The Local Food Administrator has
had his attention called to the alleged
violation by some parties Of the re-
cent rulings with regard to the SER
vice Of sugar and butter in public

that such violation is not wilful dis
regard but rather carelessness in
reading the rules which are very
plain, however.
Careful attention is Therefore called

slightly less than one half ounce per

more, is for the the entire meal, no
matter how many different articles
of food, including coffee or tea, are
served.
s. No public eating house shall
serve or permit to be served to any
one person at any one meal more
than one-half ounce of butter, and
therefore, the butter dish must &c

possible for me to convey to you in
any of the English language that

you young man to come with the
expectation of good time on fur.
Tough which in all probability might
be his last with the folks at home
and give up his pleasure and devote
his entire time to the sick folks like
myself.
There is no language that ! know
that can possibly express such g
sacrifice The only thing that | car
say that | must leave it with oul
God for settlement feeling that you
won't be forgotten by the Supreme
Being.

John Tucker Writes
OF Countries He
Has Visited

John Tucker, son of Mr.. Epps
Tucker, Jr., who has been in the
Navy the past two years, writes the
Telegram as follows from Key West
where he is now stationed:
Key West, Florida,
November l, 1918.
Mr.. M. F. Hetherington.
My Dear Sir: | have never written
to your paper since l left Lakeland,
but will take this liberty now.
l have been in quite few foreign
countries since | enlisted-China,
aJpan, Philippine Islands, Brazil, Uru-
quay Argentine, Panama, Australia
Guam, Hawaii and several Provinces
of Mexico.
But, as some one has remarked
when you see one you see them all, u
which means that they all look very
much alike.
OF course, it is very interesting to
travel, and | would not have missed
the trip to South America for any
thing. The most Americanized couh'
try in South America is, believe
Uruguay.
My ship put into Montevideo, which
is the capital of Uruguay last June
and one could see at glance that
the natives of that country were copy
ing after the Americans in many
ways. We were welcomed to their
city and had great time for the
short time we we're there.
Rio De Janciro, Brazil is one OF
the most beautiful cities | have visit
ed, but the people there are an in
different sort and are merging the
black race into the white. You car
see at any time black man walking
down the street with a white woman
or a white man with black woman
as the case may be. But, after all
America for Americans" and | an
not an exception to the rule. | low
my country as any American should
and always shall.

of us have to stay over here, and

the unlucky. My best friend, beste
Barton, is in the war zone, chasin

He gave up every pleasure and went
TO work as nurse and devoted his
entire time of his furlough to such
work, myself being one of his pa

or to have such young men in any

see fit to write him how much such
men are appreciated by our great
nation.
