Crawford county have agreed as an organization, and individually, to buy no more candy, and to quit selling I candy when their present stock is ox- 1 hausted. This is a step toward con-i serving the sugar supply, the importance of which is fully realized in this' county. TJte action was reported to' Dr. Barnard, federal food administra- 1 tor for ndiana. by Dr. John H. Luck-’ ett. county food administrator. Dr.' | Barnard feels the people will prove as 'patriotic as the grocers, and will dis- 1 pense entirely with the consumption of candy. Notwithstanding its claim that government orders in brass can not be delivered except through the use oi wheat flour, an order of “absolute | prohibition” was entered today by Dr.' Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, in the case of the Lincoln Way Brass Foundry of South Bend. The application of the company was referred to Dr. Barnard 1 y A. F. Eby, federal food administrator for St. Joseph county, whom Dr. Barnard advised, "the necessity for bread is greater than Jor brass." and the foundry will have to find some substitute or fail in its contract. The action of A. F. Helmcamp, federal food administrator for Clark county, in taking over and operating the ice manufacturing business of Timothy Asberry in Charlestown, has be-n approved by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. Administrator Helmcamp reported that Asberry had refused to make deliveries of ice at the agreed price of 50c per hundred pounds on a very hot day. "causing great inconvenience and annoyance to the people,” Mr. Helmcamp adds in his indictment of Mr. Asberry, “publicly he has damned me and the food administration many times, ignoring the rules and regulations of the food administration altogether.” An order suspending the license of tile American Hay Company c.f Goshen, ndiana. from June 5 to December 5, six months, has been entered by the United States fetal administration. on the recommendation of Dr. jH. E. Barnard, federal food adminisjtrator for Indiana, whose authority also includes the administration of the licensed deales in feed stuff’s. The company was found to have made contracts in September 1917 for seveta! carloads of hay to be delivered to a South Carolina firm, at $26 per ton. l After several months deay they offered to fill the contracts at an advance' of SB.OO, or $34.00 per ton. This is a clear violation of the federal food :idministrat ion. i Home canning of fish and meats should engage the attention of housci wives during the summer, according Ito the department of agriculture. It is not enough to make jellies, jams and ketchups in accordance with long established customs, for new methods' of Conserving food extend the scope of possibilities. “Home canning of i fruits and vegetables has become s..>| widespread that it is quite natural the next step should be the home-canning of fish and meats,” said Frants P Lund, specialist on home - canning of meats and sea foods, United States department of Agriculture. "It is possible not. only to avoid waste, but also to utilize meat scraps and soup bones.; With a sui-’ply of canned meats the housewife can prepare and serve a palatable meal on short notice with a saving of both fuel and time. It also nmkes possible a more varied diet, lessening the dependence upon cured, salted and smoked meats.” BE~SURE TO°HEAR THEM. Five Canadians, who have seen service in the great battles in France, will speak at the court house next Monday evening with overflow meetings outside, if necessary. These nien have iiad terrible experiences have a broad view of the war and their messages will be worth hearing. TO LEAVE FOR CHICAGO Dr. J. S. Boyers will leave tomorrow, Saturday, on the 11:20 Erie train for Chicago to attend the sessions of the i American Medicil Association affd i several special waj' meetings. He will i return Friday of next week, the 14th. <
