THREE POUNDS OF SUGAR TO EACH PERSON

The newspapers announce that the United States Food Administration has increased the monthly household allowance of sugar for each person from two to three pounds. This order, which takes effect immediately, according to the report, provides that the entirely monthly allowance may be purchased at one time. However, Local Food Administrator Eger states that he has received no official orders to raise the allowance and local stores will sell but two pounds to each person a month as before.
