GEORGIA LEADS ALL THE STATES
It Is gratifying to learn that this state leads all other states in Its ob-
| servance of the food administration requirements.
Every call which has been made by Dr. Soule, Federal Food Admlnlstra-
I tor for the state, has met a hearty response and with unanimous coopera-
| tton.
When the citizens of Georgia were called upon to report surplus flour
I (over thirty days' supplies) the-people rallied to the call and the reports
showed a large surplus of flour In tbe hands of individuals. No. one refused
to give up the surplus, but on the other hand they offered it freely for the
use of the government to providing for the Allies and for our boys who are
| fighting for their country.
The reduction In consumption of sugar was accepted In the same spirit
I and that commodity has been conserved until all have been able to secure
| ample quantities for actual needs.
The hotels, restaurants, and eating counters have lived up to the re-
| qulrementa of the food laws and have eliminated wheat bread from their
I bills of fare.
