SUGAR RULES
ARE NOW FIXED
ACCURATE RECORD KEPT TO
TIME IT REACHES CONSUMER
I'hree Pounds Per Month Per Person
la the Standard Sought for
Consumers.
N E W TO DA Y i f
PORTLAND, Ore., July HI. Under
'.he new certificate system for the dis
tribution of sugar which went into ef
fect throughout the United States on
luly 1, every pound of sugar is under
government control from the time it
caves tho refiner until it reaches the
lltimate' consumer.
"This certificate system is a elev
irly worked out plan" said Assistant
federal Food Administration Newell,
'and it provides an unbroken chain of
Hficial certificates, one for every pur
haso or transferof sugar, all the
ertificates takgn together ' comprisi
ng a complete checking system 'by
vhich every pound of sugar can bo
:raced. . This brings the entire sugar
lupply of the country under absolute
ontrol. . -
"Yet the system is vory simple. All
he sugar-using industries, and mnnu
'acturing concerns havo been classi
icd into four groups, A, II, C and 1)
nd limitations havo been placed upon
the sugar supply each may have nc
Tording to the degree of essentiality
f its products. Under Class A are
icluded such industries ns the manu
acture of syrups, candies, soft drinks,
hocolate, flavoring .extracts and 3im
'ar . products, these being limited to
0 percent of the amount they used
;f the corresponding month liist your,
llass B covers all hotels, restaurants,
afetcrias and other public eating
laces ,and these aro allotted sugar
n the basis of three pounds for every
inety meals served, tho same basis as
hat of households. Class D includes
ill manufacturers of bakers' products,
iweet yeast dough goods, pastries,
'ried cakos, etc., and these are limited
:o 70 per cent of tho amount ussd in
he corresponding month last year. All
-ctailers arid persons selling sugar
'or direct consumption are placed in
jlass E, and are allowed sugar for
sales to householder on the basis of
ihree pounds per person per month. I
"All firms or persons in classif ici
ions A and B must make their state
ments and secure their certificates' nl
the State Food Administration of
"ices in Portland. Those in classes C,
3 and E must make, their statements
nd secure their permits form' their
ounty food administrators. Firms or
oersons in any of these classes must
lurrender a certificate for the amount
of sugar bought with each purchase.
All sellers jf sugar, including refin
ers, manufacturers and producers of
5ugar must not sell sugar without the
surrender from the buyer of a ccrlif
cate for tho amount sold.
"In-practical operation tho certif
icate which the retail grocer obtains
from the food administration to cover
his sales of sugar to householders nnd
those which he secures against the
sales he makes to firms or persons in
clasifications A, B, C and I), will pass
dong to the wholesaler, and from the
wholesaler to the refiner. The refiner,
is required to return tho certificates
to the Satte Food Administrator, who
coops them on file. 1
"It will thus be seen that all users
of sugar except the ultimate con
sumer are under direct control. Mr.
Hoover still shows his faith in Hie
ocople by leaving it to them to keep
their sugar purchases and consump
tion within the limit requested by the
Food Administration. In limiting
their purchases for table use (and
their purehnsgs to 2 lbs. at a time fqr
persons in the city, li lbs. in the coun
try) to three pounds per month per
person. Mr. Hoover is relying upon
the integrity of tho people."
