HAS BEEN LIFTED 1 ?? W< | Flour Con Now Bo Shipped Into State ar Without Permits, But Whoat Con- <te sprvattion Still la Necessary. Sc : W Columbia.?The embargo ou flour, to J which baa boon in effect in South m | Carolina, has been raised by order of nc William Elliott, food administrator for h? the State. Since May IS, during the ej time the embargo on flour has boon th on in this Stato, shipments of flour ac wore made into South Carolina only Qf on permita from the Pood Admlntstra- m | tloo. The lifting of the embargo means that there may be free movement of flour into the State, without St permits, hereafter. The embargo served to cut down shipment of floor from cr the mills at a critical time and through an A period of extreme shortage so far Pu as the wheat supply was concerned. 00 During the embargo, however, there wl was free movement of flour from one P' part of the State to another, and no da section suffered, which was seen to dr by the Food Administration. G? With the coming in of the new so j wheat crop there will be relief in the co , situation, but this does not mean that *e ! the public will be relieved from wheat he | saving. Conservation is still vitally on , necessary. A hungry, fighting world mi j is to be fed. Only in the United sti j States will there be enough wheat, fo : and the harvest will provide enough Cc , in this country only if the people con- th j form with the Food Administration he , rules and regulations. fu co SUGAR OBTAINABLE an ONLY IN 8MALL LOTS wi I Purchases for Household Use Limited t by Food Administration?Sugar Can ? Be 8ecured for Canning and Preserving. Columbia.?Under new regulations va issued by the Food Administration and which have already gone late ef- ne fectt, sugar for household use cannot be purchased In larger lots than twe j?' pounds by persons residing In cities and towns, or in larger than Bra *' pound lots by persons residing In to-1 a<i ral sections These new regulation* a<1 have been rendered necessary by the Sugar shortage, which has become so- 011 rlous. It Is unlawful for any dealer 01 to violate this rule, and the seriousness of the situation as regards sugar calls for the most rigid economy in its use. j For canning and preserving fruits | U and vegetables, which is regarded as '11 very important by the Food Admlnis-' ^ tration, sugar can be obtained In lota up to 25 pounds, but not more than SS m< pounds will be sold to any one per- av son in any one month for canning s 1 and preserving. ? It is necessary. In order to obtain , f on(, nral,lU|>l| VMM. ID ? ? - p poses, that the purchaser sic* ! pledge blanks for which the dealer has on hand, these being furnished 1' by the Ford Administration. The purchaser pledges himself to use the sugar so obtained for canning and pre- 1 serving purposes only, and to return 1 to the dealer any portion of the sugar enot used for such purpose. Dealers will strictly enforce this rule. The public is urged by the Food Administration to save every possible . spoonful of sugar. There is none to waste. As a matter of fact, the sugar situation is serious. Cuban deliveries have been Rhorter than were expected. Consumption has been larger. Subi marine losses have been heavy, and a j reduction of sugar consumption all along the line becomes absolutely nee essary. says tne rood Administration. ONLY NECESSARY USE OF ICE PERMITTED Bulletin Issued by Food Administration Points Out 8ources of Ice Waste Which Should Be Avoided. Calumbia?Theh necessity of conj serving ice becomes important with the summer months ahead, and the Food Administration for South Carolina has ; issued a bulletin in which some precautionary suggestions are made. "The call for conservation of Ice is i prompted not by any anticipated J shortage, hut in the general interest > of thrift and the saving of supplies i essential to other important indus[ I tries," says the bulletin i j The following suggestions are made [ to Indicate sources of wastte of ice: i i "The practice of shaving ice for [ | restaurants. soda fountains. etc., i should be eliminated. "If ice becomes scarce in a comtnui nlty at any time, a vigorous effort | ! should be made to curtail its use by | concerns dealing in luxuries before j ! anv reduction is attempted in the amount allowed families using it In moderation. "Householders should be advised to keep the refrigerator in a rool place, to sec that refrigerator doors close tigh't. and not to put warm food in refrigerators to cool at the expense of J theice. "Ice should not he used In serving fruit and sea food. Served direct from the refrigerator they are cold enough. Ice should be saved by eerrI ing no more than necessary In glasses of wafer, tea and other drinks. "The public should not be hystsrical over the danger of an actual ice fam< ine. A* the worst, only s short accidental stoppage la likely to occur aaywhera." Forgetting la a strange phenomiod. According to tkt modern peyologist?, wo are moat apt to forget oee things that wq do not want to member?especially those of which 9 are ashamed. In an addreaa on criminals who e on the border line of insanity, livered recently before the Clinical ?ciety of St. Elizabeth Hospital ashington, Dr. Leon Emile Duval Id of many mentally unbalanced en who in their normal state could >t remember disgraceful deeds they id done, and said this was to be plained on the basis that "it is e thing of which we are ashamed id which conflicts with the customs society which is soonest relegated the realm of the unconscious."
