HOW SUGAR FOR CANNING AND
PRESERVING MAY BE SECURED.
Butler, Ga., May 6, 1918
Editor, Butler Herald:
As mention was made in last week’s Herald relative to the
use of sugar for canning and preserving purposes, I beg to submit
the following as the rule governing the sale of sugar for those
purposes, which are to be strictly observed. Read carefully, cut
this out and preserve for future reference.
J. T. ADAMS,
Food Administrator for Taylor County, Ga.
To provide for household preserving and canning, Dr. An
drew M. Soule, federal food administrator for Georgia,- has pro
mulgated the following plan and ol der for obtaining sugar, under
certificate, in the amount of 25 pounds at one time:
To County Food Administrators:
Under the due execution of the certificate below, permission
may be given to any person to buy at one time not to exceed 25
pounds of sugar for canning and preserving purposes. You
should instruct all merchants of your county that under no cir
cumstances must sugar be sold in larger quantities than five
pounds to city and ten pounds to country customers without the
execution of this certificate. Any violation of this rule, or failure
to have certificate in writing for each sale made for canning and
preserving purposes will be cause for denying such merchant per
mission for the sale of.sugar in any quanity.
The certificate should be carefully preserved by the mer
chant selling the sugar, who should make a record in a book of the
date, name of purchaser and amount purchased, and at the end
of each wek, the certificate should be mailed to the county food
Administrator. Any person improperly using a certificate to
obtain sugar will be denied the light to make any further pur
chase of that commodity.
U. S. Food Administration Sugar pledge for Home Canning
and preserving.
Ga., 1918.
Desiring to purchase sugar for immediate canning and pre
serving purposes, I hereby pledge myself to use such sugar ex- j
clusively for such purposes and under no circumstances to sell or 1
loan the same. Permission is sought to buy
members of a general confer
ence; it is not lawful to elect a
woman steward, and, a woman
may be elected a superintendent
of a Sunday school, but is not
thereby a member of the quar
terly conference,” was ordered
stricken from the book of laws.
The measure passed today is
practically the same which was
presented by the Woman’s Mis
sionary Council at the General
Conference held in 1914 and then
defeated by a vote of 105 to 171.
In their petition the women asked
that all restrictions against them
be removed from the discipline
that the word laymen be inter
preted to include women and for
recognition and for privileges
which are inherent with mem
bership.
While it was practically certain
that the women would win sur
prise was expressed that the vi
va voce vote in their favor was so
overwhelmingly large. Last min
ute efforts to block the vote, led
by Judge John S Candler, of At
lanta, lost through the ruling of
Bishop E D Mousen, who refused
to sustain a point of order based
on a technicality, on the ground
that the point should have been
taken previous to the debate. An
effort to have the vote taken by
orders, preachers and laymen sep
arately also failed.
Most of the debate centered on
the efforts to secure for women
special representations on the
board of missions. The confer
ence, however, sustained the com
mittee in its opinion that women
should not be extended “laity
rights plus,” but should really be
placed on the same footing as
men. The mission board is com
posed of ten preachers and twen
ty laymen. The women claim the
term “laymen” now will include
them on the board.

A Bilious Attack.
When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func

food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
inflames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
