The 8ugar Situation.
War requirements have so Increas
ed as to make Immediately necessary
more far reaching food conservation
along certain lines thsn at any time
heretofore, fnstructlons from the
United States food admlnistraUon—
in Washington—are that the sugar
has so developed In the past few days
as to require particularly rigid econo
my.
Need Now For Beef.
From another angle, the demands
have become so pressing on the stores
of this country to meet conditions
abrosd thst every ounce available ot
the present beef supply must be di
verted to the war front and to the
Allied necessities.
' Special Order Issued.
To meet these conditions Dr. An
drew M. Soule, federal food adminis
trator for Georgia, tonight Issued an
order, Immediately effective, limiting
the sale ot sugar to householders In
cities to not more thsn two pounds
at one time, and In the rural districts
to not more than live pounds at ons
time.
In each instance It is made obliga
tory on the part of thw retail mer
chant making the sale that he ascer
tain of the prospective purchaser that
he or she has not purchased sugar
elsewhere and that the purchase about
to be made is Intended for home con
sumption.
- As to Manufacturers. _
Limitations on manufacturing con
cerns heretofore in existence, under
the certificate plan, are continued In
elect.'
For Canning Purposes.
The purchase of sugar for canning
and preserving purposes Is continued
under limit of 25 pounls at one time,
procurable only on the signed cer
tificate heretofore provided for, and
turthef limits to not more than BO
pounds for the balance of the season
to any one family for canning or
preserving purposes.
Limit Beef Consumption.
A further order Issued by Dr. Soule
limits the use of beef of all kinds lu
both the home and all public eating
places. R>r home consumption, tho
provision is for the consumption of
not more than l 1-2 pounds with
bone or 1 1-4 popunds of clear beet
per week per person.
In hotels the limitation Is to ser
vice of boiled beet not more than
twice a week and of beefsteak or
roast beef not more than once a
week.
Dr. Soule’s Order.
The orders Issued by Dr. Soule are
as 'ollows:
"To all county administrators and
tho public: The demand for beef
for our armies and the armies of our
allied nations and their civilian popu
lation for the summer months Is be
yond the measure of the surplus of
this country. On the other hand the
United States has Increased Its sup
ply or pork this year sufficiently to
permit other necessary economic
conservation by Its more liberal use.
It, therefore, will be ot direct service
to the war program of this country
and our service to out- armies and
those of our allies, If the people ot
Georgia—the same direction Is being
given In other states—will in as large
degree as possible substitute the use
of fresh pork, bacon, hams and sau
sage for beef and beef products.
Cut Use of iBsef.
"If is, threfore, directed and order
ed, that al hotels, restaurants and
public eating places, effective at once,
shall not place on their menus or
serve to patrons boiled beet at more
than two meals'ln each calendar week,
beefsteak at not more than one meal
each week, and roast beef al not more
than one' meal each week.
Householders are requested to
conform to the fullest of their ability
with the foregoing and accompanying
order. They should pot, under any
circumstances, buy more than one
and one quarter pounds of clear beet
or dhe and one half pounds of beef
Including the bone in-any, calendar
week tor each member of the family.
"Urgency of the Immediate war con.
dltions makes necessary: the adoption
ot this program’ at this time.
Changes Are Necessary.
"The public generally, * both the
householder and the nuainess enter-
rprise, will readily appreciate that the
changing conditions in production,
from seasot/to season; the changing
situation In shipping, and, therefore,
ot the markets available to the Allies;
and the increasing demand for sup
piles for our own growing army, w/tt,
the fluctuation ot the beet supply In
FTance, all make It impossible ‘ to
adopt a fixed pollcrjfor any-Jong fixed

■sHHa
The food sdminlstratlon has
cently asked for economy In all meat
consumption. It Is now the purposq
of the administration to emphasize
clearly the necessity of the moment
for a still further reduction ot tne
beef consumption by our own people
and to meet this necessity It mskes
the suggestion and request ot sub
stitution ot the use of pork and pork
products.
Till September 15th.
"It is always the policy of the ad
ministration to suspend or relieve any
of Its conservation orders as soon ss
the purpose for which th«y are de
signed has been met. It Is anticipat
ed thst this request will hold good
until about Beptember 15th, and to
meet necessary demands the full co-
opratlon of the public la most earnest
ly urged.
"This publication Is to he accepte-j
by all parties concerned as official no
tlce of promulgation ot the foregoing
order."
Further Limitation of Sugar.
Dr. Soule’s order on the sale and
distribution of sugar Is even more dl
reel than the beet order, it Is as fol
lows;
"To all administrators and public:
Effective at once, it is ordered an1
directed that al sales of sugar by to
tall In the state ot Georgia shall, until
further notice by the Federal Food
Administrator, be limited to not moro
than two pounds at any one time to
town or city purchasers and to not
more than five pounds at any one
time to purchasers. In the rural dis
tricts.
-The Merchant's Duty.
"The merchant Is especially direct
ed that th*. duty Is placed upon him
o' ascertaining from ea-.h pr :jpectlve
purchaser, hefi»» uaklng a *ve- 'hat
te or she has i.ot that day male fsr
ebste or sugtr clic-where, and that the
purchase about to be made Is Intended

“Under no circumstance shall there

For Canning and Preserving.

Fins Valedictory.
Tho valedictory read by Miss Eli
sabeth Darlington Carroll was
splendid piece of work—as to Its mat
ter, expression, dear English, and In
the delightful delivery. 8he spoke ot
the war and its responsibilities and
concluded with a brief summary of
tho patriotlo activities ot the high
school In tbe past year.
A Remarkable School.
Mr. Mell, the principal, made some
interesting announcements. He again
called attention to the fact that tbe re
ceipt of a certificate la as important
in rank and standi for as much as
the taking of a diploma—an example
be cited: Miss Virginia Allen, who
received her diploma last year, com
pleted tbs past year the commercial
course and received a full certificate
In typewriting and stenography.
He delivered the prise for tbe best
drilled cadet In tbe military depart
ment—to Cadet Paul Richards.
He also delivered a handsome token
of appreciation—from members ot the
board ot education and . faculty—to
Miss Mary Martin, who baa made a
most remarkable record tor this or
any other school. For seven years,
through throe years of tbe grammar
school and four in the high school
she bad s perfect attendance record.
In alt those consecutive years being
exempt from final examinations by
reason of high average dally record
In class room.
Record for Country.
Mr. Melt also, tor the benefit of the
patrons of the school recited some of
the record of the school In the past
year in patriotic activities: The girls
had requested that they be allowed to
devote the time and material usually
going into their self-made grad ns tlon
dresses (a required Item of the last
term's conns nsnally) to the Red
Cross; and had been for the work
done allowed by the divisional man
agement to wear Red Cross regulation
costumes as commencement dreesec.
He reported more then 12,600 articles
made (or the Red Cross, from the
simpler small articles to tho massive
cases In which all the articles sent
out by the Athena chapter had bean
lent to headquarters—and by head-
'quartan, without re-boxtng, to France,
