JOiOTHER TALL IS MADE ON SHiAK. j ' ! Housewives Are Asked to Cut Ration j Still Further?Present Shortage is Critical. ! l?lv ^7 ;T?nrthor y?o _ I \>l>UUIJL>ia, U u;,? X U1\ i IV I duction of the consumption of sugar ' is made necessary by the present critical shortage; and the Food Ad- , ministraion, in calling upon th? | home consumers to cut down the use of suoar to even less than the ration which had been previously establish- j ed emphasizes the fact that unless the , new regulations are voluntarily carried out by the people, the sugar sup- j ply will not last. It is to safeguard against sugarless ration or a sugar famine that the Food Administration "has cut down the allotment, wiiich | is now three pounds per person per j month, to two pounds per person per j Wt Vi f"PV? i r? nil A^im ATifc o nrklioc r?o i lliuiitli.

In public eating places, restau. j rants, hotels, boarding houses and J dining cars, the new allotment will j be two pounds for each ninety meals j served. Manufacturers of soft d'inks and j candy are now receiving cnlv 50 per- ! cent of their normal supply, or of J their last year's consumption of sua:- j ar. The private homes have been ask- j ed by the Food Administration to t make so deen a cut as that Sugar ! bowls have disappeared from the tables of many of the hotels, restaurants and cafes, and sugar is carefully measured out to guests and consum- ( ers. Under these existing condition? > < there can 'be no unlimited use of sugar, even for a notion of a month, in 3 the homes of those who are endeavor- j 1 In? to conscientiously and patriot!-1 cally live up to the Food Administra- j 1 non ruies ana rt?guiauuiis<. o??.-ai , < must be used with the greatest car<\ 1 j It is too precious to be wasted or to j i t fce used except sparingly.

Only a certain amount f sugar has been alloted to South <"ar- j i /, ' \ ti aril of Thp ! : vaiia iui me ui , dealers can procure only a certain j' allotted amount.

Let your canning and preserving be sugarless if possible, suggests 'the food administration. Then later in ihe year, next winter perhaps, when sugar is plentiful, it may be added to suit your taste. This year when all food must he put up to use in order that more may be sent to the soldiers and the allies, no one has the right to let sugar go to waste or to use sugar when its use can be avoided. The food administration urges that the first crop he saved is far as possible iby canning and dry..; ing. The food administration is making ' i special effort to provide the nec- j jssary sugar to householders for can- ! ling purposes, but there are numerous j nethods of canning without sugar,! jr?/} ihrmcsnrie nf wrmpn ora nuttine iiu \J K ?' .
