In addition to aUitcuieuts of quantities of sugar on hand, dealers and manufacturers using or handling this commodity, will be required to give detailed inforroa thm concerning their requirements, and subject themselves to still further radical restrictions in the consumption of sugar for the mouths of July, August and September. To Expedite the distribution of sugar, all of which under the new regulations comes under the jurisdiction of the federal food adniinistra ! tor, J. E Larger. head of the sugar division, in the office of L>r. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, has prepared a classitica Hon supplementing that effective | heretofore, and will require all dis--1 tribution hereafter (except that for household consumption) to tie on a certificate basis The classification is as follows: A. Candy makers, soft drinks, soda fountains, chewing gum, chocolate and cocoa manufacturers, tobacco manufacturers, flavoring extracts. Invert sugar, syrups, sweet pickles wines, etc These must show the amount of sugar used during the months of July, August and September. 1)M 7, aud certificates issued to them, if the statements are found correct, will he based upon 50 per cent of such average use j Ice cream makers will be entitled to 175 per cent. Certificate* will be issued separately for each month s sup ply. B. Commercial canners These will he given certificates for 1 their necessary requirements, hut any I resale of sugar bV them except undei the express direction of the local food administrator, will constitute a violation of the regulations, aud subject them to closing of business for the period of the war. Any sugar on hand at the end of the season must i hp placed at the disposal of the tood administrator. A special appeal is made to this group to economize in every possible direction. C. Hotels, restaurants, public eat ing houses i serving twenty five or more persons l. These will receive certificates on the basis of three pounds for each ninety meals served. D. Bakers. These will receive certificates for 70 per cent, of the average amount used during July, August and September. 1917. or alternatively. 70 per cent of that used during June. 1918. K. Retail Stores. These will receive for July pur chases, certificates based upon the average of sugar sold during the com bined three months of April. May and tune. 1918. Retailers must not sell sugar to any of the other groups; that is. to none except householders, with out taking up the. certificates of such purchases. Sales to town customers are limited to 2 pounds, and country customers to 5 pounds. The retallei is admonished not to sell more than 7, pounds per person per month tc householders, whose co-operation with the retailer Is earnestly sought. Retailer* may. a* at present*. sell 25 pound* of sugar to any on# household foi horn* < a aniinc. upon the householder eertl fyinjr that lie ha* not bought elsewhere an<l hi* agreement to return any balanoi not n*ed for canning purpose* Household or*, on certificate, may obtain more than 21 pounds, for horn# canning where need it shown, but in no Instance will a sale of more than lftft pounds for home canning purpose be permitted without the approva of the local food administrator No wholesaler or refiner will be per mitted to *eli any sugar whatsoever except on the certificate basts. Any person in any of the above five groups, who doe* not fib bis statement promptly, will not be per rnitted to buy sugar for the period of the war. and action will at once be taken against *ny sugar hp may have oh hand In excess of 3ft days' supply, and he will bt charged with hoarding. No firm will be permitted a stock In excess of a 3 months' supply on the basis outlined above. Any stock itt excess of 3* da.-s’ supply, but less than 90 days' supply must t»e hebi subject to the loral fond ad minisfrater, for distribution If necessary rtepenij ing on the remoteness from the source of supply. Tb* food administration will construe any attempt* by dealer* and manufacturers to lay up a supply, as boarding, aud upon conviction, this often#* Is punishable by tine and imprisonment. “While in law the same rule might h« applied to householders, the food admin Ist rut ton proposes to rest upo the honor and co-operation of the householder not to hold more than a 3ft days' supply, upon the basis of 3 pounds per person in the household.” said Dr. Barnard. In explanation of the more stnn*ent regulations of the sugar supply and it* distribution. Dr. Barnard said: “A num her of causes have cumulated to make out stiff a r position more difficult than wt could have anticipated at the beginning «t the year. The increased shipping needed by our growing Army in France hap necessitated the curtailment of sugar trans porta Mon, particularly from the Itmarat voyage, aud has thus reduced supplies both to the allies and ourselves from remote markets. Some of the accessible sugai producing areas have proved a less yield than was anticipated, such as certain West Indian Islands. The domestic beet and Louisiana crop* have fallen below an iciput loti. There ha* been some destruction of beet sugar factories in the battle area of France and Italy. We have lost con siderable sugar by submarines. “As close an estimate as we can make, indicates a reasonable expectation from all source* ->f about 1.600,000 tuns of sugar for ( lilted Stale* consumption during the Isst half of the present year. This is based upon the maintenance of the present meager allied ration. An improvement In shipping condition* would, of course, re lievo this situation, a quantities of augar are In unavailable market*. We must, how ever, base the distribution of sugar during the next six months, upon the above font ing. After that period, the new West Indian crop will-be available. “This supply of l,<M)o,i*Oft t<B&« n press I tales a considerable reduttion in our con sumption. To provide three pound* of sijgnr per month per person for household use. to take care of our army and navy, and to provide for the necessary pre**rv«V t{on of fruit, itiilk. will require nboul 1,500.00 ft tons of sugar for the six mouths. A household consumption «f g pounds per month per person, together with the special allowance for tfiftme canning, mean* « reduction of some 25 per cent, in the*** branches of consumption from normal, htp j It is still r-earl’y denbie the. ration in tW« - a&ed ‘ countries ana is staple for every » •couomiral use ” L i,'\ -v

Dougherty, director of publicity for the laike Division. replied as follows: "I hasten to take this opportunity of requesting you to do- all possible to wipe out this partkular chain letter, or any chain letter which uses the name of the American Red Cross. For seven months bow the American Red Cross and the French consul at Seattle, have been doing everything possible to break every link of ihis chain. At one time we thought this pest hid been put out of the way. but within the last month the thing has broken out again. This week's issue of the iaike Division News contains a little story on "chain letters.” which disinetlv outlines the position of the Red Cross in this matter, and which might be of some service to you in breaking some of the links in Indiana. Believe me when 1 say that anything you may do to stop this letter will l>e thoroughly appreciated, not bnly by the diWsion office, but by the rational headifffirters as well.” 1 he chain letter story in the “News” referred to by Mr. Dougherty follow?: "The American Red Cross has • never sanctioned the chain letter, and, according to a recent letter on this subject from national headquarters, it is apparent that the Red Cross never will sanction the chain letter, in fact, one chain letter which has again gotten into circulation, at the I request of the American Red Cross was at one time investigated and followed up by the department of jus ) tioe. "It is the request of the division' headquarters that all Lake Division, charter publicity chairmen issue, through the medium of every newspaper in their respective jurisdieMon, a statement that the Red Cross heartily disapproves of the chain letter. and that persons receiving chain letters which mention the name of the Red Cross, immediately destroy 1 , such letters and so break many links I in the chain.” GREATEST CIRCUS IS COMING SOON' i Barnum 4 Bailey Show Wil!
