FOOD ADMINISTRATION ADVICE

John Eger, food administrator for Jasper county, has. received the ! following suggestions and advice j from the Federal food admlnistra-j tor for Indiana: Advise dealers and others that suckling pigs shall not be kilted , and served as in other years dur-! ing the holidays. The slaughter of! immature animals must be stopped. Use every means to keep hogs on the farms until fully matured. The practice of raffling food, of giving prizes consisting of food, of holding turkey shoots, is in violation of the purposes ;of the food control, and will not be permitted. Food must be distributed in its usual channels to those who need it. Part of the high cost of milk is due to the fact that milk bottles are worth five cents apiece. These bottles are the property of the milk dealers except when they are sold to the consumer. Advise junk dealers and others that they will not be permitted to buy or sell sec-ond-hand milk bottles, pop bottles, etc. Advise milk dealers that they will not be allowed to advance the price of milk to consumers without first securing the .'permission of the federal food administrator for the state. Tli£ food situation is now so serious that the C. S. Food Administration feels it necessary to ask the people to observe a “Meatless Friday" in addition to a "Meatless Tuesday,-' and to make greater efforts than ever to save wheat, meats, sugar and animal fats. The following program is now ! recommended to every citizen, every I home and every hotel, restaurant, boarding house, etc.: 1. MEATLESS TUESDAY. 2. MEATLESS FRIDAY. 3. BACONLESS BREAKFASTS EVERY DAY. 4. WHEATLESS WEDNESDAY. 5. ONE WHEATLESS MEAL EVERY DAY. k. USE LESS SUGAR. 7. USE LESS ANIMAL FATS. “Meatless" means no beef, mutton, or by-products of these, or pork (which includes bacon or ham) in any form. This program may be changed at any time as necessity requires U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION, by John Eger. Administrator for Jasper county.
