by Food Administration ? Sugar Can
Be Secured for Canning and Pre

Columbia* ? Under new regulations
Issued by the Food Administration
and which have already gone Into ef
fectt. stigar for household use cannot
be purchased in larger lots than two
pounds by persons residing In cities
and towns, or in larger than Ave
pound lot* by persons residing in ru
j ral sections. These new regulations
; have been rendered necessary by the
i sugar short ago, which has become se
J rious. It Is unlawful for any dealer
to violate this rule, and the serious
! nnss of the situation as regards sugar
: calln for the most rigid economy in
Us use.
For canning and preserving fruits
and vegetables, which is regarded as
very important by the Food Adminis
tration. sugar can be obtained in lots
up to 2f> pounds, but not more than 25
pounds will bo sold to any one per
son in any one month for. canning
and preserving.
It is necessary, in order to obtain
sugar for canning and preserving pur
poses, that the purchaser sign a
pledge blanks for which the dealer
has on hand, these being furnished
by the Food Administration. The pur
chuser, pledges himself to use the
sugur so obtained for canning and pre
earving purposes only, and to return
; to the dealer any portion of the sugar
! not used for such purpose. Healers
| will strictly enforce I his rule.
J The public is urged by the Food Ad
ministration to save every possible
apoonful of sugar. There Is none to
waste. As a matter of fact, the sugar
situation is serious. Cuban deliveries
ha v<? been shorter than were expected.
Consumption has been larger. Sub
marine losses htve been heavy, and a
reduction of sugar consumption all
along the IIiip becomes absolutely nec
essary. says the Food Administration.
