Buying Sugar For Home Use
Retail merchants are required by

selves the merchants of the state have
been authorized by the Food Adminis

following form, require the signature
of the purchaser, and keep the signed
application on file subject to inspec
tion by the administration:

No Beef For This Hotel
The Hicks hotel in Savannah, on#
of the large hostelries of the state
will not be allowed to serve beet in
any form until January 1, 1919.
The concern was found to have vio
lated the rigid beef conservation or
der by serving beefsteak on Monday
it is permitted only at one meal Thurg.
day—and excessive use of wheafc
bread. The case was a clear one ot
flagrant violation. \
In lieu of action by the Food Admin-’
istration the company paid $500.00 to
the Savannah Red Cross chapter and
agreed to use no beef whatsoever pri
or to next January-
We’ll substitute corn for wheat and
victory for defeat.
FOOD FACTS
The demand for beef for the army,
the allies and their civilian population
for this summer is beyond our present
supply and as a consequence the food
administration is asking that the con
sumption of beef of all kinds be great
ly reduced for the time being. On the
other hand we have increased our
supply of pork and an economical ex
pansion of the use of this product is
advisable at this time. Milk, cream
and butter are now 1 abundant and rep
resent on many farms “perishables”
not marketed. These products with
cheese may well be used to make up
for the shortage of beef and supply
the necessary protein and fat to bal
ance the diet of fresh vegetables.
Every meal in the rural communi
ties and the city communities as well,
where they have followed to the food
administration recommendation to
plant a garden, should now be a gar
den party. The use of the home
grown garden and orchard products
now will release immense amounts of
the more concentrated and staple
foods for the Allies and soldiers and
for the people living in industrial cen
ters where gardens are impossible.
It is not patriotic to use canned goods
at this time when fresh products are
available. Immense stocks of com
mercial canned goods must be reserv
ed for the army and navy and every
home can help to build up this sur
plus by eating fresh foods and cam
ning all they need for themselves.
