the 50-50 plan. CoE1 bread should still be served almost exclu- sively at the noon day meal.
 "The administration desires you to know as the rules are being relaxed some you should use strict economy, especially wheat in order that re- serve supply may be secured against future crop failures.
 "I am further advised that sugar allowance is reduced to two pounds per person per month or two pounds for each ninety meals served. The sug- gestion that two half loaves or one teaspoonful of granulated sugar be allowed. Of course you must keep your sugar bowls from the table. The administration urges the saving of the fruit crop by preserving now and adding sugar later when the supply is more plentiful"
