U. $. FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Reports that the Canadian govern
ment is placing no restrictions on the
use OF sugar and that citizens of this
country, merely by dressing the bor-
der, may purchase in large amounts
] are emphatically denied by the Unit
ed States food administration.
The Canada food board recently
issued statement ealing for re-
duction of Canadian sugar consump-
ton to one and oneJhalf pounds per
person per month, haf pound below
the honor ration, requested in this
country by the United States food ad
ministration. All regulations govern
ing the use of holding OF sugar will be
rigidly enforced. thef Canada food
board has declared. Il is taking strict
measures to prevent boarding in most
cases imposing jail sentence as we'll
as a heavy fine, Manufacturers are
strictly curtailed in their use of sugar
and householders are prohibited from
purchasing quantities. which would
warrant consumption of more than
the requested allowance.
Citizens of this country would be
running serious risk If they attempt
ed to purchase sugar in Canada. Al
though restrictions there are placed
upon the purchaser rather than upon
the retail dealer, severe penalties are
provided for attempted expectation to
the United States without an individu-
al export license from the Canadian
war trade board, which would grant
export license only lin cases which
meet with the approval of this govern
ment, Supplementary action along
this line has been taken by the United
states war trade board which has
prohibited importation without an in
dividual import license
Persons attempting ito bpins sugar
IRON Canada to this country would
be faced with the possibility of heavy
fines and Jail sentences should they
be apprehended by the customs au-
thorities of either cas,ntry,
IN addition TO restrictions upon the
manufacturers and limitations upon
household use, the Canadian food au-
thorities have ruled that no person
shall use more than 25.pounds of sug-
ID to 100 pounds of prepared fruit
in the manufacture OF canned fruits
for sale. This, OF course, does not
apply to Jams, jellies or marmalade.
That there has been considerable
regulation in Canada on bread and
flour is shown by the rules which have
just reached the food administration
office, One order OF the, date of July
"a, In force ia Brit~s ColuHsbia,
reads.
NO bread which has not been made
at least IL hours shall be sold or
offered or exposed for sale in the
province Of British Columbia"
On August the Canada food board
sent out notice as follows:
Bakers are urged to prepare for
the use of 20 per cent of substitutes,
as the use of same will be made COM
pulsory at the earliest possible date"
AS to the quantity of flour one may
have. an order of date of April 80
says:
mo person shall hold or have in his
possession or under his control at any
one time flour made wholly or in part
from wheat more than is sufficient for
his ordinary requirements for
period not exceeding Is days"
The rule provides, further, that
persons living at distances from two
to 10 miles or more may have small
additional amounts of flour, depend
ing on such distances from his near
est dealer. as will make it convenient
for him to secure a supply.
