Geo. W. Hutchison Fred Man re r Committee. Federal Food Administration for Xeb G. W. Wattles, Food Administrator Sales of foodstuffs in combination arc forever prohibited, according to rules just laid down in Washington by the U. S. Food Administration. Tho regulation is immediately effective and will stop a practice which has been in vogue since the beginning of commercialism. The ruling says: "Washington, D. C. Nov. 17, 1917. On and after this date all combination sales of food commodities are for bidden with exception herein stated. Sale of one or more food commodities upon condition that purchaser shall buy one or more other food commodi ties from seller is regarded as a com bination sale within meaning of this ruling. Combination sales frequently result in the sale of more foodstuff than purchaser would ordinarily buy and are, therefore, determined to be wasteful practices within the meaning di Section 4 of Food Administration Act. "Exception, Pending furthernotice as a wheat conservation measure. dealer may sell sugar in combination with comment at ratio of one pound sugar with two of cornmeal. No other combination will be permitted nor any other ratio. Dealer is not required to make combination sale but if he does, he shall not sell either sugar or cornmeal at price yielding him profit greater than he lias enjoyed normally upon this particular commodity. Act ive steps should be taken at once to enforce this decision." Hoarders of Foodstuffs Will Have to Pay Penalty Hoarding will bo severely dealtwith by the Food Administration. Buying any supply of any foodstuff greater than for 60 days' use will be con sidered sufficient evidence of hoard ing and in the matter of sugar, be cause of tho scarcity, supplies for more than, two weeks will be con strued as hoarding. Sales of sugar in 100 pound lots is directly contrary to tho spirit and letter of tho ruling and will bo dealt with severely. Tho Department of Justice has, ruled that individual who buys in unlawful quantities shall bo prosecuted and the seller shall bo jointly liable. Steps aro now being taken to prosecute tho mail order houses who aro shipping into tho state in vloIationTof the orders nnd tho buy ers ns well. "These rulings will bo strictly en forced", says Food Administrator Wattles, "and violators must be pre pared to take thc'consequence". M. A.
