SUGAR CARDS NEXT REGULATION IN UTAH This Is the Word Brought Back From Chicago by Ogden Grocer. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, May 29. That it will be but a short time before the housewives in the cities and towns of Utah must purchase pur-chase the sugar they want by the use of the card system was the statement made today by J. S. Carver, member of the National Retail Grocers' executive committee, com-mittee, upon his return from the association's asso-ciation's convention at Chicago. One of the speakers at the convention was George E. Lichty, who, as representative represen-tative of Herbert Hoover, food administrator, adminis-trator, outlined the plans for food distribution. dis-tribution. Regarding the purchase of sugar in the future, Mr. Carver said an order would be Issued which will compel the housewives of any community to bring cards to the store with them each time they desire to purchase sugar. Before canning of fruir the women must obtain the cards and show that the sugar is desired for canning can-ning purposes. Mr. Carver also reported that it would be necessary for the families of the city to stop the use of white bread. He said few families in the east are using white flour, though there are certain families in the intermountai region who have been reported as buying flour and the substitutes substi-tutes and feeding the substitutes to the chickens. This kind of patriotism, Mr. Carver said, had been reported in Ogden, and it must cease. The government, he said, feels that the people of this country can do without much of the white flour, so that the wheat can be sent to the army in France.
