FOOD RULES APPLY TO ALL

Indianapolis, February 25. —Apparently there continues some doubt as to the application of the food regulations to special occasions. Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana is in receipt of another inquiry from a country woman, who asks whether ladies aid societies who serve dinners and sale lunches, come within the affected class. She also asks whether weiner" wuret sandwiches are permissible on meatless day and whether people may kill and use their own chickens and whether there is a penalty. In reply, Dr. Barnard reiterates his recent statement that the regulations apply to everybody all the time, that as long as there is meat in weiner wurst, they are hot permissible on meatless day; that so long as the federal food administration prohibits the slaughter of hens and pullets, that means everybody is included. As to the 'penalty, Dr. Barnard calls attention to the teeth of the food control law, which provides fines and imprisonment up to five thousand dollars and two years in the penitentiary, upon conviction.
