Sugar Must be Bought
in Small Quantities
A shortage of sugar is apparent and
drastic measures must bo taken that
every one may have sujtar. says Gur-
don W. Wattles, Federal Food Admin
istrator for Nebraska. The drain up
on tho United States for supply of
the Allies has knocked a big Tiolc in
the available supply. Published re
ports that no limit has been placed
upon BUgar purchases nro absolutely
untrue and have been prompted by
ignorance of tho existing conditions.
"Tho Federal Food Administration
is asking the citizens to limit their
purchases of sugar to small quan
tities and to buy oftener," says Mr.
Wattles. "The Washington office
has said that three pounds of sucrar
per month per person is a reason
able -supply and that Nebraska citi
zens Bhould bear these fimiros in
mind in making purchases.
"Retailers are asked to limit sales
of sugar to consumers to five pounds
in cities and towns and in tho rural
districts not to sell more than ten
pounds at any one time. Retailers,
however, will have to uso their Judg
ment in tho matter of size of families.
"If wo buy small amounts and often.
every one can have some sutrar: if
we ouy in largo amounts some one
.
will have to go without. We want I
everybody, no matter how biir or littb. '
to have an equal chance.
Agents Taking Orders
Must Have Licenses
These recent rulings of tho Food
Administration will bo of information
to all Nebraskans:
Traveling salesmen, lcnicscnlinrr
mercantile establishments selling direct-to
the consumer, must be licensed
as brokct s. This applies to those
who take oiders, which are shipped
cither direct to the consumer or to
the salesman and distributed by him.
Bakers in making bread mav uso
ten (10) ounces of skimmed dried
milk instead of six (G) pounds of
ficsh skimmed milk, if they desire.
to every 19G pounds of flour or meal
used.
Bakers may donate their nroductfr
to chinches and charitable institu
tions.
Pour Pounds of Flour
Should Last One Week
Four pound of flour nor -woi'k tin.
person has been defined as a reason
able amount, accoiding to Guidon W.
wattles, l-edeial Food Administrator
for Nebraska. Consume stimuli!
bear theso figures in mind in making
their puichabos so that theie may be
an even distribution of flour thtough
out the country.
"Wo want to stabilize prices and
keep them fiom soaring," said Mr.
Wattles. "By tho voluntaiy coopera
tion of the citizens of Nubiasku w.
can accomplish this without hardships
on any one or any class of people.
"Bread is the staff of life and w
must exercise every precaution that
an can get it at a leasonablc cost,
taking into consideration existing con
ditions."
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24, 1017.
