Purchases of sugar for family use may be made monthly hereafter upon the basis of the three pound per person ration. This regulation succeeds that for bimonthly purchases on the two-pound per person per month basis. -

Hotels and restaurants are subject to an interpretation of the three pounds per ninety meals sugar ration by the following: "In no event shall the amount of sugar served to any person at any one meal exceed onehalf an ounce." One teaspoonful of sugar or its equivalent may be served for tea or coffee, plus one- teaspoonful for fruit or cereal (not for both) and one small lump for demitasse.

Bean packers throughout the country will be allowed to operate at normal capacity for the three months beginning today. The Food Administration announces that it is assured of sufficient tin-plate to permit the packing of beans in normal quantities. Canners will be allowed to use up all odd-sized tins now, on hand, but additional purchases of tins smaller than the number two size will not be permitted. The canners will not be allowed to contract for more than a three months supply of either cans or beans, nor will shippers be allowed to sell beans to canners without first securing Food Administration permits.

Carr & Crosby of the Centilever hotel. Ft. Wayne, were permitted to pajf S6O to the United War Work fund, in Allen county, for having used double their sugar for October. '
