Germans are urged to economic in
food as they did day after day during
the war.
The weekly allowance Of food for the
civilians of Coblenz as fixed by the Ger
man civil authorities is virtually the
same as while the war was in progress.
The present price for milk, which is
allotted to infants and invalids, Is 81
marks a quart.
Of Coblenz for the week from Dec. 80
to Jan. 5 was as follows: Bread, four
pounds and eight ounces; cereal (bar-
ley), seven ounces; potatoes, seven
pounds: meat, seven ounces; soup stock,
eve ounces; margarine, two ounces
artificial honey, five ounces The al

week before, excepting that during the
week previous IA ounces of meat were
allowed, and each individual was al
lowed five ounces of tam and seYen
Additional allowances for heavy
workers and children are about the
same from week to week. Under this
ruling the workers are permitted to
purchase an additional pound Of pota-
toes, and children under two years Of
age are allowed half a pound Of bis
