W. B. Ayer Gives Warning to Con
sumers Wbo Persist In Baying
More Sugar Than Allowed
by Federal Orders,
A card system for 11ml ting sugar pur
chases to two pounds a person a month
has been adopted by the food adminis
tration. Each family will have one
sugar card on file with the dealer, ac
cording to ' the new rules which are
being put Into effect In Oregon by Food
Administrator Ayer. Every purchase
will be recorded on this card, which
will contain data on the sugar pur
chased to date and a pledfo not to
brak rules of the Food Administration.
The cards will be filed with th
Food Administrator, who will check
them over to provide against duplica
Hons. The new restrictions were made
following complaints from retail deal
era that many were repeating pur
chases and were buying at different
tores.
A catechism summary of the sugar
situation has been prepared to Inform
the public of the seriousness of the art
uatlon.
"I wish to emphasize that any family
having on hand sugar in excess of their
needs for canning should return this to
the dealer." said Mr. Ayer In speaking
of the new rules. "This will assist the
Food Administration In arranging
fair and equable distribution of exist
ing supplies:
The catechism follows:
What Is iuur hoarding?
It Is bavin on hand more than Is needed
for a reasonable length of time. Tou should
not fall to return any unused sug-ar pur
chased for canning purposes.
May a household have more than
month's supply of sugar on hand?
This Is not Justifiable except in extreme
eases where there are no stores available
forepurrhaae. and It should be done only
upon advice of the Federal Food Ad minis
trator or his deputy.
What are some of the evil effects of
hoardtne?
It Lhrows the distribution system out of
Joint: it raises prices: It imposes a heavier
burden upon those already doing their ut
most: It results in waste wnere tnere are
no proper facilities for storage; it la dis
honest.
What Is the moral wrong of hoarding?
It Is selfish, cowardly and unpatriotic
It Ik. In effect, taking unto oneself special
privileges at a time when all Americana
should be on the same footing, share and
share alike.
Is there snr punishment for hoarders?
yes. The food control act provides fines
f not more than $5000 and Imprisonment
for hoarding by dealers, manufacturers or
householders.

Members of ths Portland Rotary

dollars worth of smileage books dis
tributed by the Rotarians were eagerly
received by the boys. The organiza
tion Bow Is gathering up other smile
age books to be sent to Oregon troops
at Camp Lewis.
Another movement that probably
will be launched by Rotarians as a
result of the visit Is the complete fur
nishing of a comfort and rest room at
the base hospital. Following the ex
ample of Seattle women, who furnished
a room complete, the matter will be
taken up by the Ladles of Rotary, it is
expected.
Word has been received by Presi
dent Waters that the International
board of directors of Rotary have been
received by President Wilson. Acting
on Instructions from the recent con
vention at Kansas City, the board
promised the President their united
support In the prosecution of the war
and active co-operation in the work of
social hygiene which Is about to be
launched by the Government.
A complete report on the reception
of the board by the President will be
