PRESCRIPTION
0. G. LUEHRS STRfJ-Tira'S
Portland. Or. Aug II In onl'T
that the consuming public may under
stand the seriousness of the sugar
situation and the great Importance
of strictly observing the Komi Admin
latratlon' sugar regulation. Federal
Komi Administrator W. B. Ayer lis"
it attention to a "catechism"
recently Iwojed from Washington. D.
0. and Mr. Ayer nskes that erery Or
egon household give this catechism
careful consideration
"The sugar shortage In the I'tilted
States Is real, and not Imaginary."
said Mr Ayer, "and the Food Admin
istration Is endearorlng to ccttre a
fair and equable distribution An al
lotment has been made for every
state, and any people buying in e
cess of their proper allowance a
wlthholdlng any sugar above their
immediate needs from the gpneral
supply. Is simply profiting at the ex
pense of other. It should he suffi
ciently clear to everyone by now th.it
adherence to tha Food Administra
tion's regulations la necessary for the
common good of all. Anyone violat
ing these regulations Is claiming a
special privilege for himself, and If
the offense Is detected, lie Is subject
to the penalty provided under tha
Food Control Act. I hope the num
ber of khcIi poraons will prove to he
small, and that tha Food Administra
tion will have the loyal and united
support of all Oregon families In Its
efforts to fairly distribute the limited
supply of sugar allotted to this state
each month."
Tha "catechism" to which Mr.
Ayar directs attention la as follew:
Hoe- a.
What la sugar boarding 7
Having on head mora than Is need
ed for a reaonable length of time.
You should not fall to return any un
used balance of sugar purchased for
canning purpose
May a household have a m onth's
supply on hand?
This Is not Justifiable except In ex
treme oases where there Is no atora
available for purchase, and It should
be done only upon advloa of the Fed
eral Food Administrator or his desv
uty.
What are soma of tha evil effects of
hoarding?
It throws the distribution system
out of Joint; It ralaea prloes; It Im
poses a heavier burden upon those al
ready doing their utmost; It results
In waste where there are no proper
facilities for storage.
What Is tha moral wrong of hoard
ing? It la selfish, cowardly, unpatriotic
It Is. In affect, taking unto one's self
special privileges at a time when all
Americans should be on the eaiuo
footing, share and share alike.
Is there any punishment for hoard
ing? Yea. Tha Food Control Act pro
vldeti fines of not mora than $5000
and Imprisonment for hoarding by
dealers, manufacturers or house
holder. BUY W.8.8.

with the United States food adminis

In one of these statements Mr. Wal

Krloa told me, lo Poland. In the midst

are so much human material for build

the German account. Life, liberty,
happiness, human sentiment, family
ties, grace and generous Impulse, these
have no place beside the one concern.

Starvation must excite no pity ; sym
pathy must not be allowed. If It ham-,

Germany's code.
Starvation Is hero," gold General
von Krloa. "Candidly, wo would like
to see It relieved ; wo fear our soldiers
may bo unfavorably affected by tbu
things Ihst they aee. But since It la
hero, starvation most serve onr pnr
poee. Bo wo aet It to work for tier
many. By starvation wo can aeeom
pllah la two or three years In East
Poland more than wa have In West
Poland, which Is East Prussia, la the
last hundred years. With that in
view, we propose to turn this force to
our advantage.
This country Is mesnt for Ger
many," continued the keeper of starv
ing Poland. "It Is a rich alluvial
country which Germany has neodod
for some generations. We propose to
remove the able-bodied working Poles
from this country. It leaves li open
for the Inflow of German working peo

They will occupy II and work It."
