OFFIClALf GOD NEWS By Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Federal Food Administrator for Indiana. Beginning July 1, Indiana goes on a strict sugar ration. Ia addition to Ftntements of quantities of sugar on Land, dealers and manufacturers usir or handling this commodity, will b- required to give detailed information concerning their requirements, and subject themselves to still further radical restrictions In the consumption of sugar for the months of July, August and September. To expedite the distribution of sugar, all of -which under the new regulations comes under the jurisdiction of the federal food administrator, J. B. Larger, head of the sugar division, in the offlee of Dr. Harrv E. Barnard, federal food administrator 1 tor Indiana, has prepared a classification supplementing that effective heretofore, and will re-quire all distribution hereafter (except that for household consumption) to be on a certificate basis. The classification is as follows: A. Candy makers, soft drinks, soda fountains, chewing gum. chocolate and cocoa nianufactut-rs. tobacco manufacturers, flavoring extracts. Invert sugar, syrups, sweet pickles, wines, etc. These must show the amount of ugar used during the months of July, August and September, 1917, and certificates issued to them, if the statements are found correct, will be based upon 50 per cent, of such average use. Ice cream makers will bo entitled to 75 per cent. Certificates will be Issued separately for each month's supply. B. Commercial canners. These will be given certificates for their necessary requirements, but any resale of sugar by them except under the express direction of the loca' food administrator, will constitute a violation of the regulations, and subject them to closing of business for the period of the war. Any sugar on hand at the end of the season must be placed at the disposal of the food j administrator. A special appeal is made to this gToup to economize la every possible direction. C. Hotels, restaurants, public eating houses (serving twenty-five or more persons). These will receive certificates on the basia of three pounds for each ninety meals served. D. Bakers. These will receive certificates for TO per cent, of the average amount used during July August and September. 1917. or alternatively, 70 per cent, of that used during June, 191S. E. Retail Stores. These will receive for July purchases, certificates based UDon the average of sugar sold during the com- j bined three months of April. May and I June. 1918. Retailers must not sell sugar to any of tho other groups; that i is. to none except householders, without taking up the certificates of such purchases. Sales to town customers are limited to 2 pounds, and country j customers to 5 pounds. The retailer I is admonished not to sell more than i 3 pounds per person per month to householders, whose co-operation with the retailer is earnestly sought. R?tni;prs mar. as at present, sell S3 pounds of sugar to any one housohold for -iom canning, upon the householder certifying that be has not bought elsewhere. s:d his agreement to return any balance rot used for cannlnc purposes Householders, on certificate, may obtain more than 25 runnels, for home c inning where need in sUown. but in no instance will a sale of more than 130 pounds for home canning purpose be permitted without the approval of the local food administrator. No wholesaler or rellner will be permitted to sell any huar whatsoever except cn the certificate basis. Any person In anjr of the abeve tve croups, who does not file his statement promptly, will not be permitted to buy sugar for the period of the war. aid action will at once be taken ;aics. any augar he nspy have on hand in excess of 30 day-' supply, and he will be Charged wi hoardingNo Brm wnl be permitted a stock In excess of n 3 months' supply on the basis ! 01 tliued above. Any stock in excess of 20 flags' supply, hut less than 90 days' supply ! must be held subject t: the local food ad- ; Jtiioistratur, for distribution if necessary, i depending on the remoteness from the j urce of supply. The food administration j will construe any attempts by dealers and j manufacturers to lay up a supply, cs ; boa.dinir. and upon conviction, this olnse Is punishable by fine and im prisoncient. I "While in law tse same rule m'.ht be pplled to householders, the food adruin- j istratlon proposes to rest upon the honor I nr.d to operation of the householder not to j liuld more than a 30 days' supply, upon j the b.Tsis of 3 pounds per person in the ! household." said Dr. Barnard. In explanation of the more stringent rf?uiations of tt susrar supply and its distribution, Dr. Baruard said: "A number of causes have cumulated to make our fupr position more difficult than we uld have anticipated at the bejriscine of the year. The Increased shipping needed ! by our growing Army in France has necessitated the curtailment of sugar transportation, particularly from the longer ; voyage, and Las thus reduced supplies both j to the allies and ourselves from remote j markets. Some of the accessible su.rar I producing areas have proved a ls yield than was anticipated, such as certain West Indian Islands. The domestic beet and Louisiana crops have fallen below anticipation. There has been some destruction cf beet sugar factories in the battle area cf France and Italy. We have lost considerate sugar by submarines. "As close an estimate as we can make. Indicates a reasonable expectation from all Fourees of about 1,600.000 tons of stij.ir for T'nited States consumption durincr the last half of the present year. This is based upon the maintenance of the present i meaner allied ration. An improvement In 1 ebipping conditions would, of course, re- j Ik've this situation, ns quantities Vf suffar j are in unavailable markets. We must, however, base the distribution of sugar duringr ' tLe next six months, upon the airove fnotlr.c After that period, the new West Indian crop will be available. "This supply of l.Coti.OO tons necessitates a considerable reduction in our consumption. To provide three pounds of stit-ar per month per person for household ti!i, tj take care of our array and navy, and to provide for the Decessary preservation cf fruit, milk. etc.. will require about 1.500.000 tons cf su;ar for the six months. A household consump"on of 3 pounds per month per person, together with the special allowance for boae canning, iaean a reduction of some 25 per cent, in these branches of consumption from normal, but It is still nearly double the ration ia the allied countries and is ample for every tcouomlr.il use." Computir. Tune in Greenland. Up in Greenland, where the nights are six months long, the time-table ' r.Ccs no tli.Torer.ee on the score of daylight savins. "What time do you haro breakfast?" asked the traveling man nt the Greenland hotel. "From half-past M.-rch to quarter of May," answered the urbane clerk. Opinions.
