Columbia.?The sugar allowance of the American people has been increas-j ed by one-haJf. The alio wanoe of two pounds per person per month, tx> which we hare 1 been limited, is now increased to three pounds per person per month. This increase was announced by the Food Administration to become effec- j tive November 1. The same proportionate increase applies to public eating places. two pounds to each 90 meals served has been the allowance. The allowance j la now three pounds to ?ac h90 meals, j j This makes good the promise of the Food Administration to increase the household allowance of sugar at the earliest possible moment that the supply would justify it, and makes it possible for the householder to more free- j ly use cereals, apple, cranberry and j grape fruit products and the use of i fruits canned without sugar during the past summer. In additon, it is announced at tie : i same time that, instead of the neces- ' sity of buying sugar twice a month, a whole month's supply of sugar may 5 be purchased at one time, and retail ! j dealers are notified to sell sugar in \ such quantities. It is amiounced simultaneously by j the Food Administration that, the can- J ning season having closed for this ? year, no more home canners' certifl- j catcs will be issued, and no more 1 sugar will be sold in 25 pounds lots j for canning and preserving.

The new conservation plan, fully 9et | forth on the new Home Card, is con- I sidered vital by the Food Adminiatra-11 tlon.

American armed forces, as she ha*11 done heretofore. j j There will be no "Wheatless'* uor J | "Meatless" days provided for ok the I new Home Card, hut the most care- j ful saving in all edlbfles, particularly J ? in the conservation of wheat, meat, j 1 fats and' sugar will be urged. The significant fact behind the new j | Home Card is the absolute and vital j jj necessity of the United Stats sending !
