SUGAR AND FLOUR FOR THRESHERS MEALS

The following letter was received by the food administrator for Jasper county: July 15, 1918. Mr. John Eger, Fed. Food Adm. Jasper Co., Rensselaer, Ind. My Dear Mr. Eger: The housewife may be permitted to buy extra sugar and flour for threshers’ meals, upon the same basis as for her own household. This, in the case of sugar, is one pound for each 30 meals served: in the case of flour, two pounds for each 30 meals. These meals should be very simple, composed of plenty of good, nourishing food. We see no reason why threshers can not feed upon the same ration of the staple foods as is used in their private households. „ . Yours sincerely, U. S. Food Administration for Indiana.
