TWO POUNDS A MONTH IS SUGAR RATION IN AUGUST

H. JE. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, announced yesterday that Indiana would receive but 8,883,000 pounds of sugar in August. He said that in July the sugar certificates showed a distribution of 13,012,750 pounds. Consequently he announced that another cut in sugar rationing must be made. He issued notices that but two pounds per capita per month would be permitted, instead of the present three pounds'. Hotels and restaurants must make two pounds do for each ninety meals. Certificates for canning will be issued as heretofore. Certificates for manufacturers in Class A, that is, ice cream, candy and some other manufacturers, soda fountains and bottlers,- will be issued no certificates at all for the present. He announced also that the substitution of saccharin for sugar would meet with prosecution under the pure food laws because the substance is deleterious. The Gary Baking Company, of Gary, has been ordered to pay SSOO to local war charities for a violation of the food rules. Charles G. Vahl, of BrownstoWn, has been ordered to close his bakery for ninety days because of violations, Both violators used an improper amount of substitutes along with wheat flour.
