The District Food Administrator at
Dallas reported August 17 that on the
last four weekly reports at the Kleber
Baking Company of that city the bak-
ery was short on substitutes. A bear-
ing was called, but on August 21 tbe
administrator advised the Enforce-
ment Division he bad reached conclu-
sion the proprietor was innocent of
any intentional violation, laying the
blame on the foreman, who had been
discharged. On August 28 the admin-
istrator again reported that he was
convinced that the proper amount of
substitutes were not used in his opera-
tions. The result is that the Kleber
Baking Company has voluntarily-
agreed in lieu of revocation or suspen-
sion of license to pay $250 to the Red
Cross and to close its place of busi-
ness on September 18 and 19, posting
on the premises a notice to the effect
that such closing was made for viola-
tion of the regulations.

In order to prevent the waste
of labor and parchment of paper
and carton made for units small-
er than the pound size, the rule
prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of butter in less than pound
prints has been amended so as
to go into effect on January 1,
1919, instead of September 15,
1918. This is to prevent the
waste of supplies of printed pa-
per and cartons already on hand.

SUGAR FOR USE IN
TEACHING CANNING.
The question has been asked
the Federal Food Administra-
tion for Texas by various per-
sons whether schools teaching
Home Economics will be provid-
ed with sugar for lessons in can-
ning at the opening of the school
year, when these lessons are
usually given. Administratm^^^
Peden is assured by the Sum
Division of the U. S. Food
ministration that this sugar will
be provided through the usual
channels of sugar distribution.
This means that persons wish-
ing to purchase sugar for teach-
ing canning in departments of
Home Economics of our schools
and colleges, may apply to the
Food Administrator for each «
quantity as they need for that M
purpose. It is urged, however^-^M
that teachers will make it a part 4®*
