The 1 war food administration
reports that there Is no intention
of rationing soap. The supply
situation, does not seem to war
rant any such measure. hile
it may not always be possible
to purchase a particular brand
of soap, it seems sure that we
will be able to purchase some
kind of soap.
': In order to insure this, the
government is releasing large
quantities of fats and oils from
reserves, and Is planning to pro
vide for most efficient use of
these f fats by a larger a use of
domestic materials. This action
should bring about an increase
of 10 per cent in soap produc
tion. Tdl consumers to-buy no
more soap than is actually need
