irnrai rules
ABOUT FOOD SALES
ARE pmluted
FOOD ADMINISTRATION FORMAL-
LY ANNOUNCES INTERPRETA
TIONS OF LAW RELATING TO
DOUBTFUL QUESTIONS.
The following rulings of general in
terest relating to the sale of various
food commodities, have been made by
the food administration:
Sales of Flour to Farmers, Under
the heading of anti-hoarding regula
tions there are probably more num
erous requests concerning sales to
farmers and those who supply share
croppers than any other class of in
quiries, this particularly pertaining to
four. The following ruling is cited to
cover: *
“The administration sees no objec
tion to the well known practice of
farmers who take their wheat to the
mill where it is ground and receive in
return their necessary supply of flout.
There used to be a custom whereby
the farmer took his wheat to the mill,
left it there and took in return his
flour whenever and in such quantity
as he needed it. This has been stop
ped by the ruling allowing a mtn to
carry’ only a thirty days’ supply. A
farmer who raises no wheat much buy
in the same quantities and under the
same terms as anyone else, and hoard
ing will not be permitted.”
An illustration may be drawn from
this to the effect that it now'behooves
the farmers generally to raise wheat
for home consumption—for family
consumptoin—since in that way he
may better insure his needs, and at the
same time enhance the stock of tire
country.
A specific ruling of the administra
tion on the quantity sales of flour is
as follows:
“Flour in towms and cities should
be sold in eighth to quarter-barrel
quantities; in rural districts and farm
communities in quarter to halfbarrel
quantities.”
The normal 30-days’ supply controls
generally and is administered to all
alike. Exceptional cases passed on
under no condition will affect the val
idity of any rule, such as general rule
15, which controls the operation of
future delivery contracts.
Wholesale and Retail Sugar Sales. —
Sugar regulations have, of necessity,
been under very close scrutiny of the
administration. These rulings are im
portant guides to the trade:
“Wholesale grocers should not sell
sugar in quantities in excess of 1,000
pounds at a time to any retailer. Su
gar should not be shipped on back
order, not without positive order from
the buyer. Wholesale grocers should
use every precaution at their com
mand to prevent duplication of sales
which would give to a retailer the op
txjrtunity to'have more sugar than Is
necessary for distribution, or permit
ted under the noraml supply provision,
and which should be distributed thus -
“Sugar should be sold by the re
tailer in towns and cities to consun>
ers in two to five-pound quantities at
a single purchase; to farm and rural
customers in five to ten-pound quan
tities.”
Several instances have arisen where
the explanation has been offered to
the administration by retailers that
wholesalers had shipped quantities of
previously ordered goods without no
tifying the retailer, and thus the latter
had been overstocked. The above
ruling covers such cases. Instances
have arisen in which country mer
chants have asked permission to sell
for farm supplying purposes large
quantities of sugar at one sale to
“save trouble.” The second clause
above covers that.
Classification of Meats.—The ad
ministration has ruled that, in the
classification o f meats—
“ Mutton includes lamb; pork in
cludes ham, and beef includes veal”
■which answers numerous questions
raised in this state. It is an import
ant ruling in Georgia.
Further illustrations and rulings
will be given publicity from time to
time for the guidance of dealers and
the public.

■ IS IT BROAD, WHITE, FLABBY?
-YOUR BLOOB NEEDS ZIRON!
fWhen Your Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
' of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue in the mirror! •
It ought to be pointed, pink, clean and firm.
If it is broad, white, coated, flabby, It is probably a sign that £ou are
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs iron to bring it up to proper condition. >
I When your blood needs iron, take Ziron, the new Iron Tonic, which con
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the beet physicians for this form of trouble.
I ® When you feel tired and miserable, lack ambition, suffer from indigestion,
rheumatic, pains, gastric catarrh, depression of spirits and a general feeling
of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you back to health?
Ziron, the new compound of Iron, contains no habit-forming drugs. It k
a safe, reliable tonic remedy—good for men, women and children.
Mr. R. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., "Some weeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skin would feel
clammy. I ached worse from my kneea down. I didn’t rest well nights, and
my appetite wasn’t good. I was afraid I would get down in bed and so much
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something
to help me and decided to try Ziron... I had not taken one third of a bottle
until I felt much better. I grew stronger, began to get hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron is a splendid tonic.”

Sumter County
It me great pleasure to announce my appoint
ment as District Agent of the Mutual Benefit Life Insur
ance Company of Newark, N. J., for a field covering Sum
ter and surrounding counties, to succeed Mr. Robert L.
Bivins, who resigned, as you know, to accept a pastoral
call to Forsyth, Ga. Having given up a lucrative salaried
position in order to give my whole time and attention to
this work, 1 am counting on the continued good will and
patronage of my fiiends and customers who have favored
me in the past, and in return I am prepared to give them
the very best that there is in life insurance.
The Mutual Benefit is one of the oldest, largest and
best of American life insurance companies For 76 years
it has maintained an unblemished record of honest and
economical management and fair treatment of policy
holders, and as my references I offer you a long list of the
best people in this county, who know by experience.
The Mutual Benefit believes in r ecipi ocity, as evi
denced by the fact that they have loaned close to $300,-
000 on Sumter county farms, and over $200,000 in Ter
rell county. In this way you are keeping your money al
home and at the same time getting life insurance of the
highest quality at low cost.

that is to say, we voluntarily extend to old members the
improvements and advantages of the new policies.
