Important Red Cross Notice,
The Milledgevlile Red Cross chap
ter has received an urgent nppeal
from the government for the conser
vation of two metals, tin and plati
n' m, needed in the prosecution of the
war.
The appeal is to every Red Cross
member and to the public generally
to keep every bit of tin foil, every
empty tube of salve or tooth paste,
every tid pewter toy or vessel of any
ort. Tin is made from these and the
government must have tin to carry on
the war.
Tin cans cannot be used 'as they
are tin “in name only.”
In addition to the two metals need
ed the government is also asking for
fruit stones and nut shells which are
used in making carbon for the gas
masks our soldiers wear. Thp fol-

Atlanta, Oct. 19.—In order to facili
tate the sale of substitutes ith wheat
flour, tlie Food Administration will
permit the trade to pack cornmeul,
orn fleur, barley flour and oat flour
n packages of G and 12 pounds and
eye llo r in packages of 1G and 32
>ounds. This is an amendment to the
ule which requires them to be packed
n 1, 1 1-2, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100
pound 'packages. This amendment
applies only us long as the present
regulation which requires one pound
of substitute to bo sold with every
four pounds of wheat flour, is in effect.
A 6-pound package of the first nam
ed substitutes may be sold with 24 1-2
pounds of wheat flour, or. if rye flour
is sold as a substitute a 16-pound
package of rye flour may lie sold with
the 24 1-2 pound bag of wheat flour.
in order to avoid the waste of car
tons the Food Administration in a
few special cases has authorized the
use of odd-sized cartons already on
hand. Jobbers and retailers may con
tinue to sell such packages not pack
ed by themselves without special per
mits, but In all cases a special per

Atlanta Oct. 19.— Approximately
200,000,000 pounds of sugar will be
ssv. 1 per year by a new ruling of the
Food Administration which will pre
vent any one from obtaining more
than two pounds of sugar per month.
Mar.y peopio were unconsciously
breaking the regulation regarding the
distribution of sugar by purchasing
their sugar on the basis of one-half
pound per capita per week. On this
basis it four weeks to the month
there would be only forty-eight weeks
to the year, or three hundred and
thirty-six days. This would leave
twenty-nine days or practically an
other month during which sugar would
be consumed on a basis of two pounds
per capita. With a population of 100,-
000,000 people this world require
ab ut an additional 200,000,000 pounds
of sugar.
The new regulation effective from
October 15th, permits the consumer
to purchase his allotment of sugar ev
ery 15 days or semi-monthly rathe^
than every week.
