Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 153, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1918 — English Meat Cards. [ARTICLE]

English Meat Cards.

Meat can be purchased in metropolitan districts in England only under the card system, which is to be extended throughout the United Kingdom. The child’s meat card is for children under ten years of age, who are entitled to only half as much meat as adults. Horse meat, bones, suet and offal are included among the products for the purchase of which cards are necessary. No one Is exempt; even the royal family is on a meat-card basis. The rigidity of control may be Judged from the fact that forgery of cards Is punishable by heavy fine and that In case of death, the card must ba surrendered before a burial permit Is granted.
