FINAL WARMING

In the latter part of 1917 an order
was given out by the Food Administra-
ton forbidding the boarding of necess-
ary food products. This order defined
boarding and directed the people what
to do. More than thirty days supply
is considered boarding. This applies,
more particularly to flour and sugar.
The penalty for boarding is $4,000 fine
or two years Imprisonment or both.
This is under Federal Courts.
Effective after the first of April 80
days supply of wheat flour is not more
than 6 pounds per person. Thirty days
supply of sugar is pounds per person.
Any family or boarding house, camp,
etc., having on hand more than six
pounds of wheat flour or three pounds
of sugar per person is boarding within
the meaning of the order. Such per-
sons are hereby directed to return oyer
supply at once and get credit slip show
ing return. The Food Administration
for Wisconsin is giving the people a
final opportunity to voluntarily return
excess supplies and protect themselves
from possible prosecution in Federal
Court. In a few days special effort
will be made to see that all families
are living up to the order.
Right now, if you have more than
you should, return it and notify the
Food Administrator. We have been
lenient in the past but this will not con-
tinue.
