Government Began Distribution of Surplus Stocks Last Monday. Tho War Department and the Uost Ofllce Department inaugurated last Monday, the 18th, a system of sell ing and distributing, through the parcels post service, the surplus food stutts held by the War Department. The food offered, for sale by the War Department is in excellent con dition. Tho meats are packed from the best, cuts ohio mable, and tho veg etables" aro standard packs. All the commodities were government in spected -nd prepared in accordance with army specifications. The prices at which those goods are offered are materially lower the? those of simi lar commodities in tho commercial markets. Order forms and other data re J quired by the Post Office Department to make the plan operative will be furnished by the War Department in a very short time, and all these nec essary papers will doubtless be on hand by the time purchasers are in readiness to take advantage of this opportunity to buy food through the medium of the parcels post. Post j pouement of immediute inaugura tion of this plan was necessary to give the Post Office Department op portunity to issue instructions to the moro than 5 8,000 postmasters over the United States and to furnish them with the order forms, so that the citizens of the United States would be given the opportunity to purchase the surplus food from the army at the same time. The entire responsibility of book ing the orders and of delivery of the goods will be assumed by the Post Office Department, which will requisition the subsistance from the War Department in case or carton lots. Following is a list of prices at which canned and cured meats and canned vegetables aro ofTered for sale through the parcels post. To thone prices the Post Office will I????! Hie postal rates. Tho nearest ship ping point for the people In this sec tion is Atlanta, On., where the army has very largo stores of subsistance products on band. List of Prices. Meats-?
