LIQUOR DEALERS
TO CONSERVE ICE
Volunteer to Cut Consump-

Next Week
SUGAR ORDER
is MADE CLEAR

Retail liquor dealers OF the city have
volunteered TO save fifty per cent. OF
the fee they normally use, during the
coming week, in order 10 relieve the
fee crisis that threatens the city. They
announced this decision today in a
letter to Edmund Mitchell, food ad-
ministrator for Delaware in the fol-
lowing letter:
"Mr. Edmund Mitchell,
Federal Food Administrator,
Wilmington. Del.
Dear Sir: On account OF the present
ice shortage, the members Of the Re
tail Liquor Dealers Protective AssO-
citation desire to do all in their power
TO relieve the present ice situation.
and beg to inform you that they will
reduce their regular consumption fully
one-half during next week unless notl-
fed sooner by you that the crisis is
over.
Yours very truly,
lSigned) EDWARD KRAUsE,
president Retail Liquor Dealers Pro-
tective Association"
There appears to have been mis-
understanding on the part Of some
grOcers and dealers in food regarding
the sale Of sugar for preserving. Some
have refused a housewife sugar for
preserving after selling her % pounds
This is not the intention OF the food
administration.
When sugar is used for preserving
fruits, a housewife may obtain all the
sugar that she can use for that pur-
pose. There are but two provisions.
She must not buy for future needs.
She can only buy enough sugar for
what fruit she is using at the pres
ent. She must also sign a certificate
to her dealer, stating that she is OBJ
taining the sugar solely for preserv-
ing. But she can get sugar as often
as she needs 1t and as much as she
needs-f0r preserving.
That IS the reason why sugar sales I
are limited-ln order that the house /
wife may obtain enough for her pre- |
serving needs.

RED CROSS TO TAKE
WASTE NEXT MONTH

The Red Cross will conduct a second
campaign for waste the last week OF

successful and more than $500 was
realized. During the war these cam
paigns Will be continued every three
months, to help buy soldiers comforts
In the way OF shoes and clothing.

saved for them, and turned into money
to help meet these demands. House
keepers will have a chance TO save
from now until the last week OF Sep

With all shipyards in operation, it

Mr.. Hurley's budget for the new
year probably will run close to So
