li ALLOTMENT
i IS EOT OEETIIBO
I \
???
Two Pounds Per Person Per Month is
Ration For August?But is Made
Necessary By Present Critical
Shortage.
Columbia.?Two pounds of sugar
per month per person.
That is the allotment for the month
of August.
Because of the present critical situation
as regards the sugar supply, the
Food Administration has found is
necessary to cut down the ration from
three pounds per month per person to
two pounds per month per person.
In further limiting the sugar supply
for home use. the Food Administration
calls attention to the fact that
already the makers of soft drinks and
candy have been cut down to 50 per
cent of their normal supply, or 50 per
cent 01 tneir consumipion last year.
Hotels, restaurants and public eating
places are likewise further limited.
Public eating places may not buy
more than two pounds of sugar for
every 90 meals served.
Sugar bowls are disappearing from
the tables of public eating places, and
the sugar furnished guests and customers
is carefully measured.
It becomes necessary, therefore, for
the home consumers to cut down the
consumption! of gugar. Only a certain
amount has been alloted to South Carolina
for the month. The merchants
cannot buy more than a certain
amount. Unless there is the moat rigid
economy practiced in the Use of
sugar in the home, there will be sugarless
meals before. September L;
Two pounds per month,per pereoih
That is the allotment. That is twice
as much as the people of fighting
France or the people of Italy are allowed?when
they can get sugar' at
*n- i )
" The Foejd Administration makes
these suggestions to save sugar:? '
Do not leave sugar in the bottom of
coffee cup.
Substitute molasses or com syrup
for part of sugar used in cooking.
Make cakes without frosting.
Use fruits for dessert in the place
of dishes requiring sugar. v.
Cut down the- use of candy audi
a. I me s
sweei annus. iney are luxuries.
Portion the sugar used on the table.
Sugar is precious.
