Columbia.?^The embargo on flour, which has been in effect in South Carolina, has been raised by order of William Elliott, food administrator for the State. Since May 15, during the j time the embargo on flour has been | on in this State, shipments of flour were made into South Carolina only on permits from the Food Administra- i tion. The lifting of the embargo j means that there may be free move-! ment of flour into the State, without: permits, hereafter. The embargo serv-1 ed to cut down shipment of flour from ; the mills at a critical time and through i a period of extreme shortage so far j as the "wheat supply was concerned., During the embargo, however, there j was free movement of flour from one j part of the State to another, and no j section suffered, which was seen to j by the Food Administration. With the coming In of the new wheat crop there will be relief in the j situation, but this does not mean tnat j the public will be relieved from wlleat I saving. Conservation is still vitally i necessary. A hungry, fighting world | is to be fed. Only in the United j States will there be enough wheat,, and the harvest will provide enough! in this country only if the people con-; form with the Food Administration j rules and regulations. SUGAR OBTAINABLE ONLY IN 8MALL LOTS; Purchases for Household Use Limited | by Food Administration--Sugar Can Be Secured for Canning and Preserving. Columbia.?Under new regulations Issued by the Food Administration tnd which hare already gone into ef'ectt, sugar for household use cannot lie purchased in larger lota than two pounds by persons residing In cities ind towns, or in larger than flvs pound lots by persona residing ki rural sections. These new regulations iare been rendered necessary by th? mgar shortage, which has become serious. It is unlawful for any dealer :o violate this rale, and the seriousaess of the situation as regards sugar ;alls for the most rigid economy In Its use. For canning and preserving fruits! rod vegetables, which is regarded as j rery Important by the Food Adminis-1 tration, sugar can be obtained In lota j ip to 25 pounds, but,not more than 26 pounds will be sold to any one person in any one month for canning rod preserving. It Is necessary, In order to obtain j sugar for canning and" preserving pur- J poses, that the purchaser sign a' jledge blanks for which the dealer J aas on hand, these being furnished I by the Food Administration. The pur- j :haser pledses' himself to use the, mgar so obtained for canning and preserving purposls only, and to return to the dealer any portion of the sugar, not used for such purpose. Dealers! Brill strictly enforce this rule. The public is urged by the Food Ad-1 ministration to save every possible spoonful of sugar. There is none to waste. As a matter of fact, the sugar I situation is serious. Cuban deliveries j have been shorter than were expected.' Consumption has been larger. Sub-! marine losses have been heavy, and a ; reduction of sugar consumption all along the line becomes absolutely necassart, says the Food Administration. DNLY NECESSARY USE OF ICE PERMITTED ; Bulletin Issued by Food Admlnlstra- i tlon Points Out Sources of Ice I Waste Which Should Be Avoided, i Calumbia?Theh necessity of conserves ice becomes important with the summer months ahead, and the Food Administration for South Carolina has ; Issued a bulletin in which some pre- j cautionary suggestions are made. "The call for conservation of ic? 1b i prompted not by any anticipated} ihortage, but in the general interest 3f thrift and the saving of supplies Bssential to othe>- important industries," says the bulletin. The following suggestions are made to indicate sources of wastte of ice: "The practice of shaving ice for restaurants, soda fountains, etc., should be eliminated. "It tnck honnmftfl ar?arr?o In ft nnmmn. I ttlty at any time, a rigorous effort should be made to curtail its us* by concerns dealing in luxuries before any reduction la attempted in the amount allowed families using it In moderation. "Householders should be advised to keep the refrigerator in a cool place, bo see that refrigerator doors close tightt, and not to put warm food in refrigerators to cool at the expease of thence. "Ice should not be used in serving An/I n an f r\r\t\ CI a rvft/i AI Li uib auu ova &vvu> uvi t?u w? From the refrigerator they are cold ] snough. Ice should be saved by serv* I Ing no more tham necessary in glassee of water, tea and other drinks. "The public should not be hysterical over the ianger of an actual lee fash tne. At the worst, oil? a short aetW iental stoppage la likely to ocowr aar* [ rfcere." /;'.i BEEF NEEDED FOR FIGHTING FORGES ______ I New Regulations Concerning Meat ? Consumption Are Announced by the Pood Administration.?Public Urged to Substitute Pork ar.d Save Beef j for Army and Allies. Cjolumtti*.?"Householders are not [ under any circumstances to buy more j than one and one-quarter pounds of | clear beef .weekly (or one and ono-half j pounds Including tho bone) per per-j son in the household," says Herbert . Hoover, federal food administrator in j a telegram to William Elliott, food I administrator for South Carolina, an-1 nouncing new regulations concerning the consumption of meats. "The demands for beef for our army and the allied armies and their civil population for this summer are beyond our present surplus," Mr. Hoover's telegram continues. "On the other: hand, we have enough increased supply of pork this summer to permit eco- j nomical expansion in its use. It will, therefore, be a direct service to our j armies and the allies if our people would, in some degree, substitute j fresh, pork, bacon, ham and sausage! for beef products." The Food Administration, (n view of the demands for beef for the army and the allies, has now reached the point where it must reauest all hotels and restaurants not to place on their bills j of fare or serve boiled beef for more ! than two meals per week, and beef-' steak for not more than two meals; per week. Roast beef is also limited ! to one meal a week. 81 LOS TO HELP WIN THE WAR. , . Build silos and help defeat the German submarines now attacking supply ships. England and France are face v to face wittf a serious shortage of feeds. Horses and cows are to be placed, on rations in England. This means that America will be called upon to supply the allied countries with more meats. Silos are the best means of ftonnnryinfl' our atncfe- fearis Nn* ; la the time to. butld them. The j size of the silo should deepnd upon the number of cattle to be fed. The cow or steer daring the winter feeding period conr aumes about four tons of sil age. From this it is easy to determine how large to make the alio. WOMAN'S REAL PART / j IN WAR ACTIVITY; Firtt Place Given to Food Conserva- 1 tlon and Food Production in Appeal} ^ to Women of the Country from Offi- e elal Washington. j & | Columbia.?A special appeal to the 1 women of the country is made by offi* 1 cia.1 Washington, through .the Food A J n. im'n^ I tnn an/1 arvi nTi"i clp 4 a loM : ^VUULLlillotx aixuu, auu is iuau , upon the fact that women have never before been called upon to boar so great a burden as the coming month? t wiH impose upon their courage and p their constancy. ^ Woman's part in all war activities ii primarily food pre auction and food r conservation. a "The women of America must see t to it," says the authoritative state- ^ mean, "chat the nation's producing . power is not enfeebled by the draft " made upon it to strengthen the fight-' S ing power. f "They must produce fod by work- ]j ing gardens, by raising chickens, by ^ doing farm service where they can or by helping a-nd encouraging those who t!
